Nice stay everytime

The only major disappointment is Hotels.com charging an extra fee for cancelation option although the hotel says they don’t and you can cancel for free up to 7 days prior. The hotel sent a confirmation of booking email stating that it runs renos so it’s loud during weekdays. So if I wanted to cancel my reservation ahead of time , I could loose my extra fee I paid which was about $16/night. This is my favorite hotel in Calgary any time I’ve been in Calgary. It’s spacious, it offers great service and a wealthy breakfast. It’s good value for the money and it’s conveniently located near cafe/dinner, transit, attractions , etc. Note: it’s the AC units are loud , there are old type that fit under the windows but if that was not a major issue .

This is not the first time we stayed at this hotel . We love the location and staff. More so since we can walk to the Saddledome to catch a hockey game . It's also close to 17 th ave. with all the restaurants / pubs . However this hotel is in desperate of need of new furniture / carpet . The couch in our room is all ripped / broken , the coffee table looks like it hasn't been clean in a long long time . .My husband had to fix the hook on the bathroom door ( to hang the wet towel )since it keep falling down . We love the location and staff but it need a lot of help
