Will not stay again

Weekend trip for sport. Reviews looked good, but, area of the city was identified in our navigation as a restricted region. Upon looking this up it meant a high drug trafficking region with severe caution to not go out after dusk. I drove a truck and this resulted in no underground parking. I was provided with a fee a parking stall through the back alley to an underground stall in the next building over. This area was teaming with homeless people and the actual parking stall barely, I mean barely fit my truck. I had to let my wife out before parking, I squeezed out of my door and then could not fit between the pillar and my truck - so I climbed over the back of my truck onto the next and got out. So between feeling unsafe and a horrible parking stall and environment - would not recommend. Staff friendly and hotel clean. Hot tub not working. Moxies was descent. Our room king bed was reasonable with kitchenette. Full view of the neighborhood watching the homeless and drug activity at the local circle K. ambulance, fire and police were on site every few hours. When it came to getting our room cleaned this was not good. We put the tag outside the door for fresh bedding / towels and after first night no one came, so we thought we did not do something right. Long story short we went three days with no cleaning and had to call for towels. Hotel comped the parking and took a bit off for not cleaning. Will not stay again.

The room was soooo noisy. We were on the 21st floor but the walls must be so thin that you can hear your neighbors using the washroom. The air conditioning was so loud and just all the noises in general made it impossible to sleep.

This was our first time staying at the Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel, and we were really impressed. It was also the only hotel that was able to accommodate us last minute for an overnight stay, which we greatly appreciated. During check-in, the front desk staff was very kind and welcoming, and they explained clearly why a deposit was required for having our pet with us, which made the process smooth and easy. The room was tidy and well-prepared, making us feel comfortable right away. The only small issue we noticed was when I went to hang some clothes and saw the digital safe. On top of it, there was a used cigarette that must have been left behind by a previous guest. Since this is a non-smoking, pet-friendly room, it was a bit concerning to find. Hopefully, housekeeping can pay closer attention to those details in the future, so that everything feels completely fresh for the next guests. Aside from that, everything else during our stay was excellent—we were comfortable, felt welcomed, and overall enjoyed our time here. 😊

Parking was free just a couple years ago. Parking also used to have more spots on the upper levels but now they’re reserved. Now you have to go down to level 4-5 to find a spot. And in that area being down there isn’t safe. A huge issue was that only one elevator went down to the parkade so if someone from the lobby used it you would have to wait 5-7 minutes for the elevator. I will not be staying here again and it’s very unfortunate because it’s been my favourite hotel in Calgary since 2011
