  This hotel was budget friendly with an upscale feel. The rooms were clean and extremely comfortable (great pillows). The location was convenient to restaurants and the park on the river. Great place to relax with quiet rooms and friendly staff

  An amazing hotel. Lovely walks along the river. 29 minutes to walk to the tower.Hotel is very clean, great rooms and the staff are so helpful! Special mention of Mia who absolutely made our stay great. She gave us so much help and fantastic suggestions for food and activities. A star! Great food places directly across the road. Are felt very safe and we will definitely return!

  Bad Customer service

  04 Sept 2025

  Attitude of reception staff was bad. Neat hotel with good lounge & diner. Central location & easy walking distance to city center. We booked the hotel as a group 4 rooms. We had requested for additional bed in one room to sleep three & this was confirmed whilst booking. This booking was done by my brother in Calgary. However, on arrival, the check in was smooth & when we asked for the additional bed, the lady said that it cannot be done due to lack of space & fire safety regulations. I told her that I understand all that & asked her for options. She went to check with her manager & the gentleman came out with a "Policeman like face & talk" saying "I am sorry sir...". We were attending a wedding & my wife gently asked me to calm down & we will sort something later. To our surprise, two other rooms allotted to others in the group had the space & the spare bed was accommodated in their rooms. On questioning why that was not offered to us, she went on another protective rant. Poor training of staff to address customer service.

  A good value choice with a river view

  13 Aug 2025

  We stayed here for two nights over the long weekend sleeping off the jet lag before we travelled on to Banff and Jasper. We were looking for something comfortable in a reasonably central and a good rate. I think I was given this hotel as a recommendation in a TA forum question, and found the rate to be good for the apparent standard of accommodation. The hotel is a short Uber ride from the airport and is situated on the river, about a 20 minute walk from the Calgary Tower. Our room was quite small, but the standard was good. Everything was in a good state of repair, and everything worked the way it should. The room had a nespresso machine, and a kettle was also delivered to our room on request so we could also have tea. The area is safe enough. There are a lot of homeless people resident along the river, under the bridges, but we found the walk along the river quite safe. There were plenty of people jogging, walking their dogs and cycling, and the homeless people, whilst obviously having their own private problems, were not begging or intimidating in any way. So don't let that put you off. If I were to stay here again, the one thing I would do is to not add breakfast to the bill. Breakfast can be added at a cost of 20 CAD pp, taken at the ajoining cafe, but on reflection this didn't seem to offer any advantage by way of a discount. All it did was to restrict your choices to the hotel breakfast menu (which you could order at a similar price anyway on a walk in). All in all, however, if we were to visit Calgary again, we'd stay here again

  Great hospitality

  28 May 2025

  Absolutely loved this hotel. We were in town for the Calgary Marathon, and this hotel was in the perfect location, walking distance from the start and finish lines. They also had a cute welcome package for marathon runners of some snacks and electrolyte drinks plus they automatically signed us up for a late checkout since I was in the race. Even without all the race perks the hotel had a really cool, modern vibe. The cherry on top is that they allow dogs in the rooms and so we were able to bring our pooch with us. Great stay!
