having stayed at the Sandman several times before I was pleased to find that the hotel had stayed clean and reasonable. Not really a leasure hotel being in Downtown calgary it's more of a business hotel, which is fine as long as you are aware of this. It's location however is handy for getting round on trams to sights in... more

Stayed in this hotel for two nights in June, quite impersonal but very efficient, clean and functional. Their Moxies Grill Bar is excellent value and the hotel is in a great position for access to the city centre, Princes Park and other attractions. more

We stayed at the Sandman for a week in May. The hotel is located at the far end of 7th Ave SW right on the CTrain route which is great for getting around and FREE if you are only travelling down 7th. The rooms were very spacious and clean however the TV selection wasnt great but we got by. The... more

I'm guessing this is more of a business hotel than a tourist hotel since there are not a lot of touristy things to do in this part of downtown.

Arrived here straight from the airport after flight from UK and room was not quite ready but staff were friendly and told us it would only be 30 mins so waited in the bar which was a pretty cool looking sports bar. Room was worth the wait as it was on a high floor and we had a corner room... more

Although this hotel is conveniently located to everything downtown, we had a not so pleasant experience here. First of all, the staff here is amazing and caters wonderfully to their guests, as I will describe further into this review. We arrived in the late afternoon and were greeted with pleasantries. The front staff was fantastic and very quick. They informed... more

I stayed here for two nights in February 09. The labby is nice and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately the rooms weren't very nice or luxurious but considering the price of this hotel versus others in Calgary- it was fine. I probably wouldn't stay here again simply because it wasn't that nice and the bed wasn't too comfortable. The room... more
