Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel is in a good location for walking to bars & restaurants, especially in 17th Ave. Free underground secure parking is useful. Inside, the decor is old and clearly in need of updating, but there is a notice in the lobby describing the 2022/23 renovation. My suite on the 16th (top) floor was spacious but again, looked like a relic from the 70's with outdated furniture and facilities! The windows do not seal such that traffic noise was irritating during the night. Would I stay again - probably not.

The room and hallways were outdated and retro but still clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. We had a bizarre issue with the check-in where the front desk tried to tell us our reservation had been cancelled months prior, which was not true. We didn't cancel our reservation, and if they did on their end they never notified us of it. In fact, I was still receiving emails about checking in for my reservation the day before we arrived, so it was very stressful and confusing to get there and be told our reservation was cancelled months ago. Luckily they still had rooms for us, but still. Get your reservation and notification system sorted out.

Dear Katie212121; Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel! We are glad to learn you found our property clean and our all suite rooms with kitchens. Regarding your booking, the only reason a reservation would be canceled and a notice sent, is if an invalid credit card is provided.

The hotel was clean, friendly staff, and has underground parking so felt safe. Hotel is really close to Safeway for buying snacks and drinks for the teenagers. It is about a 15 minute walk to metro. I would stay again.

The room was very clean and the took good care of us mostly for the entire trip. The only thing was realizing in the middle of the night that we had no bedding for the pull out couch in the suite. And we had to go to the front desk to retrieve some as they would not bring any up. Also they were out of pillows so my first night I did not sleep with one.

This was a very nice hotel with friendly staff and a nice big King suite with a comfy bed. Jose checked us in quickly and was very helpful. Great view from the 11th floor, and breakfast was excellent and extremely busy. Great location as well. I highly recommend this hotel.

Our Room was very Clean and most of the staff was friendly and very helpful. We stayed there for the Calgary Stampede. It's walkable to the Stampede (25 minutes) but taking the Red Line to the Stampede was a better option (about a 10 minute walk). The reason I gave the hotel a 3 star rating was the overall condition of our room. It was in need of an update. Carpet had several patches and some of the wall paper had been patched over. It was a good value. It I could have given it a 3.5 rating I would have.

Charged me a no show fee when I stayed the two nights that I pre-paid for. When asked for a solution or explaination they advise "that's just how is it". Solution was to next time "cancel" my reservation and wing it when trying to book my hotel stay

Dear N9510CTlaurab; Thank you for taking the time to complete a review! I urge you to check your credit card statement. As advised, on another review that you were only charged for the 2 nights you stayed. The reason the first night shows a "no show" is that you showed up after midnight at which time our system will check in as a no show as you have a guaranteed booking. Please contact me directly at the hotel and I will be more than happy to assist you in understanding your bill. Hopefully, we can speak soon. Regards, George

Great Hotel, Centrally Located. We arrived way too early for check in but were able to store our bags behind reception so we could go have some breakfast. Staff were amazing! After breakfast they offered us early check in for a $30 fee. We were happy to pay it so we could decompress after a long flight! The room was large and well equipped. We had a city view on the 14th floor. It was an ok room. My observation is that this hotel has been doing some upgrades, which is why the lobby and common area's are so nice and newer looking, but some of the floors and rooms are not yet renovated. We had an unrenovated room, but it was still great for us. A little old smelling, but I sprayed some room freshener and it was perfect! There are some cool places in the area...suck as the
