Location is great if you live outer city limits and want to enjoy a night out downtown Calgary! 5 minute walk to 17th ave. Really appreciated the underground parking that comes with the room. The lobby looks nice, however the rooms are definitely out-dated. Was good for the purpose of our trip.

I went to Calgary for a quick getaway. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room was spotless and well appointed. Parking was great. I could park in the parking lot outside or underground. The location was great. I will return!

The hotel is very clean. The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond for their customers. The breakfast has everything you need to start your day off right. I love having the extra security feature of needing a room key to go up the elevator.

The kitchen was perfect, it's nice that it's tucked around a corner so you can be in there, while kids are sleeping and not disturbing them. Room was ready early as requested. Excellent location and staff were very helpful. Have stayed here 3 times this year and will be staying again.

Pretty standard hotel, nothing too special, currently in the middle of renovations so can get a little noisy during daytime hours. Staff were friendly and advised of construction noises and apologised. The stay was still very pleasant and would stay again

WATCH OUT FOR THEFT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD!!! Will charge extra after you leave for things that are supposed to be included free and told are free by front desk. The main Best Western company says they are independent and can't do anything about them, amounting to fraud. PLUS soon after fraudulent charges were on my same credit card after they charged more than they should have. BE WARY!!! Better to go to one of the much better other hotels nearby. Marriott has a selection downtown including cheap places and never causes such horrible issues. Room was broken, freezing cold coming in windows in winter, floor disgusting and coming up, super dirty. Bathroom very dated and DISGUSTING smell in room. Probably mold or chemical sprays for bugs.

Dear Adventuress_Ali, Thank you for your survey, however I would like to note that you had a 2nd vehicle, hence an additional charge. Your credit card company investigated your claim of fraud, and they declined to pursue the claim as you clearly signed acknowledging the charges. We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us and hope you find another hotel on your next trip that satisfies both your budget and expectations. We value our guests, as per our excellent surveys, regular guests, & long terms bookings. We wish you all the best. Regards,

In addition to friendly front desk, catering, and general staff, the location of the hotel on the Calgary Beltline was excellent. I walked to the entertainment district, Downtown, the stadium, and to the rivers in all directions. A very pleasant walk even in the winter to the scenic river. My room was on the higher floors facing the parking lot which has beautiful sunrise skyline views. Breakfast is included and has many items (much more that what I eat at home). Photos of the skyline and frozen river are attached.

I was here for an event in Calgary with a friend and booked the family suite so we could have our own bedroom. Hotel rooms are outdated but clean, good value and location. Close to 17th ave where all the bars and restaurants are and a 7 minute walk from the C-train station. Would stay here again.
