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.

Property is located about a couple short blocks from the rail transit - worked great for Calgary stampede. Staff was super friendly - as an FYI there's no need to purchase the $8 upgrade for room credit and parking. Parking is free at this location, and breakfast is included for all guests.

Ok for Overnight Stay

Overall the hotel has been fine. Very unhappy that there was swimming lessons going on while we were trying to enjoy the pool. Beds were comfortable. Also found it odd there was no shelf in the shower to put the soap and your own shampoo on.
