Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests appreciate the Red Carpet Inn's convenient location and proximity to Banff Avenue, making it easy to enjoy the town. The recently renovated rooms often feature a cozy, cabin-like vibe and are considered spacious, with amenities like a fridge and microwave for having breakfast in the room. Some guests have mentioned that the corridors feel a bit aged compared to the updated rooms. A perk is the access to Irwin's Mountain Inn's gym, hot tub, and sauna next door. Guests also highlight the underground parkade for convenient parking and the mountain views available from some rooms.

Acceptable stay

queen bedshuttle stophelpful staffloud air conditionerdisinterested receptionistlow adjustment
The room had two queen beds and a bathroom. I noticed a sunshine village shuttle stop was nearby. The location was close to town conveniences. The staff seemed helpful.
The air conditioner was loud. I could not adjust it to low. I had to turn it off to sleep. The receptionist seemed disinterested in us when we checked in.

awesome experience!

cozy cabinfriendly staffgreat locationpoor sound insulation
i was super impressed with the room updates and the cozy cabin vibe! it felt very clean plus the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. the location is excellent and i felt the price matched the value perfectly, especially considering i used the room mainly for sleeping after hitting the slopes.
Sound insulation was a problem. I could clearly hear noise from the stairs and people walking by. it got pretty disturbing late at night, as if there wasn't really a wall there! i wish it was fixed.
