My mother and I stayed in Room 302 at Holiday Inn downtown Calgart and were very dissapointed with the service. We were granted a late check out at 1 pm. On our last day the receptionist called us informing us that people are coming to install blinds and new items in the room. I asked the receptionist to have them come in 2 hours as we will then check-out. He again called and said they cannot wait and have to access the room and that it would take ONLY 15 MINUTES. I sighed and agreed to have them come over (biggest mistake!). 3 men entered our room (was just me and my mother in that room). These men stayed with us in our room for over 50 minutes causing a lot of disruptive noises and talking about their personal lives not bothering if guests are in the room. It mades us feel very uncomfortable . The lack of communication or courtesy from Holiday Inn Staff is unaccepable. Based from previous reviews, I have to agree they completely disregard their guest. Honestly if this is how they treat people , they should not be in the hospitality business. We will never return and do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

In my 7 years of working in hospitality I don’t think I’ve ever seen people so unwilling to offer help or resolution to a problem, it all started on the reception where they profoundly REFUSED to accept anything else but a physical credit card, since I’m from Europe I don’t use a credit card but I had one in my Apple Pay and they refused to take that too, I finally solved with a card that is not strictly debit and they agreed to accept it after like 10 minutes of an argument where the front desk lady only repeated that it’s their policy and was very unwilling to provide any other solution. It would all somehow fine if we didn’t come to our room that smelt by cigarettes right after opening the door, they sent a cleaning lady that came to our room to persuade us that there is no cigarette smell even though she must have smelled it and even ended suggesting if we didn’t do that and told us to really not smoke because they charge big fee (none of us are smokers and we really hate the cigarette smell)

Although it is conveniently located to downtown, the rooms are just average. When we arrived, our bathroom sink was totally clogged...something the housekeeping staff should have noticed when cleaning the room. There is a park 1 block away that attracts a lot of homeless. We walked by it to downtown without an incident, but I would not walk there at night alone. Otherwise, breakfast was good and staff was very friendly.
