May be after constructions become better!

The hotel has a lot of potential, but there are a few areas that could use improvement. The furniture is a bit dated, and the sofa bed could be cleaner. While towels are provided, they may not always be as clean as expected (hair on some towels). Guests should be aware that extra sheets, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and additional toiletries need to be requested, which seems to be a common practice in many Canadian hotels. The two-bedroom suite comes with a small bottle of shampoo, which may not be sufficient for a group of five. Complimentary water is not provided, but there is a Keurig machine with four coffee pods, and guests can refill it with tap water. With a few enhancements, the experience could be much more comfortable.

Nice stay everytime

The only major disappointment is Hotels.com charging an extra fee for cancelation option although the hotel says they don’t and you can cancel for free up to 7 days prior. The hotel sent a confirmation of booking email stating that it runs renos so it’s loud during weekdays. So if I wanted to cancel my reservation ahead of time , I could loose my extra fee I paid which was about $16/night. This is my favorite hotel in Calgary any time I’ve been in Calgary. It’s spacious, it offers great service and a wealthy breakfast. It’s good value for the money and it’s conveniently located near cafe/dinner, transit, attractions , etc. Note: it’s the AC units are loud , there are old type that fit under the windows but if that was not a major issue .

This is not the first time we stayed at this hotel . We love the location and staff. More so since we can walk to the Saddledome to catch a hockey game . It's also close to 17 th ave. with all the restaurants / pubs . However this hotel is in desperate of need of new furniture / carpet . The couch in our room is all ripped / broken , the coffee table looks like it hasn't been clean in a long long time . .My husband had to fix the hook on the bathroom door ( to hang the wet towel )since it keep falling down . We love the location and staff but it need a lot of help
