    The only thing I did not like was in our room there curtains were just shear so our room stayed light most of the night they need to have curtains that actually close and make the room dark

    The location was really good for the appointments we needed to get to breakfast was your typical continental breakfast . Staff was very nice and helpful

    Other costumers yelling outside (on the walkway in front of the rooms) at 2:30 a.m. I know the staff can't do discipline outside but it would be nice to have indications clearly visible in the lobby and on the door of each room regarding the noise past 11 p.m.

    Fair price for what you get Not too far away from airport Room was clean and bed was confortable

    Breakfast was really basic, mostly dry goods. I think there was a pancake maker. The cable TV wasn't that great. It kept going off, then coming back on.

    The room was simple but clean, quiet, warm, the bed comfortable with lots of restaurants within walking distance. The wifi worked fine for me. The location, for us, was perfect as we had to go to the Tom Baker Centre. We left our Jeep at the hotel & took a cab there & back. I really appreciated them letting us leave our vehicle as we did not get back until after check out; plus I am not a confident city driver.

    I like everything especially the front desk staff and the day cleaner except for the lady who prepared breakfast on the 28th morning . I was asking nicely if they had a microwave down stairs and she answered back like she was annoyed and tell me “don’t you have it in your room” i said yes there is i just might thought that theres one downstairs. And she was looking at me in a cold way. Never had saw that staff smiled at me once NEVER we already been staying twice in Econo lodge and will always choose to stay there whenever we come back to Calgary despite of whatever happened.

    I think breakfast could be a bit better, apples no other fruit, no yogurt - just really basic.

    Room was nice and quiet. Pol and spa were nice but not open in the morning which is to bad. It said open at 7:00am but always had a closed sign up. Breakfast was simple but good.

    First, I was charged the cost of the hotel room a few days in advance of my stay and the room was booked as a pay at the property. Second, after checkout and after I was back at home; I noticed that I was refunded the cost of the room instead of the damage deposit. Therefore, instead of paying $92.65, I paid $100 for the room.

    The room was clean and comfortable enough. There was a breakfast Included. Location was decent.

    We were in room 308 - my only complaint is the bathroom faucet is leaking! And the mini fridge seems to be making a bit of a humming/whining sound. Just thought you should be made aware! I forgot to mention at the time of check out.

    Wasn’t too far from where our show was last night which was nice. Second time staying at this specific location - picked again as the building was really quiet, didn’t hear any of our neighbours even though the parking lot was full. Easy to Uber to and from.

    The included breakfast was very basic, white bread no toaster. Sweet cereals and sugary juice. The only protein were hard boiled eggs that were peeled and in a pail. No idea how long they had been sitting there. Breakfast not available until until 7:00. Bottom line, plan to bring your own breakfast makings and prep in your room.

    Simple low cost budget hotel. Near the places I needed to get to.

    It was very convenient for 1 night for 4 people. It is a bit far away from the center but the bus is quite convenient. I would recommend because it is not too expensive and the room is very comfortable. We had a very good breakfast.
