7.2/10

The hotel had a mix of experiences; the first room wasn't clean with ants on the bed, but after changing, the second room was freshly renovated and really nice. The rooms are well-suited for families, clean with more than adequate facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful overall, though consistency varied. The location is convenient, close to major routes and eateries, with easy access. The dining experiences ranged from poor to very good, with varying options. Overall, a value-for-money stay.

The hotel had disgustingly stained sheets in all 4 beds, which I immediately addressed with the front desk. The room we were moved to seemed like a converted broom closet without a window, not ideal for our stay.

7.0/10

I had a mixed experience with this hotel. The location was perfect for quick access to anywhere in Calgary and had bars and restaurants within walking distance. However, the noisy inside pool from my room and the confusion with the room layout were definite cons. The amenities provided were good, including a safe, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and kettle upon request.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in had a view of the inside pool, which could be quite loud at times. The layout felt strange, but it was very clean and well maintained. I appreciated the extra amenities like the safe and kitchen facilities.

Service

6.0

The service overall was good, except for an incident of staff entering my room without knocking early in the morning. Most of the staff were helpful and knowledgeable about local eateries, though there was one receptionist who wasn't as welcoming.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was fantastic for my early flight from Calgary International airport and had convenient access to bars and restaurants within walking distance. However, it wasn't close to the airport or other facilities, which was a downside.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was satisfactory with a good variety, though the continental breakfast could use more fresh fruit options. It was enough for me, and I enjoyed the waffles.

Facilities

The hotel's facilities were decent, and I appreciated the available amenities like dry cleaning and laundry services. However, there were some issues with noise from the inside pool affecting the overall experience.
