We arrived late in the morning as our flight was delayed from Toronto. We went out with family and went to Calgary tower in evening. We were given a nice corner room. It is very. Central for train station. Nice breakfast and staff. We would go back again

It was a nice, clean hotel. The staff was friendly, especially the weekday mornings shuttle driver. They had a restaurant inside called Moxies and there was a steakhouse across the parking lot. Gave me the option to pay in USD or CAD with my credit card.

Comfortable hotel, efficient friendly staff. Room view for us was poor but it was a stopover for two nights and didn’t spend much time in the rooms. All pretty standard.

Second time I’ve stayed there and would recommend. Calgary International is only 20-30mins away which is why we chose this hotel. Read less

Pillows were fantastic & the bed was quite comfortable. Very clean room. Staff accommodated things I needed. I enjoyed my 4 night stay here, the room was quite nice. Very helpful right across from the LRT. Though you could hear the trains running all night & day. It was a bit difficult to sleep the first night as the sound of the trains kept waking me up. I made sure window was shut tight etc., but I could still hear the trains running. 2nd night a little bit better at getting use to the train sounds, 3rd night okay sleep, though I was getting really tired by now so unsure if that is why I slept better. I was happy with the location & all the amenities around us; pharmacy, Tim Horton's, Macdonald's, across the street,. A liquor store just down the block. Just a couple of blocks was even a grocery store to pick up a few extra supplies, (prices were okay there too). Reasonably priced hotel, for a downtown location. Read less

Well, first of all the pictures are quite deceiving. It makes it look like the room is bigger and it’s really small considering how much they charge you freezing water in the showers. Pool area filthy an air conditioner that kept us up half the night and gave my poor husband, a headache, super disappointed don’t waste your money
