    The pool was closed. Wasn’t an issue for me, but anybody travelling with a family hoping to stay there for the waterslide, would be disappointed.

    The breakfast was fantastic. But I was told by a person who had been staying there for a few days that the day that I had breakfast was the best day. The rooms are updated and clean. Staff is very friendly. The location was great for me because it was close to university where I had taken my daughter for school.

    - Ptac was a little too big for the room, within a minute of heat I'm too hot, or vise versa I'm freezing. I was unable to adjust the vents to direct upwards, Not a huge deal at all I'm being very picky. Maybe I didn't push hard enough, I didn't wanna break them. more of an opinion not a real issue. - 3rd floor hallway carpet need to be fixed as it's damaged, stretched, lumpy and a tripping hazard. Looks rough in that spot. (Middle area) - shower head lacked, toilet did not flush without holding lever. - Door closers on multiple guest room doors and stairwell door near my room was extremly loud, Clank then a huge bang of the door slamming all night. They need adjusting on the arm. Swing/latch need to be tightened to slow down the door. My room especially was bad, I slowly closed the door to not disrupt anyone. - Engineering left a crowded paint cart on 3rd near elevator unattended for multiple hours, with alot of spilt paint thinner all over top of cart. Doesn't bother me, but my wife and other guests had a hard time breathing as it was very strong. -At roughly 3:30am on Aug 21 we arrived back at the hotel, we needed a drink. Audit staff member was sleeping in the back office. Me and my wife were quite loud and tried 4-5 times to wake him respectfully. This didn't bother me either as I can relate and it's was a bit funny, the only way I could wake him was using the lobby phone to ring FD. He woke quickly. He was accommodating so I quickly forgot about this incident. Honestly was not the biggest deal. It happens. The part that really bothered me was the next evening around 1:30am on Aug 22. we went down to the lobby to receive our Uber eats order. While sitting in the lobby the same front desk worker appeared to be checking in 2-3 people. My Uber delivery driver was very confused and did not see us sitting in lobby waiting, so he approached FD staff member and interrupted to ask if he knew of anyone waiting for...

    Location was great. Renovations don't bother me. Hallways are nice, love the wallpaper and carpet colors. Parkade was a very nice addition, spacious and safe. My room was very clean and welcoming. Guest room hallway doors are beautiful. Lobby was impressive, 2 large elevators made almost zero wait times. breakfast was delicious. 99% of staff were very accommodating and friendly. I appreciate that alot.

    Drop the $15.00 sur charge for the additional vehicle. Seem rather chippy. otherwise, excellent.

    The facade was under reno's as well as the pool area, but we were offered the use of the pool next door, (We declined). The building was clean, neat, well organized. Desk staff were prompt, helpful, and efficient. Room was not quite ready when we arrived, but we were offered coffee in the lobby while the staff did the final touches to our room. Room was neat, clean, and smelled nice. It was exactly as requested, twin queen beds. Beds were very comfortable, pillows (4) were perfect. Room had a mini fridge and an almost new smart TV. Bathroom was neat and clean, with shampoo, cond, and body wash supplied. Everything worked great. We were joined by one of my children for the stay, we a little disappointed we were charged an additional $15.00 for her to park in the parkade. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, hot, very tasty, with the exception of the scrambled eggs. There was plenty of seating in the breakfast area, and was monitored by staff that were both friendly, and helpful. (Well done). Check out was fast, and efficient. Overall, I felt these people were really trying to maintain an excellent place to stay. I would say they succeeded, in my family's opinion. Well done, I will see you all again.

    There was a small table with 2 chairs to use around breakfast area. The table was not ideal especially with the 2 chairs, you couldn't sit properly to eat breakfast or even to relax.

    Location access to train service. Breakfast was ok, more fruit would have been ideal. Room was clean & comfortable.

    The wooden apples as the only fruit choice very bad. This is summer, Canada has a lot of fruit right now. A bit more understandable in winter.

    The location a bit tight if more than 2 people getting food. Large sitting area very good and having coffee separate was good too.

    The hotel is located near the McMahon Stadium and University of Calgary, very convenient. The staff were excellent. The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was marvelous. The only issue during our stay was the fridge cannot be closed properly and has no freezer.

    It's a quaint hotel but the rooms are updated. The pool was under renovation. Although we were allowed to use the neighboring hotel's pool, it was packed. View from room was not pleasant. The Ice machine on our floor was not working.

    Check in process was a breeze. We were given an adjoining room which was very nice for the children. The room was overall nice, clean and updated. Bed is comfortable we had really good nights of sleep. Thermostat was easy to fiddle with. Great selection for breakfast. Parkade was a convenience and a security feature that we liked. Close to downtown.

    The sliding doors in bedroom on bathroom door still left space to see in and out of the bathroom, wasn't a fan of these doors.

    Good hotel. Wish we would have known there was construction happening with the pool, still open, just renos going on.

    The pool was incredibly over chlorinated. Walking into the building you can smell the chlorine. We tired to go swimming the first night but only lasted around 30 minutes because it got hard to breathe and our eyes hurt. Not sure if we went on cleaning day or what the issue was, but it was so bad it bleached our swim clothes.

    Breakfast was simple but had plenty of options and everything was cooked well. Our room was pretty quiet, we couldnt hear our neighbors at all. Very clean
