Mobile check in did not work so we had to first stop at the Canoe Hotel to check in which wasn’t super convenient. Other than that, very happy with the staff and the room. It is at the far end of the road in Banff so good amount of walking- unless you catch the bus which we didn’t do because of the timing.

This is a great property, a small Motel without any reception or lobby, so you have to check in at the Caribou hotel nearby. You get the perks provided by the hotel, such as pool, hot tub access. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated, and it’s comfortable. It’s on the north end of town which is a bit of a trek to downtown, but still walkable. The hotel does provide free bus tickets for the duration of your stay. Nice Motel overall.

The staff at the front desk of the Caribou were very accommodating and helpful when we called for assistance. We had a very enjoyable stay and really liked the Dorothy Motel venue, the amply free parking around there and the convenient and delicious dining places nearby.

Rooms are comfortable and absolutely adorable with the forest-floor design on the floors. We really enjoyed our stay. Nice coffee bar (but coffee whitener, no creamer). About a mile from the heart of Banff where most restaurants are, so walkable. We did not go to the sister hotel for a hot tub and it was all self check-in so we did not see other staff or guests.

Overall a pretty nice motel. Loved the lighting and cleanliness, perfect. However, it was missing some essential things for the washroom (no conditioner), no slippers, and lack of services available. Location was a little isolating without any help- having to check-in and out from another hotel location was a hassle. Otherwise, it was pretty decent. Not sure if the price was reasonable though, could probably find a cheaper place.
