The room was very well appointed, lots of towels, coffee, great toiletries and a super comfy bed. I’m not a fan of the automated hotel, but front desk service at a sister hotel a couples of blocks away. The Dorothy is a fair walk from downtown Banff.

Large rooms with doors to a huge, enclosed patio that is perfect for pets. Beautifully renovated and nicely furnished. The only down side was that the floor needed a good mopping.

Sajjad

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No check-in information was sent in advance and there was so many confusion to get into the room. The service is poor. Coffee maker and electric kettle are very old and almost not usable. The cups are not clean and there is no paper cup. I would not stay here again.
