We had a great stay here and the hotel couldn't be closer to the c-train station. Despite that, it was pretty quiet and safe. There was a fantastic BBQ restaurant nearby too. I would stay here again.

Convenient location
Underground parking and being close to Foothills Hospital was a perk for this visit. It's easy to get to, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The free breakfast was absolutely awful, we didn't take advantage of it our second day. The weight equipment in the gym didn't work however the treadmills and ellipticals seem to be in good working condition. Friendly staff.

The room temperature was high, and I couldn't cool down even though I dialed in at 65F. They seemed to keep the temperature for 70 or up, but the blanket was so warm. That said, I felt very hot if I have the blanket on or feeling cold when slept without it. Adjusting the temperature on the thermostat seems not helping. It only allow to bring temperature higher but not lower. I was feeling not right after the first night. Then I got soar throat and headache after the first night and the third night was getting worse. By the way, something weird happened. At midnight the TV was turned on without screen but playing sound only. I have to turn it off manually in the midnight. It happened again on the second night and ruined my sleeping. On the third and fourth night, I have to unplug the power cord to avoid it happened again. 😆
