For 2 senior female relatives and myself (30-something hospitality manager,) we required three seperate sleeping areas due to various sleep disorders but were happy to share facilites such as the bathroom and didn't want to pay $500 a night for three seperate hotel rooms. For the cost of one standard hotel room we had a two bedroom suite at the... more

It was better! It was in a great location, right downtown, close to the C-train and you could walk anywhere. The staff were good, the suite was clean. There's secure parking too. I did find the room warm at night, but once I found the air conditioning that was fixed quickly. Overall, for the price, which really was the cheapest... more

I was on a West Coast business trip with stops in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. I made the mistake of not doing enough research on the "5 Calgary Downtown Hotel". The trouble started after we landed in Calgary and contacted the hotel to see if they had a shuttle which the woman who answered indicate there was. Suffice it... more

From outside, it doesn't look nice, but I LOVED it. I like suite - seprate living and kitchen with all amenity. Very spaceious and feel like a home. Decent gym and there is summer time only pool, which was not open when I stayed. I stayed at pricier hotels in Calgary before, but I'd come back to '5" again. This... more

It's all downhill from there. This place was obviously an old apartment building from the 1950's. The "suites" are actually small apartments, most without balconies. The kitchen cupboards are original (i.e. 50 years old) as are the bathroom vanities. The vanity top in my bathroom was (no kidding) fake plastic marble from the '50s in the traditional '50s pink and... more

I stayed here for 2 days at the end of a trip in the Rockies. I wanted something cheap close to downtown and this was the best value I could find. I wasn't disappointed with the location, it was great. The price wasn't too cheap but for the room I got for the price it was excellent value. The check-in... more

Clean, quiet, spacious, reasonably priced and excellent downtown location for business. Not a brand new interior and fixtures, but all in good condition and clean. Bed and furnishings very comfortable, service excellent, staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant very good. Speedy room service. Suite was a little on the warm side when we arrived but this was very easily solved by... more

We were in town for a conference and booked into the 5 based on proximity to conference. Mistake! Front lobby looked great (Deceiving) because the entire rest of the hotel was filthy, dated and disgusting. Our room was SO noisy, we could literally hear the telephone conversations of the guests in the adjacent rooms. It was very old and worn... more

We were 2 couples touring BC and Ab in September / October. After much reserach selected this location mainly because of location and price. We paid $203 for a 2 Bedroom suite with kitchen, and that is OK in my books. The suite was very clean and spacious and well equipped.The decor is dated but reaonably maintained. The staff were... more
