Econo Lodge was an excellent choice for me, exceptionally clean and an excellent price point.
Pros:

I was looking for a location close to The Foothills Hospital. I wanted something very clean but not overly expensive because I was only there to sleep and then I went back to the hospital for the whole day. The King bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

My room had quite a bit of road noise but I was close to The Banff Trail. There were other rooms further back from the road that would have been quieter but road noise does not really bother me that much so I didn’t bother moving rooms.

Not good costumer service at all
Pros:

Convenient location for my needs. It has a pool which was nice for the athletes.

Cons:

They put me and my youth athletes in an outdoor room (it wasn't listed as such on my booking). Then made me pay more per night for each room inside the hotel. For the price I ended up having to pay, I could have stayed somewhere else that was nicer, in the same area. They were not accommodating or apologetic at all to the fact it was there mistake. The continental breakfast was very minimal.

Ancexcellent location in Calgary at a good price.
Pros:

This was an excellent location for us, only a five minute drive to a surgical facility. In the main building, everything was accessible for someone with difficulties walking. The small suite had a basic kitchen, required because we could not go out to restaurants. Not too fancy, but clean and suited our needs very well. Staff were pleasant.

Cons:

Breakfast could have a few more items like yogurt, bananas and slightly larger cereal bowls. Not really a complaint though.
