Nice property in the center of Calgary
Pros:

The hotel is very well located, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Calgary and the city's main attractions.
The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help.

Cons:

The lobby is quite outdated and need a renovation to make it more inviting.
The window insulation of the room is poor, and the heating/air conditioning system is very noisy.

コスパベスト
Pros:

通りに面して立地が良かった。部屋もキレイ

Cons:

部屋にペットボトル水のサービスなし。ロビーにウェルカムドリンクとしてレモン入れの水があったが、それとは別に館内で水を補充できる場所わからなかった(そもそもないのかもしれない)
一階のコンビニの閉店が早すぎて、徒歩5分以上歩いた所で水を買うしかなかった。

A good, comfortable stay spoilt only by the grossly inefficient elevator/lift in the mornings.
Pros:

Staff were very helpful, friendly and courteous. Very good location, one block from the tramline (streetcar).
I particularly enjoyed breakfast at this hotel where all the crockery (real plates) and stainless steel cutlery was washed and reused, rather than the usual, shockingly wasteful practice of using all disposable plates and plastic cutlery. Cloth napkins/serviettes were another nice touch.
Car valet service was professional and very good.

Cons:

The housekeeping staff routinely blocked up the two elevators/lifts while going about their work. I realise they have important work to do, but house guests should not be kept waiting interminably for an elevator. I also understood (from a staff member's comments) that the service elevator had been out of service for a year or longer. That's unacceptable.

Great location, but very cold rooms
Pros:

Great location, clean and comfy.

Cons:

It was super cold. 0 degrees outside and the heating not working, which seemed like known by the staff. After telling the staff the third time, we finally received a portable heater. Thanks to the gentlemen working the evening shift on our second day.

Reasonable hotel for a short stay in Calgary
Pros:

The hotel was in the center what I needed for my trips, the room was big and comfortable, clean , had balcony with a view, beds were comfortable, coffee and thee in the room, staff at reception was friendly and helpful, I could get much earlier in my room that was a big plus

Cons:

The balcony I had had thin windows and there were a lot of noise from outside from the street, shouting and cars racing at night, I regretted the this side of the hotel, then hotel needs renovations of its premises as it is very outdated, the rest worked fine.
