Fun and affordable for a Family of 5

Reviewed Dec 24, 2022
We enjoyed our stay! Comfy beds, a nice breakfast, and lots of fun in the pool! The waterslide was fast and great entertainment for our three boys.

We had a carsick child when we arrived and the staff were so incredibly helpful, providing me with some cleaning rags and supplies. They were friendly and compassionate. It was nice to be able to use laundry facilities as well.

Thank you, Pocaterra Inn, for giving our family an affordable and fun pre-christmas getaway!

This hotel seemed to be really nice & decent. The room we were in was beautifully & tastefully decorated. I was really impressed with all the lighting options in the room too. Free fresh cookies in the hotel lobby upon check-in. A pool & a hot tub available. Free hot breakfast buffet included in the morning. However, when I went to the washroom, there was this shockingly cheap one-ply toilet paper, that was so thin, it was like tissue paper & it was see-through (see pic). The toilet paper was very rough & we could see wood chips in it. It was like barn door toilet paper. Whoever orders supplies for this hotel - please do not cheap out on the toilet paper, as that one tiny detail can cheapen the entire experience for your guests. I know you probably think you are saving the hotel money, but you will end up losing the hotel money in the long run, with unfavorable reviews, and less bookings. The beds were comfortable, but definitely not queen sized, even though the standard room advertises that there are two queens in there. I have a queen size, I am aware of the size, and the beds in our room were definitely double beds (see pic). It was nice to have hot brunch in the morning included in the price. We arrived for brunch just after 9 am, but sadly some of the food was cold. They had scrambled eggs & sausages, which were nice & hot. But the hash browns & waffles were cold, so that was a little disappointing, despite everything else being good. Lots of coffee, a variety of juice, toast, mini muffins, refrigerated fruit & yogurt, cereal, etc. Also, the staff working in the brunch room were very attentive & provided excellent service. I would have given this rating a 5 out of 5, but the hotel lost a couple of starts in my mind, over the appallingly cheap toilet paper, and the couple of breakfast items that were cold. Also, odd that they would not advertise the room as having 2 doubles, instead of 2 queens. I would stay here again, but I would sure hope they have better toilet paper next time. If they still have this shockingly cheap toilet paper on our next visit, we will not be returning to this hotel.

We arrived at the hotel in the morning, we planned to leave our luggage in storage and go for a walk. We were greeted by a smiling and kind reception representative, one of whom speaks Spanish. They were happy to inform us that our room is ready. We received detailed explanations about the hotel and its facilities.
The room we got was large, clean, spacious, a small balcony towards the mountain view.
The room has two very comfortable large beds. Spacious bathroom. There is air conditioning (we mainly used the cooler). There is a fridge.
The hotel has a pool with a water slide, we didn't get to use it. There is a small gym (it wasn't enough for our son so he went to a city gym). There is ample parking, free for hotel guests.
Buffet breakfast, a selection of things ranging from cornflakes to Belgian waffles, we did not find a similar meal in other hotels we stayed at on this trip.
The hotel is at the edge of the town, towards the exit to Banff, convenient for going on trips, if you don't have a car it is less convenient in terms of access to the center.
In front of the hotel there is a shop where you can rent bicycles.
In short, we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and highly recommend it.

We were happy with our choice to stay at the Pocaterra. Front desk staff were friendly, room was clean and cozy, the pool and got tub area seemed clean and well maintained. My only complaint, and it’s really not a huge deal, was that the blanket on the bed was quite thin and light, and the hair dryer didn’t work too well. Still really enjoyed our stay though!

Room tip: The fireplace in the King Suite was quite nice.

The hotel was cute and clean! The staff we encountered were friendly and kind, the pool looked nice but we didn’t get a chance to go swimming unfortunately. The hotel buffet was mediocre for the nightly rate. We booked a double queen room with a mountain view, it was at the back of the hotel and was pretty quiet. The only complaints I have are minor, like our door wouldn’t close properly so we had to slam it every time we came in and out of the room. Then the issue we had was with the guest laundry, when I booked the pocaterra part of the reason I booked it is because it advertised guest laundry. When we got back to the hotel I started two loads of laundry (there’s two washers and two dryers) it didn’t seem busy with only one dryer running. However that was only the beginning.. their dryers need some serious TLC/repair because we had to run one load of laundry 3 times (at 50 minute cycles for 1.25 a LO cycle). For our laundry not to come out dry. My husband came back to our hotel room at 11pm and we had to quietly hang clothes anywhere we could in hopes they’d dry for the morning. This caused us to have to slam the door closed as for the issue mentioned above which woke up our 1 year old.. I’m not sure if I’d stay here again.

Thanks for your review and valued feedback. I am sorry to hear that you had issues with the dryers in our guest laundry. We have not received any similar complaints, but I do hope that you spoke with our friendly front desk team as I am sure they would have been able to help.
