Came on business. Couldn't find another downtown hotel for less than $300/n but this was only $150/n. Nothing special about the hotel. Rooms were not bad and confortable. Had a couple of hairs in the sink and shower but no big deal. No minifridges in room. Hotel is older but again no big deal. Right in downtown and within walking... more

The Ramada is closer to a motel than a full service hotel. The room I was in was updated on the surface, but the bed was still motel-quality, and was not geared to business travel (e.g. no plug or phone at the desk). The lobby is very dated and I would not recommend eating there. Concierge staff was not knowledgeable... more

During a thee week trip of Canada and USA this was the most expensive and worst place I stayed. The room was an ok size, the bed comfortable and TV and facilities fine. The air con however made a loud hissing noise, so bad I asked to change rooms. They took me to several other rooms, on different floors, all... more

My girlfriend decided she would surprise me with a little trip to Calgary for the weekend. Once arriving in calgary and at the Ramada they informed my girlfriend and myself that our 50% coupon was not going to be accepted. My girlfriend had confirmed with the manager before she booked the trip that she had a 50% off coupon and... more

The only reason i would stay at this hotel is for its central location. After arriving from a long haul flight the staff were very unhelpful. There was not car parking avaliable. The staff then gave us incorrect directions to a car park. We had to get back to the hotel and ask again. The next morning when we asked... more

Stayed at Ramada for one night in July 2008. Only Valet parking available - which was efficient & reasonably priced. Staff on check in/out were very pleasant. Room was very dated & dark. Valence on bed was ripped in places & cigarette burns in bedding. Rooma non smoking but balcony overlooking pool handy for those that smoke. Hotel in middle... more

Upon arrival we interrupted the check in clerk from his cell phone. From there it just got worse. He was annoyed with us, annoyed working there, or , annoyed working there that night, one of the three. He was very short and unwelcoming, we felt intrusive. The room was 300$ per night for a king sized bed, not much room... more

We stayed here June 28-30th and there were 4 of us in the hotel, including two young children. What mattered to us was a clean room, well priced and close to attractions (or easy to get to), and we were not disappointed. The room was very clean and spacious with two double beds, a nice, big flat screen tv (and... more

The lobby was old and outdated, but I thought maybe the room would be better. Not so - the room was old, and worst of all smelled of smoke. I thought smoking in-doors has been banned?? The bathroom had one old fluorescent bulb that barely lit it up - so it was difficult to shave properly. The hotel badly needs... more
