Really enjoyed watching the sunset over the riverbank on our last night before flying out. We were only there one night. This was a nice alternative to a traditional hotel near the airport.

Our room was small, but very clean and had everything that we needed (our own bathroom, a mini fridge). It was a beautiful location. We only stayed for one night before we got back on the road to continue our travel, so we didn’t have a chance to use the kitchen etc, but it all looked well-maintained. The check-in package was very clear and helpful for our stay. Lovely little place to stay in Calgary.

We booked this place for our last night of our honeymoon, but when we arrived, we could not even get in. We had never received any information, including any emails, messages, or anything. When we tried to call and text multiple times, over the course of 30 minutes, there was no response. We then had to leave, and find other accommodations at the last minute. This was incredibly disappointing, as we had already paid in full, and there has been no word about a refund. DO NOT book here, they will steal your money and can not be contacted.

First there are more rooms than parking spots so someone will need to park on the streets. I reached out to the hose about street parking rules but the host never replied back. The place needs alot of maintenance. The floor was broken in the bathroom, and I stubbed my toes. The tiles were also cracked. The room was also extremely cold. There were space heater in the room but it was really noisy and did not work well. Lastly, the host needs to significantly improve their communication. The entire street that the hotel was on was closed due to the Calgary marathon the next day. I only found out at 6 in the morning because I went out to my car and saw people blocking the street for the marathon. I had to rush and pack up my things in the early dawn to get out of the street before it was completely closed off. I was lucky and was able to make it out but I would imagine some guests were stuck in the hotel for hours because the police officer told me that cars were off limits once the marathoners were nearby. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would strongly suggest that anyone planning to reserve this place rethink their decision.

First time staying here. It was very nice and reasonably comfortable. Never met any staff which was a first for me but access was fine. The bed was a very soft; too soft for my liking but I slept fine thankfully. The fireplace in the room was great and the bathroom and shower were perfect. Parking was a bit challenging at times but thankfully it worked out. One of the spots was taken up by a truck that was being worked on which made an already challenging situation for parking more so. It was nice being close to where I needed to go so that was great and one of the reasons I chose this location. Overall, things were good.
Never used it but nice jacuzzi.

Personalmente fue una muy mala experiencia ya que ni siquiera pude encontrar ni entrar en mi habitación, en las especificaciones dice que cuentan con transporte hacia y desde el aeropuerto, cuando les pregunté sobre eso me dijeron que no contaban con el transporte, después fui al día siguiente por la mañana (la noche que llegué tuve que rentar una habitación de hotel en otro lado) no recibí respuesta hasta horas después de haber pagado todas las noches de estadía en otro hotel, quise hacer cancelación de la reserva, pedir el reembolso y no recibí ninguna respuesta. Antes de esto hice una reservación antes, puse que pagaría hasta llegar al establecimiento y dos semanas después me cancelaron la reservación por no haber pagado desde antes, cuando tenía la opinión de hacerlo al llegar, hice de nuevo la reservación, la pagué y sucedió lo que ya escribí anteriormente. Intenté contactarme con el personal por mensajes y llamadas pero no recibí ninguna respuesta durante horas.

Our stay was lovely! The room was nice and clean, and the location was great; great to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Anything you needed food/ amenities wise was only a short drive away, or you could easily Skip/ Instacart it if you don’t want to leave the room. The shower was incredible! Like a real spa experience. Bed was so comfortable.. we had an excellent sleep both nights. We would definitely return here :)

After looking at the room we choose not to stay. We accept the 200 dollar loss. Calling a small dank room with no ventilation and a bathroom down the hall to share with several other people a Luxury Room is simply dishonest.

The morning of the check-in day we received the welcome information to check-in while traveling to Calgary. When we went to the property it was a house about 3 km away from the property we had rented. It was not nestled along the river like the property we rented with a view of the rivers, hills and bridge from the back lawn. We had received no other communication about a change and could not reach them (we started reaching our to them at 4:30 and they said they were open until 7PM and just text or call- we did both). Eventually someone from the property where we had been placed texted us back saying we had been significantly upgraded from the deluxe King room at the beautiful place along the river to the small private house in town. There was no parking in front (the city had no parking signs all in front, but some parking down the street). The house was fine and also had a hot tub in the backyard (as did the facility which we rented). We had picked Along River Road because of the amazing location and view right on the river bank and the view at that property is stunning. Hotels.com was tried very had to determine what had happened and fix it and offered to move us (but at this point we had spent 3 hours trying to find out what was going on and were hungry and tired & did not want to have to move). The person from the property we had been relocated to offered to refund us or we could stay where we were. We have not had experiences like this with hotels.com or others.
