Fairmount Banff Springs Hotel

The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and overall we had a good time. We only spent our first night here before heading off on our honeymoon. It was a good experience to have however I don't think I would spend that kind of money to spend more than one night.
The room was comfortable and mostly clean but it really wasn't all that different than the rooms in hotels that are half the price. In fact much cheaper rooms have been cleaner. I'm pretty sure our room at the Banff Springs hadn't been totally turned over for our stay. I think they just left the towels & glasses that appeared to have not been used by previous guests. The hair that greeted me on my facecloth grossed me out. And there was dust on some of the glasses.
Also, for the price we paid I would have expected a few more ammenties and/ or discounts for in-house services. Other than the room and access to the pool & fitness area, everything had an additional hefty price attached to it. Also, most of the "cool" features that attract one to stay at the hotel, are open to the public for free. (So why pay to stay there then?)
Parking was $22/ day, to park yourself in a parkade a block away. Or it was $29/ day to have the valet park it for you. Room service was $$$$, plus it had an %18 gratuity already added on to the bill (though they don't tell you that unless you read the fine print of the menu). Bathrobes (so that you don't have to walk WAY across the hotel in just your bathing suit to the pool) were $160!!!
Dinner in the hotel for just the 2 of us cost $150, which included a 3 course meal and 2 drinks. Price aside, it was a verrrrrry good meal.
My advice: Stay only for one night for the novelty of it. Or just stay at a hotel in Banff and crash the Banff Springs and use its facilities since it's open to the general public anyway.
