Everything was great and the overall rating would have been an Excellent if not for one of the two elevators being out of service for three of the days we stayed at the hotel. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in Calgary.

Overpriced and under-serviced

Disappointed that parking in a non downtown area was $20 per night and the one working elevator was so slow that it became continually congested. For the price I won't be back. The hotels in the University hotels village are normally at better price point with free parking and a breakfast service included.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Although the property was indeed modern, the room lacked any drawers and very limited closet space. Noise from our neighbour was rather disturbing as 3:00 am music easily heard as exuberant activity was seemingly enjoyed by the lady next door for an extended period. Other competitors in the region have parking included along with buffet breakfast and yet not at this property. We would likely not return again to this property.
