Stayed here for the weekend while in town for a football game. Excellent location: 15 mins walk to the Calgary Tower, with lots of stores and restaurants close by. My only complaint is the windows could use some room darkening curtains or shades; facing east, the room got bright early. Breakfast alternated between sausage, scrambled eggs, and tater tots, or bacon, plain omelets, and baked beans, along with the usual assortment of cold cereals, muffins, and bagels, along with waffle makers. Would definitely stay here again!

The staff here are fantastic, friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The breakfast is simple but convenient, making mornings easy without needing to search elsewhere. Plus, the location is a big win: you're close to plenty of great restaurants, so dining out is never a hassle. The hotel offers paid parking, which is helpful if you're driving, though it’s something to factor into your budget. The only downside was an unfortunate incident where someone triggered the fire alarm by smoking indoors, forcing all guests outside at midnight. It was disruptive and could’ve easily been avoided with more consideration. Despite that hiccup, the hotel delivers solid service and a pleasant stay. Would recommend. A gentle reminder to fellow guests: please respect the rules for everyone’s sake.
