Clean room, friendly, helpful staff. The CHARCUT restaurant in the hotel was 5 star. The cafe had the best chai latte I’ve had. The design of the room and hotel was modern and fantastic. I was there for a family members hospital stay and would recommend it. The underground parking was a game changer with the -30 temperatures. 💯.

We had a really nice stay. The room was clean, the staff polite and accommodating. The little coffee shop on the ground floor was perfect for our morning starts. We appreciated the location. It's was easy to get to and from the different get to togethers we had all over Calgary. We definitely will be back.
