We have lived overseas since 1986 and have stayed at some very basic accommodation in places like Tibet, Thailand, and a border town in Malaysia where we had to padlock ourselves in, yet never had we had anywhere such an unbelievable experience as we did in Calgary. It was Stampede Week and it seemed the entire city was booked. We... more

This was possibly the worst hotel, that I have ever stayed. Rooms , was dirty, carpet filthy, smelled of smoke, room was old and worn out and was badly in need of upgrading cost was $111.00 for a single, note that I would not have brought a wife into this motel. more

I was in Calgary and decided to spend the night before travelling to Banff. I drove to motel village, first to a different hotel and ended up being fully booked. If i knew motel village was right beside mcmahon stadium, i wouldn't have tried to find a hotel there. There was unfortunately a game the night we showed up. That... more

This motel was, quite simply, terrible. The walls are thin so you can hear everything your neighbor is saying and doing. The door in the second building slams loudly anytime someone comes or goes. The rooms were of a questionable cleanliness (mysterious "white" stains on the carpet, if you catch my drift). Rooms designated as non-smoking had clearly been smoked... more

This Ramada Limited is situated conveniently in the "Motel Village" off of the Trans-Canada Highway in western Calgary. Unfortunately, that is about all that can be said favorably about this property. The decore is early-90s "Forest Green and Burgundy with Floral Motifs" and looks every bit of that era (including the dirt on the carpets, which appears that old too).... more

We were so deceived by the website photos. We thought we found a reasonably priced, clean hotel. We should have known what we were getting into when we arrived and the sign was offering "Beds for Sale". There were mattresses propped up in the hallways and our non-smoking room was peppered with cigarette burns. The TV did not work and... more

Four of my friends and I ended up staying one night here (during the Calgary Stampede) and i will never consider staying here again. Unfortunately this was one of the only places left with vacancy as the Stampede is probably the busiest time of the year for tourists to the city. Here are a bunch of random things I can... more

I stayed at the Ramada Limited in Calgary for one week in February 2007, from the 19th to the 26th, and it was a positive surprise. Having read a number of sub-standard review of the place ("worst place I ever stayed at", and stuff like that), I did not expect much. But what I experienced was quite frankly an average... more

Unbelieveable. When we arrived, the hotel was not busy at all (it was 12:30 at night), and when I tried to ask the front desk agent a few questions, he was extremely rude. When we got to our room, it looked as though someone had tried to break in with a crowbar, and the lock was broken. When we asked... more
