    Calgary leaves much to be desired, but there’s nothing wrong with this hotel.

    Staff at check in were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, with different conveniently labelled pillows (soft/firm), quality materials, and a nice nook to make tea and coffee. The hotel is easy to reach, just opposite the tram stop and close to the University and a variety of restaurants. Very competitive price and a great value for money for my stay!

    Housekeeping could've been improved as each day, they missed out something - whether it was making up the bathroom, replenishing toiletries or making the beds. We had to call housekeeping often to ask for top-ups of toiletries as they kept forgetting.

    The location was fantastic as it was right next to the tram in the free tram zone. That made it very easy to travel around the city just via public transport. The room was large and beds were very comfortable - though to note, the bathroom is pretty small for such a spacious room.

    Maybe having proper cups/mugs for tea/coffee. Hate those single use, disposable paper things.

    Loved the 'suite' including sitting area, kitchen and extra toilet. Very spacious, plenty storage, clean, comfortable, quiet. Lovely to have an area to relax, watch TV etc that is separate from the bedroom.

    The elevators were very slow appeared to be related to sharing with housekeeping and having to wait for them to go from floor to floor and all the guests having to squeeze along the sides of the elevator so that they can fit their large carts in. Having to stop floor to floor as other housekeeping were waiting for elevator as well but couldn’t fit into ours due to being full. Spent too much time waiting for elevators and stopping floor to floor. From an overall cost perspective I would think this is quite costly for your organization to have so many housekeeping waiting for elevators. If not being for the 16th floor would have taken stairs all the time to not have encountered that. Some housekeeping staff were polite but others appeared to not be happy and if another staff got on the elevator they would speak their own language and it never sounded like they were happy or they were talking about the guests. Not a very warm feeling when you are a guest. Made you feel like you are an intruder using the elevator. Our safe did not work in the room so we had to carry our personal items with us. Also the instructions were for a different safe not the safe that’s in the room. I would think that housekeeping should be checking that the safes work every time they flip a room. I would have called to ask for someone to come fix however we only had a few days in Calgary to enjoy and we didn’t want to wait for however long it would take to get fixed. As we have had previous experience at another hotel with safe not working and waiting for over 2 hours for someone to come look at it. We wanted to enjoy the +15 walkway that the hotel is attached to however due to times and days of the week the walkway is closed. That’s very unfortunate. Being 2 single women would have liked to have used the walkway for safety reasons to avoid the number of homeless/other characters hanging around on sidewalks. We have used in another city where there were no time limits.

    Location was great, directly located in front of the LTC to allow us to get around quickly as well as the central location for walking was perfect. The room was clean and very comfortable. Great pillows!!!! Parking garage was a bonus. Front lobby was very welcoming and inviting.

    The water pressure and water temperature in the shower wasn't great, and the aircon in the room was very noisy.

    Room was comfy and we sort of had a view of the mountains which was lovely. The staff was great, and the downtown location was practical (even if it's not the most exciting neighbourhood in Calgary).

    Service in the restaurant for breakfast was a little slow and seemed disorganised. The food however was worth waiting for.

    Great location with the advantage of parking on site. Short walk through to the parks and river. Staff were super helpful and the on site restaurant was great

    We had emailed in advance requesting an upgrade but never received any response. staff were unclear about the deposit and parking charge but we got that figured out eventually. we were put next to the conference / meeting rooms so were woken early by cleaning and people in and out these rooms.

    room was spacious, big comfy bed, good location, 24hr parking joined downstairs, standard check out at 12pm, luggage storage
