Ok... I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews. But I just have to tell it like it is.
I dread staying at the Executive in Calgary. Ugh.
While you do get a good first impression in the lobby area, when you get over to the one tiny elevator you get your first taste of disappointment. The hallways are weird, like a corridor in a castle dungeon.
Inside the room is even worse than the hall. I don't know where to start. It's so dark! There are dark wood floors, which on their own could be fine. But dark floors make the room very dark and cold feeling. The windows are quite small and the bedspread is black, which just make the room seem even darker. A black bedspread?? Why?! My other big annoyance is the actual lighting in the rooms. All pot lights everywhere. It's very gloomy feeling with the light blaring down at you and no lamps lighting up the ceiling. Oh forgive me, there is one lamp. One lamp on the desk, which I promptly move to the bedside table because I hate the pot light glaring down on me when I'm in bed. Yuck.
Saying all that cosmetic stuff, if you just want a clean room for the night it's fine. But when I have a 20 hr layover, I hate spending any time in the room. Plus, I don't get a good sleep on the beds. Bummer.
There is a small fridge in the room and also a one cup coffee maker.
I went down to the lounge last night called Steels. The wine was good the nachos were good and the waitress was really friendly.
