We stayed here because we were attending a three-day conference at the Saddledome. It was right downtown and just a couple blocks from the train... very convenient for getting to and from the stampede grounds. It was also within walking distance of Stephen Avenue and other great stores and restaurants so at night we just walked out the lobby and... More

The folks at 5 Calgary Dowtown are trying very hard to make up for its drab, poor showing. Staff are some of the friendliest I've met and the place is trying with nice amenities like a spa. But the list of negatives is much longer. Rooms were sweltering hot - the heat was off in my room and even opening... More

It was our first time in Calgary. The hotel is nice, but dated. Our room was clean, the location is good, and the staff was excellent, which leads me to give it a "Very Good" instead of "Average" rating. The on-site restaurant is a decent place to grab a meal -- good breakfasts, though. More

My friend and I stayed here for a weekend in Calgary. Like others had previously mentioned, when you walk into the lobby it looks rather nice and modern. As soon as you enter the room you're certainly taken aback by how outdated, musty and old everything is. There are cracks on the walls, dust everywhere, old musty furniture... even the... More

We've stayed here twice, and it wasn't too bad. Both stays were in a family suite, which is a one bedroom suite with kitchen, and a queen bed in the living room. There's a TV in each of the bedroom and living room. The place really does feel like I'm back living in my old apartment during my college years.... More

This hotel isn't very modern or beautifully furnished, it feels more like staying in a friends apartment. A very nice and spacious apartment, that is. As we expected a hotelroom, this studio was a great surprise. For jetlagged travelers like us, we liked the seperate living and bedroom, the kitchenette is even well equiped enough if you'd feel like cooking.... More

I am in my second night at the 5 and could not be more disappointed. The downtown location is good, but the hotel should be considered a last resort in Calgary. My suite (2707) on one of the highest floors cannot be cooled properly, even though it is -5C outside and the windows are wide open. The odours of curry... More

Stayed here on a business trip. All other hotels were booked, but it turns out this place was fine. Very well priced for a suite hotel in DT core. Rooms are somewhat dated and Plain Jane, but very clean and bed was good. Room was a bit warm even with AC on full blast. Service was awesome and the staff... More

the suite is a little dated but it's clean & has a full kitchen! it's basically a fully furnished one bedroom apartment right downtown calgary...at a great cost!!! More
