Best Western Cranbrook Hotel

It was nice to have two bathrooms, especially when getting started in the mornings. The staff were quick to drop what they were doing whenever you approached the desk with a question and were always very helpful and informative.

I was expecting to be able to enjoy a nice dinner in the restaurant without having to deal with winter driving in Alberta, but they only offered Breakfast and Lunch service. The local tap water wasn't very appealing, but here's a tip; if you visit the fitness facilities with a container, you can get filtered water which was just just fine!

- cleanliness - kitchenette was well appointed - spacious room - really lovely and accomodating staff

Note: as a design conscious Millennial on a ski trip I’m not sure I’m the target market for Best Western. With this in mind, here we’re my concerns with this hotel: - the room design lacked any type of personality and the feng shui was off. It was very 90’s and corporate feeling. For instance, the room gave the impression that it was just one of thousands of rooms that Best Western designed in 1993 to meet the needs of low-fuss travellers who want a reliable, comfortable and convenient experience with a hotel chain they trust. Which is totally okay, and exactly what we got, but it just wasn’t for us. I suppose I should have expected this before booking; my bad. - the location is on a major highway - I knew this when I booked the room, and the hotel staff were happy to accommodate our request for a room further away from the road, but our view was still of train tracks and a major road. - the bed was large, but it was nearing the end of its life and wasn’t that comfy - I’d give it 2 out of 5 stars - having now stayed at 6 different hotels on this trip, I feel like we didn’t necessarily get great value for money. I think we paid a premium for the brand name. Overall, the hotel certainly delivered what it promised, it just wasn’t really for us.

Good parking for truck and trailer

Nice staff
