Recently spent a night at the Mount Royal Hotel. The location is fantastic. There are multiple restaurants, pubs, and shops within a couple of blocks. The room was clean and the staff friendly. The rooftop hot tubs have a great view of the mountains.
If you want to be near the action and don’t mind a little noise I would highly recommend.

The hotel is starting to show signs of use- chipped walls, dust, broken blinds, etc. the bed was comfy- however there were a few stains on the blanket and sheets. There was only one hot tub that was functional for our entire 5 day stay. I will say the rooms are small, and it seems they have to “upgrade” rooms such as suites. The staff are EXCELLENT both times I called the front desk for extra things they were brought to my room within 10 minutes. The location is also a highlight!

We had a lovely staff trip to the Mount Royal! Rooms were clean & comfortable/ updated and the location was fantastic. So many restaurants, shops and local entertainment outside our door. The only thing that was dissapointing was that only 4 people were aloud in the hot tub at a time, when there's clearly enough room for more. We did have a larger group so we all went in shifts but the common area attached made for a great communal space to lounge and enjoy warmth while we waited.
Our group of 15 also enjoyed a team dinner at Brazen and WOW what an experience! Great service, great food, great atmosphere.
