Guest Reviews
- TransitionEnergy (7/5): -
- Whyte-Maggipinto (9/5): - The room was very big and spacious, and you could smell the new carpets The A/C made a lot of noise and the toilet didnt work all the time
- Cherry (9/5): - great location, comfortable, great breakfast
- Jennifer (7/5): -
- John (8/5): Thank you team - Tremendously helpful staff
- Dubois (9/5): Nice hotel will come back again. - The room was very nice and big. There were no robes in the jacuzzi suite room and not enough towels, it took a long time to get towels brought. Would be nice to be able to go onto the balcony as well.
- Yi (7/5): -
- Clemens (8/5): Sehr gut für privat und geschäftlich - Gute Lage, Parkplatz, nettes Personal
- R (8/5): -
- Safa (5/5): Je n'y reviendrai pas - Personnel aimable C'est le pire Best Western où j'ai séjourné. Emplacement un peu loin du centre ville (30min), manque de rénovation, vieux meublée, vielle moquette, rideaux déchirés dans la chambre et cuisine pas équipée dans les studios.
Petit déjeuner pauvre
- Jamie (10/5): It was clean, quiet and very comfortable. - The hotel was very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was so good and tasty and had a wonderful selection of fresh food and delicious hot coffee. I loved how it alternated different items daily. The housekeeping staff didn’t clean the room properly. The garbage was not collected and the coffee was not restocked. I had to complain to the front desk.
- Thomas Mcalister (8/5): -
- Lai (8/5): Good value. Would stay there again in the future if we were looking for value and convenience. - Rooms are large. Ours had a kitchenette which was convenient for prepping food. The free breakfast was decent. Location was good for going visiting Stampede park. The toilet didn’t flash well. You had to hold down the handle for a while for it to flash properly. It also splashes a lot if you flash while you’re on it. One of the elevators wasn’t working so it was a bit of a wait to go up and down. Even the working elevator was a bit finicky. Our shower has a leak from the ceiling. The room card keeps deactivating.
- Katrina (9/5): Highly recommended - The property is clean, every floor, hotel provides ice dispenser for the guest…food is good. Great experience No.
- Kellie (10/5): -
- Sylvia (8/5): -
- Denise (10/5): -
- Rowan (8/5): - Good location, very comfy beds The fire alarm falsely going off for 20 mins
- Jasmine (9/5): Great stay! - Great, simple, and friendly. Breakfast quality seemed to vary depending on the day, time, and amount of people, but the waffles were consistently yummy!
- Jerson (10/5): Highly Recommended - yes very convenient…the place is clean and staff friendly..water accesible and ice cubes every floor none
- Stephen (7/5): - The hotel kindly accommodated an early check-in at 12pm (instead of the standard 4pm), which we truly appreciated after a long journey A bit far from the city centre.
- Athaulla Basha (8/5): - Everything was good, it just that we dint get the $50/- gift voucher, because we dint book the reservation through their own website , we went through booking.com , otherwise we would have got that $ 50/- voucher
- Jade (8/5): - Good location, spacious rooms and complementary breakfast was good ! Our only problem was the member of staff on check in automatically upgraded us to 2 beds without asking if this was desired. We are a lesbian couple and although this was well intentioned it puts us in an uncomfortable environment.
- Susan (8/5): - The room was large and clean The street side was very noisy as was the ac/heating unit
- Natacha Skov (10/5): - Dejligt med parkering i kælderen.
- Peter (9/5): - I'd like to have a little more at the gym rather than just free weights
- Fred (8/5): Votre hôtel a fait parti de mon séjour réussi - Emplacement propreté Pas de remarques
- Sangeeta (8/5): -
- Melisa (10/5): -
- Melissa (9/5): -
- Todd (9/5): - No complaints. Good price, nice staff and was a good place to stay. N/A
- Kai (5/5): -
- Jashanjot (10/5): -
- Connor (8/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): - La cama
- Candelaria (8/5): Good - Breakfast is good and the location is so close to my appointment. I don't like the noise of the heater and I can hear the noise outside.
