The hotel exceeded my expectations from their vibrant and helpful staff, to their excellent continental breakfast. I selected the location based on being nearby a few sites I wanted to walk or bike to while in Calgary like the Peace bridge. Their location could not be more prime in the heart of Kensongton, which I came to adore. There were so many walkable sites and dining options. The hotel offered bikes and there was also a nearby e bike rental too. I was only there for 2 nights and felt like I had an experience and memories in such a short window to last a lifetime. ![View off Memorial Bridge, a 2 minute walk across from hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c307ee61-e137-4717-b0a9-ab75a8e12780-1750442651916.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Inviting entry ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c26b329a-697c-4a92-857c-e337c044d661-1750442651722.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Peace bridge view from Prince's Island Park, 8 minutes bike ride from hotel. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/358ac6af-d27c-4d22-9d66-51f3d5dd218f-1750442652101.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily Aug 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was nice and homey ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Sep 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and close to lots of shopping and eating in Kensington.
