“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

It was really cold when we arrived, so Ric's Grill being 1/2 a block away made the location fantastic.

The hotel advertises Free breakfast - Free parking - Free Wifi. All were good. (Never stay in a hotel without free wifi.) Underground parking required that your vehicle is less than 6ft 1" tall. But you need to check-in first, to get a room key to open the garage. The parking lot at the back of the hotel is also free. Use it while you check in. The elevator also goes to the garage, so luggage carrying is easy. You need a key to access all floors except M (main).

The rooms were good, clean bathrooms, coffee maker, decent breakfast, comfortable beds.
There's nothing else you need in Calgary.

Thumbs up Best Western.

“Good location, needs work”

Stayed hear the first week of Jan/12 for the World Juniors Hockey tournament. The location is great as there's plenty of conveniences within walking distance.
Renovations started out of the blue on the second day, was NOT happy about that as it was very loud and no one was given any notice; lots of unhappy people!!
The rooms are average and looked like the had some updates, poor construction and low range materials (many fixtures were installed incorrectly or poorly)

“Fantastic location”

Prime location for anyone wanting to explore the downtown core of Calgary. Everything within walking distance making it the perfect choice. This is my second stay in this location, and the room was just as lovely as before. All amenities are up-to-date, rooms kept in prime condition and clean. No matter where you are, you have a view of the city. Wonderful hotel, highly recommended.

Room Tip: Suites are beautiful, the perfect rooms to stay in for a quiet, romantic evening.

“Very satisfied”

This is the second time I have stayed here. Once again I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent condition of the room. It was in great shape and very up to date. Since my last trip they have also completed the elevator upgrade. Breakfast was good and with the free underground parking I had a worry free sleep. It is also within easy walking distance of the downtown core. I would also like to mention that they have very friendly and helpful staff. I have found this to be a great value for the money and will definitely stay here again. Thanks!!

“From check in to check out, no trouble.”

Excellent: location, friendly and helpful staff, parking space - basement parking is very safe.
Very good: accomodations, ammenities, cleanness of room and common areas. Internet and printer worked fine. They have a small safe we could use to keep documents and money.
Good: breakfast has some variety, from eggs to yogurt, pancakes, cereal, fruits. Small but enough space for guests, pleasant environment, well maintained.
You're in downtown - don't leave valuables in your car overnight. Take advantage of the secured parking overnight, not the open one if you're concerned.
Coffee bar accross the street has interesting environment and very good coffee !
