Great motel in calgary
Pros:

Stayed here for 1 night after a long haul flight and it was great place. It was an easy drive from the airport and check-in was easy and quick. The room was a good size and clean with a comfy bed. The staff was friendly the whole stay and even phoned the room to see if everything was ok. Breakfast was good with a range of different foods including freshly made pancakes (yummy) would stay again if I was coming to calgary.

Very nice
Pros:

This hotel was quite nice to stay at. It was really nice to be able to relax at the pool at the end of the day. It was also nice being pretty close to everything as well.

Cons:

It was a little bit of an inconvenience that the elevator buttons weren't working on our floor so we would have to go down one flight of stairs before getting the elevator. This was more difficult when we were leaving and had all of our luggage. Other than that everything was great!

Für eine Nacht ok. I'm
Pros:

Gute Verkehrsanbindung, eigentlich ruhige Lage.

Cons:

Matratzen waren eigentlich durch und das Hotel hat die besten Jahre hinter sich. Für eine Nacht okay. Aber hinter unserem Zimmer war eine Art Stromgenerator und der war sehr laut, an und aus und an.
