The Moxy Banff is currently the only Marriott property in Banff, AB, Canada, after the departure of the Delta Royal Canadian Lodge several years ago. This property used to be the Voyager Inn, constructed in 1964. The hotel is near the start of Banff Avenue as you're coming into town, so it's a bit of a walk to the main tourist areas. But, it's nice to have an option in Banff, again!

I stayed one night for the Made with Love: Banff Food and Cocktail Festival. Moxy Banff was a participating vendor.




The property is very nicely renovated. The large indoor space houses the check-in desk and bar, with plenty of seats and fireplaces to relax at. There's Jenga, chess, and an electronic hockey game around. The hotel is currently featuring live music on Saturday nights. The two-player arcade gaming table was broken.






In one corner is a VW “food truck”, which was really just a fancy counter to the kitchen behind it. I also saw a meeting room and a fully equipped bike room. I'm guessing the bikes can be borrowed?







We stayed in a Guest room, 1 King, Mountain view, Balcony. The balcony faced the inner courtyard with the pool and hot tub. Room was small, but nicely decorated and functional.

The one thing that really annoyed us was the temperature control. The heater only ran when there's motion, leading to a rather chilly night. The room would warm up every time someone got up and triggered the motion sensor. But, the room would cool down again while we were asleep.







Room upgrade and late check-out were both denied. The check-in person said they were 89% occupied for the night. Overall, it was fine for a one-night stay. I'd stay again if the rate's decent!
