My husband and I made the drive from Vancouver to Banff to celebrate a milestone anniversary. We booked a Mountain View room and when we arrived we were checked into a room that had a partial view only. I was extremely disappointed and I called the concierge to explain. In no time we were provided a new room, which not only had a better view, it was an upgrade. They told me that they appreciated us staying with them to celebrate. From the check in process to the room itself, this hotel is one of the top places I've ever stayed at. It was clean, quiet, staff was so friendly and the view....was spectacular. I will be returning again and again! Read less

This is my third stay at this hotel over the last 3 years and I keep coming back because of the excellent views, great rooms and great hospitality. We booked a Premier room with mountain views. Really huge room, modern and updated. Excellent Mountain views from the windows. Also very polite staff and I was very pleased by the Covid precautions taken by the staff. Masks compulsory inside the hotel and I was pleased to see sanitization stations at every corner! The hotel is conveniently situated -very close to the Gondola and the Hot springs (which are sadly closed due to the pandemic). Its.a 5 minute drive to downtown Banff. The restaurant (the Primrose is open) which we visited for breakfast- excellent service! I will be back to Banff in November and will book the Rimrock again! The only negative thing- is that parking is quite tight, but this is the same at most hotels in Banff and sadly because of the Covid Pandemic, Valet parking is suspended which is expected to help protect the staff!

The Rimrock is our weekend getaway hotel in Banff. We’ve stayed here before and always enjoyed our stay. It’s similar in quality to the Fairmont but slightly cheaper and has bigger rooms. We were greeted by valet without getting out of our vehicle and they already had us checked in and provided us room keys. There was no need to check in at the front desk which was fantastic. Valet parking is not available right now but self park is simple. We had a pet friendly room with a great view. The pool was open and even though we needed to book a time slot (which we didn’t know) they were able to accommodate when we showed up. There was hand sanitizer everywhere and we had no concerns over safety as everyone wore a mask. Checkout literally took less then 1 minute and I was emailed an invoice instead of a paper copy which I love. Great hotel and staff. Read less

Stayed here for 2 nights, as part of our road trip. First night happened to be our wedding anniversary! Surprise to see a lovely card, and 2 strawberry covered chocolate in our room! We were on the top floor 1 bedroom junior suite. It was perfect for us as we were travelling with a toddler, and baby. View from the room was amazing, bed was comfy. Also room was very clean. We dinned at the Larkspur Lounge, be sure to make reservation. We didn’t realized how busy it would get on a weeknight in September. They do have a kids meal for those who are travelling with little ones. Self parking is $22 a night, plenty of spots available during our stay. I had no issues during my stay, friendly staffs, clean, large room, and comfy bed, and great value! 5 stars across the board! Read less
