Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We weren’t expecting a luxurious hotel as we just needed a place to stay for the Calgary Stampede, and we have stayed at Best Westerns in the past and have good luck, but this was disappointing. The room stunk like dust and possibly smoke, there were oily arm and hand prints all over the head board, there was a white stain on the dresser that could have easily been wiped off, carpets were coming apart, our little breakfast table had two completely different chairs, the drawer of cutlery was dirty and cutlery was unpolished, and one of the queen beds had a duvet cover that was evidently not washed. For almost $400 a night it felt like we were in a dirty motel. Very disappointed.