- Xianfeng (8/5): Good - good There is an alarm at around 6:00 am.
- Anastasiia (9/5): -
- Eva (7/5): Great location needs improvement for the value - The location was great the bed was comfy and clean the breakfast was good The front staff were not very friendly. The building is run down and the washrooms need renovations
- SUNITHA (8/5): - Breakfast buffet and its a prime location near to safeway in Calgary downtown If you stay for couple of days then the housekeeping is delayed. They give preference only to the daily check out rooms. You have to keep asking the front desk for the house keeping request.
- MARYNA (10/5): -
- Caroline (6/5): Only there for 1 night so not enough time to comment on location. - Fairly basic room and facilities. Little choice for breakfast.
- Ann (8/5): - Besides being in the city centre it was very quiet.
Staff was very friendly.
Bed was super comfortable. The blackout curtains and the absence of nice drapes gave it a bit of a shabby appearance, which is a shame because it was a very nice suite.
- Chelsea (5/5): -
- Sara (1/5): Will not be staying at this location again - The heated toilet seat The elevators weren’t working and we had no notice. The front desk was rude upon arrival and was very short with everything I had to say. We had no one offer to help us with our luggage when it was apparent I was injured.
- Abel (8/5): Custo beneficio no centro de Calgary - Localizacao e quarto espaçoso. Café da manha acima do esperado No ultimo dia a pane nos elevadores estragou um pouco a experiencia.
- Avery (10/5): - The location
- Cinzia (10/5): - Comfort. Silence. Spacious rooms. Cleanliness.
- Norman (7/5): -
- Trey (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): Thanks to the staff! - Staff were friendly, room was spacious. I didn't like the breakfast, not much options.
- Andy (7/5): Short but interesting. - Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was ok. Basic but only paid £7 for it so it matched expectations. Calgary in general had a shabby feel to it, that said, I’d just come from Tokyo so it was a big culture change. Lots of social issues very visible but the people we spoke to were lovely and I imagine a longer stay would let me see the best of the city Hotel was basic, neighbourhood was quite shabby and lots of visible social issues, homelessness and drug use.
- Simon (9/5): -
- Sally-ann (9/5): Great location with a full breakfast included. Suited 6 adults great - Great location close to restaurants
Awesome breakfast inclusion
Great staff
- Calvin Joseph (Joe) (9/5): -
- Susan (10/5): We only stayed one night. Would definitely stay here again. - Location, had everything we needed. Staff were very friendly. Room was spacious and clean. No complaints
- Brett (7/5): -
- Jonathan (9/5): -
- Gulshan (10/5): Value for money - Breakfast N/A
- paul (8/5): -
- Camilo Duque (9/5): - Breakfast was good
- Vitor Thadeu (10/5): Agradabilíssimo. Com ótima localização - Localização espetacular. Próximo a tudo a poucos minutos de caminhada. Quartos bem limpos, amplos e confortáveis
- Jonathan (8/5): - - Great Beltline Location
- Super friendly and helpful staff
- Huge suite - Everything feels a bit dated
- "Kitchen" as advertised was not very functional, cutlery was damaged and sharp in places, bowls were more like very small saucers, etc, etc.
- Dunn (10/5): Great stay, appreciated the staff and the facilities! Will stay again!!! - The staff were beyond kind and accommodating. Being NYE weekend it was VERY busy and they handled every customer with kindness, understanding, respect and kept cool under pressure. We ordered food to the main desk very late into the night and forgot to grab it, we went down around 6:00AM and the person on desk actually kept our meal in the back room. It was so appreciated - truly the staff made this stay as great as it was!! We will be booking again!! Nothing, the room was a good size, had kitchenette, comfy bed, we could control our thermostat, bathroom in great condition - nothing to complain about.
