There was a reservation error that I did not notice in the confirmation email and the front desk staff went above and beyond expectations to rectify the error and make everything correct. A very enjoyable stay, excellent breakfast, excellent location.
The Best Western Plus Village Park Inn is located just off the expressway in Northwest Calgary. We had a good room on the ground floor right across the hall from the hotel dining room where we had dinner and the included breakfast the next morning. Free parking was available right next to the building.
This hotel is my go to while in Calgary, consistently happy with the staff, property and services. Great place to stay and has amenities on the property I appreciate after work if I don't feel like heading out. Also very quiet at night, excellent place stay if you're looking for similar things.
In an area of town that used to be called hotel village as it is surrounded by low cost and budget hotels all built in the 1960s - I really didn't want to like it. I stayed in many of these hotels, including this one, when I was kid. It is a little dingy and dark but in the end it turned out great and the stay was well worth the cost. The rooms are dated but the beds comfortable. The air conditioning worked well and the shower and bathroom clean. The breakfast was very good with a good hot selection and a variety of fruits. Service at the front desk was friendly - I would stay again.
We pretty well stay at Best Western Hotels because they consistently treat us well. The Best Western Village Park Inn is definitely one of our favorites. We are Best Western Rewards members and that gives us complimentary underground parking, which is nice in minus 30 degree temperatures. Their complimentary breakfast is always delicious with a great selection.
Great location as we go to visit my mother in law at Brentwood Intercare in Calgary.Staff needs to communicate better with each other. Clean and quiet Restaurant breakfast not hot although great food choices.We were very disappointed the pool and hot tub were closed with no heads up.Prices are very reasonable and location for us a big plus!
At first this hotel looked promising. Until the small things started adding up. First, we requested early check-in, when we booked months before, to get settled before the football game started. No answer from the hotel. Next we arrived and discovered the hot tub was closed but the pool was open. But only until 9 pm on a weekend? Seems very strange. When we got to our room, it wasn't the room we thought we had booked. The pictures showed a bathroom with an actual shower, not a tin bathtub/shower. Then the closer you looked the worse it got. For me, at least. As a tradesman who takes pride in his work, there obviously wasn't any in the construction of this hotel. That's lowest bidder construction for you I guess. Next time maybe they'll remember to insulate between rooms. The tv kinda sorta worked. The connection was fuzzy at times, and not all the channels listed on the guide were available. There were absolutely no options for ordering a movie or streaming anything. Cable television was the only option. But at least the breakfast was good. Lots of options to choose from and the buffet was well tended by attentive staff. Overall, for a $250 room, a total disappointment. My expectations were much higher. Definitely not going back in the future.
I find it really frustrating when a hotel advertises having a fitness centre and then you discover how deeply flawed the fitness centre is. And how obvious it is that staff ever go there to see if the equipment is working. The exercise bikes were lesson and frustration, and the woman near me using a Different aerobic machine was equally frustrated. You have to pedal to get it going, but then the buttons don't respond to your finger. Takes forever to get it working. The universal gym also was impossible to use. No towels.
Friendly staff, great breakfast, the location was great close to the airport! I would recommend the hotel for my next trip to Calgary. The hotel was a little dated, but the rooms were pretty nice and clean, one of the better properties. Thank you for a great stay!
The Beds were very comfortable with lots of wonderful pillows. Breakfast was delicious with a large variety of food choices for every diet. The staff was professional, friendly and helpful. The rooms were quiet, and the towels were large and plentiful. My daughter was recovering from a medical operation, and all of this made our stay more pleasant. The location was easy to access.
Beds were comfy and the room was fine. Bathroom is extremely small and had poor ventilation so having a 5 min shower resulted in the mirror and walls literally dripping with condensation. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It had a large deck area with decent patio furniture so it was easy to supervise. We liked having a room near the pool for convenient access. Pool closes at 9 pm which is nice to keep noise down. Being that the pool is in the atrium with rooms surrounding it, it's noisy. The early closing time was great. Breakfast was a nightmare all 3 days. The hotel had too many guests to accommodate the set up. There were rarely enough tables, food and coffee was forever running out, plates ran out, etc. We were either waiting in line for things to be refilled or standing in a corner eating because there were no seats. Staff worked hard to keep up, but they just couldn't. The tables weren't wiped down between guests. It was total, utter chaos. I'm sure there are days/times when it isn't as busy, but when the hotel is full I would recommend finding breakfast elsewhere. Underground parking is great, but stalls are super small and we had to squish between vehicles and /or pillars and hardly had enough room to open our doors to get in and out. We would stay again as a family, but likely not if it was just adults.
Nice and clean accommodations. Spacious room. Comfy beds. Free breakfast was ok. Convenient location. Free underground parking as we stayed 5 nights. Reasonable rate. Friendly snd knowledgeable staff. I would recommend staying here.
Centrally located and easy hotel access and secure underground parking. Excellent breakfast, Nice menu in the restaurant/lounge. Good value and staff accommodated all my accessibility needs for the bathroom. Front desk staff couldn't have been more helpful.
Staff needs to be more attentive of their guests ...... Front desk people were too busy visiting amongst themselves and left us standing there waiting to check in until we confronted them to see if we could check in. Restaurant had very slow service and we had to wait to be acknowledged.......
Very nice open courtyard concept hotel. Very clean and nicely kept BW. We've stayed here before as a stopover before heading to Banff. Would recommend to travellers looking for a fairly inexpensive 2/3 star hotel but with nice open courtyard concept with indoor pool/ hot tub. Fun for kids too.
Overall a good stay. The floor plan was a little strange and made for a lot of noise with children screaming in the pool right beside the restaurant/bar. Rooms were very clean, appreciated the size of the fridge and the well working AC in this heat wave. Also enjoyed the underground parking. Definitely would stay again, probably one of the largest continental breakfast layouts I have seen!
Great stay! First time in Canada, and this hotel seemed central to everything we had planned. Visiting the zoo, heritage park, stampede, mall, olympic park - everything was around 15 minute drive or train ride. The train was just up the road, maybe a 5 minute walk for average walking speed, really reasonable prices. We paid 3.70 each way per adult to get to calgary centre. Theres a lovely restaurant called Nicks up the road that we tried one evening - unbelievable steak!! So worth the price, not cheap, around 65 for a 12oz ribeye with a side and free salad and free bread. Definitely recommend if staying at this hotel. The hotel itself is absolutely fine, 4*. Just needed a little spruce but ultimately it was super clean (our room cleaners were amazing!) And had everything we needed. Each day we had a refill of x2 bottles of water, fresh cups, tea & coffee which was great & free of charge. Our little one loved the pool, adequate size, never too many people in. The seats around the pool where a lovely touch, wish we could have brought some drinks from the bar (even soft drinks) it would have made for a lovely relaxing evening one night but signs were up saying not to do this. Breakfast each morning, I felt like it was impossible to grumble, it was free. Warm food was either sausage or bacon, then potatoes and scrambled egg. There was then a large selection of continental - bread, bagels, butters, jams, philadelphia, yoghurt, fresh fruit bowl, apples and oranges, pancakes or french toast, oatmeal (certain its made with water, really watery taste, had it once and it wasnt great) toppings for oatmeal and pancakes. They would suprise you every now and then and do quiche or burrito, quiche wasnt the best (as an english person we are maybe a little snobby about quiche) but the burrito was lovely. Plenty of drink options, juices, coffee & teas. Sure i have forgotten something but ultimately it was great. Staff : fantastic, couldnt fault any of them. When you talk to them they talk back politely. They are at work, is anyone thrilled to be at work? No. But they clearly try there absolute best, it must be a good place to work for them to be upbeat and responsive all the time. Restaurant - we had tea twice in the hotel, kids meals are reasonable and adults meals are ok. Pasta choice a little on the expensive side when adding a meat/seafood option based on it being a hotel restaurant. It was nice, just personally not living quite up to that price point taste wise (only by a couple of dollars per person) staff very attentive, did feel a little sorry for the woman working one evening, seemed a little short staffed for the number they had there and we waited a while for drinks but she got there and couldnt be to blame. Car park was super easy to use, plenty of parking available. Overall, if I was to visit Canada again I wouldnt hesitate using this hotel as a base.
We stayed here for 3 nights during the Stampede. The location is way out of town but it is five minutes to the near train station which was very convenient. When we got there we couldn't believe our eyes in that they have a swimming pool and hot tub directly above the restaurant in the middle of the hotel. The rooms are built around a central open space which houses the restaurant and breakfast area and the noise echoes around the hotel. It's completely mad! We had children screaming at the top of their voices whilst we ate dinner and the smell of chlorine prevailed! The staff were lovely and the food is really good, we ate there every night and enjoyed our meals. The hotel is dated and our bathroom was very small but with lovely towels and the beds were comfortable.
Couple of nights in Calgary. Economic value including breakfast. Close to train station to get to city and the Stampede for our stay. Rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Good base to do a couple of activities around the city without being too hectic.
We were giving the hospital rate, however we're treated less than satisfactory. I suggest staying somewhere else unless they have nobody in the hotel because if they can get a penny more for their room, they will treat you like garbage until you leave.
Usually stay at this hotel the two or three times a year I visit Calgary on business. This time, went to see the Stampeders play and the stadium is across the road (walking distance). So, excellent location, good amenities, room quality is good, and the lounge/restaurant was good.
Very nice hotel with beautiful room and comfy bed. Breakfast is great. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
The hotel was nice and close to the Alberta Children's hospital. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection and the staff working the breakfast were super nice and friendly
Love the location of this property. Nice clean spacious rooms. Lots of underground parking. And very good included breakfast.
The hotel looks very nice and modern. They indoor swimming pool was perfect for the boy. Breakfast was one of the best we had. Not noisy at all.
This hotel is nicely renovated with a great layout having the pool/restaurant atrium with rooms surrounding. HOWEVER the staff, specifically the hotel manager on duty during our stay was extremely rude and ruined the stay for myself the the youth hockey team we booked with. An issue or incident took place with another guest at the pool where this guest was rude and vulgar to another guest. Neither party involved in this incident was associated in any way with me or my group of kids. Instead of addressing the incident by removing or dealing with the involved guest, the hotel manager kicked all of our kids and two other elderly women out of the pool and shut it down 1.5 hours early. When I tried to plead on behalf of my kids who had done nothing wrong he was extremely rude and dismissive. The next night while standing on the balcony, the same manager walked by and grabbed my arm to get my attention and told me “no drinking” assuming the glass bottle of kombucha juice I was drinking as alcohol. It was inappropriate to make an assumption and say something without knowing and much more inappropriate to touch me without my permission.
overall the staff were friendly and very helpful. A few things though if you are handicapped, you can not use the hot tub as it has 6 stairs to get up to the tub.
the hotel is clean and interesting layout, the room was very quiet and comfortable. The location is near downtown but difficult to access if you are driving due to traffic and weird road design.
I had another great stay at the Village Park Inn in Calgary. The staff are always accommodating, and it is a very clean quiet well kept property. Parking is easy and I have an oversize vehicle so it's nice to have outdoor and indoor as an option, and plenty of spaces. The restaurant and lounge were great as always.
Updated property with good amenities. Underground parking is great though elevator can be slow at times. Lounge is nice to have with decent food when you don't want to go out for dinner. Breakfast is better than most but seemed a little fewer options were offered this year compared to previous years.
Nice hotel, very clean and modern. Staff was kind and helpful. Good free breakfast with a better than average selection
On our most recent trip to Calgary we stayed one night at this property and was our second time here. Both times we received excellent service from front desk (check in); restaurant service & housekeeping. Complimentary breakfast was good and service excellent. They offer safe, secure underground parking. Rooms always clean and all amenities in good working order. High speed wireless internet very good and nice to have a fridge & microwave in the room. We did not use the indoor pool or whirlpool but nice feature inside the property. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Really amazing hotel staff can't say enough about their service. Breakfast is good with a surprisingly large amount of fresh fruit.
