“Exceptional”

Second time at Twin Gables. I think of it as a boutique hotel. So comfortable. This trip I came from a nice chain hotel in Montreal to Twin Gables and it felt so much more comfortable. I love everything about it. But here's what made this stay exceptional. I needed a cab to take me to a business meeting at 8:00 am. Deirdre met me at the door when I arrived, doublechecked my breakfast choice and time, and my meeting time and called in the cab booking before I made my weary way to bed. Next morning I was up refreshed from a great sleep (not often experienced in the big hotels). Used Deirdre's quality iron and board to press my suit pants and shirt. Went down for her superb breakfast - exactly as ordered. Was ready to leave for the meeting. The cab didn't show. hadn't happened to her in nine years of ordering cabs for guests. "I'll get you there on time even if I have to drive you myself." And she did! The cab company told her the cold snap had demand exceeding supply and they didn't know when the cab would show up. So Deirdre went way above and beyond and she got me there with time to spare. Simply exceptional. I took Twin Gables cards to the meeting and handed them out. Just a small repayment for her kindness.

What a lovely stay we had! The location of Twin Gables is very convenient and the house is lovely. The accommodations are superb and the breakfasts were very tasty. The staff did all they could to cater to whatever we needed. It was a very pleasant trip overall and I would recommend Twin Gables to a friend. Thanks for the great stay and we will see you all at Twin Gables again!

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2010

I have stayed nearly 50 times in this fabulous B&B. Henry and Deirdre are awesome hosts, and I leave feeling spoiled every time. Most of my stays have been on business (I am currently President of the Law Society of Alberta) but my wife and I have returned to stay just for fun and to see a concert (Van Morrison). We have even sent some of our office staff to Calgary to stay, just for a super special treat!

The location is awesome, its easy to get to and to get downtown. The breakfasts are superb and Deirdre always asks me what I prefer to have. The value is really there, and when I compare the cost of parking, breakfast, internet, it costs not much more than a middle of the road hotel in the beltline. If I compare the cost of getting equally pampered (a major downtown hotel suite) its a bargain.

“Highly Recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2010

This is now my second time staying at Twin Gables (8 days total between two trips), and it definitely won't be my last. Typically, as a business traveler I'd resort to a hotel chain where I could collect my points...however, this B&B is such a gem, I'd much rather forgo the points and stay somewhere where I know I'll feel at home. The breakfasts are spectacular, the rooms are quite spacious (especially the executive suite), and it's very quiet for being so close to Centre City Calgary (5-10 minute drive into the Downtown Core). There's even plenty of quality restaurants for lunch/dinner within walking distance. It's become one of my favorite places to stay.
