Team stayed at this hotel for a recent basketball tournament . Initial impressions were good. Lobby is clean, hotel appearance good. Got a special team rate for the one night stay. All was good until we entered our rooms. Rooms smelled like perm solution (ammonia?) - felt like stepping into a hair salon!! Discovered that all rooms had this smell,... more

Stayed here during first night in Calgary, and also again the night before departure. Check-in personnel were courteous, and no problems during check-in process. Lobby is bright and airy, doubles as breakfast area. Both rooms that I stayed in during my stay(s) had kind of a "hair coloring solution" type of odor. Not a big deal, but the odor was... more

I stayed here with my family,to attend a nearby conference.We stayed in the newer tower,and overall this hotel is good value.I have a problem with the Choice hotels promise,which is displayed prominently in your room.Basically it states that if you are not satisfied with any part of your stay,and if the hotel is unable to rectify the situation,then you are... more

We spent 2 nights at the hotel and had no problems whatsoever. Check-in was fine, I noticed another traveller reviewing this hotel complaining about having to pay a security deposit of $100 - many hotels charge this but as long as you don't rack up long-distance you are fine, and another complained because he didn't confirm his reservation - that's... more

Room was nice, but the air/heat fan was very noisy. We stayed in the new tower which is nice appearing. The older section needs cosmetic work and is in disrepair. We stayed Thursday and Friday. I asked for AAA rates, which were approved for Thursday, but denied for Friday. I believe this is against AAA policy and intend to report... more

Really nice hotel, very clean, very very nice staff. the bathroom in our room was exceptionally clean, no hairs, no nails. the only thing that was disappointing with our room was that the air freshener smelt like perming chemicals but you couldn't notice it once you stayed in the room for a while. but otherwise a great stay, highly recommended. more

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. This is the second time we've stayed there. We learnt that you need to request the new part of the hotel, the older rooms are not nice. However, the new part is nice. The room was spacious and clean, the beds comfortable. The only negative thing was that there was a couple football... more

I had called the hotel two months prior to our arrival and booked two rooms with two beds each. I received confirmation numbers for each room. Due to a death in the family we had to postpone the start date of our trip by two days and altered all of our hotel arrangements without problem until we reached Calgary. I... more

We stayed here in July 2005 on our way through the Rockies. It's in an area with several motels (Holiday Inn, Hampton, Quality Inn are all within 2 minutes walk of it)and very near the metro line into downtown Calgary. It's a basic motel. The room was big and clean and well equiped with coffee facilities, fridge and TV. The... more

I stayed here during a workshop with a colleague that is really sensitive to air quality due to asthma. When we walked into the room all three of us said "this room smells like a perm". My colleague was overwhelmed and we had to leave as she was having such a bad reaction. The staff seemed to be quite aware... more
