Overview

The Red Carpet Inn is Banff's no-nonsense budget option — offering some of the lowest nightly rates in a town where accommodation is notoriously expensive. Don't expect luxury; do expect a clean room, a hot shower, and a location on Banff Avenue that puts you within walking distance of everything. This inn is a favourite with hikers, backpackers, and road-trippers who'd rather spend on lift tickets and trail snacks than a fancy hotel room. It's honest, affordable, and gets the job done.
