"The best value in Calgary" In my many travels to Calgary, I've stayed at most of the major hotels. 5 Calgary Downtown Suites is the one I prefer. It is by FAR the best value, and very comfortable.. The suites are actually suites... with plenty of space to spread out,. including fully equipped kitchen. There are occasional minor annoyances.... esp. the elevators are slow, and sometimes not enough staff at front desk, but the advantages outweigh any problems.

"Fab" was sorry to leave this place after 5 nights stay! Booked on the internet we had no idea what we were in for! They arranged a Sedan Service from the airport for us, luxury, and inexpensive. Altho the decor of the suite was not fabulous, there was nothing to complain about. Staff fell over themselves to be helpful, helped us plan excursions, recommended some fab tours (and cheap!) and came up to the room to assist with queries rather than deal with them downstairs or on phone. Breakfast (complimentary) was the best I had for 3 weeks in Alberta and BC tho the evening meals were a bit "fancy" for my taste. Nothing wrong with them tho. Taxi's and coach pick up points right outside the door, on site shop, laundry in basement, complimentary internet access on 6th floor and outdoor pool. I got to know a local inhabitant who used to live in the building in the 1960's when it was new. Built as an apartment building, that explains why the rooms are so huge, and ours had a lovely balcony overlooking the street and pool. Would definately stay here again.

"WOW!" I couldn't believe how big these rooms are. Not to mention a full buffet breakfast was included in our rate, it was a nice break from all the dried out muffins and stuff that most hotels serve. The location was perfect and the staff rocked. They really make you feel at home.

"A great end to our holiday" We stayed in July 2004 - what a great place. We had a large family suite with a double bed in one room and two large single beds in the other (+ kitchen etc). Our booking included buffet breakfast - the hotel provided us with a voucher at check-in which we showed each morning. But watch out, breakfast gets very crowed and we had to wait for a table most mornings. We ate in the hotel restaurant a few times (most restaurants in central Calgary will not admit children at any time due to a local by-law prohibiting children being in any smoking establishment). We were pleased to discover that the lunchtime menu (which is more family orientated) is also available in the evenings - but we weren't given this menu automatically, so just ask. Only criticism was that restaurant service was a bit on the slow side. We would definitely stay again.
