Joys Inn

I have two extra large dogs, and they've been accepted here. Between the safe, secure feel and the excellent staff, from the manager to the front desk and Lillian the housekeeper, this really feels like home away from home. I've stayed at Joys on and off for six years, and this past year I went long term. Whether for a weekend or by the month, I couldn't ask for a better experience. The kitchenette has everything needed for cooking and saves me a lot of money. There's also a fully equipped community kitchen, laundry in the building, and a gym. Korbin at the front desk is happy to help with the gym facilities without judgment. If you need a clean, welcoming, safe place to stay, Joys Inn is it. The management has made us feel at home.

The staff were great and the place was very clean. It was nice that nobody asked me for money, smokes, or a ride every time I left my room.

For my husband and me, this was a great fit for location and price while we visited Banff. Driving to Lake Louise took around two hours, which was no problem. We stayed over Labour day weekend in a clean room with a big fridge, and the staff were nice. We travel with our cat, and pets are welcome with no charge. Most rooms, especially on the first floor, seemed to be occupied by people renting monthly, I guess, but it didn't cause us any problems. We enjoyed the stay so much that we booked the same room for the long Christmas weekend.

I stayed for two months while taking a course. The prices were reasonable, and it was much cleaner than the other two places I looked at, Bluebird and Travel Inn n suites. The staff were amazing, friendly, and helpful, and dealt with the small issues quickly. I'd recommend it if you want somewhere clean, affordable, and pet friendly.
