“Comfortable stay Downtown West”

Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

Considering the higher prices charged for downtown hotels during the week this place is reasonably priced in a great location to walk around downtown or catch transit to your destination. I enjoyed being near the Bow River to walk the pathway. Front desk staff were very friendly. Price of room includes small selection of hot and cold items for breakfast... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our property, we always appreciate the feedback especially when there are so many options out there to choose from. We have just changed all of our mattresses but will be looking into additional pillow tops to adjust the softness as well in the future. We hope to see you again soon! More

“Not bad”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

Older hotel that has been upgraded to standard Holiday Inn Express standards. Room was good size and had a balcony. Loved being able to have a window that opened. Parking included in room rate, which is a deal in downtown Calgary where parking is only second to Manhattan in terms of cost. Staff were very friendly and acknowledged me and... More

“Great hotel!”

Reviewed April 9, 2013

Lovely newer hotel, spacious double queen room. Love the corner desk. Spotless room. The breakfast room is spacious, easy to get around even when busy, and the food was somehow better than most. Beautiful large pool. Close to the airport and lots of great restaurant options close to the hotel.

“Good hotel and good value for your money”

Reviewed March 16, 2013

I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for a hotel that has good value. Breakfast is included in the rate which is always a plus. I found the service here to be very good as well. The only downside was the elevators took a long time, but you can always take the stairs! My room was actually right outside... More

Overall, the hotel was nice and clean. The location is nice, walking distance to many bars restaurants. The hotel was typical of Holiday Inn, but the staff was exceptional.

“Still great service and value”

Reviewed February 8, 2013

I have stayed at this hotel on average of about once per month for the last year and a half. The staff is excellent, the location is and the building, while older, is clean. It is a good value for something on the edge of downtown Calgary which is probably one of the most expensive cities for hotels in Canada.... More

“Neat Hotel tucked away in downtown Calgary”

Reviewed January 23, 2013

Wow, have stayed in a lot of hotels, but this was one of the best. Given a room on the back of the hotel, had a nice little balcony, windows opened and it was very neat and clean. Certainly will stay at this hotel again, but it was pricey as are most downtown Calgary hotels.

The room was well furnished, with a very bright and clean bathroom, a larger than average flat screen TV. Bedding was very comfy. There was a fridge and microwave in the... More
