Great place and only a 15 minute walk to downtown. The decor was really nice and the rooms were clean, and regularly serviced. We had an upstairs room which was quiet and received plenty of light. It also had a small balcony which we could sit on for a coffee in the morning....or a beer in the evening. The location is nice, set back from the main road but only a minute walk to the nearest bus stop. Being that it is operated by the nearby Caribou Lodge all queries go through them. It also means that you can use their amenities such as laundry and hot pool. If we go back to Banff we would definitely try to book into the Dorothy.

This amazing little motel is the best value for your money in Banff, no question. Rooms are totally renovated in a cute, modern, style - the bed was comfy, the bathroom floor was heated (!), and had an amazing view of the sunrise over the mountains. The cleaning service came and made up our room each day for us, something I was not expecting in a motel. The courtyard in the center is quiet and peaceful, a bit removed from the road, and there is a vending machine, ice machine, and a whole gas station with an extensive convenience store/grocery market across the way. The local soap products in the bathrooms smell fresh and amazing. The room has a mini-fridge, a coffee maker, and a water boiler. There are adorable orange ceramic branded mugs that you get to take home at the end of your stay! We were able to store our luggage the day we arrived and the day we left (for 6+ hours each time) for free at the Caribou Lodge sister hotel down the road - this saved us paying for luggage storage. They also provided us with a free bus pass for each of us for the 3 days of our stay, saving us so much money! The bus lines run right at the end of the road from the Dorothy and take you anywhere you could want to go - we skipped renting a car and highly recommend it! No sitting in traffic for us! If we had wanted, you have all the amenities of the Caribou Lodge just a few minutes down the road. For the cost savings of a teeny bit of a walk further than the Caribou Lodge, The Dorothy is amazing value.

Loved this place! Booked it just as the cheapest I could find in Banff because we just needed a one night stay, but was so happy with it! Check in was a breeze, they provide a Roam bus pass for everyone in your room, super dog friendly (had several bowls and dog bed all ready for our arrival), as many have mentioned the mug you get! You can tell the motel is well thought out with it's amenities. Actually wish we were staying longer. Highly recommend this place!

I enjoyed my stay at the motel. It was renovated and a great price . However the floors in the room were disgusting and sticky. I found a shoe under my bed and there was a stain on the wall. The attention to detail for cleaning could use a major improvement. Now the positives: they allow dogs, newly renovated and the beds were comfy. One night my puppy decided to piss on my pillow. I called room service and offered to pick up new sheets. Drove to the satellite hotel. The guy who was on that night forgot about me. Kept me waiting for an hour plus. Will I stay here again ? Yeah. But I hope they improve on cleaning and attention to detail. This motel is beside a gas station and an a & w. So it’s very close to snacks. The motel has many board games you can borrow for your stay as well. It’s very close to the dog park and doggy daycare just in case you bring your doggy on vacay. The court yard is beautiful and has seating. My only suggestion is a bbq rental.

Best hotel/motel I've ever stayed in! Really beautiful, full of personality, vibrant, and big. I can't believe it's only rated a 2 star hotel officially. There's a courtyard, and nice balconies as well. I don't think I'll ever find another hotel as good as this one. Also, a nice touch with the complimentary mugs! Really feels like the owners of this place care about the people staying here. :)
