The Dorothy Motel – A Favorite for Families in Banff

The Dorothy Motel offers complimentary ROAM bus passes for all guests, providing easy access to Banffs attractions and reducing the need for a car. Guests have access to the hot pools and sauna at the sister properties, including the rooftop pools at Hotel Canoe and Hotel Otter. The motel also provides a picnic area and outdoor furniture, along with daily housekeeping service.

Each of the 42 air-conditioned rooms includes a microwave, mini-refrigerator, and a pour-over coffee setup with locally roasted beans. Bathrooms are stocked with gourmet bath products from Rocky Mountain Soap Company. Rooms on the second floor offer vaulted ceilings and larger bathrooms or showers.

The Dorothy Motel offers pet-friendly accommodations with specific services including a pet bed, pet bowls, and poop bags provided in the room. There is a pet-friendly policy for select rooms, with a pet fee that is less than at most bordering properties. Pet baskets and bowls are available upon request.

The motel is located 1.9 km from Banff Park Museum and The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, and 3.7 km from Cave and Basin National Historic Site. A 24-hour Co-op convenience store and A&W are adjacent to the property, and a bus stop is right outside. The motel backs onto forest where elk are frequently seen grazing.
