Mountain View Inn Hotel

Overall, the stay was very nice. The standard that is help for Alberta is a very high bar I must be honest. But that is because of their expense and location. This spot was a quiet area with rooms of decent size and not much disturbances. And for place being so close to the mountains it is nice to not have that far to travel. Bathrooms were nice and had soaps, hairs dryers, towels, and everything needed for a short stay. Overall I was very happy. It's close to everything to be honest.

I have previously stayed at the Mountain View Inn and found the service to be rather exceptional and the decor reasonable for its value. That being said, in recent years, they have substantially increased prices to the point where the value has plummeted in comparison to what it was before. In short, a good solid stay but the budget-conscious traveller around here may want to look elsewhere now.

The check-in process was very smooth. We received a call before our check-in to confirm our arrival time, and how to check in after office hours. The front desk was friendly and gave us great tips about where to visit. We enjoyed using our kitchenette to make breakfast in the morning. We highly recommend staying at Mountain View Inn!

Decor is dated, but for the price, you really can't go wrong. Our room is very spacious with a comfortable couch, a good sized table with two chairs, a dresser, tv, etc. There are two sinks and water pressure is great. There is also an in unit AC & thermostat in the room, which was nice. The room and hotel are very clean. Also, very quiet in our room. We couldn't hear any other tenants through the walls, which was nice. Front desk service was superb. Location is also pretty good. Close to the rec center, food options and lots of little shops. Plus, easy access to the downtown core, which we walked to in about 15 minutes. My only real gripe with the place is the bed. You'd think there was 3/4" plywood under the fitted sheet. In my life I've never slept on a mattress so hard. Pretty sure I've slept on softer rocks while tenting in the back country! LOL. And the pillows have zero support. Bring a foam topper plus your pillows & save some dough at this otherwise comfortable hotel.

Great location. Staff members lovely!! Rooms clean and tidy. Met most of our needs. Wonderful stay!!

I've stayed in hostels cleaner and better serviced than this hotel. The bed linens were the only clean part of the room. Sign in room said "To keep prices affordable, daily housekeeping serives are not imcluded in our rates". You can pay extra to have the room cleaned. Spend the extra $20 elsewhere for a better room. Front of house staff was friendly. Otherwise avoid. Reviews about hotel quality go back years, and clearly no one is investing in this place. Spend an extra $30-50 to stay somewhere better. The s

An older hotel, but quaint and charming. Compared to other low cost hotels, this place is perfect. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and gave us a 20% discount after we decided to stay a second night. The rooms are very clean, even though they are a little dated. It's within a 5-10 minute walk to restaurants. I suppose the only reason why there are negative reviews is because people come here expecting a million dollar service, but you get what you pay for!

Decent place to stay at with the basic necessities needed.20 minutes from Banff and about 50minutes to lake Louise.Receptionists were quite helpful.Place is around downtown Canmore.Overall good place.

Clean, quiet hotel with a clean room and clean bathroom. Room includes table to eat at, TV, mini fridge and products to sanitize to avoid spread of viruses and bacteria etc. No complaints. I recommend this place.

Price - Very good! Used my expedia points and was under $60 for 2 queen bed room. Location - not central, but there are lots of places walking distance. Cleanliness - Bathroom was good, carpets are old. If you come out to snowboard or ski, its a great price. You are not in the rooms all day. Late check out was no problem. Alot nicer than Rundle mtn lodge for same price

Stayed here for 2 nights during our Banff trip last weekend. We were honestly a little nervous after reading reviews, but were pleasantly surprised! For the low price we paid, we weren't expecting anything fancy. The room doesn't have a fridge, couch, or maid service. But we had clean beds and a good sized bathroom, and enjoyed our stay. Staff is very friendly & the place itself is a cute little inn. Would definitely recommend to someone looking for a clean, safe place to stay on a budget!

We just arrived today after a long day and a long drive to find the toilet not working and the man working told us we would have to use a bucket to fill the back of it and we would get another room tomorrow or the toilet fixed. Not impressed with the room especially after seeing pictures of it before booking in which it looked much nicer, too tired to do anything tonight and they office closed soon after we arrived, may be finding another place to stay for our next night in Canmore.

Nice quaint hotel. Friendly staff. Got a room with high ceiling and bay windoes. Very good value for the money. Free wi-fi.

Can't beat the price. Okay, it's not a luxury resort, but it's clean, friendly, and the price is right. Very satisfied with what I received for the money. There is no on site restaurant and only tea and coffee service is included for breakfast. Easy free parking. Easy access to town centre and highway 1.

I can take old and shabby but this place was dirty. The bathroom shower had hair as did one of our towels, I think the toilet stains were permanent. The carpet was dirty and there were stains on both comforters. The night stand was old and had cigarette burns all over it. We reported a back up in the tub on our first night and were told nothing could be done until the next morning. When my husband asked for another room there was not one available. We were finally given a nasty plunger and my husband cleared what ever was in there. Staff was hit or miss as far as being nice or not. Also no one cleans or restocks your room until you check out. If you want anything get it yourself. I have never been to a hotel with no maid service. The price was low I suppose this is why. That said we stayed at another place on this trip too, same price range but an excellent stay. We plan a return trip but will skip the Mountain View Inn.

This is a small and cute hotel. It's old school, you get an actual key for your room. The beds are comfy, it's nice and clean and affordable. The downside is how loud it is in the morning when everyone is getting up and checking out. Especially being on the first floor, I was woken up by people going down the halls on the second floor.

Was looking for a last minute place for New Years and this was the LAST room my friend and I could find anywhere near Banff that wasn't $300+ a night. We were wary, given the bargain price, but we're avid skiiers so we figured we'd brave it. We were DELIGHTFULLY surprised, this place was beyond expectations. The room was spacious, immaculately clean- the furnishings slightly outdated, but all in excellent condition, and the bathroom was spotless and bright with updated fixtures. True, no coffee maker in the room, but the bathroom did have a hairdryer- a luxury we weren't expecting. The room had a flat screen tv, and there was easy to connect to- fast and consistent internet. The desk staff was warm and seemed genuinely happy to have us. No pool or hot tub on the premises for the end of a day on the hills, but the gorgeous rec centre was only a 5-8 minute walk up the street and for $8, all the hot tub you could want (without the 'bros' that usually come with apres-ski hot tubs). They have a 'no noise' rule after 10 pm, which was reassuring as we were concerned that with the price, we'd end up with a pile of kids partying all night next door- but it was quiet and we had a great night all around. For the budget conscious, but not 'cheap' customer, this place is a great bargain for your buck.
