Came to Calgary to attend the annual Stampede, and was pleased with the accommodation. Good location, with dining options within easy walking distance, as well as access to transport options. Great breakfast and super staff. Elevators could use a bit of a refurb, but I believe this is in hand. Guest laundry room was out of action, which was a pity , but found a laundromat a short bus ride away. Good value, considering the prices being charged elsewhere in Calgary during Stampede.

Absolutely no where on the site does it state parking is first come or limited, it stated Vala parking available. I flew into Calgary tired and hungry Thursday night. Get to the hotel and I have a larger SUV so very gingerly maneuvered to the bottom of parking lot to be told they are full; first come first serve. No sign at top to say full so I didnt have to waste my time getting down and back up. I am not familiar with downtown Calgary so I had to find a public parking lot a few blocks away. That parking lot would only allow me to book until 6am so I had to set an alarm to be up and reload parking . You needed an app which I had issues loading and the whole experience was a nightmare. By the time I checked in and got to my room it was almost 11pm, too late to eat. The room was out dated with smelly carpet, I could tell someone smoked in their before. No AC so it was warm, bed not very comfortable for the little sleep I got. Staff did not care at all about my concerns, completely brushed off. I will never stay here again and would not have staid here if I would have known about the limited parking. Very disappointed in the whole experience that only made my stay more stressful.

Hotel is old and worn down. Half the power in our room didn’t work. Power bar had to be replaced. Toilet over flowed and took a few hours to address. We tried to use the pool but it was littered with floating beer cans when we did. Parking lot was already full several hours before check in. Lot next door was a scam - issued $100 ticket even though I paid a valid rate. The very young staff at the hotel (didn’t see anyone older than early 20s) is nice and trying hard but under qualified. Can’t recommend this hotel for families. Probably a great spot for young people looking to party.

Confusion about breakfast included and it was only included for 1 of 4 days. No fridge in the room, you have to ask for it but I only found out about this the final day. Front desk was not helpful when asking about options to get to the airport.
Can't control temp although it appears you can. I found nights to be very warm in June. If you are there later, I can't imagine how warm it would be in the room.
Balcony is nice, but only 2 plastic chairs for seating.
Location is good with access to shopping and restaurants.
Cleaning staff were amazing! Very helpful to get things like extra coffee pods and cups. Older hotel room but it was clean all things considered.

I checked out early and they tried to not give me back my deposit. I will not recommend it. Dirty stains in hallways carpets. Window curtains wrinkle. Building needs upgrades and painting. Though the view was descent I could bring myself to turn on the lights or open the curtains because the pain wore off and the windows were dirty

Stayed here for a night in the city. Overall the location is great, nice and close to walkable stores and restaurants. The building has a 70’s flair to the outside which is nice to see in a world of grey. Staff were very helpful and sweet. I just feel for what they are charging there are some really small things they can change. Our room had something cracked and gross looking on the ceiling. Not a big deal but could have been fixed. The white shears behind the curtains needed to be thrown out years ago and replaced. They seem to be updating the hotel but I think they miss those little details that go a long way. DO NOT pay for the breakfast they offer - almost $20 a person for what you would find in most other hotels as complimentary. Take your money to a breakfast place nearby. Valet parking was nice and the cost was reasonable. Overall it was a great time but seeing as I’m middle aged now I have to write these reviews.

The overall condition of the property was extremely poor, especially for the price point. The room had a damp odor and the furnishings we're badly damaged and falling apart, I have seen better beside tables left on the curb. The room looked like it hasn't been updated since the late 90s, the air-conditioner didn't work and made a low hissing noise constantly. There were tiles missing in the bathroom, the laminate was peeling off multiple surfaces and the shower was very low, I had to duck to get under it. We called and asked if we could be switched to a more modern room and were told \"All the rooms look the same!\" The worst hotel I have stayed in.

If you like your bathrooms the size of an airline lavatory, you’re in luck. We’ve stayed here twice in the last year and both times our bathrooms were shockingly tiny compared to the size of the rest of the room. Like — you have to squeeze out of the way just to close the door — tiny. The beds are fairly comfy and the room itself felt spacious, on the other hand, which is what made the tiny bathrooms so incongruous. The air conditioning controls are old-timey and we couldn’t quite figure them out on either visit, but luckily the temperatures overall did not require cooling. The shower in our most recent room had a bizarre issue in that it seemed to have been plumbed backwards. There was no cold water at all. Your choices were piping hot (at the “cold” position) or pleasantly warm (at the “hot” position). We mentioned this in our checkout but who knows if it will be repaired. So be forewarned to check the temperature before you pull that shower diverter and hop in! We also normally expect rooms to have at least some sort of glassware — tumblers for a drink for example, or even a wine glass or two. Ours had nothing except a couple of styrofoam cups for the coffee maker. That seemed odd to us as well for a higher-end hotel. Overall, the location is great with restaurants nearby and easy parking. Downtown can be a bit noisy at times, but the windows are well insulated. Breakfast — if included in your rate — is quite nice.

The location was convenient, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing.

They also had no portable heaters available and only offered an extra blanket. I had to sleep wearing my coat and jacket all night because I was freezing.

I’m disabled and I was looking forward to the valet parking. When we arrived it was full, which can’t be helped. The front desk staff suggested the parkade next door and showed me on his computer the exact location. What he neglected to mention before I parked is that you can only park until 5:59 am. It was really horrible to have to wake up that early to move my car somewhere else with my condition. The front desk staff let me park in the surprisingly empty Ramada parkade for an hour. When we checked out an hour later the new day staff tried to charge me a full day parking. As well the water in the coffee machine was moldy. Brown smears on the wallpaper in bathroom. A group of kids were screaming at the hotel pool playing lacrosse all night, the patrons on our floor were loud all night, and the front desk staff wouldn’t help. No ear plugs either. I wouldn’t stay here again, it has big hostel energy but not hostel prices.
