Horrible. You will get sick if you stay two nights
Very Heavy comforter. Sweating woke up middle of the night. Can not sleep good. Even turn down the heat to 15. Should have the refund for that one night stay as I didn’t sleep. Horrible experience. I report complaint to the front desk next early morning. No sorry to hear from her.

The property is located in a great location. Extremely easy to access the trails, restaurants and stores. Parking was inconvenient as it was extremely limited. Older hotel but had the basic necessities. Staff were friendly.

We could not make it because of the massive snowfall with travel advisory that started 1 day before our booked trip. The manage Joe refused to give me a refund. The trip was for my 3 year old daughter and I. I was not going to risk our lives to make this trip but Joe said that it’s winter and Alberta so it’s expected and would not give us a refund, let us change dates or anything. Extremely poor management and terrible customer service with no empathy or consideration for a guests safety.

An older property , did not have a River view. Comfortable beds . Booked a 2 bedroom Front desk staff excellent, assisted us with the bus schedule. Prompt maintenance assistance when the microwave and coffee maker blew a circuit breaker. Lovely area to walk to Bow River. Would stay here again, but would like the River view. Used the pool and restaurant in the sister property across the parking lot , very nice facility .