- Maria (10/5): - Great hotel to stay at
- Alan (7/5): -
- Brayden (5/5): Respectfully will be staying somewhere else next time - Breakfast was okay Paying $21 a night because I used booking.com and not the direct hotel website
- Laura (6/5): - Very pleasant staff, nice hotel just a little dated but overall clean and pleasant experience. AC unit was very loud.
- Tim (8/5): Great value, very friendly and helpful staff. Near 17th Ave SW - great night life. - Was able to check in early - and was given a bigger room!
Housekeeping staff were able to set the clock, and help with the coffee maker - most helpful.
Front desk staff were also very helpful and friendly. Nothing really.
Very happy with the hotel. Although it looked like it was in a very seedy area of Calgary when approached from the north, it is just near 17th Ave SW which is really trendy. They should put that in their promo material.
- Jodie (8/5): -
- Uta (9/5): -
- Aisling (5/5): A entirely fine stay for the price. - Staff couldn't have been more helpful and the carpark was safe and secure. Bathroom was clean and soap was nice. Room was dingy, lamps broken/tattered and a musty smell in the room. The building is in need of an exterior update.
- Edith (7/5): -
- Adam (5/5): Clean and in a good location, but there are some issues. - The continental breakfast is plentiful, and the location provides an easy walk to both downtown and the shops on 17th Ave.
There are numerous restaurants for all budgets, all tastes, in close proximity and a convenience store directly across the street. The toilet in our room clogged, and it took two trips to the front desk and almost two hours to have it addressed. In order to rectify the issue, the staff provided a plunger. Delivered to the room. For us, the paying guests, to unclog the toilet. Yes, it was a quick 30 second fix; no, it should not have been incumbent on a guest to do so. The plunger was left in the room with us.
There is an extremely long wait for elevators in the mornings; rather than dedicate one elevator for staff and one for guests, both elevators were in use by the housekeeping staff with large carts of cleaning supplies. At the same time guests with luggage were in the process of checking out. After waiting 10+ minutes for an elevator, we noticed a number of guests simply giving up and using the stairs (the stairs were not an option for seniors with rooms on the 5th and 6th floors).
Parking should be included in the room cost, not an additional charge of $20+ per day.
- Laura (5/5): Suitable for our short stay in Calgary - Good location and rooms were okay. Had difficulties with staff - we were told we hadn’t paid when checking into the property even though we had. We were then assured that this would be refunded at the end of our stay. After reminding the front desk multiple times of our situation we were still overcharged after the conclusion of our stay, including the holding fee. We have now begun contacting the hotel to try and get this sorted. Just an issue that could have been avoided at multiple steps along the way, that we have continually had to push to be rectified.
- Adunni (6/5): Could be better - Clean rooms, nice location
Good wifi Poor reception staff
Monotonous breakfast
- Fitz Gerald (10/5): -
- Irene (7/5): -
- Yvonne (9/5): - The staff were lovely. Diana at the Front Desk was particularly helpful and accommodating. There were a lot of renovations happening during my stay.
- Barry (7/5): -
- Lisa (6/5): Not the nicest hotel but value for money. - Clean room Property is tired and needs attention.
- Bobby P (6/5): -
- Bruce (7/5): -
- Eshido (9/5): Am okay with the facility - Am very happy with the staff, the ambiance and the breakfast was good. Paying for packing of my vehicle
- Buddy (9/5): -
- Marie Josee (8/5): Very good value, great location - Location, staff service, good breakfast, good value We rented a suite and the kitchen amenities could improvement.
- Keryn (5/5): -
- Julie (9/5): -
- Tattiana (10/5): - Todo me gustó Todo me gustó
- Nishaliya (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): Will stay here again! - Excellent Customer service. Incredibly clean hotel.
- Rachel (9/5): Very comfortable room at a good price, and accommodating staff - Our room was ready hours before check in, and we were upgraded at no extra cost. Only one lift was working, and was always in use by house-keeping, with no apparent stairs as an alternative (which we would have taken, even at the 8th floor). We had to wait up to 15 minutes to get out at times.
It would have been good to have standard allergies advertised at the breakfast options.
