The first day we were there, I could smell cigarette smoke in the room. I don't know if this hotel is old enough to be of the day when EVERY room was a smoking room and maybe it was in the carpet? But it was gone the second day so I have a feeling the previous tenant had a smoke... More

Presently staying at the Econolodge. The room is clean and the staff is super nice and helpful. For the price you can't go wrong. The fitness room is a real bonus. I highly recommend this place, you won't be dissapointed. Nick F. More

For 100$ a kingsize bed, two burner kitchenette, microwave, fridge, coffee pot. Can't complain, this isn't the ritz people but it's affordable. If I had to pick something... the dishes were all mismatched dollarama plates and random china, and the pots and pans were worn out and dirty, prompting me to was everything when I got there. Only butter knifes,... More

This hotel has seen better days, but the price reflects that. The unit was equipped with a TV, desk, queen bed, fridge, stove & microwave (& dishes). They also offered free Wi-fi. The carpet had stains but the room appeared to be clean. The hotel was busy the night we were there & as a result, there was a fair... More

I stayed three nights for business. This hotel was nicely appointed, and clean. I also had a pergo floor in my room, instead of carpet. It was a clean, and not loud, so it was a nice change. Every staff person I interacted with was pleasant and helpful. The only possible negative is that the area the hotel is in... More

I’ve stayed at the hotel a couple of times, last time being just this May. Overall I have been quite satisfied with my stay at the hotel on both occasions. I mean for the money it’s great value. It is close to Chinook shopping mall and in proximity to many restaurants and amenities which makes shopping and eating easy (I... More

We stayed at this Econo Lodge in SW Calgary in September when we drove across Canada to Vancouver. 1. The door to the suite did not lock properly. 2. The window treatments did not close totally. 3. There were holes in the wall that had been recently patched, but not properly sanded or primed and painted afterward. 4. The room... More
