I have never experienced such a warm welcome. The couple who run the Inn are fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help. They were good enough to provide me a complimentary breakfast. The accommodation itself was very clean and tidy. The owner has created a spectacular environment with wooden floors, panelling and cabinetry that he made himself. They were able to provide me with secure parking for my motorcycle and they also allowed me to leave one of my suitcases at their premises for a week while I travelled elsewhere. My room was below ground and was very comfortable and most importantly was quiet. It had its own bathroom and all the amenities that I needed. Although, they also provided much superior rooms and gave me the choice of which room to take. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any traveller and I hope to use them again in the future.

Kim and her husband are amazing hospitality naturals. This is more of a B&B than a hotel. I had everything I needed for my 3 night stay. Kim and her husband had a lovely breakfast prepared every morning, and were very kind with the way they checked in on me. It felt like I was staying with family or friends. Their kitchen is always stocked with snacks, coffee, soda, and water and they gave great travel advice. I did not drive but it looked like there was plenty of street parking. Would definitely stay here again!

The initial welcome was excellent. Access and parking at the property was well explained. Our bags were retrieved from our car and delivered to our room. The rooms were almost soundproof through the night in spite of being just off of memorial drive. A reasonable walk to the Kensington shopping and entertainment district. The hostess, Kim, was very friendly and helpful with the breakfast offerings in the morning. We have no problem in recommending this B&B to anyone visiting Calgary.

I booked last minute during stampede just hoping to get anything. But I was absolutely blown away by both the property itself and the amazing hospitality I was offered by the small family run BnB. She was very welcoming, showed me all around the property and I was able to pick from a couple room options that were still available, and I was welcome to any of the water and the snacks in the kitchen. Check in and check out was super easy and they register your vehicle for parking. I was offered a complimentary breakfast in the morning however I let her know I was leaving super early and instead she packed me a sandwich for the road. I would say a stay at this place is a must. The house itself is beautiful. It is close to downtown and was able to walk to the cowboys music festival in about 20mins.

It is not an Inn, it is a boarding house, it is totally misrepresented. I had to go and book a different room, and booking is not refundable, so it was a waste of money

I was visiting Calgary for a work conference and needed an affordable place to stay within short driving distance to the BMO Centre and this place was perfect! The host family was really nice and attentive and my room was extremely comfortable. It was slightly warm in the room but after mentioning it to Kim she brought me a fan! I would definitely stay here again if I ever visit Calgary and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay that’s close to downtown.

The windows in the room didn’t close which led to a very noisy and restless night for us from the noise outside on the streets at night and early morning.
Also the bed mattress was kind of sloping on my side of the bed. It was very uncomfortable.
Other than that it was Ok for the price.

Expensive for what you get. Not for everyone.

The photos on line and some of the reviews suggest this is a pretty nice place. However, the room we had was just a room in someone’s basement. No view, dark (just typical basement window below ground level) and felt drafty and cold. There was a leak under the bathroom sink and a ceiling light that kept coming on by itself during the night until we unscrewed the bulb. Even though this was a king room and there were only 2 of us, we were charged for an extra person. Also, the rules are no shoes in the building so if you have foot problems and rely on orthotics to prevent foot pain, this place is definitely not for you.

Beautiful private house but lacking the security, comfort and amenities of a 4 star guest house. We do not recommend.

Security: No security locks on room doors and a 'honour system' for locking the main entrance door. We put a chair against our door for security. The \"Check-out\" process meant leaving our keys on the kitchen counter.

Comfort: Bed mattress and pillows (foam) were lumpy; we didn't get a good night sleep. Top sheet was percale 180 thread count (Thomaston t-180), covered by thin nylon blanket (Vellux). Polyester comforter.

Amenities: Contrary to their Expedia profile, there is no room service or dining options. The host referred us to Uber Eats. Parking is street parking.

