Hotels in University of Calgary District, Calgary

We have an electric car and so when we travel if possible we try stay in hotels that have an electric vehicle charger on site. I always call the hotel directly to confirm as the websites are not always accurate. We called this hotel directly before booking onine and were advised by the woman on the phone (who had to put us on hold while she checked), that there was a car charger in the covered parking area. Great - the only warning was it was first come first served (which is how most are). When we arrived we asked where the vehicle charger was located and due to language issues the front desk person thought we were talking about a car cell phone charger... but another person came over and told us no EV charger on site. That was the whole reason for booking at this hotel and on a long weekend most places nearby were sold out. So we had to change our schedule to go and find a car charger instead of being able to do this at the hotel as planned. We would not have booked had we been given accurate information. And to pour salt in the wound, after we checked in the same person at the front desk who thought we wanted a cell phone charger called to ask if we were satisfied with the room, and I said room was fine but unhappy about no EV charger, he got confused and put us on hold and left us on hold... I eventually just hung up. Poor service. Hotel was clean. Our room was large but very spartan in furnishings and dated except new flooring. Bed was OK and no issue with noise. Shower head was long past its prime so not a great shower. Door into the room was backwards and swung to the open room and not to the wall but it had a door arm on it so you could not open all the way. Thiis made it hard to get luggage into the room as there was a table that limited access. Never tried the included breakfast. Why don't hotels offer the breakfast right until check out time? Why do they cut if off so early? I feel ripped off.

profoundly disappointment and frustrated regarding our recent stay at the Ramada Limited Calgary. Unfortunately, our experience was so disheartening and distressing that we have made the difficult decision that we will never again choose to stay at a Ramada hotel. The conditions we encountered at Ramada Limited Calgary were simply unacceptable and fell far below the basic expectations one has when staying at any lodging establishment. The state of the guest rooms, bathrooms, and the overall property cleanliness was deplorable and posed serious health and safety concerns. Given the extent of the issues we encountered, we were unable to utilize the amenities offered by the property, including the absence of a suitable breakfast room. This lack of basic services only added to the overall disappointment of our stay. We had hoped for a comfortable and enjoyable experience, but our time at Ramada Limited Calgary was anything but. The experience has left us with a deeply negative impression and a firm decision to seek accommodations elsewhere in the future.

I stayed here for four nights in October, and found it to be comfortable and well put together. The room was clean and not worn or dirty. Beds were comfy with good linens. Towels were quite good. Amenities, meh. Enough, but the smell wasn't to my taste. I had a queen suite on the 6th floor--with views of the transit station and very distant mountain views--at a reasonable price. Quite spacious, and actually would've been good for a family--two queen beds and a sofa bed, plus small fridge/microwave/coffee pod machine. I requested partial housekeeping service--they replaced my towels and took the garbage every day, and I never saw them. I also appreciated that the room had enough LIGHT. So tired of glum-looking hotel rooms with a couple of lamps with weak bulbs. With regard to covid, we were asked for proof of vaccination at check in, and were told that we could then access amenities such as the pool and breakfast room. That's the law at this point, and I was glad to be asked. On the first morning, the breakfast area felt controlled and safe (I saw one small party moving around the room unmasked, but it was quiet and I was able to keep my distance). On the second morning (a Saturday), the place was VERY full, with lots of people not using masks, lots of unmasked and unsupervised kids helping themselves at the food table. Kids gotta eat, but parents should be helping and making sure they do so in a sanitary way (this is not unusual, but covid makes it worse). There was NO ONE controlling the room, no pretense of verifying that the people there were actually the ones who could prove vaccination status. (I actually saw one guest walking around barefoot--which is not a particular covid risk but is just gross.) Could they not code the room cards for access or no access and then code the breakfast room (and pool) to match? Wouldn't be perfect--someone's going to slide in behind someone else at some point--but it would be better. Also I know these places hate to see you carry food back to your room, but under the circumstances, a few trays to make it easier would be appreciated by those of us who prefer not to spend time with those who prefer not to follow the law.

The first positive impression remained - friendly reception, maintained impression, everything very modern. Pricefully also absolutely OK. After examining the vaccine status, we could enjoy breakfast as usual - a small extra charge for the hotel, so much more pleasant for guests.

Near the train station, there are several hotels around. BEST WEST's standardized room facilities and services are comfortable, clean and affordable. Although it is a fast hotel, it is not small, the underground ground can be parked, but the underground garage parking is charged for overnight. There are not many varieties of breakfast, but basic bread, juice, yogurt, milk, cereal, coffee, hot dog sausage, eggs and a little fruit are enough to eat, you can make crepes, children like this.

I booked on Expedia and of course checked in like a normal guest. Once I got to my room I looked around and it was an absolute mess. Some kind of sauce everywhere, white substance on the tv, hair on the pillow and garbage left out. I then walked back to the front desk and asked for my a refund because of what the stat of my room was. They then asked me to contact Expedia for this as I booked it through them. I did this and Expedia said that the hotel manager needs the approve this refund. I get that I need to contact Expedia for this but they need the managers approval is a bit absurd. I am now in another hotel and waiting for the manager to approve the refund. The employee lied to Expedia agent and said I was in the room for an hour and then came to the front desk for a refund. I did what any normal guest would do in a case like this. They did not offer me another room but I did say I wouldn’t accept another room if they offered it as my first room was disgusting. The employee said she need to check the room but then chose not to once she realized it was booked on Expedia. Lazy and smart on her part because I am sure she knows her manager will not approve the refund and will put someone else in this room. The staff was not unfriendly and did her job upon check in.

Service is not bad, reaching the star rating. The room in this stay was very clean and the check-in was a bit dirty. Comparing all the hotels in this film, the most cost-effective stay on weekdays is this one. But on weekends, prices will rise and rise a lot. By the end of the week I moved to a nearby motel for two days.

I stayed here for 5 nights. All the staff from the front desk to the housekeeping and maintenance staff were very efficient and friendly. The breakfast bar was ok with a fairly good variety but was barley warm. The restaurant was OK but expensive for what you get. The first steak sandwich was OK, done medium rare like I ordered, and tender but the second one was tough and medium well done and cold. (I ordered medium rare) I also ordered gravy on the fries and will never do that again. The extra charge for a bit of gravy was $3.00. The drinks were very expensive too. Wine was $1.00 per ounce and a Carona was $9.00. All in all, it was a very expensive 5 days. On the up side though, the hotel was very clean and quiet up to the last night. I also have a handicap license plate so I park in a handicap spot. The last night I got a note on my car saying that I don't have authorization to park there and if I don't move my car, further action will be taken. Apparently the other guests were complaining. I took the desk clerk out there and showed him my HANDICAP LICENSE PLATE that is registered to me. The manager should really do his research before he puts notes like that on cars. Also, whoever complained should look at the license plate before complaining about something they know nothing about. I will stay there again because I like the place and the staff--AND--I'll park in the handicap spot.

Hotel guests should take priories over walk-in guests on special occasions like New Year’s Eve. If advance reservation is required, the guests should be informed during their check in. Excellent location for fireworks. Heat up glass for Cognac could use glass than a cup.

Hampton Inn by Hilton Calgary Airport North was a very comfortable stay for us. The free breakfast in the morning was great, we really enjoyed the warm breakfast. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and inviting, and the hotel shuttle service was very easy to use. The hotel was a short distance from the airport, and we would stay there again.