This may be our new go to place when we stay in Calgary. The hotel was comfortable,clean and we liked the bar/restaurant right in the hotel so we didn't have to leave once we'd checked in.
I stayed in many Best Western hotels across the province. This one one of the best I have pleasure to stay. Planning to stay there again with my kids this summer. Front desk service was very helpful above expected.
Dog barking till 2am when repeated complaints made nothing happened. Very little compensation made by staff in the morning for a terrible night sleep
This is the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in. My TV volume cannot drown out the noise of the first floor pool in my room on the fourth floor. There are hours of screaming at night and I am embarrassed to have booked this place. It's popular with hockey teams where no one supervises the children and parents drink in the hallways.
If you were looking for a relaxing, stay where you can sleep in, this is not the hotel for you. The rooms face a pool where you can hear children screaming all day and all night. There is no adult time in the pool so you have to share the pool and hot tub with small children. This was not a relaxing stay at all. I would recommend another location if you are an adult traveler, seeking relaxation.
The service, cleanliness and overall experience was very good. The location is a bit tough if you do not have a car. The LRT (Banff Trail Station) is an easy walk away, if you do not have any concerns taking this mode of transport as takes you into the heart of Calgary.
This hotel was incredible. The atmosphere in the building was calm & professional the staff were very pet friendly & showed no hold back for loving on the dogs.Rooms, pool, & fitness center were clean
This hotel is great for small business meetings with quiet, clean & comfortable hotel rooms & meeting rooms with a large, hot, & delicious included breakfast and very accommodating staff in all areas. Highly recommend!
We were so happy with everything about this hotel for our 6 day stay. From check-in to check-out everything went very smoothly. We appreciated how quiet it was in our room as well. I'd definitely recommend it!!
In searching for a hotel to stay at that was close to the Foothills Hospital and checking out several hotels in Motel Village are, a very close friend recommended Best Western to me. I trusted their review, and booked for a 5 day stay as had to be close to the hospital. My friends recommendation turned out to be right on. I definitely will come back again but for relaxation purposes instead of medical. The staff are courteous, polite, helpful and the food was very tasty and the room was very attractive and clean Thanks to all the Staff and Management at Best Western, and definitely will stay at your hotel and other Best Western Hotels in other cities.
As time passes and I require more testing and procedures for my health, I always stay at Best Western across from the hospital. ( i live in town) This makes my travel for testing a very short trip and i can rest easy before and after treatments / tests. The first time there I found it a bit tricky to hit the main entrance. I have stayed probably 6 times in 2023 and have never had a bad experience.
Can't say enough about this hotel from the staff to the amenities to the the location with easy access to many areas. We were here for surgery and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. The rooms are comfortable, food is great and staff are accommodating and friendly.
Awesome customer service . My wife had surgery at Foothills Hospital during our stay and the staff was very courteous and helpful. We had to arrive a day early and were able to book the room and then had to add another day and that was also done. Thank you to all the staff. Loved the restaurant in hotel which helped with having to leave the hotel after a day with my wife at the hospital.
Very clean room and amenities, helpful and friendly staff, food was good and complimentary breakfast was actually decent (they so often aren't). Overall really happy with our stay as well as the location of the hotel.
Atrium design very nice. Rooms ok, a little dated. Bathrooms could be nicer, very small. 25 min walk to Foothills Med Ctr. Food pretty good and reasonable, nice bar/restaurant. Waiter Steven was awesome! Free breakfast was good. Hot and fresh. Would definitely return.
Clean, comfortable hotel with all the amenities. The breakfast options were varied and plentiful. The restaurant served excellent food with good pricing. Very friendly service. Underground parking. A very enjoyable stay.
Travelling from BC. arrived at hotel late check in quick and the front staff were friendly. Bed average Shower great hot and lots of pressure Breakfast needs a lot of improvement not good at all good tastes off and not a lot of selection for the price you pay for the hotel expecting more Rooms and hotel was ok Area was ok also
Stayed here during our trip. Location was great, service was friendly and helpful. Hotel room was clean. Plenty of Breakfast options. Had an issue connecting to internet but was quickly fixed with help from front desk. We enjoyed the hot tub and fitness center.
Great hotel, stayed here for one night the night of our wedding. Stayed in the suite with a jacuzzi Clean and spacious room Great location especially with it being across from McMahon stadium and close to UofC. Pool and hot tub is very nice Friendly staff
Great staff, clean rooms and comfy beds. Pool is nice, continental breakfast is generous. Secure underground parking is a plus. Only 10 minutes to Foothills, so a reasonable cab fare if needed. Medical rate was great, even in summer. Only downside was the TV format and remote could stand to be upgraded, haven't had to watch a Chanel guide slowly go around in years.
We had an unexpected medical emergency and stayed at the hotel 2 nights. The service was great from booking over the phone, checking in and everything else. Hot breakfast was a nice way to start the very hectic days and the convenience to the Foothills Hospital was amazing. The cameras in the parking lot also help ease some anxiety of parking in the lot. My husband had forgot his wallet on the ledge outside our room and once it was reported to the front desk, the front desk attendant knocked on our door and the wallet was returned with all money ($700) still in it. would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone!!
We were staying with our family and dog. When we booked over the phone, the lady suggested to add that we wanted a "quiet room" (forewarning?) so we did. When we arrived the front desk was friendly and apologized that the room was across the elevators, but nothing else. No worries. The room had no bedding for the pull out couch and the guy who brought it said not a word, just handed the linen and left. The pool was ice cold. The shower temperature varied from ice to searing. This all would be ok, except for what happened next... At 8 pm. there was a wedding reception directly beside our room with loud karaoke until midnight. I did call and ask for ear plugs, which they brought without a word. I didn't sleep much that night. The breakfast buffet was great with lots of options.
The area was sketchy and not great to access. Across from the stadium. It has great underground parking which big vehicles can fit in. Nice set up with stairs and elevator. However the pool is very small and the hot tub is TINY. You're in the open in the middle of hotel which is a bit odd. Small awkward bathroom layout in the room. Breakfast was good.
We stayed for two nights. Very clean, the layout of the hotel is great. Elevators are bit slow. But really enjoyed what we got for the prices. We had been travelling and this was definitely the best bag for your buck.
The pool was disgusting the water had not been treated with enough pool chemicals so you got out smelling like dirty feet. We had to stay as my family member was in the foothills hospital in icu fighting for her life after a car accident. The room medical compassion rate is $150 which is horrendous. So not only do you have the stress of your family member fighting for their life you have to stress out about the fact that how the hell are you going to be able to afford to stay in a city you don't live to stay close to the family member. The rate needs to be reconsidered. Especially since people using it in that situation use it the same as we did for a few short hours to sleep.
Rooms are okay, washrooms are small and without exhaust fan. The breakfast was average with no proper vegetarian options. 1 pancake machine for all the guests and it caused huge line up in the morning.
Hotel staff very friendly. The rooms are updated. Bathroom is quite small but fine. The room doors are old and because of the hotel layout being open there is a lot of noise. But by 10:30 pm it was pretty quiet. Pool and hot tub are small but clean. Breakfast was ok. It's a bit of a scattered set up they have but staff were attentive and food was constantly restocked.
This hotel has it all. Large clean rooms, pool, hot tub, restaurant, free breakfast and secure underground parking. It sits right next to the main roadways to get anywhere in any direction in Calgary. It's only a 10 minute walk to the C-Train if you want to use public transportation. The staff are very friendly, courteous and provide exceptional service. This place is the best!
This is my all time favorite hotel and I have traveled to a lot of countries and have stayed in many hotels. Layout of rooms very comfortable,clean and well provisioned but truly my most favorite thing is the front desk staff. I booked my room online wrong and git the wrong rate and when I told them it was just fixed. No problems or big discussions it was just promptly and courteously fixed. I always feel valued and welcomed by the staff. Free morning breakfast is amazing staff very attentive and wonderful selection.
I visited the BW Plus Village Park Inn during Stampede Days and had an enjoyable stay. The front desk staff were very helpful, and check-in was quick and easy. The room was clean and equipped like most hotels with a mini-fridge, TV, coffee maker, and AC. The surprise was in the form of free snacks, which was above-and-beyond what I had experienced in BW and similar hotels in the past. Breakfast was included in the cost, and it consisted of a suite of cereals, yogurt, fruit, breads/buns/bagels, and the standard hashbrowns, eggs, and sausages plus coffee, tea, and milk. I had a 4th floor room tucked away from the main hallway, so, it was nice and quiet. The atrium in the middle of the hotel does have a pool, and it can be noisy in the early evening. I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past, and I would recommend to stay here.
The desk people were exceptionally helpful. They steered us in the right direction to take the public transit to the Stampede. (Bad pun.). The stop was a short walking distance. The breakfast is very good. Best coffee we have had in one of those included AM meals. We returned from the rodeo too exhausted to go out again and the in house restaurant was surprisingly good. My salad was delicious.
I stayed here in Summer 2023 and it was a very nice hotel. The place is well maintained, they have a very big pool and a nice restaurant. There is underground parking and surface parking. Its great if you want to stay with a family because the pool was really big for a hotel. IF you really don't like the smell of a pool or any noise during the day it may not be the best spot for you.
The Best Western Plus Village Park is an excellent hotel that is modern, clean, well appointed and reasonably priced. If you are going to Banff, it is located on the west side of the city and right on Hwy 1.
Booked here specifically because they had laundry facilities. Myself and a few others needed to do a some wash and were upset that upon trying to use the dryers, one took over two hours to dry and clothes were still wet and the other dryer ate all the coins and wouldn't turn on. Super frustrating when you're passing thru and need a pit stop for a good nights rest and the ability to do a load of laundry and end up with loads of undried clothes. There were other issues we ran into(mainly lacking things in the room) but those are small in comparison. Do better BW. Fix your dryers and update your rooms.
I recently stayed at this hotel for a 1 night work trip. This hotel is very nice inside, has a great restaurant and also the staff is very friendly and accommodating, they allowed me to check in early when I arrived as well. Rooms are excellent and beds are very comfortable. It is also a quiet hotel once the pool closes, which isn't late anyway. I will stay again!
I stay in Calgary for business several times a year, and find that the Village Park Inn has the best value and location. Hot breakfast is appreciated. Easy to get to and from other locations in Calgary and the on site restaurant is there if you don't want to go out.
This hotel was perfect for us 5 mins from the Foothills hospital. Perfect room with couch and comfortable king bed for me to recover in. Great breakfasts. A nice workout room for my husband to keep busy. Great food at the pub. We didn't even have to go out. Even washed the car in the garage. Friendly staff Nice clean hotel. Perfect to recover comfortably
Change TV to smart TV. Pressure of water is less ...it tooed me thirty minutes to finished because the flow of water by the shower is less.... Shampoo and conditioner were good especially the lotion..
We have stayed at the Village Park Inn many times over many years. It is a reliably comfortable, clean and safe haven, minutes away from Foothills Hospital and with ready access to several malls. The heated underground parking is a terrific benefit in horrible weather.
Our last night away from home after Christmas travel. The hotel offers nice, clean rooms. There is room for your luggage to be set up and the bathroom has room for two sets of toiletries. The heating/cooling works efficiently and is not noisy. The pool is not cold and deep enough to enjoy by an adult. There is no water slide. The hot tub works wells and could be slightly warmer but it has been operational every visit even during winter. The restaurant has good selection of food items and is a pleasant space for a meal. The included breakfast has numerous hot and cold selections to suit most everybody and there is sufficient room so that everyone in not crowded. Location along major travel routes makes it east to get around and the underground parking is appreciated during the winter months. Pricing is fair during the winter and shoulder seasons.
