“Our new favourite hotel in Calgary.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have two sons that live in Calgary and travel there a few times a year to visit. Usually we stay with them but this time we were in town for a wedding that was in the south end so we decided to get a hotel with a waterslide to make it a bit of a winter get-a-way vacation for our youngest son.

We had a large room with two queen size beds. TVs (with great reception), a microwave, a refrigerator, coffee maker with Wolfgang Puck coffee pods, comfortable beds, climate controls (that are a cinch to use), and lots of lights. An outstanding front desk staff (with the exception of the female on the night shift who was really not happy to be there :-( The remaining staff were wonderful and always had a smile and a hello for us. Our housekeeper was lovely as was "Camille" at the breakfast buffet.

We travel a great deal and have stayed at everything from 1 star motels to 5 start resorts. The Wingate is definitely a do over.

The hotel is a little hard to get to so make sure you know how to get in and out of there in advance to avoid any frustrations.

The hotel has a small gym with treadmill, eliptical trainer, and weights. The pool area has a moderate sized pool, whirlpool, and a big curly waterslide. Pool and gym hours are 6 AM to 10 PM. There was always plenty of fresh towels and a water cooler in the gym. My son had a blast!!

The complimentary breakfast is very nice! It's served in a roomy breakfast area, just off the front lobby, from 6-10 AM weekdays, and 7-11 AM on weekends. It includes hot waffles, make your own hot breakfast sandwiches with eggs and sausage or ham (ham is not recommended!), hard boiled eggs, yogurt, toast with every kind of bread, cereal, skim, whole and 2% milk, fruit, choice of 4 kinds of juice, and coffee. Lovely, clean, and well run.

Just a few steps away from the hotel is the Darby Arms. Go here for a quick bite or a pint of ale. Again, very friendly service and you can order take out if you want to just stay in or in our case because we had children under 18.

For a full restaurant meal, you must go across the street where you'll find a huge array of all the popular restaurants.

Everything including common areas and hallways are very clean and designed for comfort.

Internet is a breeze - link up in your room FREE of charge or use the Business Centre.

There is even a guest laundry with complimentary laundry soap and dryer sheets.

An AVIS rental car agency is also just off the lobby.

This is an extremely good choice for both the leisure traveler or the business person. You will find this hotel both relaxing and comfortable.

We also took in the Zoo for an afternoon and despite it being quite cold it was very enjoyable with lots of indoor exhibits to step in to and warm up.

I have passed on your comments to all our staff, especially Carmel at the breakfast bar who was happy to be mentioned.

Many thanks again for your kind words!

“The same problem again”

We stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago when we got there they gave us 4peeson room even though the reservation was for 6. I had booked a roomtgat had2king beds and a sofa bed we got one king bed and a sofa bed. They said it was my fault because I should have phoned instead of booking on the Internet. We are here again and this time I did phone and we still got the wrong room. When I went to tell them they said that all the rooms I had booked where gone. How dies a hotel book too meany of one kind of room this is all done by computer now. They obviously gave my room to someone who did not book it.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your experience at our hotel. I apologize for the inconvenience of being placed in a room with two queen beds and a pull out sofa bed instead of the king beds you had originally booked.

Unfortunately we had an unexpected maintenance issue arrise and for the health and safety of you and our other guests, we had to take that room off market. We apologize that you felt we gave away your room. Rest assured, the safety of our guests is paramount to all of our employees.

Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further comments or questions.

“Decent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010

person found this review helpful

This is a pretty good hotel, can't really fault it, definitely better than average. Only thing that didn't work properly was the clock/radio in the room. Beds were okay but nothing special. But it's clean, the breakfast was good and the staff were pretty good too. Location is the only thing that some people probably wouldn't like, it's in a residential area and located next to the South Calgary Health Centre and across from Shawnessy shopping centre. The fire station and police station are next door. So everything is to hand but it's not really a tourist hotspot.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. You are correct in saying we are not a tourist hotspot! Many of our guests like our close proximity to the offices in the area. We are also close to Spruce Meadows, home to world class show jumping and are in close proximity to the Calgary Stampede grounds and Scotiabank Saddledome.

Our maintenance staff has been notified of the clock radio not working and have made sure they are all in working order.

We look forward to seeing you again.

“Perfect for family tagging on business trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

person found this review helpful

My daughter and I tagged along with husband while he was on business for the oil show. I must say that my 9 yr old LOVED the hotel. They have a 3 story waterslide that is extremely fast and fun. There is a good workout room with a nice big HDTV with cable. I enjoyed working out as I have found that not all hotels put big tv's with cable in their exercise rooms. The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff was extremely friendly and curtious. On Wednesdays during the school year ONLY they serve a complimentary dinner. The week we were there they had hamburgers etc. They were also giving away door prizes. I thought it was a little odd and I asked what it was for but the manager stated that they do it every Wednesday excluding the summer months (the 1st week in June is when we were there and it was going to be their last event until the end of summer). Their continental breakfast is very good as well. Overall if we return to Calgary with him on business I dont think he will get out of staying here again. As far as reservations are concerned the hotel stated that they were fully booked when we called but we went through one of the discount reservation sites and booked it through them and they had a room for us when we arrived, odd again, but oh well. I recommend this hotel especially if you have young ones!

Thank you for your very kind words about our hotel. We strive to provide not only a good place for business travelers but a fun place for the families that travel with them!

We are glad you were able to be here for something we call Wingate Wednesday. This is when we invite all guests down to have a drink and a snack and meet our managers and the other guests in the hotel. This is our way to meet our guests and to say thank you.

We look forward to seeing you again during the petroleum show next year!

I stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights with my toddler while visiting family. The room was attractive and very clean (sheets, carpet, bathroom). The people at the front desk were helpful and friendly. My daughter loved their pool and waterslide. The free breakfast was tasty and fresh. We would definitely stay here again.
