My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a great jacuzzi suite as a nice touch, but there was an issue with cleanliness due to a roach infestation. The service was a mixed bag - some staff members were friendly, while others were rude and unnecessarily charged for minor issues. The location was convenient, close to downtown and with easy parking, but there were contrasting opinions about the surrounding area near the C-Train station. Overall, a stay with both positive and negative aspects.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms needed some updates and repairs, but they were surprisingly comfortable, and having breakfast included was a great bonus. The tasteful gray-tone decorations added a nice touch, and the balcony overlooking downtown Calgary was lovely.

The service was a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff was very helpful and tried to make us smile, they were also very noisy in the hallway the next morning, which disturbed our sleep. The payment options were a bit overcomplicated.

The hotel's location was convenient as it was very close to downtown and places we wanted to visit. The availability of the C-Train service right behind the hotel was a great perk. However, I wouldn't choose to stay here for ecological reasons.

Service was courteous but lacked transparency. The location was convenient with free parking, although dining options need improvement.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms were very clean and quiet, but unfortunately too small to fit 2 Queen beds. I did notice some fresh food stain on the carpet and some housekeeping oversights like couch cushions turned the wrong way and hair and lint on the sheets. The service, on the other hand, was exceptionally nice and helpful. The location was great for us, although a bit scary driving to the Saddledome at night. Overall, the stay was a bit of a rollercoaster.

The service was lacking professionalism at times, but some staff members were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for accessing downtown, though not very attractive.