The hotel location was excellent. Very convenient having a restaurant in the hotel. Heated underground parking was great especially when the temperature was -21 C! Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
We recently stayed at this hotel and had a really great experience. Neelu, at the front desk, was a pleasure to work with. She accommodated an early check-in and also helped us extend our stay at this hotel. We really liked the hotel atmosphere and enjoyed the hot breakfast and heated garage parking. They also have great wifi. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Calgary!
Absolutely no disappointments! The rooms were very clean and accommodating and the staff was friendly and helpful. It had everything that I needed and I loved the underground parking. I highly recommend this hotel.
I have stayed here many times, and I wish they would update their address to be more accurate. It is not technically on Crowchild, but on a side road that runs parallel to it. Staff was friendly, but didn't get the rooms I requested. Our room was good, but we did not have any conditioner or body lotion. It was wall mounted, with body lotion super low and conditioner missing completely in shower. We asked but only received five tiny little bottles of body lotion. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was good. Would prefer a mini fridge of yogurt selections, but it was recently changed to a yogurt dispenser that only has one flavor: french vanilla.
Very nice and clean hotel. Cool interior design with all indoor facing rooms. Friendly staff at check in. Very delicious breakfast, lots of options to choose from. Clean pool and hot tub. Great room, comfy bed and good water pressure in shower. Would definitely stay again!
I had a Dr appt, Best Western had a special rate if you have a medical appt. I felt it was excellent value , the included breakfast is excellent. The onsite restaurant/lounge is worth eating at, good food and drink.
We had a great stay in this well designed and modern hotel. The breakfast area was very spacious. Good variety of foods. Great open indoor pool area. Most important… everything was very clean. We highly recommend this hotel.
Awesome hotel in an exceptional location. Extremely friendly staff,great amenities and walking distance to restaurants and shopping centres. Prices are great and rooms are very clean. Been staying there over 25 years and never an issue
My family and I were happy and beyond satisfied. The hotel delighted us with friendly staff, clean room or ambiance, and yummy food( complimentary breakfast). With safe parking and chrome cast TV, I was able to catch up with the Korean episodes via my Netflix subscription. Highly recommended! Easy to book and check in - affordable price yet with 5 Star experience.
We were there for a medical procedure and it could not have been handier. Garage parking near elevator and our room right across the hall. Good food & service. Pool & spa warm & clean. Highly recommend this BW.
We stayed for 10 days oct/Nov 2022 and found everything was wonderful and the staff were excellent whenever we needed any help but that wasn't very often. The most help was when staff told us NOT to turn left at the lights up the street to get to the Foothills Medical Centre, but to turn right and carry on that way to 16th, saved us all kinds of aggravation.
Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Loved the room. Comfortable bed. Beautiful lobby. This is my third stay and will always recommend to others. My family always choice this over any other place. Cheers
Went for a trip to the hospital for my Daughter and decided to stay a night at the hotel. Love the idea that we could book a late check out on the web site because she has a small Baby and we needed a place to stay while she went for her test. With the breakfast included and the quality of the food it was a great choice to stay here. I will be recommending this as a great place to stay in Calgary
Attended a concert on campus. Hotel staff professional & friendly, rooms clean and have everything you need. Restaurant on site convenient, service friendly & efficient, food was as expected for pub grub, arrived quickly, cooked well and tasty. Breakfast was again efficient, lots of items to choose from and space to sit. Staff attentive and helpful. I would recommend and will stay here again.
Eight of us in total came to Calgary to attend a musical concert. Everyone was pleased with all that the hotel had to offer. From the underground parking, pool, hot tub, food and location, all was quite satisfactory.
Whilst the hotel stay inside was good, the fact my truck was broken into overnight left me with a very bitter taste. All the staff said was that they would review the video footage. I won't stay there again.
Travelling with a pet can be challenging, many pet friendly hotels tend to place you in a dirty, outdated room. The Best Western exceeded our expectations. The room was clean, comfortable and not shoved off away from amenities. The buffet breakfast had a good selection, though we wished the fruit salad had been available every day! The hotel restaurant was also good quality and reasonably priced, we were very impressed.
breakfast was cold the lounge restaurant food was cold the pop was warm air conditioner wasn't working properly also at checkout time i went to pay my card was declined later phoned the credit card company they said it was declined for a wrong pin number the person at the desk said that your credit card was not set up for that type of payment option it would be nice if it would be a option fortunately i had another credit card
Travelled from Ottawa to Calgary and back. This Best Western was home base for several nights, and we were extremely happy with all aspects of the hotel. Staff, cleanliness, location near U. Calgary which was necessary for our stay, buffet hot breakfast was excellent, pool and hot tub clean, restaurant was very good and not overpriced, plus several vegetarian meals. This particular Best Western deserves 5 stars.
Amazing hotel! Extremely clean and very accommodating! Pet friendly too! The staff are very quick to help and are always looking to make sure your stay is that much more enjoyable! The pool is a great temperature and is salt water so chemicals are not a worry for little ones!
Stayed for the weekend, room was very clean, service was great. Breakfast was very good, a few choices in buffet. Liked that there is underground parking with a fee unless you are a member and pets allowed (with a fee) as well. Would stay here again for sure.
The front staff are very helpful. The service staff do their job quietly and efficiently. The pool and hot tub are clean and , though I didn't use them this time around, they were being used by families each time I walked by. The lounge area was clean and well serviced, though the closing hours could be later.
This Best Western Plus far exceeds any hotel I have ever stayed at. From the check in, to the stay, to the check out - everything when so smoothly. Made for a very relaxing stay during my medical procedure.
9 rooms before we found one with clean bedding, covers and/or mattress. Ignored by management when we looked for restitution, very poor service and standards, just a horrible experience. The sad thing is we have stayed at this location before with little or no issues. Best Western has declined significantly over the past years.
Slow check in process but once checked in the stay was fabulous. Excellent food, quiet evenings and housekeeping staff was exceptional. Very good discount if you are in town for medical reasons. Would choose this hotel again in the future.
The hotel is centrally located which is nice. The pool is on the 2nd floor as was our room. Beautiful room with 2 beds, nice bathroom, clean, great view of Mcmahon Stadium. We ate pizza in the restaurant and a 12 inch was enough for all 3 of us. Tastes great too! Pool and hot tub were nice. Lots of parking although underground was not suitable for big pick-up truck like ours but we parked outside. Bed comfortable and great for my husband and daughter who are soft bed and pillow sleepers but I am hard bed and pillow sleeper so at least 2/3 got good sleep. Very quiet in room considering lots going on outside. They accomodate pets. Nice to see! Altogether great visit! Would highly recommend.
Hotel has a decent layout for being 40+ years old. Renovations over the years have clearly have been subpar on minimal budgets. Disappointing that with s full kitchen there was no flatwarevor utensils for use during our stay. Wasn't happy with the cleanliness of our room.
Tons of great gluten free breakfast options in the included breakfast, which if you need gluten free and had a hotel breakfast before you will understand why thia is my selling point. They layout of the hotel was super cool as well and the staff were helpful and accommodating to our needs loved it
Excellent service and reasonable service. The only problem is the access road to the hotel. Administration must push the City to complete the access road. Full breakfast service has resumed after the CODID. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Fridge and microwave are in the room.
Very easy to check in and the hotel layout is wonderful, breakfast was plentiful and delicious, overall was very satisfied with our 3 day stay for the Calgary Stampede… there was a little bit of a walk to the C-line train but very doable….
I was given a room with wet stains and red spots on the rug. I'm hoping it was remnants of red wine. The north side of the hotel outside had piles and scattered garbage everywhere. Even the garbage can in front of the hotel was overflowing with garbage. It looked terrible. This surprised me being a Best Western. The staff at the Front Desk were very friendly and polite.
Stayed here, based on reviews and the reasonable prices, and we were not disappointed. A little tricky to get to the hotel off 16th as they're doing some road construction, but all good once you figure it out. Hotel is somewhat dated with the interior courtyard style set up, but it works and it's nice. Lots of natural light and a cool design with the staircases. Indoor pool/hot tub too in open view for our use, but the kids seemed to have fun using it. Room was good - comfy beds, great outlets for electronics, good storage, and lots of bottled water. Bathroom was a little small, lighting is not the most flattering, the sink (though modern) sits above the counter which can make things a little messy, and you have to reach behind to get the shampoo etc. in the shower, which makes it a little challenging with older guests. The tub is a little slippery too, which my parents said made them feel a little unsafe even with the bar. The free secured parking underground was convenient and felt safe. The highlight of our stay really was the breakfast. An amazing complimentary breakfast buffet with hot and cold items that were plentiful and constantly replenished. The seating area was open and ample, they use real cutlery and plates, and the staff work really hard at keeping the items stocked and tables cleared. The list is long, but the breakfast items included real scrambled eggs, hashbrown potatoes, rotating protein like sausages, ham, and real bacon. They had lots of fixings for the eggs like onions, green peppers, shredded cheese and salsa. There were fluffy pancakes with whipped cream, hot oatmeal with lots of fixings, cereals, breads/pastries, yogurt, a variety of fruits, and your juices/milk (almond milk too) and coffees/teas. The breakfast stayed open until 10 so plenty of time to enjoy. My dad can't have dairy and he felt relieved when he learned the eggs and oatmeal didn't contain milk products. We very much enjoyed our stay and decided to book a couple more nights at the end of our trip. The front desk clerk was even able to provide us with a very reasonable rate as well. Would definitely recommend to others.
Great hotel. Stayed there while my husband was getting surgery at foothills hospital- is a bit of a round about to get to with construction between the two but staff was great. We were thankfully able to early check in and late check out as well which was incredibly helpful as my infant child wasn't allowed in the hospital. She was able to hang out with grandparents in the hotel rather than having to find somewhere to entertain her in the mean time. Lots of selection for breakfast - Hot and cold Clean room a decently quiet even with pool and restaurant in center of atrium outside of hotel room doors
Clean and comfortable stay! Room was immaculate. Beds comfortable . I like the mirror and shelf outside bathroom with plug. Free coffee and water bottles in room daily which was so appreciated. Pool was a bit on display for my liking so we didn't use it but looked clean. Everything is well taken care of. Breakfast had most variety I've ever seen. Well stocked and clean area. We would definitely stay here again !
The room was very clean with a fridge (with small freezer) and microwave. The beds were very comfortable and the water temperatures in the pool and hot tub were perfect. The food at the extensive breakfast buffet was good.
Clean with great restaurant & lounge. Safe secure underground parking and an awesome breakfast. Location was perfect for my trip. Staff was great and helpful. Would stay here again the next time I am in Calgary.
Since our last visit to this hotel the upgraded décor and large breakfast buffet have significantly improved the ambience and comfort of the services offered. Our (upgraded) top-floor Queen room was comfortable and well maintained with daily housekeeping and lots of bottled water, coffee pods, cream pods, and towels. The staff are welcoming and go out of their way to assist and respond to any requests. Convenient, secure underground parking, excellent location and comfortable rooms make this our recommended choice.
Convenience to area hospital great hotel amenities and attentive staff with secure parking option restaurant was offering daily special and an excellent buffet breakfast was included with the booking the fitness room was nice
The hotel layout is great with the walk around balcony makes it even better. The food at the restaurant was real good and good value. They have a great breakfast with lots of options. Close to a lot of shopping and restaurant.
My husband had to have an emergency surgery for an artery blockage. A family member recommended I stay here, as I was back and forth from the hospital. Excellent service and super comfy bed and clean rooms. Discount for hospital purpose also. They gave me a room off to the back so it was quieter area from the pool. Really impressed me ... I will be back with family for a weekend stay.
The rooms are spacious and clean. The reason I didn't give five stars is because the restaurant food is not that good and the bathrooms are super small. Otherwise the layout is nice with pool and restaurant and rooms overlooking everything.
