On your mark, get set, go!…. To another hotel so you can get some sleep. The location next to a busy Calgary road made this stay terrible for our family. It. Was. So. Loud. Like trying to sleep next to a race track. Kids couldn’t sleep from the constant sound of traffic, horns, sirens at 5:30am. It may have been the location of our room (204) but we had a terrible sleep which took away from the rest of the stay which was overall fine. The hotel and rooms are clean and what you would expect at this price level, staff were fine, kids really liked the pool and slide, although we had to ask to have the pool opened when nothing was on at 8:15 (opens at 8). And because we were up so early with the noise we were ready to get in that pool.

Comfortable and clean

Overall, hotel is clean with all needed amenities. Biggest disappointment was check in. Could hardly understand the hotel clerk as he spoke. He offered no information, such as location of the pool, or where or when breakfast is served. He also refused to give us a second room key. Another negative was when I tried to access the free wifi at 7am it did not work. I think it should at least work until we check out.
