We stayed here in a 2 bedroom suite with our kids for two nights. Check in was smooth, parking ($21 a day) was easy and felt safe. Staff was friendly. We stayed on a floor that hadn’t been renovated yet, and while it was a bit outdated (which doesn’t bother us) it was clean and in relatively good shape. The kitchen was adequately equipped for our needs. AC worked really well. Beds were comfortable, and linens were fine. We did have to call down to get linens for the pull out bed, which was kind of a pain after a long day. The mattress on the pullout was also not the greatest, but I’ve slept on worse. One of the high lights was the free breakfast; the choices were great, and we had it both mornings we were there. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, and will look at staying here again in future.

Out dated, needs upgrade badly!!!!!
Staff wasnt as friendly as last year's stay. Parking is always so limited. Food was cold- eggs and sausage. Fruit was expired- tasted terrible and warm- like it came off a fruit platter I would buy at Superstore. The room smelled musty, the air conditioner was so loud. The water from the tap and the ice from the machine tasted moldy and old. The bathroom was cleanish- around the bathtub there was black mold or decay. I had to ask for extra blankets and pillows, considering we had a third guest in our rooom forthe sofa bed. Was given some attitude about having my friends husband stay in the room with us- almost like a judgement; as I had mentioned it was last minute and he was coming in late. The sofa bed was extremely uncomfrtable with springs coming out. No soft mattress. The plug ins by the bed did not work and we woke up to almost dead phones. The duvet had stains on it- as if it was grease or oil. The carpet in the hallways were dirty and looked as if they hadnt been cleaned in years. The wall paper around the elevators are coming off and cracking. The elevator had this terrible old musty smell. This property needs an upgrade bad!!!!!! Will not stay there again. Gave it a second chance after last year, but not again. Do not stay here....

2 bedroom apartment stay with a 2year old
We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. We had 5 people, 2 children under three and 3 adults. It was accommodating. Enough room to sleep 6 adults. We requested a crib and they provided one( a playpen). It worked perfectly for our 2 year old. We took advantage of the full kitchen. And the complimentary breakfast was an added plus. Only complaints from my dad were, the doors stuck in the bedrooms, the furniture was stained, and the shower curtain was worn out. That being said. My family of 4 had a very comfortable stay and liked having the extra room for my 2 year old to run around in. We were close to the zoo and a grocery store. Location was perfect for us. We would stay again if we.go back to Calgary. Staff was very friendly and helpful
