Was staying in Calgary for a couple of days. Girlfriend found what appeared to be a contemporary hotel at a good price that she wanted to try. Instead what we received was a hotel trying to be different on a very low budget. Once you enter the hotel you will instantly notice that the fit and finish is terrible... and that quality extends to the room.
There was a 3/8" gap in the between the tile and electrical outlet next to the sink... very safe. There was a hole in shower. While the hotel advertises that it has a plasma TV in its rooms, the quality of the channels were worse than watching TV on the 'bunny-ears' at my grandma house. The video on the TV didn't work half of the time. The heater in the room was terribly loud. And the greatest complaint of all: there must be a club/bar on the main-floor... guess how fun it is to listen to the sound of bass until 2am?!
The hotel employees were nicer than average, but that really doesn't count for much since I don't need to be pampered at all.
As I checked out, I also canceled my reservation for the next week when I'm back in town.
