Best hotel in Calgary
We stayed in 3 hotels during our Calgary/Banff trip and this property was the best place we stayed. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. It felt like very much at home vs. staying at a hotel. High end feel with a very good price.
The area was vibrant and convenient. We will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable
It was generally a comfortable stay. Nothing significant to complain about except the pillows becomes so thin after a few minutes of using it.
