Stayed here for one night, the room was ok, beds were comfortable, amenities in room good. However the room had an odor that I think was the carpet. Probably needs cleaning. The AC in room was efficient but the fan was a bit loud and could not be adjusted (low or high). Really like that they have underground parking. My car battery died and maintenance staff boosted me, thankful for that! The back ally when you exit the hotel was awful! Full of potholes and puddles and had cars parked on both sides which made it difficult to navigate around the holes.There’s a big pool which I didn’t use. The included breakfast was awful. The scrambled eggs I think were powdered eggs, flavorless and runny. “Tater tots” were soggy and a bit cold. There was ham and sausage that was just ok. And there were also the usual items like yogurt, toast and some fresh fruit, tea, coffee and juice. Staff overall were really great! The price of the room was high for what you got (also stampede week) but I had a credit with Expedia which helped.

This is a former motel for sure. I was put on the first floor and didn’t feel the normal aloft feeling I get as I have stayed at their other properties around the world. The 7 foot ceiling on the main floor going my room screamed old motel 6 vibes. …

Breakfast was standard scrambled eggs, sausage, oats and applied.

Pool area was so large however pool it self can only likely fit 3-5 adults. I recommend the property owner conver that pool to a hot tub and make a bigger pool. Overall pool was sad. Recommend getting a Sauna if possible.

I have stayed in this hotel since maybe 10 years ago. I nothing had changed in the 10 or so years. It is obvious that property has deteriorated and is need of repairs. tiles in showers have lost grout long time ago, wallpaper are scratched and in bed shape. as you enter into there room you are met with moldy, humid smell. there is no way to open a window, not even bit to let fresh air in. Tile floors were sticky and not clean properly. The only positive is that bed and bedding were crisp and clean. Breakfast is provided for free but it is at the best mediocre. will not be staying there.

Starting with the good: my breakfast was excellent, checkin was efficient.
My room: the carpet looked a bit worn, the door slamming all night was annoying and my pillows had a slight unpleasant smell.
The bed was comfortable

Overbooked for the weekend. Provided me a room that was adjoining with others which yielded inexcusable noise and ultimately provided poor customer service.

The layout of the room is very small and the bathroom doesn’t really make sense. The toilet and shower are in one room and the sink is on the other side of the door. The bathroom door is a very heavy sliding door. Unfortunately our room was on the first floor and right next to the entrance to the hotel hallway. So all we heard all night and all day was the door opening and slamming shut. Which made for a restless sleep.
The staff and other amenities of the hotel were very nice however.

Staff were lovely. Rooms are clean. The pool was great, it would be nice to have a slide or hot tub, but overall it’s comfortable. Breakfast was poor at best. Re-heated leftovers (turkey) were dry, scrambled eggs from a bag weren’t cooked well, pancake machine wasn’t running so disappointing.

It was oddly weird. The decor was somewhere between art deco and 70's disco. Floor plan was all cut up like a maze trying to find your room. Rooms weren't ready at check in time. Will not be staying here again when there are so many other choices.

A good hotel thats fair priced. Love having underground parking for the motorcycles. Good location, espeically when you want quick access to get to the mountains. I was disappointed this time as the pool was reserved for a party. We had arrived to check in at around 730pm and were told we could not use the pool. there is no way we could have known the pool was booked in advance as that was our notice as soon as we checked in. Surprise notice! Other than that, it was a good place to sleep without breaking the bank.

The property is very clean and well maintained. My room was clean and had a very modern astetic. Bed itself was very comfortable and smelled fresh. Bathroom area was also really clean and the toiletries supplied were of above average quality. Issues I had with the room were mainly tied to the layout, a table/shelf was block half the air conditioner which made the room cool down a lot slower, and my toilet was a bit too close to the wall making it a bit uncomfortable to use.

Breakfast was included with my stay and the variety is what you would expect from most establishments and the taste was average to above average.

On site facilities like the gym and swimming pool looked to be well maintained and clean, however I did not use them during my stay.

The staff was amazing.

Exes restaurant has a variety of excellent meals for very affordable prices. Room service took less than 8 minutes each evening and the hotel was sold out. Impressive.

The rooms are modern and beds comfy. Blinds could use updating.

The gym is adequate, treadmills need calibration but they were fine and I didn’t want to run outside alone early mornings.

The spa on sight was also excellent. I had a fantastic Thai massage there.

A 7 minute walk to the foothills athletic track which was why I was there. Perfect.

Ok if stricter \"teams\" or kids group bookings

A case of bad luck or do all hotels need to be stricter with kids? They booked a boys baseball team or two, the unholy ruckus.
10 boys to one adult (ignoring the mayhem) in the small pool = no swimming. The breakfast buffet was a no go. The ceiling shook from the elephant stampede, forget sleep. They warn you that there is never enough parking, it's even worse if you arrive 'late afternoon' so be prepared. It is very close to transit, leave it parked, or you'll lose that spot. To be fair I thought the rooms were average, no issues there. I caught COVID while in Calgary and staying here, I recommend taking precautions.

WARNING TO PEOPLE TRAVELING WITH PETS - this hotel will tuck you into the 'pet area', which is a line up of rooms in a dark, dingy corner of the hotel, that smells like chemicals, and is right above the unbelievably loud generator for the building next door. You will pay full price for an awful room, without any warning! For that much, you can get a much nicer place in a different hotel

The food was poor quality. The hospital food is better . There were bugs in the room. A spider bit my daughter . We could not use the swimming pool because they rent it out . This is not stated for possible guests . The beds are awful, feels like a giant soft pillow . Will never stay here again or recommend.
