i would never book this again. i booked early check i , and was told to come back later. they have cheap plastic flip flop shoes you are supposed to wear to your room. It is not an Inn, it is a boarding house, it is totally misrepresented. I had to go and book a different room, and booking is not refundable, so it was a waste of money

I was visiting Calgary for a work conference and needed an affordable place to stay within short driving distance to the BMO Centre and this place was perfect! The host family was really nice and attentive and my room was extremely comfortable. It was slightly warm in the room but after mentioning it to Kim she brought me a fan! I would definitely stay here again if I ever visit Calgary and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay that’s close to downtown.

Place looks more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, but the place was beautiful and well kept. It was close to downtown and Kensington, but far cheaper. John and Kim were very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

John and Kim were amazing hosts. They were very attentive and answered any and all questions we had about the house. The inn is gorgeous. The location is great, a very quick drive to downtown. A quick walk around the corner to some shops and restaurants as well. Absolutely lovely, will definitely stay again.

The windows in the room didn’t close which led to a very noisy and restless night for us from the noise outside on the streets at night and early morning. Also the bed mattress was kind of sloping on my side of the bed. It was very uncomfortable. Other than that it was Ok for the price.

Expensive for what you get. Not for everyone.

The photos on line and some of the reviews suggest this is a pretty nice place. However, the room we had was just a room in someone’s basement. No view, dark (just typical basement window below ground level) and felt drafty and cold. There was a leak under the bathroom sink and a ceiling light that kept coming on by itself during the night until we unscrewed the bulb. Even though this was a king room and there were only 2 of us, we were charged for an extra person. Also, the rules are no shoes in the building so if you have foot problems and rely on orthotics to prevent foot pain, this place is definitely not for you.

We were there to visit a family member at Foothills Hospital. It was the perfect location because it was a 10 minute drive to the hospital but walking distance to morning coffee and dinner. Exactly what we needed.

The place has a beautiful and luxurious interior as pictured, the woodwork and detail are like none I've ever seen before. It is a unique stay that is good for occasions! I will come back whenever I'm in Calgary again. The mattress was great. The place is very clean and comfortable and the hosts were welcoming and kind.

Beautiful private house but lacking the security, comfort and amenities of a 4 star guest house. We do not recommend. Security: No security locks on room doors and a 'honour system' for locking the main entrance door. We put a chair against our door for security. The "Check-out" process meant leaving our keys on the kitchen counter. Comfort: Bed mattress and pillows (foam) were lumpy; we didn't get a good night sleep. Top sheet was percale 180 thread count (Thomaston t-180), covered by thin nylon blanket (Vellux). Polyester comforter. Amenities: Contrary to their Expedia profile, there is no room service or dining options. The host referred us to Uber Eats. Parking is street parking. What could be improved: - Security locks for guest room and main door security system. - New or better quality mattress, pillows and bedding. - Remove reference to room service from the Expedia website (intentional misrepresentation?, the host said it meant they "serviced the room" ) . - The host has a strict policy requiring guests to remove their shoes at the front door. They should provide house slippers as is customary in this situation. The host provided me slippers when I asked, did not offer slippers to my spouse. - Remove the first picture from their Expedia profile that shows what looks like a hotel tower. It's the first picture that pops up when using the Expedia mobile app.
