Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Crossing enjoys a fantastic location between Banff and Jasper on the Icefields Parkway, making it a convenient stop with beautiful views, especially from the pub's porch. Guests appreciate amenities like WiFi, in-room coffee makers and refrigerators, and the convenience of having a gas station, store, and laundry facilities on site. The pub is a popular spot, offering a do-it-yourself barbeque and a cozy atmosphere. Some have found the prices at the general store and gas bar to be quite high, but overall, many find the location and facilities very practical for their travels.

All the staff members were friendly and helpful!!! When I found a small issue in my initial room, they immediately moved me to another. I returned the next evening for the all-you-can-eat buffet. The food was AMAZING!!! I enjoyed the pub terrace with its mountain views.
The room was a bit dark. It needed more light.
