“In my opinion, this downtown hotel is geared towards business and event travelers, providing extensive conference facilities. I noted that pet owners may also appreciate the proximity to city attractions and the availability of pet-friendly rooms. I also appreciate the fact that many rooms include balconies, and the hotel's Plus 15 walkway connection is definitely a unique architectural feature in Calgary.”

I found safe parking with underground access to the hotel! infused water was available at the front counter. the rooftop pool offered a nice size for a relaxing swim. the city lights and sunset provided a magical view. I loved the view.

The air conditioning seemed to have some issues. i was offered a fan to help with the temperature in the room. It was a slight inconvenience.
