Canadas Best Value Inn Calgary

Wifi wasn’t good. No hot water. Lighting was awful to get ready in.

Staff was wonderful, told us that the hotel was built in the 70’s, also that it would be shutting down in a couple weeks, which I’m honestly not very surprised about. If it were to stay open, would definitely need serious updating. Lights, mirrors, bathtub, shower head, shower controls, curtains, and walls would all need to be replaced. Shower controls were the most difficult thing to figure out how to use; the blue knob wasn’t for cold water but was for switching between the shower head and the faucet, could never get the right temperature and had to change hot or cold water levels every two minutes. Water and hair from the last person’s shower were still in the tub when we arrived. Toilet didn’t work properly, had no instructions to hold down the lever in order for it to actually flush (we found out we had to do this about 10 minutes before we had to leave). Alarm clock in the empty room beside us started going off at midnight and wasn’t shut off until 12:30 after we and another room called the front desk to complain. Boyfriend didn’t trust the floor enough to walk barefoot or put his clothes or bags down on it and wore his socks the whole time. Again, front desk staff were amazing, but every housekeeper we came across looked miserable, they didn’t have proper housekeeper carts and used a shopping cart probably stolen from a grocery store instead. Definitely what I expected for $73 for one night. Would use as a last resort, but never as a plan A.

Arrived at midnight from a long travel day. The room was very warm and the thermostat was turned down as far as it could go. Could not cool the room except by opening the bathroom window. Made for an uncomfortable sleep, awoke early and left without eating the breakfast which looked OK. The lighting was a bit dim in the room.

About as basic as you can get but the service was friendly, price was cheap and it was clean. Its reeeeeeally outdated and rundown though so even thought its clean, you get paranoid about it being dirty.

Value hotel..older motif. Had same room on second visit..still had not fixed shower head that sprays at ceiling even after I told them 2 week earlier. Basic accommodation. Best part is staff is super polite and friendly.