What could be improved:
- Security locks for guest room and main door security system.
- New or better quality mattress, pillows and bedding.
- Remove reference to room service from the Expedia website (intentional misrepresentation?, the host said it meant they \"serviced the room\" ) .
- The host has a strict policy requiring guests to remove their shoes at the front door. They should provide house slippers as is customary in this situation. The host provided me slippers when I asked, did not offer slippers to my spouse.
- Remove the first picture from their Expedia profile that shows what looks like a hotel tower. It's the first picture that pops up when using the Expedia mobile app.

I feel bad about posting this review because the hosts are very nice people and very accommodating. We did not know when we booked that the room was in the basement. The shower rod fell down, the sink plug did not work, the overhead light came on suddenly at 4 am one night, the bed sagged in the middle, the shower hand-held unit came right out of the wall, there were black marks on the face cloths, yellow marks on the sheets, live spider on the window sill. They have some very nice rooms upstairs so it's a mystery why they left the basement room at $189 per night in such disrepair.

The craftsmanship of the home’s interior was incredible - beautiful custom built-ins, consistent throughout the home, the floor was custom detailed, done by the owner. It almost felt like an older manor style home with the wainscoting and elegant finishes.
The owners were very nice, accommodating people, and fairly knowledgeable when I asked about parking in certain areas.
Breakfast options were plentiful and tasty! Room was clean, though there was an old stain on the one pillow. Mattress was very nice, pillows were just okay. The bathroom shower was AWESOME, it had an amazing rainfall shower.
However, I accidentally locked the basement room where I was staying. There was an “exterior interior” door that led to a closed hallway leading to my bedroom and bathroom. No one told me I couldn’t lock this hallway door from the outside, as the lock wasn’t the same as my lockable bedroom door. (Owner had to unlock it!)
This strange set-up was caused by the establishment of a basement suite, likely for the owners family. The “wall” closing off my hallway wasn’t a “proper” dry walled wall that goes from floor to ceiling. It was more like the back of a cupboard, and light could escape along the crack by the ceiling.
When I turned the hallway light on, a light clearly came on on the other side of the wall in the basement suite. Vice versa, if the tenants turned on their light using the two-way switch, my hallway light would also come on. Just weird.
Still, would stay again!

Nice building that seems to no longer be well maintained. Flat pillows, creaky bed and not as clean as it should be. We chose this hoping for something unique and a little nicer than a chain hotel. It was considerably more expensive than a chain hotel, but worse than a chain hotel in the things that netter most.

Guest beware. We arrived at the property and knocked on the door and hit the buzzer and got no response. We then tried calling the property 3 times while we waited for an hour outside and also got none response. During that time we also called Expedia who said they called twice and couldn’t get a response. After an hour we decided to just leave. Expedia was able to get hold of them the two hours later and they claimed they were there despite Expedia even saying no one was answering. This property is a house so there’s no entrance like a normal hotel.

We finally heard from the hotel at 6:33pm saying they’d give us a partial refund if we cancel by 730. I wasn’t able to find a way to cancel so messages the property and got not response. I called Expedia and they said that the property set there check out to end at 630 so that’s when cancellations ends. They sent us a email at 633 offering a refund if we cancel knowing that it wasn’t possible for us to cancel. This whole thing felt like a scam. We never got any money back.

This is a very expensive private property to stay at. This is a house and it needs some work. Overall the experience was very disappointing, we had a suite and the bed was comfortable but the shower came out rusty and was not clean. The “hotel provided” soaps were large (used) bottles of Irish spring and head and shoulders. Our room had an adjoining room that had a bicycle lock wrapped around the handles as the lock between the rooms. We were given a basement room that was cold with no room temperature control and a very thin blanket. In the morning you hear everything going on in the house above you so it was hard to sleep once others started to get up.
We also made a computer error when we booked through Expedia and booked for the wrong day. The owners would not offer a refund or allow us to change to a later date and blamed us for a loss of clients even though the mistake was more than a week away and we tried to get ahold of them immediately after the mistake was made. It took 2 days for a call to reach someone at the property and no one is regularly available.

