“Awesome little place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

Stayed one night while heading home on a cross-Canada road trip. A great motel with awesome, modern decor. We were walking distance to restaurants & a few pizza places, as well the motel is easily located. Staff were great - my ONLY concern was that we only stayed one night and the dog fee was $50. As we have a husky, I totally understand extra cleaning requirements, but I thought $50 was a bit steep - maybe $25 would of been better. But the included breakfast was a nice touch! Either way, we had a great stay and will recommend the place!

“Great stay for a great price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012 via mobile

Good value stay in Calgary. Good location to leave the city if heading for the mountain after a flight. Very clean and freshly renovated with modern amenities. Included breakfast. The noise from the highway didn't bother us and the girl on the front desk was very friendly. Nice change from the overpriced ordinary rooms in motel village.

“Good value, clean comfortable rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

Good value motel located on the outskirts of the city - perfect for us as we wanted to head out of the city the following day towards Banff. Rooms very modern and clean. Quite luxurious bathroom for a motel, plus really comfy bed. Even had breakfast thrown into the price - an added bonus.

“Excellent Motel with Great Customer Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

I stayed at The Centro for 1 month with my 2 daughters and small dog while I was in the process of moving. The staff were so kind to us and made us feel like we were at a home away from home. They ensured that we were well looked after by providing a larger fridge and a microwave in our room. They even allowed us to do our laundry on site. I consider the staff at this motel friends that I will keep in contact with. Our dog was welcomed with open arms (and pats), the room was always well cleaned, the breakfast was excellent and once again the staff went 'over the top' in their customer service ensuring that we were well taken care of. I would definitely stay here again and will highly recommend Centro Motel to any one coming into Calgary and needing a great place to stay.

“Took Us In Even When Fully Booked”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

Our experience at Centro was positive and refreshing. They had a keen eye for details and provided excellent customer service in our time of need. The airline company we were traveling with misplaced/delayed our luggage and therefore made it impossible for us to continue our trip as we required our luggage before heading to our next destination. Having landed in Calgary on our vacation and without our luggage, we decided to head to Centro for the night on the suggestion of family friends that had previously stayed there on their vacation. We found that Centro was centrally located and allowed for easy access to the downtown core as we wanted to explore the city further during our stay. The accommodations were great and the room was cozy.

However, where Centro really impressed us was with their professionalism and dedication to customer service. On the day we landed, we were promised by the airline carrier that they would courier our luggage to Centro at 7:30 AM the next morning. Our night at Centro went by excellently and we woke up refreshed the next morning anticipating the arrival of our luggage. As with all things requiring patience, we soon found ourselves growing nervous as
7:30 approached and our luggage was still nowhere in sight. Our checkout time was to be 11 AM and so we were on a tight schedule.

When 11 came around and our luggage had still not arrived, one of the managers approached us with a warm smile and told us that he had called the airline inquiring about our luggage and that the luggage was on its way to us via courier. He made sure we were comfortable in the lobby and gave us all the time we needed. He also told us to go see the city further and that he would wait for our luggage. Suffice to say, we were able to enjoy a day on the town and the manager called to let us know that he had checked on the status of our luggage only to be given the round-about by the airline company. He had also reserved us a room for the night despite having been booked solid for the day recognizing the possibility that perhaps we would not be able to make our flight for the day. Apparently there was a cancellation and he instantly reserved it for us. Having finished our exploration of the city, we headed back to our room at Centro for the night and found that our luggage had finally found its way to us...but not via the airline courier. The manager had personally driven to the airport to locate our luggage and found that the airline had blatantly lied to us and that the luggage would have never made it to us that day. The manager had known the urgency of our travel plans and so he went above and beyond to make sure that we could continue our travels. Although we were not able to make our flight that day, we did receive our luggage and we enjoyed another night at Centro before departing the next day. If we ever come back to Calgary, we will definitely revisit Centro for the excellent customer service provided.
