Pros:

Cons:

price
Lobby was small and felt very crowed.
Waiting time at the guest register station was long.
Narrow driveway, parking lot, and many turn on street to get to the hotel.

A fine hotel, but falls short in the awkward AC controls. Very awkward for an older person.
Pros:

Fine breakfast. Great bath. Quiet. Handy parking.

Cons:

Heater/AC controls hard to see and use at near floor level esp. for elderly person. Need a remote and instruction. No reading lamp by couch and bedside lamp inadequate. Irving board had lumpy, I'll fitting cover. Awkward.

Great option if you are heading out of Calgary towards Banff.
Pros:

This is a great location if you are heading out of Calgary in the direction of Banff. We decided to stay here rather than at the airport and therefore cut 25 minutes off our journey to Banff the next morning.
The staff were helpful with our questions.

Cons:

It was all good for what we needed, which was a quick overnight stopover.

Cons:

The to lit didn't flush later in evening. No help from desk. No hand rails on tub. Fell and required hospital visit. This may result in lawsuit.
