We ordered room with river view, instead we had view on parking lot. Really discomfortable that you don’t have some flip flops after the shower, doors need big push to get locked, light switches not by the night stand by the bed. Room was comfortable, bit and nice bathtub.

A beautiful large room with quality fittings and bed. Plenty of room for 2 large suitcases, large and comfortable bathroom with quality towels and accessories. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast included - simple but very welcome. And within the lovely Kensington Village locale with great cafes and restaurants and a wonderful village vibe. Just across the bridge from downtown Calgary. Highly recommend this great hotel.

Was unable to stay at the hotel as they could not accommodate our family (queen room and only one roll out). We had to find another hotel and would not allow us to cancel two weeks prior to our reservation. Really unfortunate.

Lovely high-scale B&B style. Bed very comfortable. Room was very warm to sleep and no a/c. They should have a small fan in the room would've made our stay more enjoyable. Nice location to Kensington village area.
