The hotel is conveniently located in central south Calgary with good access to key areas and public transport, making it easy for us to visit family at a nearby senior living facility. Although the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, the strong smell of deodorizer trying to mask tobacco smoke was off-putting.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with extra amenities like a couch, easy chair, and good lighting. However, the strong deodorizer scent trying to cover stale tobacco smoke was a downside.

The hotel offered us a choice of rooms, but service seemed stretched thin for tasks like check-outs and breakfast. There was a considerable delay in cleaning rooms on our floor during the day.

The hotel's central south Calgary location provided convenient access to where we needed to go and was close to public transport options like the C-Train. However, the surroundings were a bit messy, and there were nearby shopping centers.

The hotel had a convenient location in south Calgary with easy access to our destinations, but the room we were allocated was noisy as it was next to the elevator and had a musty smell. The staff were friendly and helpful, but at times overwhelmed with tasks. The dining options were decent, especially the fresh fruit in the morning. However, some room features, like the malfunctioning clock, were disappointing.

The room we stayed in was right next to the elevator, making it noisy with constant traffic. It also had a musty smell, which was not pleasant. The malfunctioning chair and clock were also inconvenient.

The staff were friendly and helpful, though it was noticeable that they were very busy, especially at reception. This led to some lapses in communication and certain procedures not being followed smoothly.

The location was central in south Calgary, offering good access to our destinations. It was convenient for our needs and close to the C-Train station, which was a plus despite some nearby stores being a bit of a distance.
Dining

The dining experience was satisfactory, especially with the fresh fruit in the morning. However, it was not exceptional, and there was room for improvement in the variety of offerings.

The hotel is conveniently located near family and friends, offering easy access to shopping and sports activities. The rooms were clean, quiet, and ideal for our family, but could benefit from a deeper clean in some areas. The service was lackluster with dismissive staff who were hard to find when needed. The location was great for both local stores and major access routes, although the dining options were limited. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in service and cleanliness.