It was clean but then nothing was done after we checked in. Made our own beds. Had to ask for clean towels and take the dirty wet ones out ourself. The breakfast was ok. Wasn't noisy. Some staff were not very friendly.
Our daughter was attending the 28th annual Calgary Open Ballroom dance comp. Best Western had a special rate for the competitors as it was a close hotel for the competition. We came in late on a Friday night, greeted by friendly staff and of course other excited dancers! The room was very spacious and clean. We were able to park underground very easy. The buffet breakfast is fantastic. Getting up very early and able to go down to get some food to bring up was very nice. We will definitely stay again for future dance things or when we do our annual Calgary Zoo trip!
Stayed in a King Atrium Plus Room. We stayed here for 1 night as a stopover before heading to Banff. The hotel itself isn't bad an the rooms are quite large but is quite basic. The design with the atrium in the middle is nice for providing light but does make it noisy as the swimming pool is located there. The location is fine for a stopover but if you're exploring Calgary then definitely stay closer. The one good thing was the breakfast which is free and had a good variety of hot and cold.
Great staff, clean rooms, neat atrium. The 4 of us enjoyed out stay. Access to the hotel was problematic due to the construction going on everywhere but once we got there everything went smoothly. No complaints on our stay
Overall a fantastic experience. The staff are very friendly knowledgable and willing to help. The pool area is great and I liked the modern courtyard feel of the overall set up. We enjoyed the lounge atmosphere as well as the hot breakfast buffet!
This BW had all that other BW's have. It has spacious atrium that has the restaurant/lounge beside the pool that closes at 10pm. The noise from the activity at the pool echos through the atrium but I didn't find it bothered me and once the pool is closed the area is quiet. The staff was prompt, friendly and helpful.
I stayed here as a friends family was staying here while she was in Hospital. I was checked in by Ronald who was super friendly and attentive. When he found out i was staying at thebhotel duebto my friend being in hospital he extended the compassionate discount to my booking which was going above and beyond in my books. The rooms were comfortable and easy distance away from the hospital which was convenient. Had a good stay apart from the circumstances that lead me there! Would highly reccommend.
I got a very good room for the Calgary Expo 2022. The room was very clean and LARGE. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I travel a lot for business this is more rare than one would think.
Everything was excellent from breakfast to other stay details. Bottles of water in the rooms, parking complimentary if you're a BW rewards member, and clean room with option of daily cleaning service. Breakfasts were outstanding, food variety, flexible times, and service. Excellent hotel with good prices.
Loved it here. Pet friendly and secure parking. The staff was very helpful and the rooms were quiet and clean. Pool is a good size but would have been nice for it to be open later in the evening. Breakfast was great and the staff kept the food replenished.
Stayed for one of my annual medical appointments at Foothills Medical Center, which can be stressful and unpredictable. Was nice to stay somewhere comfortable and reliable. Best breakfast in town, by far! Love the underground parking, and social/respectful atmosphere.
Close to many attractions, Very nice amenities Friendly staff Nice clean rooms Hot tub was nice to soak in Underground parking was nice to have Beds very comfortable Took my daughter to Calgary for her 25 birthday
This is the 3rd time I've stayed at this hotel and it is my go to when in the Northwest of Calgary. Convenient to getting in and out of the city, close to hospitals and leisure. Right from check in to check out you are made to feel as if your business matters to all employees.
We loved staying in the hotel , we loved the pool it was right opposite to our room no noise and disturbance. Staff was very friendly & helpful . It was a great stay . We would be back soon , Thumbs up
Construction has been going on for over a year it feels like. Don't rely on GPS, use Banff Trail and 23 Ave to go around to the hotel. Parking extremely limited if your vehicle is over 7' high. Check in takes a long time, even with preregistration. Rooms were good but cleaning is rushed. Friendly staff, great Internet.
This hotel was very clean and the staff were fantastic, check in was a breeze and when we needed more towels they brought them right away - Breakfast Buffet was wonderful - the Grandkids got to swim. Used express checkout so was easy
Excellent value for money! Overall completely satisfied with our hotel stay. Rooms were clean, comfortable and updated with all amenities we required. Staff were very helpful and polite. Love the access to the outside walkway from your room.
Very satisfied, clean and the location is central. Perfect! The hot breakfast was limited to scrambled eggs, sausages , potatoes and pancakes which was Okay. The pool and hot tub are nice and in the middle of the main floor.
My stay was due to my husband's sudden medical condition and his need to stay at the Calgary Foothills Medical Centre to recover. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I was especially thankful that there were laundry facilities for guests. Thank you.
It was the first time we travelled with our dog and it was a wonderful experience. There were three others we saw with a pet as well. The front desk staff were very friendly and offered our dog a biscuit.
My daughter and I spent the night and really enjoyed our stay. The service, staff and amenities were fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The pool was fun and a cool experience that we were very happy about. Our dinner was delicious and the food and service at the bar/restaurant and front desk was Fantastic. We will definitely be back.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Our room was clean and comfortable, though it was a little dark and we were not keen on the cool white light bulbs used in the light fixtures. Included breakfast had a nice variety of items and hot items were replenished frequently. Location worked for our needs but not very nice outside of the building.
Really nice hotel with buffet breakfast. Highly recommend it. Very nice hotel with great service. Great staff. Very clean rooms. Nice that you can park underground out of the cold. Thank you for the amazing stay
The hotel was very lovely, well kept and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the Continental Breakfast and Room Service Dinner. The pool and hot tub were really nice as well but could be a bit warmer. The hotel staff and other guests were very careful about Covid Protocols.
Friendly and efficient Reception, free covered parking, spacious bedroom but cozy bathroom, excellent furnishings, comfortable queen bed, and a very reasonable price. Now, if only the pool/hot tub & restaurant areas didn't have a roof it would be the perfect stay-cation resort location.
The overall feel of the facility is very homely and relaxing. Very easy to find although difficult to get into with the construction going on in front. Overall, I was able to relax and prepare sufficiently for the event I was attending the following afternoon.
My son's hockey team booked two nights at this hotel. Check in was not the greatest. I had prechecked in and was told that I didn't have a room. After several times, she found the room. The sofabed was made as requested but it's busted, and on a slant. Uncomfortable sleep. Do not order the pizza - we had the pizza buffet for the team and it was not good. No taste, soggy, and had to constantly wait for more pizza to come out. We weren't told about construction and parking was an issue, even trying to get into the hotel was bad as roads were closed.
Had to check in late. Told them we would be checking in late around 1AM, when we reserved room. We checked in went up to the room and found key card would not work. Few minutes a man opened the door said we had the wrong room. The hotel gave away room we reserved. 3rd floor 2 Am in the morning lugging all our stuff around was not happy they gave room away.
This Best Western in Calgary is always very clean and well maintained. It has a beautiful open atrium that the rooms all open up to. The staff is very kind and very friendly. They always treat us with the utmost respect and call us by our names even before we are checked in. Their restaurant has delicious food!
Great hotel to stay at for the Calgary Stampeders' game. Close location, and very clean hotel! The breakfast included with the hotel price had a good selection. The beds were very comfortable! Ready to book my next trip at this hotel!
We love this hotel, it is very clean, comfortable and very clean rooms,awesome food, pool, underground parking, a friendly staff great to deal with, it is right across the street from McMahon stadium.
Always good friendly service and very helpful accommodating staff. Check in was super easy especially when I didn't have a reservation, they booked me a room right away with no issues which did not take long.
in spite of the health care restrictions to ensure safety of all, this hotel and management did an excellent job of making the hotel experience positive and welcoming. The wrist band system allowed us open access to all amenities, including a GREAT hot breakfast! Kudos to this hotel!
Wonderful hotel. Great people and great rooms. Newly updated facilities. Great amenities. Everything you could want. I stayed here while my husband was in Foothills with a medical emergency and the staff was so kind, I can't thank them enough.
Nice place workers are very patient courteous , recommend to everyone to have a good stay I hope it will continue this kind of services everywhere continue to serve good with smile,, thanks to all of your hard working in this time pwde f COVID-19 bless you all
We have stayed at this hotel numerous times over the past four years. It is extremely clean, the air inside the building is fresh. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are quiet. Check in/out is efficient. The only problem lately - to no fault of the hotel - is the amount of road construction surrounding the site which can make it a little tricky getting in/out. I highly recommend this hotel. The C train has a stop nearby if you want to travel to downtown or elsewhere and do not wish to drive. The staff are pleasant and attentive.
When I first pulled up to this hotel, I thought I'd made a terrible mistake. There was construction going on in front and the hotel didn't look great from the outside and there were security cameras everywhere. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I went inside. It had a nice lobby with all the rooms surrounding an atrium. There's a pool, hot tub, and restaurant that serves a wonderful free breakfast with both hot and cold items. The rooms are nicely appointed, the beds comfortable, and the tv's have Chromecast so you can watch movies and shows from your own devices. All in all, this hotel is a great value, and I would definitely stay here again.
Yes it's the time of Covid-19 and daily housekeeping is not provided, but on the third day of my six day stay my room needed attention, I requested housekeeping, only to find on return no one had touched my room; I had to go to front desk, as my call was not answered, to request towels, coffee bar items and soap. Next day requested housekeeping had obviously been as my beds were made and fresh towels. However the accumulated dust and dirt at the baseboards off the laminate floor was still there and bed linens had not been changed, there were blood spots from a scratch. This poor attempt left me wondering about the level of cleanliness throughout the hotel and left me feeling unsafe. Each time I mentioned the lackluster housekeeping (3 times) the answer was “I'll let management know “. Didn't help me as a customer.
Restaurant lounge great food, losts of other choices in the area, staff very helpful. Great indoor outdoor parking, nice suites with indoor outdoor balcony's. Breakfast inculded is good.Walking in this area of Calgary is very nice beautiful parks
Front desk staff did not wear masks when serving customers (no plexiglass screen at our check-in station). Food service staff wore masks below noses. Guests are not required to wear masks when self-serving buffet breakfast and no "sneeze guards" to protect buffet food from contagion. Will not stay here ever again.
Underground parking and elevator to your floor was great. Room was clean with good internet. Small fridge which was not turned on. It worked fine after I turned it on. Very small bathroom for a King room and half the holes in the shower head were plugged. ALL the rooms in the hotel are subject to the noise from the pool. If you require peace and quite, choose another hotel. This hotel does not have a FULL service full menu restaurant. It is self serve breakfast ( I am a bit handycapped and NO staff offered to help me. Totally unacceptable.) Very short menu for lunch or dinner.
The hotel cleanliness was questionable. There are no showers or washrooms by the pool. I believe that if someone, like a child had to pee, they would not want to take the time to go all the way to their room.
Excellent location in Calgary with outstanding staff and amenities. Underground parking is a bonus especially in inclement weather. Handicap parking also available. Great breakfast included. Restaurant offers good selection at reasonable prices.
Cons: Hotel rooms are not ventilated well and smell bad and very tired. swimming pool and restaurant are in the centre of the building and wide open to each floor, it's very noisy when it's open with guests. parking spot underground is very narrow. Pros: Breakfast is very good, plenty of choices. staff were friendly.
For years now when I go to Calgary I choose to stay at this hotel as it is always kept very clean. The staff are very kind and helpful. I love the set up of the place with the pool and restaurant in the middle. The continental breakfast has always been better than any other hotel I've been at. Wonderful place to stay!!!
