Frommer's Review
A lovely, homey spot for those who don't mind mingling with friendly owners and other guests, this B&B started life as a tourist lodge in the '40s before being converted to a private home; it was restored and turned back into a guest house in the '80s. The hosts, Lynne and Ecki, have been working in the Banff tourist sector for years, and understand that quality service and value for the dollar is what brings people back in hyper-competitive Banff. Their rooms are comfortable, historical, and perfectly maintained; the lounge area, with its big Rundlestone fireplace (that is, stones culled from the ever-crumbling Mount Rundle) feels much more like a comfortable living room than a public lounge. Breakfast is a full-cooked meal with homemade baked goods. Downtown Banff is just a two-minute walk away.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