A quiet place close to Downtown Calgary

Checking in was easy and we had a quick tour of the room.
This accommodation is actually much bigger than the photos show. The bathtub is perfect for the big and tall and the dual sinks make getting ready in the morning much easier. Having an office area to the side of the fireplace meant I could take a video meeting and my spouse could stay out of sight in bed.
Downstairs they had coffee and tea ready with muffins in the morning, and everything was just so easy.
Also, we forgot an item on check-out and the staff was helpful in getting it back.

WARNING: This property is a private home in which I did not feel safe. The owners do not provide refunds for cancellations we’ll in advance or under any circumstances.

I arrived shortly after 9pm to a dark house with no sign indicating it was anything like an inn or hotel. It was a private home flanked by decrepit houses, facing a highway. The door was locked and there were no instructions on how to get or check in. I rang the doorbell over and over but no one came. I then looked up my reservation on email and called a number on it, and a man answered who said he’d heard me ringing. Once he knew who I was he said he’d let me in in a few minutes. Upon entry I was asked to take off my shoes. I noticed crucifixes and Virgin Mary art around the entryway. I “checked in” at a makeshift wobbly podium by showing my driver’s license. The man was sweaty, wearing shabby jeans and suspenders. He took me upstairs to my room and entered it with me, showing me around even though I carried all my own stuff and where things were were obvious. He seemed to expect a tip. There was no refrigerator in the room, no kettle, no way to make coffee or tea, and no ice available. After he left I closed the wooden French door to the room and couldn’t figure out how to lock it. The only lock was on the back of the doorknob and it was unreliable. Needless to say, as a woman traveling alone, I did not feel safe. I tried to cancel my 5-day reservation the next day and I was told there were no refunds.

We don't usually stay in bed and breakfast type lodging. But we were very pleasantly surprise at the stay at Westmount. Kim the owner was very accommodating of our needs for a ground floor room given our heavy suitcases and not wanting to damage the incredible wookwork in the home. She made us an excellent breakfast and we had pleasant conversations. She also gave us excellent advice on nearby restaurants. The location is perect to stay near downtown in a pretty neighborhood very close to the Bow river. Excellent accomodations and would recommend to others. Be careful with the location on digital maps since we almost went two doors down the street! And Kim insists on no shoes on those wonderful wood floors.

This Inn is a private residence, you are renting a room out of the upstairs of someone's home. The surrounding properties are in poor repair, and had broken windows. The entrance to the property appeared to have no security and I felt unsafe. There was no additional interior lock on my room. There was no check in desk, or clear check in process. The owner entered my room with me and checked me in inside my rented room. The bedroom door windows were painted over. There was no air conditioning. The television only had a handful of working channels. The windows to my room were open when I arrived and the smell of cigarettes was wafting in. I left with irritated eyes and can only guess that my sheets were poorly cleaned prior to my stay.

It is not obvious from the description online that the hosts live in the house and rent out rooms for the night. If we had known this, we would not have selected this property for our stay. The row of shoes in the entryway should have alerted us to this fact, but it was only when dinner cooking smells and noise from the kitchen started drifting up to our room, that we realised this is a rented-room type setup, rather than a true \"Inn\" that values guests' privacy and rest. We had especially selected it for its purported upscale, picturesque nature, but were left disappointed given the lacklustre surroundings, high nightly rate, plus additional cost for a somewhat lacking breakfast we forked out.

Note that there are no coffeemaker, water kettle, plateware or microwave facilities in the kitchenette area of the King room.
Since the house borders on a very busy, noisy main road, there is no chance of enjoying the balcony peacefully.
The hostess alerted us to the fact that they were preparing for a major event the following week and that there would be some noise that evening. We were fine with it initially, but by midnight the music was still blaring loudly with a full party going on downstairs.
We felt cheated out of a good night's rest and left well before checkout time the next day.

Although the hostess was very friendly and accommodating, we will be opting for a normal hotel stay on our next trip to Calgary.

