The Dorothy Motel
Apa Kata Tetamu
Hotels in banff can be rather expensive. We were glad to be able to secure a booking with the Dorothy Motel. Firstly, check in is done at their sister hotel which is the Banff Caribou Lodge. They will hand you the keys and bus passes. And you actually do get to use any of the lodge’s facilities (we didn’t as we preferred to be outdoors and there were not much time). There’s parking available at the motel which makes it convenient. There are only 2 floors and we chose the one on the ground as we did not want to carry our bags up the stairs. The beds were comfortable. There was a fridge, microwave and TV in the unit. There was also housekeeping. Ice machine was also available. I guess the only slight issue would be location. This is located a sight distance away from the banff town though it is still walkable (15-20 minutes walk). They provide roam bus tickets and the stops are only a couple of minutes walk. The location didn’t bother us that much.

The room was clean with adequate space for our luggage. There were mugs, electric kettle, microwave and a small refrigerator, It had lots of light. When we requested for tea, coffee, towels, and shower caps, someone brought them to us. The location was good as it was next to a convenience store and A&W. There was plenty of parking spaces. They provided a dog bed, dog dish and poop bags for our dog. It was very quiet.

The Dorothy is a gem- it's a bit far from the town centre (one kilometre to White Bark Cafe, for example) but it's a pleasant enough walk and there are other amenities much closer. The hotel is beautiful, with a lovely little courtyard and rooms that are spacious with two queen-sized beds. A tiny fridge, microwave, kettle, and coffeemaker (with coffee!) are all very welcome. Wifi is free and very good. I enjoyed my stay immensely.

Check in process was easy, despite having to check in at another hotel (Caribou Lodge - this was all advised when we booked). Rooms were clean, well maintained and spacious. Safe in the room. Free roam pass for duration of stay was excellent and bus stop just round the corner. Courtyard was nice. Free parking. Very quiet. Use of Caribou Lodge spa. Fridge in room was useful. Comfortable beds and pillow. Gas station/convenience store very useful just across the road.

We had the double queen room, which was ample for my family. The beds were very comfortable and had good support. The room was very clean. We chose this place because of its location. We didn't want to be in the middle of the busy downtown Banff area. The motel gave free bus passes during our 3-day stay. The bus stop is less than 5 minutes from the motel and runs every 15-20 mins. We just took the bus into downtown. It is very convenient, and there is no hassle or stress from driving and trying to find parking. It gets very crowded downtown, and parking is an issue. We also used the same bus to go to Sulphur Mountain to ride the Gandola.

Super comfortable and spacious room. The room comes with a fridge, microwave, kettle and has a little dining table and chairs. The beds were really comfortable. The staff at Caribou were really helpful and friendly, and the cleaning team did a great daily job leaving the room really clean and tidy. Really nice smelling soap in the bathroom! The motel is on the outskirts of the main road in Banff but it’s a 20 minute walk into the centre or park at the train station for free and it’s a 5 minute walk.

One of the best options pricewise too. They have eye for detail, have a kettle with tea and coffee provisions, programmed tv channels you like, the local Rocky Mountains bath products, a ice machine , enough space to park your car and they provide you with enough towels for a couple days. Slept very good in the large bed. More than friendly staff at the Caribou lodge were you may check in and get your free bus pass. Just a 15 minute pleasant walk to downtown or a short and frequent bus ride away with the free pass.

Very recent renovations. Wonderful interior room appointments with comfy beds and excellent HVAC. Free bus pass and close to bus stop to downtown and Gondola. Upper floor room has very high ceiling. Nice shower. Nice balcony looking to inner courtyard that had lots of attractive flowers and other plants.

Everything. It looked like whoever designed and furnished the room thought of every little detail. The location was nice, not too far from the attractions but far enough to shield us from the noise and chaos of the main street. It also had a little yard in the middle of the property which was really nice. The “Dorothy” mugs were a hit and even the lemongrass-ginger hand soap too! Also, the lighting in the room was fabulous - lights for reading, overhead light which was dimmable and here is the kicker - lights underneath the beds for added ambiance. Also the room had double curtains for daylight and nighttime. Overall, pretty amazing. Would definitely stay again.
