This is my hotel of choice when I visit Calgary for shows. It is close enough to the city that it's an easy walk to pretty much any venue, and it is close to 17th Ave which is my favourite shopping district!
The first time I stayed here was for my birthday (February 2012) and it was the perfect romantic getaway! The beds are like sleeping in a cloud; it was so hard to get out bed in morning. Having the full apartment was amazing, especially with Safeway across the street. There is also a liquor store right downstairs so pre drinks are beyond easy to acquire.
The room was clean and done up in modern decor, other than the tacky cow pattern chair, but hey it's Calgary so you have to expect a little cow pattern here and there! The staff are super nice and they are never opposed to giving you a late check out (perfect because as I said, it is hard to get out of the heavenly beds!). It is totally worth paying the little bit extra for a room with a balcony, you will likely be looking at a brick wall but sun is sun!
My boyfriend and I have stayed here 5 times now and when we move back to Canada and are visiting Calgary we will be staying here again!
