We made a reservation at the poolside bar after receiving a message from the hotel to do so because they fill up fast- and they do. Our reservation was for 4 PM. We arrived at 3:55 and placed our drink order. After stopping servers that went by multiple times, and entering the restaurant twice, asking for a manager once, we finally received our drinks after over an hour of waiting. The worst part was they sent the poor server out to apologize like a sacrificial lamb when it wasn’t his fault as we had ordered through two people prior. Our bill was over $200, which isn’t a ton, but we were there to be patrons of the bar. You only get three hours, so our reservation was cut down to two hours because we lost an hour sitting and waiting and chasing people down. It was very disappointing as we had done all the right things that hotel suggested to ensure service. Our first round of drinks (3) was compt for full disclosure. If you do plan to attend the hotel pool and have drinks etc, I absolutely recommend a reservation as there were people who came in after us that were disappointed not to get a fireside table.

My second stay here and it is now my go to hotel in downtown Calgary. Literally across the street from 3 of the hottest restaurants (Ten Foot Henry, Calcutta Cricket Club, Pat & Betty’s) in the city along with the coolest cocktail bar (Proof). Modern $ spacious rooms, indoor pool & gym as well secured underground parking. Walking distance to everything that matters. Hotel staff is helpful & friendly. Affordable & hyper local considering neighbouring hotels in the sane price point. Highly recommended.

Check in was slow and the room key to open the garage door for parking and the elevator didn't work for either. Made for an unpleasant start to the stay. Then there were no spots for parking at all on p1 so parked on P2 only to have a nasty note left from a KMSS employee say it was reserved.
