Very convenient and comfortable for 1 night stay
Pros:

We stayed for just one night during our flight layover, and we had an excellent experience. The free shuttle service and delicious breakfast were great perks. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We’d definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay!

never coming again.
Cons:

I have made this reservation on Aug 12th and mistakenly instead of Aug 13th I booked for Oct 13th. I went 13th August to Hotel but front office employee Gernman treated us very badly, even though I asked to pay and get new room he lied us saying no rooms. might be he dont wont to do work. and next day I kindly requested the refund as I live in Manitoba and for 1 night I cant drive to calgary but hotel havent considered.
