Very disappointed. Looked great online, but room was small and cluttered and the shower didn't drain, so you were standing in your own filth, not good! Lighting was also horrible in the bathroom, light on one side of the mirror so when you do your makeup you aren't sure if one side of your face is good to go or... More

Located at the heart of the city. 7th Avenue is a pedestrian & tram only road, but access is easy via 8th Avenue. Parking below - 18 dollars but compares well with public long stay parking near by. Staff very pleasant and helpful; spacious, very clean and comfortable room; quiet night, undistrurbed by the streets below. There is a pool... More

I can't tell why I'm spending over 180 a night here...in the US I would not spend more than $59.99 anywhere for the same quality beds space furnishings bathrooms AND I'd get better water pressure! This hotel is truly a dive even in an overpriced city like Calgary...don't stay her unless you don't have a choice. The front desk staff... More

Everything in the room is outdated. The bathroom fan didn't work, so the room was musty and humid. There was a dent in the drywall and the wallpaper was peeling on edges all over the room and bathroom. There was a large white spatter- like stain on the bedskirt, I tried not to think about what that might have been!... More

We certainly appreciate your comments as it is through guest feedback that assists us on improving our service and amenities. I would hope that you informed a staff member of any deficiency along with a room number for immediate attention as this would be a logical first step in order for the hotel to remedy an issue while you are...

Not even warm, and the sink was plugged and wouldnt drain. We called the front desk and compained, and they told us a repair... More

I am currently here, in room 2011. Just spent night number one, with a reservation for another nine nights. Overall, the place is depressing. The room is a basic double bed room. It has been cleaned as well as you can clean a room which hasn't been renovated in twenty years. The bathroom is incredibly small, when you attempt to... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Good location - right on the transit line which is free within the downtown core. Moxie's is located off main lobby - didn't use it but would have if we had stayed longer. Rooms a good size. Wireless internet very spotty in room. Our TV didn't turn on when we first arrived. Maintenance came up... More

You pay quite a bit for accommodation in Calgary and so you would expect at least a decent size hotel room for 300 per night...this hotel does have bigger rooms obviously not bad....heed to the three star rating because it definitely deserves no more More

Struggling to say anything really positive: I enjoyed eating at the restaurant, and the front desk welcome was very good, but the rest of it seems run down and badly maintained. Nothing really major, just a huge list of things that no-one bothers to look after, resulting in an overall "no-one really cares" impression. First off, the bedroom is truly... More

First off, the water systems are shared so if you try to take a shower at any time except weird times like at 2am you will be randomly scalded by hot water. And the bathroom was ridiculously small. I almost killed myself tripping over the toilet getting out of the shower every time. The internet was pathetically slow. I got... More
