Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Great mid range hotel"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
If you want to be on the University of Calgary campus, as I did, or perhaps to save a little money, this is an ideal choice. It is not fancy but my room was clean and the hotel staff were friendly. There's accessible public transit to get downtown.
