The second you step into the room it's obvious that this hotel is geared towards business travelers as the rooms have large closets, a desk space and even a complimentary shoe shine kit. Since it was the weekend, we were able to score a decent deal while visiting friends in Calgary. The incentive also included free parking and free wi-fi that was a bit sketchy at times. The room was large and had separate bedroom and living areas. The living area also had ample room to sit and relax, and even a separate eating area with a large table. Not much of a kitchen for a "suite" as it just had a microwave and fridge.
The worst part about the rooms is that they have paper thin walls. We heard noise from the hallway and other rooms surrounding us. It sure didn't sound like business people were staying the weekend here because we were awoken at 3AM by two guys talking loudly in the hallway about weed. And this was heard from inside our bedroom! Then at 6AM I don't know what was going on upstairs but there were some people talking extremely loud and running around as we could hear a lot of thumping on the ceiling. This went on for well over an hour. Finally at around 7:30AM we called the front desk to make a complaint. I'm not sure if they did anything but the noise did subside and we were able to get another couple hours of sleep.
The check-in and check-out process wasn't particularly welcoming or friendly but it was efficient. The faucet in the bathtub wasn't working great. When the shower was on, water was still coming out from the faucet as well, so only half the water was making it to the showerhead. Good thing the water pressure was decent. While it's nice to have a balcony, I stepped outside to check it out and immediately went back in because it was so dirty. Same goes for the windows... it's easy to tell that they haven't been cleaned in a few years as its condition was extremely dirty. I can tell because my condo in Edmonton hasn't been done in a couple years and this was even worse.
Overall, the sleep quality was lacking here. Maybe some bad luck on the surrounding clientele but I don't remember the last time where I could hear so much noise from the hallway and surrounding rooms. I got to say, very comfortable mattress though.
