“If you love great common spaces, fun vibes, and prefer hipper demographics in the great locations, Moxy Banff is perfect choice. Typical of most Moxy hotels, the rooms are a bit small but the well appointed common areas more than make up for it. Plus, in Banff, we recommend you spend most of your time outside of your hotel room anyway.”
