I enjoyed the fact that there were a few restaurants in the immediate area that were walking distance. We rented a car this trip, but even if we didn't, the C train station was right across the street. I also enjoyed the pool area, gym and complimentary breakfast.

My and my family stayed here for 2 nights. Ctrain is just across the road. My daughter had an open house at U of C which is so close, so it was so convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time.

Our go to

This is our go to hotel when we come to Calgary. The location is ideal for us. It is close to the LRT and right across from the U of C. The hit breakfast is good with lots of choices. The pool is good for families. I like the underground parking (free).

I did not like how the front staff was. My boyfriend had booked and paid for my hotel through Expedia because I do not have a credit card. At check in the clerk had no interest in offering a resolution for me but the basically tell me that I am out of luck. This was for a medical appointment for my son at the children's hospital and the fact that the clerk has no interest in offering any options just shocks me.
