If people are here specifically for Banff, I don't know if a train ticket with a cheap hotel is going to sway them unless they had already planned to stay the night here.

A crappy hotel room in Banff will cost you about $400 a night. A very nice room in Calgary is about $150. Calgary also has much better options for dining, nightlife and shopping than Banff. If you're a casual visitor that wants to just check out Banff for a day or two, staying in Calgary is a very attractive option.
If you're into serious hiking or skiing at the crack of dawn every morning, then no, this service isn't going to change your mind. However, I don't think Banff is the best place out there if that's what you're after.
