As a tourist, it was very convenient that the CTrain was right along 7th Ave. It is free to ride between 3rd and 11th Street where pretty much everything you’d like to see downtown and beyond are on those stops.

As a tourist, it was very convenient that the CTrain was right along 7th Ave. It is free to ride between 3rd and 11th Street where pretty much everything you’d like to see downtown and beyond are on those stops. However, that comes with a price - the rumbling sound of the train made it difficult to get a restful sleep. However, our room was on the 2nd floor so maybe it’s not as bad on the upper floors. Our room was clean. The buffet breakfast that they served for our tour group though was pretty awful and there was no staff in sight. We were left unattended and that was very disappointing.

The staff are very helpful and Moxies is lovely for food and drinks. The rooms could do with being updated and are pretty dark - the air conditioning is crazy loud and old fashioned.

It is not in a very nice part of town but it is close to the C train for getting around. The lift often took a long time during busy periods. Nice to have coin laundry facilities on site and convenient parking system. Rooms were clean and it’s an okay hotel if you don’t want to spend much and want to be near the C Train. Read less

We arrived late in the morning as our flight was delayed from Toronto. We went out with family and went to Calgary tower in evening. We were given a nice corner room. It is very. Central for train station. Nice breakfast and staff. We would go back again

It was a nice, clean hotel. The staff was friendly, especially the weekday mornings shuttle driver. They had a restaurant inside called Moxies and there was a steakhouse across the parking lot. Gave me the option to pay in USD or CAD with my credit card.
