My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, but unfortunately, they were not serviced during our stay, which was disappointing. The location was convenient, right next to an LRT station for easy transportation, but there were cleanliness issues like garbage from previous guests. The service was polite but made errors with our dinner order, taking away from the overall dining experience. The dining options were pricy and not very impressive, although the whole wheat bread rolls were a decent choice.

The hotel had good size beds for my family of four, but there were issues with noisy guests in the middle of the night, and the room was not refreshed even when the clean card was displayed. The location was convenient for accessing downtown and landmarks, but there were occasional noise disturbances. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price.

This hotel has a great location for those visiting Calgary for the Stampede or looking to enjoy downtown partying. However, the rooms were quite run down and lacked maintenance. The service was a mix of friendliness and small errors that affected the overall experience. The location was convenient for downtown proximity but had some noise disturbances. Dining options varied, with some positives and negatives. Rooms felt dirty and outdated but had decent water pressure.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, they were a bit noisy due to the street noise from the tram. The staff provided excellent service, but there was a lack of room servicing during my stay. The location was convenient, especially being right next to the LRT station, but there were some issues with customer service. On the bright side, the dining experience was tasty, although a bit pricy. Overall, it had its ups and downs.

The hotel room was ridiculously loud, poorly ventilated, and uncomfortably hot as the AC did not work. Additionally, the room was not clean and in need of updating, which was not ideal. On the positive side, the staff members, especially the females at the front desk, were helpful and friendly. The location was great for accessing public transportation but did not meet expectations. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some aspects being good while others fell short.
