• Jolene (8/5): -
• Darrel (7/5): Good Enough - Large room and quiet. Close to restaurants and major roads. Room heater worked but could not get a consistent tempetature. Bit noisy when running also. Could not find electric plug in were coffee maker was. Maybe I am blind. Had to move other part of room.

• Marlene (7/5): - Staff very pleasant. Previous guests set alarm clock for 5:30am and left it on. Perhaps it could be something that housekeeping checks when cleaning.

• Nancy Jean (10/5): -
• brian (9/5): - Easy to find. The office was not marked looked just like a door no office sign.We drove around the building looking for the entrance.
• John (6/5): - Expedia website stated microwave and fridge; no microwave and fridge did not work properly. Air conditioner very noisy. Breakfast very basic.

• Terry (8/5): - Had a great stay, will definitely stay again.
• Lynn (6/5): - Old, not attractive decor and not that cheap
• Miles (1/5): Over priced dump, don’t stay here! - It was a misleading picture of the property which was made to look like it was a nice place, so nothing was liked of the over priced and very noisy place. It was dirty noisy and no breakfast it was just snacks but they called it a continental breakfast, the muffins were 2 bite tiny or cereal that was at the very top of the stairs and only 2 tables. It was over priced and room was dirty.
• Valente (10/5): -
• wil (10/5): - Service and rooms are okay but the curb appeal from the outside is not great
• William (2/5): Along with the outside looking abandoned, the bathroom ceiling was repaired by a 5 year old, towel rake hanging off the - Property looked like it was abandoned as weeds were every where
• Tarja (7/5): - Air conditioner did’t work and staff attempted to fix it. They brought in a window conditioner, which had to be vented to the outside…so the window had to be left open. The unit was very loud. We were moved the next morning, and the dog fee was removed from that night. Thank you.
• Brenda (4/5): - Old , beds and pillows not comfortable. Way over priced for the value .
• Carrie (8/5): - Very clean

• Connie (10/5): - The staff were super friendly and helpful!!
• Thomas (4/5): - Not the place it used to be.
• Laurie (8/5): -
• Chelsea (6/5): - Bed was very comfortable, but I was a little shocked that there was no phone, alarm clock or microwave in the room. Front lobby was incredibly smokey smelling, which was off-putting with a toddler in tow.
• Brian (8/5): - The bed sagged to the middle
• Doug (2/5): - For 3 day stay, room not cleaned,after complaint cleaning staff gone. No Microwve,AC system horrible,loud and infiltrates from neighbor rooms. Brkfst minimal. WiFi down 1/2 of visit. Expensive

• Jay (10/5): - Super friendly and helpful staff make you feel like a valued guest !!!
• Bruce (4/5): - Nice staff but way overpriced for the quality of the hotel. Continental breakfast had very limited selection.
• Terry (10/5): - Quick and efficient friendly service for our late check in.. quiet area...Great shower.. Very small continental breakfast but Denny's next door offered discounts to hotel guests...
• Cynthia (10/5): - The Hotel was great except because of so much rain the grass was not cut
• Lise (8/5): Econo Lodge in Okotoks - The guy who checked us in was very nice funny made my stay great explain the continental breakfast said where room was etc.. Our room was spacious, clean beds, comfy beds, and pillows. N
• Tracy (6/5): - Front desk staff was very good. Property has minor upgrades and is reasonably clean but still smells of cigarettes. Price is far too high for this level of property.
• Gus (10/5): - Hotel property outside needed cleaning up weeds ect
• Valerie (8/5): - Situated in the town of Okotoks but a bit too far from Calgary with no public transport links. We used taxis and Uber. We found the nearest C train station Somerset Bridlewood and then we transferred to Uber. Taxi from the Econo Lodge to Calgary was £50. The hotel is close to a cargo train line so there were a few blasts of the whistle early mornings, otherwise the hotel was quiet. The room service only comes in when you request it at reception. Great free breakfasts, cereals, bagels, toast all stocked up regularly. Dennys is across the road which was very handy. Okotoks is a lovely town with some lovely shops and cafes.
• Kevin c (8/5): - If i had to reveiw i would say it is clean but basic living. What i found was the mattress was very hard to sleep on, i dont usually complain but this time i have to. You have to ask for room service like towels. I dont travel that often so i dont know jf that is the norm. All and all fairly good stay.
• Anarose (9/5): - Clean room and staff are professional. When we arrive, a guest was smoking about a meter away from the entrance which did not gave much of a positive impression.
• Kody (4/5): - Room was hot and smelled like smoke
• Wanda (8/5): Do over - Comfy bed, clean. Continental breakfast could use some fresh fruit and muffins.
• Juanita (10/5): Would definitely stay there again. - The room was very clean, comfy bed, had everything we needed. Staff were all very friendly
• Jamil (10/5): - Beds were clean and comfortable
• Gregg (8/5): - I had a pleasant stay, the staff were friendly the room was clean and the property was located close to amenities, I’d definitely stay here again.
• Murray and Carla (6/5): - Mice traps everywhere and rat traps outside not very comforting
• Lise (7/5): Good - It was okay. Would be nice to have some waffles, eggs or fruit. Pretty tiny room to sit. It was clean though and set up nice. Enjoyed a toasted bagel.
• Carol (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the breakfast and breakfast area. The breakfast nook was kept tidy and restocked during breakfast.
• Gregg (10/5): - It was clean comfortable and located with easy access to restaurants, the staff were friendly, I’d stay here again.
• Thomas (10/5): - ?
• Michael (8/5): - Rooms were not cleaned daily only on request. This was not explained at the beginning of the visit. Not a huge issue but garbage and used bath linens should have been changed out.

Our room faced the main road, so it was a bit noisy until later at night, when the traffic died down. The bright light outside our room all night; we are used to complete darkness. Complimentary breakfast is all carbohydrates.

• Graiden (10/5): - Front desk was very helpful and the bed was super comfortable
• Patty (6/5): Pleasant - Location Wifi didn’t work, front end staff was not very welcoming, location was great but traffic quite loud, the bed was right beside the a/c heat vent and when it came on in the night it woke me up numerous times. The couch/bed location should have been swapped
• Daniel (2/5): - Extremely slow check in. Front desk lady smoking outside. Room was very rundown. Broken fan in the bathroom. Stained flooring. A long hair in the “clean sheets”.
