Nice hotel. Front staff were great. I stayed here on a business trip but it was way too far south. It is far from downtown and there are better places to stay for less in downtown.

The hotel has a very odd lay out and you need to make sure you are in the section of the hotel you want.

Normally I don't like staying in "full service" hotels, which seem to charge for eveything. So I was a bit apprehensive to book a stay in this hotel,which was mandated by our management (since our supplier had a discounted rate there). However in the end my stay turned out to be better than I expected.

We stayed in the Tower room. My wife joined me a few days into the trip, so I was hoping that this stay would live up to her (somewhat higher) expectations - it mostly did. The room was clean, the bed pretty comfortable. The pillows were typical hotel fare - synthetic, soft to the touch but hard to sleep on. In the rooms there is a mini-fridge (fortnately empty of mini-bar goodies), useful to store the leftovers of last night's dinner, but no microwave. There is a coffeemaker, with coffe and tea condiments, though to make tea without coffee flavor, you will need to resort to some trickery, such as removing filter-holder and the pot lid. In the morning the hotel has a free coffee cart in the lobby, with very good, Starbucks-quality coffee.

The TV channel selecton was fairly good, though as in a typical "full service" hotel, every time you turn on the TV, you are presented with the Pay-Per-View ads, before getting to a viewable channel.

The parking spaces seem a bit undersized, but the parking is free, and right in front of the building. The hotel staff are all very friendly, from the housekeeping to front desk. Although they charge extra for a room upgrade, which includes a turn-down service and bottled water, as well as a higher-floor room with a better vew, the rooms are essentially the same as the ones below, and if you ask, the front desk staff will give you bottles of water for free.

Overall, it was a pleasant, uneventful stay.

Not as nice as your typical Delta hotel, but nothing terribly wrong with it either. A bit of an odd layout, with half the hotel on one side of a street, and the other half located on another piece of property. Each section has their own lobby, but they will check you in at either. You may then have to drive, or take the pedway over, if you're not in the same building as your designated room.

I was located in the atrium part of the hotel, which is only 3 stories tall. It is a large square building, and only has a couple of elevators, so you may find yourself walking across the main floor, and then walking down a long corridor to your room on that floor.

Otherwise, staff I dealt with were friendly, professional, and thorough. The room was fine: decent lighting, desk and chair, lots of room including a sofa, sitting chair, and coffee table (this was a king room). The bathroom function was fine, but it could use a reno soon. Room was very clean, however.

Parking is free, but is outdoors. There are restaurants and bars located on site, but there are plenty of other choices nearby, as well.

Price was reasonable for Calgary, especially considering that everything else in the city was sold out. I paid around $175 (+ tax), when the Hyatt wanted almost $600 (for a standard room).

I stayed at this hotel for one night with my husband and two daughters aged 7 and 2 in July 2011. We stayed in the Atrium which we found very attractive and comfortable. Our room was very spacious, and nicely accommodated a family of 4 including a toddler crib. The beds were comfortable. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Check in was easy and the very personable and professional staff also gave my kids some welcome packets.

We ordered room service for breakfast and while it was very tasty, they were also quite late, which kind of messed up our day.

We stayed here for the waterslide and it did not disappoint. Ok, this isn't like a full blown amusement park, but for a hotel pool, it was pretty cool. My kids absolutely loved it. My 7 year old went down it 27 times (she counted). It was crowded but people were generally pretty well behaved. They could use a bit more supervision, because kids were piling up and going down one right after the other. They ran short on towels.

Overall, we liked the hotel a lot.
