The hotel's location is very convenient, close to the main center street for easy exploring, and perfect for those flying out with car rental and shuttle services nearby. The rooms, though undergoing refurbishment, offered a comfortable stay, despite some noise from the elevator. The service was accommodating and helpful, although disturbed by late-night street noise. The dining options could use more variety for the price, and the facilities were overall satisfactory.

The hotel offers beautiful, clean, and comfortable rooms, with a nice modern kitchen and lounge area. However, the bathroom was tiny. The service, though not very competent initially, improved as the staff became apologetic and did their best. The location is excellent for exploring the city, shopping, and dining. The dining experience was great, but the prices were on the higher side. Overall, a decent value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and enormous, which was a pleasant surprise. However, there were some construction deficiencies and missing items like irons. The service was accommodating and helpful, but one staff member seemed put off when I requested amenities. The location was convenient for exploring Chinatown, but I found a cigarette butt in the room upon arrival. The dining options were mediocre with a poor choice of fruit, but the grilled meats were fantastic. Overall, the facilities had some issues but were bearable.

The hotel rooms were large and clean, well-appointed, but lacked utensils for cooking and eating in. The lower price was possibly due to ongoing construction.

The hotel had some positive aspects like the great downtown location and being walking distance to various sights. However, the rooms lacked cleanliness and had a smoke smell, though there were no cigarette mess or ash present. The service was a bit inconsistent, with issues like the room not being available upon return, but the staff were helpful with directions around the city. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good meals but also burnt bacon on one occasion.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Calgary, offering amazing views from the comfortable rooms. While the discount seemed like a good deal, it turned out to be similar to the group rate. The service, though gentle and kind, had its ups and downs with room service using the same elevators and some noise disturbances on Friday nights. The location is perfect for downtown access with easy connections to shopping areas, although it may lack some amenities. Dining options are basic, and there could be more variety for the price, but the French products stand out. Overall, the facilities provide a comfortable stay, with some minor inconveniences to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, despite being large, had an unpleasant smell reminiscent of feet, which was a downside for me. On the bright side, the balcony suite offered ample space to move around. The service was a bit off-putting when I asked for amenities, but the staff was excellent in guiding me through the use of the +15 walkways to navigate the area conveniently. The location was both annoying and convenient; while it wasn't hard to find, there was the unpleasant sight of a cigarette butt upon my arrival. The dining options were hit or miss, with some days offering good food while other days presenting burnt items and stale pastries. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were quite good, although improvements could be made. The affordability of my stay was reasonable, considering the value for money.

Staying at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, while being renovated to resemble executive suites, felt like a freezer albeit spacious and homey. The service, despite the friendly staff, had some hiccups with construction issues and room availability. The location was central, making it easy to explore the area, yet disturbances from nearby events were a downside. The dining experience, included in the price, offered good but limited options. The facilities were fairly minimal but adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel has very friendly and helpful staff, with clean and spacious rooms. However, the old door might cause future issues, and the technology in the bedroom part of the suite is outdated and not effective for cooling.

The hotel has room for improvement, with unfinished rooms lacking basic amenities like crockery and utensils, and with hair found in the bathroom. However, the service was mixed, with a nice and forthcoming attitude overall, marred only by the unhelpful desk manager. The location is convenient for quick visits to Calgary, being centrally situated and close to the airport, albeit needing some maintenance attention. The dining experience offers a basic selection but was met with disappointment due to the non-operational breakfast service.