My son, grand-daughter and I stayed for 3 nights so we could visit family and participate in Heritage Park's Railway days. This is my hotel of choice when I go to Calgary - it is affordable, has free breakfast, is within walking distance to the Banff C-Train station and to multiple restaurants as well. We had a main floor room with an outside entrance. The room was very clean and spacious. The fridge and coffee maker worked very well. The table & chairs in the room was appreciated for in-room dining. The beds, pillows and linens were all so very comfortable. The air conditioning was awesome! The room was quiet when the door to the inside hallway was shut. The breakfast buffet was good (scrambled eggs with rotating protein every day - bacon, sausage, ham) - although I did miss the potatoes they normally have. the boiled eggs sitting in water in the tray where potatoes would normally be was just odd and the eggs outsides were a touch leathery. The waffle maker station was still closed due to covid which was disappointing - but we appreciated that the breakfast buffet was finally reopened and we did not have to have a bagged to go breakfast. Kudos to the breakfast room staff - it gets quite busy during peak times and they responded beautifully! Our cable would keep freezing on our TV and we could not get their offered Chrome-cast to work from our tablets (we asked for assistance but the lady at the front desk wasn't sure how to help), so we made do without the TV which was unfortunate because we wanted to have a movie night while there. My grand-daughter and son enjoyed the pool, although he did say it was a tad cold. My son thought the 'Pantry' was great - lots of snacks and pop for us were purchased. Our last night there we ate in the lounge. The steak was delicious and the service was fantastic! The previous night, we ordered room-service from them - the all meat pizza was really good and the delivery was prompt. Be forewarned, the designated smoking area is a dangerous place to stand with the cars getting confused by the construction or even from those driving out of the parking lot. We were almost hit a few times while standing there. The hotel should move this designated area to a less dangerous spot and make it more inviting with perhaps a bench? You are a 100% smoke-free hotel (which I love) but people who smoke or vape, pay for their hotel stay with the same money that non-smokers do and deserve the same amount of respect and consideration. Rather than making them stand by a light pole at a busy road entrance/exit with cars always coming and going - let these paying guests have a more safer space, and more inviting with somewhere to sit with their coffee rather than a dirty metal electrical box (that they probably shouldn't be sitting on anyway).
Great stay, super staff & pet friendly! We had a ground floor room with outside access. Ability to park outside the room as my spouse is recently disabled & our puppy needed to be able to go outside quick :) Breakfast was excellent! Thank you Ronald, Linda & the rest of the staff.
I stay at hotels regularly for leisure and business (pre covid) this was my first time back and I can honestly say it was horrible. If hotels cannot control children and their parents from from making noise all day and into the night and using all the towels so we hotel guest have none to shower with in the hotel we should be warned so we choose another hotel. We were not told that the room would not be cleaned or restocked or garbage emptied due to covid protocols. If you are going to have protocols tell those stay in the hotel so we can request simple things like garbage emptied. Parking was terrible as the parents of the hockey players positioned their large trailers not allowing adequate room for us to drive out truck through.
From the bad traffic out front to frazzled staff to tv/phone/internet that did not work, this is not the ideal choice to stay. Look elsewhere. Just too many little things were off here which made the overall expereicne bad. I would stay somewhere else next time just because I know there are better options out there.
The hotel is outstanding and located in a central area. Amenities were exceptional, pool, jacuzzi, gym, all kids friendly and staff are amazing. Will definitely recommend it to anyone. Entertainment was amazing too.
The rooms were great and the staff was awesome! Even during covid this hotel goes the extra mile to make sure that you have a pleasant stay. We used an accessable room on the main floor and it was perfectly suited to our needs. The staff were very courteous and always greeted us whenever we would come upon them. They were always cleaning everything, from them scrubbing the rooms to the folks at the front desk scrubbing that entire area. The pool had been allowed to open and many families with children were taking advantage of that to let kiddies use up a little of their energies.The bar was open, also takeout from the restaurant was available. We had a wonderful breakfast bag since the buffet was not allowed at that time, and found it to be full of fresh tasty food, that was more than adequate for our breakfast. They always offered us as many bagged breakfasts as we wanted so, I am guessing that if you were a larger eater you could have more than one bag.I am sure that with all the covid rules changing constantly it is very difficult for the hotel to manage, and they certainly are doing their utmost to provide as much as they are allowed, to ensure you have a memorable and safe stay. We certainly plan on staying in this friendly well appointed hotel again.
We booked the king suite which was awesome - and my daughter and family got the pet friendly room. The prices were very reasonable - excellent area to take your pet outside - continental breakfast was very good and very well organized considering it was covid. Front desk staff and breakfast staff were super friendly and helpful. Very comfortable stay and super close to airport - which is what we neededl Only thing that we missed was a pool and hottub. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay - clean and well organized and staff super helpful.
This hotel provides a "medical" rate -- for people ......e.g. Appointments at Gimbel Eye Clinic, Foothills hospital -- just mention it when you make your booking! Construction on Crowhild Trail make it a little tricky to access the hotel entrance. Hotel well worth it!!
Staff are the best, they provide customer service with a smile and always try to do the little extras to make you feel you're important to them and the hotel. My daughter throughly enjoyed being able to book the pool for an hour, it was a great option to allow this private use.
This is a great stop in Calgary for any medical trip. Close to the university and many medical facilities, including the Tom Baker centre. The medical rates are great, and service is excellent. It also have a variety of eating establishments within easy walking distance.
Very comfortable, clean and luxurious sleeping. Only complaint is due to Covid they have shortened the hours of the hot tub and pool and only one household at a time - hence, my tired from driving back didn't get a soak. The amazing beds and beautifully smelling shampoo make up for this.
Friend needed to stay in Calgary for surgery at the Foothills Hospital. This is closest BW Hotel. I have never stayed at it before. Very pleased with all aspects, room, price, food and the service. We will stay there more often when in Calgary.
My room was excellent, loved the soaker tub. The front desk was great both at check in and on check out (very accommodating as I required a late check out) . The hotel had good Covid19 protocols in place, and I felt very safe. They were quick to replenish my supplies for my room by leaving a bag on the door handle. I will definitely be back to this hotel.
Great hotel rate for medical appointments/procedures, 5 minutes from Foothills Hospital. NOTE: Underground parking does not suit large trucks/SUVs; outdoor perimeter parking available as well. Front desk is super helpful!
Ended up staying here during a scheduled laser eye surgery at Gimbel Eye Center, and though it looks like an older hotel from the outside, the interior is lovely and modern. It's an atrium style hotel, so everything opens up into a grand central area with restaurant and pool. Friendly staff, great food, fast Internet, and comfy beds make this a great please to stay, whether just for overnight, or for an extended visit.
Staff provided excellent friendly and quick service - compassionate and caring with our family member illness in ICU at nearby hospital. Very flexible on the uncertainty of length of our stay and ready to provide anything we may need in the way of additional supplies etc. as our stay went on. Room was well equipped and very clean. When we asked for more supplies due to the length of our stay, they were at our door within 5 min. Very happy - it made a stressful time so much less so...
The wife and I have no complaints on our stay. Close to SAIT. The service was great, unfortunately stayed during COVID so pool restaurant and lounge was closed. Clean and comfortable rooms. Next time in Calgary not shopping around going to stay here again.
Friendly staffs, very clean, free parking and breakfast and close to downtown. I'll go back again and will recommend to my family and friends. Cons- I hope to have more selection in regards to breakfast.
We stayed here for the wedding of my niece, the hotel has been upgraded since the last time we were here. The room was really comfortable and spacious. The amenities at this hotel are amazing. Too bad we were under COVID-19. The staff was great.
I can't give this a 5 rating because it was very noisy. The hotel staff did everything necessary to keep the noise down but I think the walls are just too thin. But its super clean and we were fully supplied with lovely amenities. The location is under construction but otherwise very nice.
Disappointed cleaning service, i found a hair on the bed and in the tub, a stain on the wall and the drawer next to me, i asked for a kettle and it came dirty. The room was nice and big, everyone at the reception was nice
I stayed here because it was close to the hospital where my daughter was staying and because it was a familiar brand name. Under normal circumstances I would have discussed my issues about the room with the hotel but my focus was on dealing with the crisis at hand - and I had been awake for 40+ hours at that point. My room was on the main floor and I was travelling alone. When I got into my room the first thing I did was check the windows and doors. As well as a door from the interior of the hotel, there was one leading to the outside parking lot area and when I checked, it was unlocked. I then checked the door that can be used for adjoining rooms and it was unlocked. This was a little unnerving for a woman travelling alone. I locked everything up and went in the bathroom to wash up and the first thing I see is public hairs on the floor along with regular strands of hair. I grabbed a nicely rolled up facecloth to wash my face and it looked like there was feces on it - this is when I took pictures. I got into bed and went to turn on the TV and the remote didn't work. Oh well... I did call and they told me to just use the number pad to change channels. When I woke up I didn't have a shower - which I was so looking forward to because I didn't trust what was on the towels. I went to the front desk to get one of the grab and go breakfast (the buffet is closed due to COVID) and their breakfast consisted of a warm child's juice box, a warm yogourt and timbit sized muffin. I'm not what I consider a complainer and I can let a lot of things slide but I do stay at a lot of hotels and I do expect what I pay for - and this does not cut it. I'm sorry Best Western - I won't be back.
Slightly to access due to construction. Expect that will be remedied in near future. Good attempts to provide breakfast as buffet not allowed due to covid. Handy to Foothills Hospital for appointment.
The kindliness and support we receive from all the staff at the hotel while my husband was in the hospital, was amazing. The service was always prompt - the staff always pleasant and courteous. I can absolutely recommend the Inn as a great place to stay.
I had to be near the Foothills Hospital during the quarantine. I loved the proximity - one traffic light and you are at the hospital!! We don't live in Calgary and my husband was dealing with aggressive bone cancer and his diagnostics / care plan / treatments left me needing lodging for almost a month. The staff at the hotel treated me with respect, kindness, and compassion the entire stay. Housekeeping went above and beyond with cleaning and sanitizing. Sack breakfasts replaced the buffet for health reasons. I pretty much lived on them. There was always someone to answer questions. My room was cleaned on request any time I needed it. After a grueling day of tests, doctors, nurses, and watching my husband suffer; this hotel was my oasis in the desert. I was offered books to read, a shoulder to cry on, a cheery welcome, and a safe refuge. I hope to return when the amenities are open to the guests again and the occasion is happier. It is a beautiful facility and great staff made a challenging time much more bearable.
As a caregiver to a cancer patient, I want to say how wonderful and how cautious and caring the staff at the Best Western has been. They closed down the breakfast buffet, bag "lunches" only, closed the restaurant and lounge, the pool and exercise room. It is good to see them going out of their way to keep the building shut down keeping their vulnerable gusts as safe as possible. We were called each evening to see what we needed for our room, their way of keeping us isolated, great to see as most of us who were staying there were only there because of the proximity to the hospital. If you need a great place to stay during these very uncertain times this is the place to stay. so pleased with their staff and how well they treated us.
I enjoyed our stay even though things changed due to the Covid 19 crisis. The hotel had to close pool and the restaurant however I was able to have a meal the first night at the lounge and this was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel to Foothills Medical Centre was so convenient and easy commute. 5 minutes! Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. To note the hotel is just across the steet from McMahon Stadium. I will be returning!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Free underground parking for Best Western Rewards members. Very good complementary full breakfast buffet. Overall, highly recommended, especially if visiting the north side of Calgary.
Good stop in Calgary for the Family! The hotel staff was friendly and the hotel was very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The pool and hot tub are in the centre atrium style. The restaurant service was very slow but breakfas buffer the next morning was great!
We recently stayed at the hotel overnight on a weekday and were quite pleased. Nicely located near the University of Calgary and Foothills Hospital, it is also a convenient stop for those traveling through to Banff or BC. Room was a good size, clean, and beds were very comfortable. Underground parking was included. Breakfast was also included which was much better than other complimentary hotel breakfasts. For starters it was actually in the restaurant and not in a small room where you are dodging other patrons. Good selection of items and staff always circulating to replenish the buffet and ensure tables are immediately cleaned. Check in was quick and easy. A definate consideration for anyone traveling to this area.
