Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Although the property was indeed modern, the room lacked any drawers and very limited closet space. Noise from our neighbour was rather disturbing as 3:00 am music easily heard as exuberant activity was seemingly enjoyed by the lady next door for an extended period. Other competitors in the region have parking included along with buffet breakfast and yet not at this property. We would likely not return again to this property.

Very nice hotel. Good area with some nice restaurants. The downside was the lack of drawers. We always like to unpack our suitcases when staying more than one night.

We stayed for 5 nights, and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, the staff were excellent, and the service was top-notch. The location is perfect, central, with plenty of great dining options nearby. This has become our new go-to place to stay in Calgary!
