Positive Reviews
positive:
Situated right on campus.
This hotel is perfect for anyone wanting to attend an event at the University of Calgary as it is placed on the university’s grounds. It is also near enough shopping and dining facilities that guests won’t have to use their vehicle while staying here.
positive:
Modern, fresh feeling property.
Every part of this hotel has a modern feel thanks to some great fixtures and popular in-room amenities. The decor has also been well chosen to provide a better experience than what chain hotels provide, according to reviews.
positive:
Inexpensive rates provide a lot of value.
Budget travellers believe this hotel to be a great find. Not only are rates reasonable, but guests receive plenty for their money including access to workout equipment and other university facilities.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast offerings are rarely a hit.
Seldom does anyone enjoy the continental breakfast that guests are given. Not only is the menu limited and doesn’t change, but the items put out are so few in quantity that not every guest will be able to get a meal.
negative:
Guestrooms can be stuffy and uncomfortable.
Air conditioning units that don’t work are a frequent issue at this hotel. Because these units seldom function, guestrooms are usually hot and guests will be uncomfortable.
negative:
Not much space in the private rooms.
People travelling in a group might not find this hotel to be suitable. That is because rooms are on the small side, and by including more than one or two guests then everyone may start to feel cramped.
