The Ramada downtown Calgary is one of the best hotels I have stayed in for business or pleasure, it is centrally located to many great restaurants and is within walking distance to many downtown attractions. What really makes this place nice to stay at is the staff, Mylene in reservations is always very accommodating and great to work with, Antonio... More

I am in Calgary approximately twice per month on business and I always stay at the Ramada Downtown. The reservations staff (Mylene) are very flexible and accomodating to my needs. In addition, the evening parkade attendant (Antonio) front desk and room service (Rose) staff are always friendly and efficient. I have tried other downtown Calgary hotels but always come back...

After reading the reviews below I was somewhat sceptical about this hotel. We have a 6 night reservation here and had already discussed changing hotels if we didn't like it. We've been here 2 nights already and we plan to stay. While the comments regarding the front desk staff do seem to be true (not bad service, just decidedly unfriendly... More

The hotel is near the end of the free C-train downtown Calgary, and is across the street from the Plus 15 walkways that keep you out of inclement weather. The rooms were clean. The bed was a tad too hard for me. I found that all over Canada, so it may be their "thing..." Not sure. The food in the... More

Thank you very much for your response and I was pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. I understand your frustration with the parking situation in front of the hotel and have addressed it several times with the City of Calgary parking authority. The space out front is public space and the city controls all signage and... More

I stayed at the Ramada downtown calgary for the weekend to attend a conference. There are some wear and tear but overall, the location was good and the stay was comfortable enough. It was the St.Patrick's weekend so I expected the area to be quite loud and it was. The bellman was very friendly but the reception staff were either... More

I've stayed at this hotel a few times for business in the past 6 years. The price is reasonable for its good location downtown. The restaurant is nothing special. My last trip was Feb 19 - 21, 2012. I was wakened the first night at 12:30AM by drunken yahoos in the next room. The worst one was a loud woman... More

My room was fine, a bit worn but clean and comfortable. I did not care for the lobby at all, nor did I find the restaurant in the lobby any good what so ever.
