This was our first time staying at the Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel, and we were really impressed. It was also the only hotel that was able to accommodate us last minute for an overnight stay, which we greatly appreciated. During check-in, the front desk staff was very kind and welcoming, and they explained clearly why a deposit was required for having our pet with us, which made the process smooth and easy. The room was tidy and well-prepared, making us feel comfortable right away. The only small issue we noticed was when I went to hang some clothes and saw the digital safe. On top of it, there was a used cigarette that must have been left behind by a previous guest. Since this is a non-smoking, pet-friendly room, it was a bit concerning to find. Hopefully, housekeeping can pay closer attention to those details in the future, so that everything feels completely fresh for the next guests. Aside from that, everything else during our stay was excellent—we were comfortable, felt welcomed, and overall enjoyed our time here. 😊

Parking was free just a couple years ago. Parking also used to have more spots on the upper levels but now they’re reserved. Now you have to go down to level 4-5 to find a spot. And in that area being down there isn’t safe. A huge issue was that only one elevator went down to the parkade so if someone from the lobby used it you would have to wait 5-7 minutes for the elevator. I will not be staying here again and it’s very unfortunate because it’s been my favourite hotel in Calgary since 2011

Absolutely loved everything about this hotel. Perfect location in downtown Calgary, easy public transit access, walkability 100% perfect. Underground parking made me feel secure that my vehicle was safe. moxies was a tasty place to grab a snack and a drink. The staff at the front desk were very helpful, and the cleaning crew went above and beyond! I would stay here again and again.
