We stayed at the Rimrock for 5 nights mid May and enjoyed every minute. In reading previous reviews a lot of people commented on getting the best view from the higher rooms (floors 7-9). After a very long day of travelling we were thrilled to learn our room was ready early, however were advised it was on the fourth floor. We expressed our concern as our main reason for picking this location was the view. Jessica (I'm sorry if I have the name incorrect!!) was more than happy to show us the room first to ensure we were satisfied. And we were!! The view (from room 412) was beautiful - just as we imagined. We ate breakfast 3 mornings in the Primrose and the food was amazing. Twice our waitress was Daniell and she was wonderful. We had a nice time chatting with her about the area. The bus passes into Banff are a great perk and we didn't find any issue with the parking for our Jeep. There were always enough spaces. The proximity to the hot springs and Gondola ( a must) were also a plus. If we ever get the pleasure of coming back to the area, we would definitely stay again! Read less

We were disappointed from the point of check in at this hotel and overall experienced more negatives than positives. Negatives * Front desk staff that are disinterested and not helpful * The least helpful and knowledgeable concierge we’ve ever encountered * Rooms are dated with shabby decor and tired furniture * Bathrooms are small and water pressure poor * Hairdryer was next to useless * Furniture in public areas is shabby and needs attention Positives * A comfortable bed * Free ROAM bus pass with a very convenient service downtown Overall this hotel seems to rely on past glory years and hasn’t moved with the times - in particular the staff need some training into good customer service. We wouldn’t recommend this hotel especially given the higher cost than many others in the area. Read less

Nice spacious rooms, excellent views on the valley side. Service was friendly from check-in to check-out. A little bit further out from town, but the mountain side setting presents a really great Banff experience.

Amazing location, stunning views, staff friendly and helpful. Free shuttle bus going downtown regularly. Right next to the hot springs. I would definitely recommend. The rooms are spacious and vast and there are a few restaurants available. One of them offering a vegan gastronomic menu!
