great location down town

it was a nice hotel with great access to the rail. The prices for the food and drink was very expensive a breakfast for 2 was 36 cad. The staff were helpful and advised us where to go to eat.

Calgary Fun

I don't even know where to start. If you are driving anything bigger than a car then you will have parking problems. The hotel is outdated, AC was barely working. The Breakfast Food was just food, waited a long time for it and had to ask twice for some tea. The Location is good if you are using public transportation. I will not stay there again.

Plain and simple

Lobby is nice, staff was nice, rooms were pretty clean, by no means am I a picky person, but I enjoyed the simplicity of the room which featured a desk, a coffee table, a dresser with a decent sized tv on top, and a clean looking bathroom. Pool and workout room was nice to have. 20-30 second walk to the c-train. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here.

Theft, theft, theft!!

Within the first few hours of our checking in to this Hotel, our room was robbed of all of our cash, a substantial amount. The Mngrs. and staff were quite fllippant about it when we filled out a report. It would seem to be an inside job, quite professional, possibly two or three people, as I stepped out for just a few minutes to get ice. Bad start to a supposedly good week end get away. Would not recomend this hotel. The doors do not shut correctly, they have to be slammed, the air conditioning in second room did not work. The theft made the trip a total disaster.

Less Than Expected

I wasn't expecting much but this hotel was fell short in many areas, Elevators were dirty, room service was terrible (cold food and stained serviceware) Room was as expected but late night noise was a bother. Will look for another hotel on my return to Calgary.
