Excellent hotel for a short stay in downtown Calgary
Pros:

I had arrived by long-distance bus (from Vancouver) and as the bus was delayed, it was midnight by the time I arrived. I was tired and ready for a shower and bed. The hotel was kitty-corner to the bus depot so very convenient and I was warmly welcomed at the front desk in spite of the hour. The receptionist had taken note of my request to be on a high floor and away from the elevator for which I was grateful. The room was sizeable, comfortable and the bathroom clean. I slept wonderfully! In the morning, the receptionist recommended a nearby cafe to buy a sandwich to take on my next bus ride - it was excellent!

Cons:

Nothing!

Nice hotel with annoying parking!
Pros:

Clean, modern room with a very comfortable bed and good amenities.

Cons:

The valet parking took a long time as there is a severe lack of room in the lay-by. Lots of cars were pulled up waiting for people to come to them, as well as people waiting to disembark. The valet was trying his best but it took 40+ minutes to get out the car and was over priced on this basis.

Pros:

The staff was amazing
Everything was clean and warm although it was a bit moody weather
The staff in the restaurant were so welcoming and nice. They have even recognized us from previous years, and I am so grateful for that!

Cons:

The food
I don't know what happened, but either the chef is different or they changed suppliers
For example, the ham in breakfast was so sour and had an odd taste - I couldn't eat it.
The potatoes were so overdone that we couldn't chew them.
We ended up leaving half of our breakfasts both days

Pros:

Nice room … good location … helpful staff

Cons:

Stayed 2 nights … after 1st night came back at 4.30pm …room not made up … not an issue … just an inconvenience… had to go back to reception for coffee / etc.
We had booked ‘with breakfast’ … bit of confusion at checkout as we were charged for breakfast ‘because we didn’t present our vouchers’ that we were never given or asked for.
