“Ordinary airport hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012

Only offered an hourly shuttle, so add another 20 CAD to the room price for a taxi.
Food in the restaurant was terrible and room was poor.
Totally non smoking hotel. Nothing to recommend it really. Not that close to the airport. Probably better to go for the on airport hotels.

“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012 via mobile

My friend and I arrived here pretty jaded after a road trip from Vancouver, do this was just what the doctor ordered.

Room was big and clean, the beds comfortable, the bathroom modern and the travel hair dryer excellent.

The bar food was also excellent, although the service a little slow, but it suited our needs.

Wine list poor, but I have been spoilt with fine Canadian wines during our road trip, so it wasn't the end of the world.

We didn't have time to use the pool, so can't comment on that.

Room with two Queen sized beds, dinner, wines, night caps and b/f for a little over $200 for one night.

Highly recommended.

“Better than reviews indicated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

I booked the Radisson through Hotwire and when I saw the hotel name my jaw dropped. Based on the TripAdvisor reviews I was terrified to stay there - thinking the worst.
When I checked in I let the front desk clerk (Karan) know my hesitation to stay. I did almost eat the room and stay elsewhere. The Radisson in it's day was a great hotel. It is an older hotel but from my experience they are trying to provide a decent stay for the price. No it is not the Hyatt or Marriott downtown but it is a decent hotel. No bugs, furniture in fair shape, number bed interesting. Yes the room doors do not go to the floor and you can hear all the comings and goings in the hall. And if someone above you chooses to move furniture, you hear that too.
Would I stay again - possibly for an overnight. Not for an extended period of time. I have a favourite in the area and they are less than the Radisson.
As I mentioned, Karan did his best to make sure I had a good room and was comfortable. The cafe clerk did her best to make me a nice latte when I left.

“Not bad.. but beds were smelly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 25, 2012

If you look at downtown and the costs associated with the parking you would surely want something cheap. Radisson doesnt weigh heavy on your pockets. I booked for a single King size bed with a sofa-bed option. The room was good but the beds had a bad odour. We did not use the hotel shuttle nor their restaurant so wont be able to comment. Its not too far from downtown. I would prefer a place as such as downtown is too crowded.There is a Shell petrol station next to the Radisson airport hotel and there are also some options for food - in addition to those provided in house. Only a few minutes walk from the hotel there is a local bus which takes you to a train/ tram station if you like to go downtown without car or taxi. about 2.75$ i gues for a one way. Internet is not the best. There are some restaurants around. Some of the other reviewers have explained it much better See Reisekurre. Overall a 4

“Don't recommend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2012

Stayed here once and it was good. But since then the hotel check in has been just awful. From upping the price of room from booking amount to relagating people with pets to ground floor only...like we are undesirables or something. This place pretends to be better than it actually is. Now perhaps it is different management or just terrible clerks but things sure used to be different when we stay near top floor with dog and were charged what was agreed on. So BEWARE!

Thank you for sharing, as it is very important for us to know if we have not met your needs, and apologize that we were not able to do so with your last visit. As you mentioned, you have enjoyed our hotel before, and know we can regain your trust.
It is important to note that we try to assign rooms on the ground floor for pets, due to the fact that you can walk-out of the rooms from the patios, making it easier to walk pets if needed outside. Should this not be a preference, arrangements can always be made in advance.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with your room pricing comment, however, would be happy to discuss. Please feel free to contact me directly, mberube@silverbirchhotels.com, or by telephone, 403-250-6050.
I thank you again for sharing, and look forward to hearing from you.