I stayed here 3 nights while my husband had surgery at Foothills Hospital. The whole experience here was very good. I was able to book a medical rate, and even though I was coming during a busy time (reading week), I was able to reschedule my days when the surgery was delayed. I also booked extra days, not knowing when my husband was going to be released, which was no problem. Fast, efficient check in and out, the hotel felt safe and the underground parking was a nice touch. No complaints about the rooms - they were spacious, comfortable beds and pillows, updated bathrooms and a coffee maker with bottled water. The hotel has an open concept, which is really nice, and despite being at capacity, wasn't overly noisy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again, or recommend, especially to anyone that needs to be close to the hospital.
I have stayed at this great facility many, many times over the years; always clean; always well maintained; Staff are always great; Front Desk folks are excellent. Well recommended. The facility has great Underground Parking and is accessible to many places in Calgary.
From the outside it looks older so I wasn't sure if it would be a nice place to stay but I was pleasantly surprised. My room was clean and felt updated. Bed was comfy and everything worked well. The openness of the area over the pool/restaurant made it feel grand and not cramped with dark hallways. Staff was helpful and friendly. I would book here again.
We usually stay at this hotel when in Calgary-3-4 times a year. On my last visit, in early Feb a collegue left her hat in her room. When she called back later that day the staff were not very helpful. She persisted and finally, the next day a staff member told her they typically keep electronics (obviously for the lost and found) but toss out other items. This is really unsatisfactory.
Awesome hotel in a central location. Updated perfectly, super clean, and the best breakfast! Staff is always very friendly. The on site restaurant is also a huge plus. Great food a few steps away from your room!
I really appreciated how clean the hotel was. The breakfast room had plenty of seating and the options were really great. The hotel staff was very accommodating for my requested late check out. The bed was very comfortable!
It was a very good overnight stay with my 2 kids (4 and 2). They enjoyed the pool. The rooms are clean, neat and you cannot hear anything from the outside while sleeping. Food was good as well except for the hard bacon. But overall it was perfect for the price. Would definitely go back.
A great place to stay while in Calgary . The staff are very accommodating and personable. I enjoy the free breakfast and the coffee is very good. They have a clean inviting hottub which holds 6 or so people and quite relaxing after a day at meetings or events. The lounge is clean and cozy and has never been crowded during my various stays.
Room seemed satisfactory until bed time! Soiled sheets, expected me to change! I refused, requested new room. Breakfast was a 3 out of 10. Scrambled eggs runny, hashbrowns dry, ham dry. Only good things about breakfast was the fruit.
Great hotel and great location. Breakfast is a buffet full hot breakfast. Close to major roads, but still quiet. Plenty of restaurants in a short walk if you did not feel like eating at the hotel restaurant.
We stayed in the Best Western Village Park the last weekend of Dec 2019. We had booked a jacuzzi suite for two nights. The price was good for the size, decor and amenities. I believe the rooms had been renovated in the last year of so and it was very tastefully decorated and offered a kitchen and living area with a separate king room and ensuite. It was very nice and the service was great. Easy check in and out. I would recommend this hotel for a few reasons-- price, amenities and proximity to Crowchild and McMahon Stadium. Well worth it.
From start to finish all staff made us feel like they were there just for us.We felt like we were getting the royal treatment. Our stay was great and we will go there again .We had underground parking . That was lovely with all the snow.
Helpful staff and an above average hotel breakfast. Convenient location to medical and sports facilities. I found the underground parking convenient and safe especially in winter and will continue to use this hotel in the future
Our stay was great. The room was super quiet. Best service. Friendly staff. Amazing breakfast. Nice pool. The location of this hotel was great for trips to the Foothills hospital. It is also close to The football stadium for the stampeeders stadium and to anything west of the city.
Very good service and accommodation, dining room needs work. All staff are great but the prices are a little high for dinner, lunch not so bad. Location is awesome for me, breakfast is legendary (fresh home made waffles). Hot tub is great after dark, but should be open later for adults only swim.
This is our favourite hotel when visiting Calgary. With an easy access location for our need,s as well as all areas of the city, and close to LRT. Quiet rooms, great breakfast, excellent helpful staff!!!
Excellent and friendly check in with thoughtful help about parking and room choice. Room clean with crisp white bedding. Room renovated. Lighting in bathroom v good. Bottled water available for free in the room as well as coffee. Bed comfortable.
Patrick checked us in and was top notch. Room is clean and up to date. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Pool area was busy and hot tub needs to be hotter with more pressure. Lounge area was hosted by a very nice and accommodating lady. You can take your drinks up to your room if you want. Hotel breakfast comes with the room is the best in the land.
I would recommend Best Western over any other hotel and highly recommend Best Western Plus for family stays. Great experience for my family. The front desk staff were attentive and caring about our needs and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool for hours. I loved the underground parking for safety and easy access. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and this hotel surpasses expectations. Very pleased with our booking here.
Rooms were nice and clean, selected by my company. Room comes with robe. Singular. Front service staff was rude. Gave a wake up call that was not requested at 7:30am. After paying for our second night, they called and said we hadn't paid, even though we had the validated parking for the second night. When I said we weren't paying the late check out from the night before (which he said was going to be charged even though we were pre booked for 2 nights) he refused to acknowledge that even though my husband went down initially before 11am, plus they scanned our card the previous night when we checked in. Was sorted out but he would not speak with the person who talked with my husband the first time, so clearly did not believe us. We asked for a couple of wine glasses and a bottle opener in the evening and had to go get them ourselves, and they were dirty. But, you know, the room was clean. *Shrug* Apparently that's all $165 gets you here because you aren't getting anything else.
The front desk staff was amazing and so helpful they worked with my wife on the room rates and length of stay due to not always knowing if the room would be needed for another night. The beds were so comfortable and it was nice and quiet.
Breakfast (included) and dinner options great with choices and well prepared food. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Good sized room with refrigerator, coffee maker, iron. Washer dryer available to guests. Snacks available for purchase. Close to university, Foothills hospital and McMahon stadium
Good Value Hotel - rooms were clean - no bugs - dining was great - complimentary breakfast was great - secure parking - location across from McMahn Stadium - TV was great - staff were friendly and thoughtful - stayed one night and we had no regret - will stay again next time in the city
Fantastic location. I absolutely love my room! It was super spacious and cozy. I cannot get over how comfy the jacuzzi bath tub was. Breakfast was also very enjoyable - I get to make my own waffle ;) Overall I love the hotel and would definitely pick this again without hesitation the next time I visit Calgary.
First was checked into a room that the toilet didn't flush, called front desk several times and got no answer. Finally had to go back down to the front desk and wait again to be moved to a room with a working toilet. Went to the breakfast the following morning and opened the drawer in the breakfast buffet for the bread. A cockroach climbed out. *barf* Pointed it out to attendant and she grabbed it in her hand and mumbled something about the place needing to be fumigated. I left and went next door to Denny's for a roach free breakfast. When I brought the roach breakfast issue to the front desk, the front desk manager just kind of looked at me and said oh, did they tell the chef? I again complained when I checked out and no compensation was provided, I still had to pay full price for my stay.
We often come into town for dr. appt. and this was recommended to us by friends who liked it. We loved it. Very clean nice restaurant good staff, in both bar and restaurant lovely lovely breakfast. We were greeted at the front desk with courtesy and friendliness. We we able to take advantage of the medical rate and with the breakfast included came to a very very good rate. The best i have ever had in calgary. Will not stay anywhere else now. Also underground parking very nice.
Excellent Staff, Super clean, quiet Open concept atrium gives it a much more relaxing atmosphere. Food service selection and quality exceeded expectations. Nicely done! I would recommend this property without hesitation.
We have stayed here a number of times during hospital and appointment visits and have found all staff to be pleasant and friendly. Rooms are clean, breakfasts are excellent and underground parking is nice to have in winter months. Have a discount for hospital visits which helps as well.
From the front desk to the restaurant/lounge and the room cleaning staff we have an excellent stay every time. Everyone is helpful, friendly and cares. The breakfast is amazing as well as the other meals. We tried other hotels in the area of the Tom Baker Cancer centre and this is the Best and consider it our home away from home!! We always book ahead and look forward to our stay.
IT is always a pleasure to stay at this facility when we have to go to the Foothills Medical center due to its close proximity. The staff have always been performing better than expected, and having a lounge and restaurant is extremely convenient for those of us want to have an alcoholic beverage without driving from the hotel.
Stayed at this hotel for volleyball tournaments back in the day, and now for hosiptal appointments/visits and it's a home away from home - with all the amenities. If you're staying more than a day and want to get out, be sure to check out Juree's (Thai Restauarant) on 16th, and Crave Cupcakes off Nose Hill Dr. Hotel Restaurant was fabulous, especially the complimentary breakfast - worth getting up for :)
This hotel was easy to find and check-in was quick. The room smelled pleasant and was very clean. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The room was extremely quiet and the bed was very comfortable.
Hotel was awesome location and was great people in every service there. kids loved it pool was great as well parking was excellent food was ok I guess rooms were nice and big and clean bar was awesome too
Stayed 1 night after landing in Calgary from Uk. Good location as it is on the far side of the city to the airport and "on the way" towards the national parks. Clean and tidy, by a main road but really couldnt hear anything in the room. Our breakfast was included in the price and was a decent selection of hot food and continental style. Not much immediately round it but we were basically arriving, sleeping and leaving.
Terrible set up for a restaurant! Should have been called a cafeteria! Tables and chrome chairs like you'd expect to see in an institution, certainly not a dining room! The alternative is their lounge which is more like a sports bar. Food was average at best, it wasn't busy (no surprise there!) The service was good. Front desk staff are friendly, only came to the hotel to eat and We won't be back!
Jacuzzi was too small. Only fits one person and we book these rooms for two people. Service was quick and efficient. The food at breakfast was quite extensive and flavourful. Don't order the rib eye steak
Stayed here for 4 nights, Friday to Monday. Friday and Saturday were at a higher rate than the Sunday and Monday night. Free parking and breakfast is included. Breakfast is cereal, waffles, fruits, toast, boiled eggs, home potato fries, scrambled eggs, with either ham, bacon or hot beef sausages (different meat for each morning). The downside is that many of the rooms are taken up by foreign athletes training at Calgary U. They have a hot tub, but no change room so you have to wear you bathroom as a cover. The exercise room only has two mats. The rooms were nice, as it had a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. The underground parking is nice but they have a ton of extended limousines that take up a lot of the parking spots and they block the exit. Elevators are extremely SLOW. The heater/air condition was very noisy.
We have been at this hotel before and because of past experience we booked a stay there again. It is very clean and comfortable. The breakfast included with the price is a great deal. Beds are super comfortable. I especially like the underground secure parking. The restaurant has excellent meals.
Great place to stay. This hotel is across from the McMahon Stadium, home of the Calgary Stampeders and the U of C Dinos. The university and hospital are close by, if that is the purpose of your stay. The pool and hot tub were always clean and ready to use. our room was perfect and quiet, the beds were comfortable, fridge and stove were useful. Underground parking was amazing, we never had to go out into the weather! There was a large variety of food for breakfast.The menu had many options too! The staff were friendly and outgoing. Front desk was always willing to assist us. We would not change anything about this hotel.
Good value for a good ambience and amenities. Rooms were clean and spacious, staff were cordial and responsive. Underground parking certainly a plus point. Definitely would stay on my next trip and recommend to friends and family.
Stayed in hotel due to proximity to hospital. Was given a compassionate rate. Hotel was quiet and well appointed. Unique interior setting with central courtyard. Open pool area sort of gave room a chlorine smell.
Staying to take daughter to her first year of University. Convenient location and clean environment and friendly staff. Breakfast was really well done. Four teams were staying there and we didn't even notice that there were so many people there. Well organized.
No line up at the front desk. Quite place. Good breakfast. However, the location is difficult to locate. When coming from Highway 16, it is difficult to locate the Hotel. Perhaps a sign on Highway sixteen would help.
