    cemented floors

    Breakfast was good, would appreciate if eggs are also included in the menus. The floor is cemented which looks like you are residing in a place where construction is in process. Rooms should be carpeted and washroom and kitchen area tiled.

    The rooms did not have air conditioner or fans. The parking is in another building, which is about 10 minutes walk - this is inconvenience.

    The breakfast was healthy and sufficient. The rooms are basically suites having separate kitchen, very useful for families with little ones.

    The suite floor and wall was not appealing at all, the kitchenette had no function as there were no single utensils, cooking pots nor coffee makers.Bed was uncomfortable and no AC!, No TV! It wasn't a hotel vibe, The parking was free however it was far and scary if you were checking in late. Also the hallway carpets were all stained and needed a very good cleaning.

    The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was amazing.And location is good as well.

    it was a little far from parking garage, the room was a bit small for the price & the bed was not the best entirely for two people, was a few homeless rummaging through garbages around 11-1am & you have to completely leave the property to have a cigarette or vape.

    It was close to everything that we came to the city for, it was very well kept & clean

    I'm 83. I had to walk quite a ways to the P6 parking lot when the one beside the building was mostly empty. Carried suitcase down stairs with bad knees. No one mentioned I could have an exception. Also, full kitchen and didn't know no cooking supplies.

    The room we have stayed in was dusty and the bed set up was very high for me to reach. I was a little bit disappointed.

    Breakfast was not like a breakfast with bacon and eggs. It was extra and expensive. The pastry were not fresh. Over it was ok.

    It was spartan. Concrete everything, one thin, unfitted sheet on a plastic-covered mattress would not stay on the beds as we slept. The kitchen had no coffee or coffee maker, no dishes or cutlery of any sort. No wifi (although it purported to have wifi - it only worked (barely) downstairs by the front desk.

    It seemed clean. Nice to have 2 separate rooms. The young girl in the cafeteria and one girl at the desk were friendly and hospitable. It was clean. The breakfast was ok if you like to start your day on refined carbs and sugary drinks.

    Most staff is part-time working students and has limited training. I had to extend my stay for a few days but they refuse to extend. Staff said you need to book the hostel from Booking.com. When I checked the price it was above CAD 200+ and eventually, we checked out and search for another Motel in the city for a week. We had lots of luggage as we first time moved from Indian and searching for a new hotel was painful. 1. No restaurant close to this property. Otherside of the property there were a few restaurants but very expensive. 2. Isolated place. 3. Mall is a little far from the site.

    This property belongs to SAIT college and this is not a hotel. SAIT offers this student residency/hostel during summer time for the public. So technically you end up in a Student Hostel. Best of this Residency 1. Public Transport (Max Yellow bus line) 2. C Train (SAIT Station) is within walking distance ( Winter time would be not ideal for walking) 3. The College campus is awesome and the continental breakfast is good. 4. Calgary downtown is just 2 stations from the property.

    Don't go into with "hotel accomodations" in mind as you would be disappointed. It is cost effective

    Distance between free parking lot an hotel is far. You have 30 minutes to offload and load at check in and check out. The college parking staff will hover over your vehicle and ding you immediately if you go over this time. So I scored a $45 ticket because I went over 30 minute literally by 10 min. Rooms being school dormitories are fairly spartan. TV doesn't work (No remote) very little air conditioning, and very solid beds. Didn't get much sleep. It was clean and the options of picking up your own groceries and cooking in suite is great for longer stays. Rates were affordable and given I was working with a group in campus it was very convieniently located. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

    Due to the fact that I am on a Keto lifestyle their continental breakfast literally had nothing I could eat so if "Free breakfast" is supposed to be a bonus of booking it wasn't for me. Keto requires me to eat meat/dairy/vegetables , most hotels provide some form of eggs and bacon in their free breakfast. The conference centre doesn't. I would be happy with a few boiled eggs. That being said I did pay $22 per breakfast to get their additional eggs and sausage options and they do make some incredible omlettes that were very tasty:)
