Had a two night stay and pleasantly
Surprised at the quality and value for what was provided. Comfortable bed, clean etc - not a full
set of amenities in room such as vanity kits, robes but all the core stuff provided was great. (Towels were threadbare so suggest an improvement there)

Definitely as advertised and really like this area - new,clean and a growing abundance of restaurants and shops surround plus good location to base from in Calgary. Service was excellent - easy check in and not a lot required from staff honestly so limited experience in that regard but all was just fine. Parking is $20 a day but secure underground and not unreasonable contrary to other complaints (it’s not a motel)

Will stay again.

Came to visit Calgary/Banff area for 5 nights. Our stay here was pretty good overall.||To keep it simple, I’ll tell you the good and bad.||Good:|- Very modern|- Incredibly clean. Spotless.|- There’s an electronic blackout shade that rolls down. Not 100% effective but it does a decent job.|- Nespresso machine in the room that makes a really good coffee|- Close to a lot of restaurants and even a grocery store across the street|- Staff is pretty friendly.|- Views from the hotel are nice||Bad:|- Bed is incredibly stiff and pillows aren’t that great either.|- Tv channels are incredibly limited. No A&E or HGTV… like cmon. Get with the program. They do have tsn and sportsnet tho.|- Rooms offer ZERO sound proofing. Can hear doors slam shut down the hall as they are very heavy doors. You can also hear lots of road noise even from the 9th floor|- No safe in the room|- Fridge is pretty small||If you book through Expedia or any 3rd party, they will allow a 12pm checkout. If you book directly through the hotel they offer 2pm checkout.||Highly recommend OEB breakfast next to the hotel. The food there was great.||Overall, the stay was good but if you value the comfort of beds, I wouldn’t recommend staying here for an extended period.

Extremely disappointing. Very poor business practices. A hotel that is already high priced offers underground parking, like any other hotel in the world. What they don’t tell you is that it cost $20 per day extra. They ask if you want parking you say yes, and they just get you to put in your email address and plate number. They quickly click some buttons and it flashes before your eyes that there’s a fee. But they mention nothing. I just happened to see a glimpse of a $ sign and asked if there was a fee and he told me yes for the three nights it will be $60. This is ridiculous. This is unheard of. There’s nothing that special about the parking, you can barely squeeze a small car into a parking space and you’re at risk of having your car hit by the car beside you. I also asked if there were Tesla chargers and they said yes… but the chargers don’t fit a Tesla. We will be cancelling the remainder of our stay and finding a better hotel to stay at. Very very disappointed.

Additionally, tiny rooms. No fridge. I’m not sure what I walked into, but in all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at, this is decorated nicely, but it is a pretty mask on a terribly serviced and overpriced hotel.

Nice staff member who greeted us, though. He should go and work at a nice hotel. He’d do really well.

This is my second time staying at this hotel for work and each time I have the best time. The location cannot be beat - restaurants, grocery stores and great coffee shops are close by, the rooms are massive and beds are comfortable - they also stock each bathroom which really awesome products (moisturizer, hand soap, etc)

I had ordered food and Uber didn’t bring it up to my room, but the front desk staff did! Such great service and I really enjoyed my stay for a second time!

Wir haben uns im Hotel sehr wohlgefühlt. Wir wurden total nett empfangen und das Zimmer war sowohl sauber als auch ausreichend groß für zwei Nächte. Wir hatten erst Sorge, dass wir mit dem Hotel zu weit außerhalb der Stadt sind. Aber es war eigentlich gut so, denn in der Nähe gibt es genug Restaurants, Cafés und einen Supermarkt mit Apotheke, sodass es uns an nichts gefehlt hat. Zudem wird dort gerade ein neuer District erschlossen und es wirkte deutlich ruhiger und angenehmer als in der Innenstadt, was uns deutlich besser gefiel, wenn man gerade aus den Nationalparks kam 😅

We used this hotel for our wedding accommodation as we had friends and family coming from many locations and this property is easily accessible and has lots of parking options! Plus the University District area has so many great amenities. The hotel is super clean, the rooms are nice and the staff are lovely! We had a bottle of wine and a card waiting for us in our room which was extra sweet!