Clean and perfect room for my family!! It was hot crispy and yummy breakfast. The pool and hot tub were Good for my daughter. The staff, Ronald who helped me to check in was awesome nice. Thanks Ronald!!!
Great location, close to transit. Worth the money spent during my stay. Outstanding service with a healthy and complete complementary breakfast. Great staff in front of the house. Full of amenities which make stay completely satisfied
Nice and clean and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. Its been newly renovated and I love that the bed linens and comforter are snow white -- makes a clean freak like myself feel good about the level of cleanliness. Excellent value for money too.
The inside of this hotel looks great. The rooms are nicely furnished with a modern look. The hotel offers a free breakfast which was great. There was plenty of staff working including the manager to keep it stocked and clean. One large issue we had though is the location of the pool. It's wide open with no walls to keep the sound in. If kids are playing in the pool you can hear it throughout the hotel. Don't get me wrong it's a great pool however with a 10 pm closing time it makes it hard to get young kids to sleep. Both nights we had to ask the front desk to close the pools as the noise continued after 10 and we couldn't get to sleep after days of sightseeing. It would make sense to close the pool earlier and/or have some glass/plastic roof/sides to lower to the noise. Once we could get to sleep the beds and room was comfortable.
we stayed for a soccer tournament and was happy with the hotel. check in took a bit longer than expected but was very busy. enjoyed the underground parking, breakfast was great, beds/pillows were good. clean and taken care of. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub.
My wife and I had to stay overnight in Calgary to be able to get her to an early-morning medical appointment at Foothills Hospital. Not only did this hotel provide a medical rate that fit our circumstances precisely, the hotel itself was extremely convenient for us i.e. located in a motel Village with a stoplight access onto 16th Ave. which allowed us to enter 16th Ave. during morning rush hour without difficulty. The hospital is about six minutes away once we were actually on 16th Ave. We asked for a room on the ground floor which turned out to be directly across from the breakfast area. Again, extremely convenient. The provided breakfast was extensive. Included just about everything you could think of in terms of breakfast food. Staff are extremely accommodating when we needed to book an extended stay past the regulars checkout time. When it came time to load the car, we had surface parking available and a "backdoor" out of the hotel that allowed me to load the vehicle without having to go around the hallways through the front lobby. Again extremely convenient. The hotel is finished with "hard" surfaces, so is probably not the most luxurious hotel you could stay in but the staff were friendly, extremely accommodating and the hotel itself provided ideal convenience for us. We will definitely stay there again under similar circumstances!
It is good place to stay except this hotel charge for coffee. Most of times there is no coffee at front desk and when front desk directed me to onsite Restaurant. This onsite restaurant charge for coffee. Most of hotels have free coffee
Great hotel , have been coming to this hotel for the past ten years and have never been disappointed Front staff very helpful and knowlegeable especially Linda Cleaning staff does a great job never have to worry about the room not being cleaned properly Overall great hotel highly recommended
The entire staff was extremely helpful and professional throughout our stay. When my husband was discharged from the nearby hospital, the front desk offered us a hospital discount without our asking. They went out of their way to find us a suitable room, cheerfully assisted us with our fax and copying needs and even jump started our truck when it wouldn't start. I cannot say enough about the dedicated staff at this property, from housekeeping, food service, maintenance, to front desk. There is a level of pride in this modestly elegant property that is rarely encountered in our travels. It was a delight to stay here and I would recommend it to anyone.
The place is done up nice. The fitness room is hidden in the back, while the pool and restaurant and are an open air space. Anyone from the rooms can watch you. Also the noise carries to the rooms. Bathrooms are too small, especially for a family of 4. They are suitable for 1 person at a time. Staff are awesome though. I wouldn't stay again because of the pool/restaurant location and the small bathrooms.
Price was awesome, hospitality was terrific, staff very friendly always willing to help. Breakfast was great, was a buffet breakfast, food was great. We asked for a late check out it was no problem. Highly recommend
We are a rewards member and fortunately we were offered a conference rate during the conference but paid high rate when we came early to attend the Stampede in Calgary. Wish the conference host had been able to get a lower rate during that time but understand the Stampede is a big deal. Appreciated the bonus points offered to help our build up of points. Everything from check in to departure was great. Staff, amenities, room, close proximity to train station to get to the conference and Stampede, restaurant, lounge, internet all met our expectations and beyond. Underground parking was another plus. Anyone staying here will have a great experience.
wonderful hotel, decent price. Our only complaint would be that the walls are thin, we could hear people in other rooms regularly. Would recommend light sleepers avoid or bring ear plugs. Staff were accommodating and attentive.
Traveling to Calgary Canada, for the Stampede we booked this hotel and were satisfied in every dimension. The rooms are beautifully equipped, including extra bottled water for the dry air at the Stampede. Plus, a large screen TV, wifi, nice pool and hot tub. And, it has to be one of the best complementary breakfasts ever at a hotel. Everything hot and yummy. And, the Courtyard's staff were the best. Anything you needed they would do their best to accommodate, and with a smile.
My husband and I stayed at the BW Village Park Inn for 12 nights for medical reasons. We have also stayed our fair share at this hotel in the past - it is our go to place when we have to come to Calgary. If you're a BW rewards member you get a free continental hot breakfast (which has a huge selection, and very tasty). You also get to park underground for free. They also offer a medical rate if you are staying here for medical reasons. All of the staff is exceptional, our rooms have always been very clean and the restaurant/lounge has very good food. Nothing bad to say about this place! PS - we were here during stampede and they could have increased the room rate, but since we were here for medical reasons they didn't..... I think that shows true integrity in a business.
The outside doesn't look like it would be as good as it is, but don't judge a book by its cover. Wonderful customer service, super fresh breakfast buffet, lovely updated clean rooms and a comfortable restaurant and bar made our stay delightful. Everyone was helpful and accommodating. Easy access to the light rail and just a few stops to Stephen Street and the Glenbow Art Museum. The underground free parking with elevator access made getting our things in and back out very easy. We were tired after a long journey from Seattle sightseeing and we appreciated their kindnesses at our final stop.
The interior of this Inn is absolutely beautiful. The staff are VERY Friendly and very helpful. First time ever staying in Calgary. I would definitely recommend the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn to everyone .... especially if you have to go to the Foothills Hospital. It is only a 5 minute drive (we took a cab - cheaper than paying for parking at the Hospital AND much easier - we didn't get lost!!)
Great place to stay. Clean, nice uoto dare hotel with friendly staff. Pool was clean and relatively warm, however, hot tub was empty and needing repairs so we never got to enjoy that. Free breakfast was perfect.
We stay at this BW at least twice a year and our experience is always the same. The staff are friendly, the experience is great and the location makes it easy to find. If you're here for a CFL game, McMahon Stadium is right across the street.
Check-in was easy. Rooms very clean. Staff throughout were exceptionally pleasant. Continental breakfast had a large variety of food to choose from. Restaurant meals were reasonably priced and service was excellent.
If staying for a medical appointment, this is the place to be! Underground parking, amazing breakfast, pool/hot tub, wif-fi that works, comfortable beds, and clean rooms, a convenience pantry/store, and many amazing local restaurants close by. Best part, is that it's close to the FH hospital for appointments.
This hotel is in a good central location. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Lovely full breakfast. Nice swimming pool and hot tub. Comfortable essence overall throughout the hotel. Clean and attractive rooms.
Coming into town for business every month and staying here makes my stay effortless. The front desk and lounge staff are very welcoming and the rooms are spotless. The location, underground parking, complimentary breakfast and wifi make this
The hotel and room was very clean and the location was perfect. Food was excellent and the service was very accommodating. I just wish they had a hand held shower head. Other than that everything was excellent. I would highly recommend this Best Western hotel.
I was somewhat hesitant to book here as this location was known to be located in a high crime area...but we had nothing to,worry about. They had lots of parking at the front door so no worries about entering the building any night. They had free underground secure parking with cameras everywhere. The rooms face onto the courtyard which was noisy due to the restaurant and bar. I was concerned our room would be noisy, but as soon as the room door closed...it was quiet. The heating...or lack thereof was a problem. Despite upping the heat on the wall unit...the room never warmed up overnight and the fan, despite being on low...was loud. The only way to turn off the fan was to shut everything off..including heat! Upon arrival our Platinum status was not acknowledged however at checkout, this was fixed. The breakfast was fine but hot oatmeal would have been a nice addition. The coffee was some of the best I have had in a long time and nice that instead of tiny annoying creamers, they had cream in a jug with the coffee bar. I would stay here again.
Nice location for our needs. Breakfast for 7 mornings was always good and well staffed. The entire staff were very professional and pleasant. Very impressed by this Best Western Plus. Would stay here again.
The rooms are clean. The restaurant food is great and they have a very nice indoor pool. Their fitness room is a little bigger than the other hotels I've been to. I would definitely stay at this hotel again when I am in Calgary.
I recently stayed at the Best Western Village Park Inn. It is a nice hotel. The room was clean and had a fridge & microwave. The pool was a nice size and good to swim in. The free breakfast was very good. I enjoyed my stay.
Excellent experience. Hotel was very nice inside and so was the room. The facilities and parking were good. Food in the dining are great! staff friendly and helpful. No complaints or concerns. We decided to return to Calgary 1 day early before we flew out and we stayed at this hotel again.
This Best Western hotel in Calgary is great value for the money. The layout is fine, the hot pool was hot, the internet worked well, and the breakfast was a cut above most hotel breakfasts. The location is easy to get to approaching Calgary from the West, and it is close to lots of things, including health facilities. We will stay here again.
Pretty clean and comfortable hotel. The indoor pool is heated which is a plus for travellers with kids. This particular hotel is very good value for the price since it provides pool, breakfast, underground parking, and modern look.
We stayed 3 nights and were impressed by the standard of accommodation and service. A very interesting hotel build around a central courtyard, unusual for us but the concept certainly worked well for us. There was a pool within the central area on the second floor which looked quite inviting. Breakfast is quite generous and seating in the restaurant and the bar is very comfortable and not crowded. Meal and drinks prices were actually very reasonable.
I recently stayed three nights at this hotel. The stay was fabulous. The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. Food was greta. The highlight of the stay was the courteous, hospitable, friendly and helpful staff encountered in a variety of areas during the stay.
Exceptional cleanliness, service, comfy beds, pillows, and food!!! All the staff are aiming to please and so friendly.I love the energy in this hotel. Village Park Inn exceeds BW standards for excellence!
Front lady, new trainee helped me out to find a phone number for the Calgary airport as I had left an item there. She then called my room as she had found a better number which helped me immensely. Morning checkout was super efficient. They called me a great cab and I was able in 5 minutes have an amazing breakfast that was hot and delicious! scrambled eggs with the best breakfast sausage. You could have a variety. I also had cut up fresh fruit and yougurt : )
Was a very nice hotel, everything was clean and modern. The room was nice, lots of plug-ins. The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect to get to the Children's Hospital Would stay there again.
Booked online for a great value. Beautiful atmosphere with the center court open and you can look down on the dining, lounge pool and hot tub Easy for parents to check on kinds in pool from the door of your room Great breakfast, friendly staff. Parking with a truck isn't great can only park at back of hotel.
Came for a church conference with my family and felt like we were at a resort with the great breakfast, beautiful pool and balconies. Lovely hotel design and friendly staff. Comfy beds, quick room service, reasonable price.
Awesome experience! Friendly staff and great food! Easy parking and everything was just simple and convenient! Very clean and comfortable! It was definitely the best hotel experience we have had in Calgary!
Had booked a room for my wife because I was getting a medical procedure. My procedure time changed and it would make my cancel option void as it was less than 24hrs. The hotel and staff were super understanding and did not charge me the cancellation fee, plus I booked again for 2 days, but was released a day early and only informed them of the change around 3pm.... they only charged me 1/2 price for which was super fair. And oh ya the staff were awesome and the hotel super nice......recommend this place hands down, super impressed.