Very beautiful home and very friendly hosts. You are welcomed, made to feel comfortable right away and ensure you have everything you need to settle in. Our bed was very comfortable, rooms are sound resistant and had no problem sleeping at all. Shower is nice with plenty of water flow. In the morning they cook a delicious breakfast and bring it to your room. Two issues we had were the bar sink had no cold water and the toilet felt loose on the floor when sat on.

This is a home, not a hotel. There is no coffee machine or microwave in the room. The price was supposed to include breakfast but the hosts refused to serve us even though we had our papers to participate in the exemptions program.

Do not use this \"Inn\" if you expect hotel amenities. This bed and breakfast turned up early in a search for Calgary hotels and with quite a high rating. In the description it comes across as a boutique hotel with a limited number of interesting rooms. It is not a hotel and has none of the levels of service one expects with a four star hotel. We prepaid for three nights, left after one night and checked in to a similarly rated (and similarly priced) well known downtown hotel. We were offered a reduction on a future stay. This is an offer which we are unlikely to have the opportunity or the will to take up. I feel that part of the fault must lie with the search engine: as a B&B this \"Inn\" might rate its stars, it should not be rated or listed as a hotel. For this traveller an expensive mistake.

Breakfast was included every morning. We had a fridge in the room and could use their microwave. We would highly recommande staying at this Inn.

Not on the river and not an 'inn'

This is a home in a residential neighborhood. it doesn't even have a sign outside indicating that it is a hotel. it is extremely difficult to get to. It claims to be on the river, with a river view. In fact, it is on the opposite side of a divided very fast 4 lane street, with the river beyond that street. The room is set up with a counter and sink, but there was no way you would be allowed to take your food up to the room. The hosts were very friendly, but it was very much a private home where you would be eating your breakfast in their kitchen. The house is beautifully decorated, but the neighborhood is not great.

spacious room in a lovely house

John and Kim were lovely and hospitable, offering refreshment upon arrival and assuring that we knew the wifi password, etc. The house was beautifully refinished and the room was spacious. We left for the airport too early to comment on the continental breakfast.
The only downside was that the \"river view\" from the balcony was over several lanes of traffic and that traffic was somewhat disruptive in the early hours of the morning. If you are a heavy sleeper, you'll be fine.

We knew something was amiss when the lady of the house asked us to take off our shoes at the door. The Queen room is tiny and they had to wheel in portable air conditioner on a hot summer’s day.. The owners are very sweet and tried to make us comfortable but it was too much of an amateur operation. This is a b&b, not a hotel. We ended up forfeiting our advance payment and staying elsewhere.

Comfortable in Calgary

Kim and John are amazing hosts and offered us a cup of tea, fruit and nibbles on arrival. The house is beautiful with great attention to detail, especially with motifs, eg inlaid maple leaf outline on bottom wooden (handmade) stair/wooden handrail and furniture. Lots of lovely pictures too. The balcony in our well equipped room was a lovely touch to sit outside and watch the river.

I would not recommend this place to a nun, a priest or my worst enemy. The host barely speaks English, does not have any manners & does not have a concept of what boundaries & privacy means here in North America. She was constantly nagging us while we stayed there & did not provide appropriate instructions as to what the rules of the hotel were (if you can call it a hotel, it's more like a house). Amenities were incredibly minimal for the high prices they charge, hell, there wasn't even toothpaste, soap or anything like that in the room; complimentary or otherwise. The lady kept telling me to do a cash deal with her instead of going through Travelocity so that they could avoid paying fees & taxes. Very unprofessional & sketchy people. DO NOT STAY HERE if you care about having a positive experience.

My stay at Westmount River Inn

My stay at the above inn was disappointing, creation was ok ,room was clean but appointments were. Null.no glasses of any kind. No air conditioning.no coffee or tea machine to make in room. Bathroom had no extras , shower cap ,towels small and bare necessary. For $295 per night I expect more. When we left in the morning at 8.30 no one was around to serve breakfast which was part of the deal.very very dissapointing.