We stayed here for two nights while we were in Calgary for a hockey tournament. The beds were SO COMFY. I slept like a rock. The pillows were the perfect fluffiness and the beds were clean and cozy. The continental breakfast was an awesome bonus. They had a great selection including eggs, bread, a variety of pastries, fruit, yogurt, sausage, and potatoes. I really enjoyed my stay.
Hotel usually good but this time not so much. Check in person - ignored me at first - waited 5 minutes without even looking at me while they went back and forth from the front desk to the back. Also then asked for my email to receipt but then didn't tell me they were signing me up for the hotel newsletter and points card.....that's why I don't give my email out!! Also fridge was turned off. I didn't notice it initially when I put my milk in when I checked in. The next morning I go to have a drink and it's warm....bah.....
The room and bathrooms are extremely small. The balcony is embarrassing. The lounge And food were alright, but there is a dead silence with no music throughout the hotel. There were families using the facilities like pool and hot tub. It is relatively close to the downtown, but there is nothing decent within walking distance. This hotel should be under $90/night for what it is offering.
All family stayed. We met each morning for breakfast and closed each night in the lounge. It is a casual environment which we like. Staff very friendly. Could go down to breakfast in your pj's. Great underground parking. Restaurants within walking distance. Great hub for a large group.
This Hotel is very close to the Foothills Hospital. The full breakfast was varied, fresh and there was plenty of tables and booths for people. Rooms are clean with comfortable beds and amenities. The staff is helpful and friendly and the pool facilities are very nice after a long drive.
We stayed here 30+ years ago so the refurbishment is a success. You forget that with a courtyard hotel on a weekend, the noise level from playing children will be high and it was. The breakfast was meh. Hotel reception staff was shy and spoke very,very low, She should be given another place to be successful. The hotel was clean, the bed very comfortable
Pros. Hotel is decently located close to the university, and is renovated. Rooms are modern, fairly well equipped, and cleanish. Hotel offers a decent selection of amenities. Cons. This hotel is built around an inner atrium with the pool and restaurant facilities on the bottom. The guest rooms are built around the outer walls, and up five (?) floors. At first glance, it's quite attractive. It is also shockingly loud! It is possible to hear an entire conversation being had by the pool, while in your third floor room with the air conditioning running! Add a few teenagers running around, and forget about sleeping. The restaurant/room service is an attempt at an upscale menu, an attempt that missed. The food is a 2/5 at best, and the menu choice is questionable. It is also very expensive for the quality. A few minor things, the website mentions Keurig coffee makers in room, as well as bathrobes supplied. This is incorrect, my room had neither. It was supplied with a coffee maker- a very small, and cheap machine. Overall, if you're headed here to have a good time, this is probably an OK place, but forget about it if you're there for business, and need to focus.
Makes you want to stay in the hotel. Food was really good. Atmosphere was great and welcoming. Rooms were clean. Pool had comfortable seats for parents watching their kids. Secure underground parking. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to help.
Really nice hotel, older design but updated nicely. The underground parking was spot on and the front desk staff was exceptionally friendly. Location is close to football and the breakfast was fast and tasty.
Stayed when having to visit the Foothills Hospital. Found out after booking through a popular website that they have a special rate for hospital visitors. Would have saved us about thirty dollars a night.
Awesome manager and staff assisted us with an emergency medical stay in Calgary. The hotel location was very good to access services we needed during our stay. We can't thank them enough for the care and kindness they offered us.
Stayed at the best Western family day weekend. This is my second stay at this location. Great hotel, rooms are up to date and very clean. Underground parking is available and the complementary breakfast is excellent. Staff are friendly and professional. Only thing I would recommend is to increase the temperature of the hot tub and have towels on hand for guests.
Excellent service at the front desk and restaurant. Underground parking very nice in such cold weather Staff arranged transport to the hospital for me Cleaning staff responsive to requests for amenities.
This hotel was a surprising find for me travelling for business. Great location with easy access to transit for downtown meetings and lots of restaurants around. I was very happy with the room renovations and the room service was great as well.
I've been on a roll lately with some great service experiences that just deserve a mention. First of all though, very nice property, more than I expected. And the underground parking in -30 couldn't have been more welcome! Ronald assisted me with my check in, it was an unexpected last minute stay so I was a little frazzled. He was very nice and helpful to deal with and definitely went over and above for me. I would highly recommend the BW Plus Village Park Inn.
I was supposed to stay for two nights and had to leave during the middle of the night during second night stay. Staff didn't care about the noise complaints towards a loud, unruly and violent guest. The guest staying next to me was violently arguing with his girlfriend the first night and after several complaints, they finally sent someone up to say something. No sleep that first night. During the second night he woke me up by beating on the walls and throwing furniture around. The staff again reluctantly did anything about it. They eventually had to call the police. I asked to be moved into a different room or a refund and they provided me with neither, so I just packed up and went somewhere else down the street.
Everything was great and the staff are amazing. Fast check in and out. Great breakfast that was fresh and had a fantastic variety. Rooms were clean, and tidy. This is the only place I will stay when in Calgary. They treat you like family. I love coming here.
Excellent value, location close to C-train, McMahon Stadium, the University of Calgary, shopping malls accessible by train service, underground parking is available, location on a major road so is easy to access.
This hotel is great. The staff are amazing and we loved the hottub/pool area. One of the BEST breakfast for any hotel we have stayed at. Being close to McMahan Stadium and the C-Train is a bonus. We stay here whenever we come to Calgary.
We stayed here a night for a medical appointment the next day .Its 4 min away from the foot hills hospital .Its clean ,modern,friendly staff ,and great breakfast buffet,which is included.The staff was accommodating and allowed us to leave our truck in the underground parking,while we took a taxi to the hospital,highly recommend.
I stay at BWs all over Canada and this one is very good. has all the amenities, Restaurants, pool, spa, room service, parking (even under ground), free breakfast (which is very well done). the rooms are very clean and updated. this location is very central in Calgary. Added bonus is that it is less then 400 meters away from Nick's Steak and pizza house which is a Calgary Classic!
Rooms were clean, breakfast buffet is very nice and pool is nice. Decent layout to the hotel. Close to the C-Train. Parking was interesting told we could park outside, but if you are a member you can park underground for free.
There is only one flaw in this hotel and it is only in the information on how to locate it the first time without a GPS! Otherwise it's a very good family hotel, nicely renovated in a good location with easy access once you have found it.
Horrible staff. Never will go to this best western again. No one communicates with each other or cares about guest experiences. The only thing that was ok was the pool. I have enjoyed many best westerns but the calgary crowchild location is the worst!
My go to hotel when in Calgary. Fantastic breakfast buffet, close to the c train and all in all a wonderful experience.Clean, comfortable and affordable. Awesome service. Everyone smiles and the really make you feel at home. The even remembered us!Great value for the money. You won't regret staying there.
I've been staying here for many years and the VPI has never let me down. Rooms fantastic, love the atrium style for the pool and bar/restaurant. Coffee included with machine in room, close to city, Denny's next door if you get bored with food (I stay for many weeks), hot tub...gym area is nice enough for simple things ...friendly staff. Get those elevators doors to close quicker :)
Wow were we EVER impressed with the Best Western Village Park in Calgary last weekend. We were in town for a girl's hockey tournament and the hotel was our first stop. Easy check in. Added bonus of underground parking courtesy of our enrollment in the Best Western customer appreciation program. Our 2 queen bed room big and clean and comfortable. Hallways open and tidy. Complimentary breakfast buffet quite possibly the best I have ever had at a hotel. Hotel was very accommodating to our team requests. And every staff member I encountered was friendly and helpful. Thank you Best Western for being a part of a great weekend for our Comets girl's midget hockey team.
...... due to the nearby road construction. The front desk staff were incredible especially Joseph. There is secure underground parking in a heated area. While there is also outside parking it can be quite full, The entry / lobby is really impressive and they have glass elevators to go up to the higher floors. I was on the fifth floor and is is an atrium style with the pool, hot tub, bar and restaurants on the main floor. Sound rises so it is easy to hear the people in the pool screaming. There are restricted pool hours but then you can hear the bar patrons. Early in the morning the sports teams were in the restaurant for the start of their day and I could hear them too. The room was spotless with a great breakfast. Will definitely stay here again.
All of the rooms are surround the restaurant and bar so don't expect to get any sleep. There is not enough parking spots for the non members although they did provide me with underground parking as I complained.
Front desk was excellent, good vibes on arrival made a good start. Good clean hotel overall with modernized rooms and great finishes, beds were comfy but they only offered 4 fat pillows. The only issues with the rooms is the sound deadening, it is pretty awful both room to room and room to the open atrium! Open atrium is a cool idea but that causes a lot of ambient noise to bombard the room. Overall good quality and service for the price, super clean and nice rooms!
With all the upgrades over the last couple years, this hotel is easily exceeding my expectations. I have stayed at this property at least once a month for the last 12 years. I have yet to meet someone there that was not knowledgeable about their position or their hotel. Very nice to walk in the door and have them greet you by name!The restaurant menu has grown in stature as well... the food tastes as good as the pictures and write up, so they are not overselling their culinary capability.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Village Park Inn. We've been travelling to Calgary every few months this year, and this hotel has been the best value for money so far. The rooms have been completely renovated and are nicely appointed. Wifi is good and we were happy with the satellite TV. We joined the reward program so that the underground parking was free. A decent breakfast buffet is included in the room price. Only downfall is that the hotel is open plan so you can hear foot traffic outside if ppl get too rowdy. Otherwise, it wasn't too bad. And all of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again.
The staff can make all the difference and the staff made the experience great. The buffet breakfast was a real plus. The location with easy access to LRT and the main North-South route was a definite benefit.
We stayed here for the night of Oct 20. The hotel was very full, as most of the guests were there for the football game much like we were, but you wouldn't have known it. Parking was free and there was tons of above ground and below ground. We stayed in room 226, and it was right across from the pool which was awesome. Very clean and friendly and breakfast was one of the best “continental breakfasts” I've had. It included; scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, pastry, waffles irons with batter and such, toast, etc. I would highly recommend this hotel. Super accommodating and a decent price for the flexibility of the location! Oh yah, and the riders won which was even better! Don't let the negative reviews deter you. Only thing to mention is that on the one side of the building, the ground was all ripped up and there was construction of some work going on (over the weekend it was quiet) just for people who might notice it.
Since the last time I stayed here the hotel has had to institute a new system to keep track of patrons at breakfast. It is so good guests from other properties were coming over to eat. Renovations are complete and the place looks amazing. Service was outstanding from all staff.
We were impressed with the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn. We received a very good deal for a one night stay. Check in was friendly and efficient. Parking underground was free. The hotel looks like it has been recently renovated and is very large. Our room was very comfortable. The staff gave us all the information we needed for our stay. We did not have a chance to use the pool or hot tub, but the area looked attractive.Towels and linens were of good quality and our bed was very comfortable. The hot buffet breakfast was a plus. I would recommend a stay at this hotel if you want a hotel close to McMahon stadium or close to the TransCanada Highway.
My sister-in-law and I stayed for two nights (Friday and Saturday) last weekend to attend Railway Days together. What a wonderful hotel and at such reasonable rates too. My sister-in-law booked it so I'm not sure if it's easy to book but she stays there quite often, so I assume it is. Our room was on the main floor with two queen beds, a desk with an ergonomic chair, an upholstered chair, an alarm clock (the same one I had 30 years ago which was pretty darn cool), a microwave, a fridge, a personal coffee maker and a safe. It was spacious and very clean. The decore is very nice - with clean lines. The beds each came with 4 pillows, sparkling white linens and were very comfortable. There was a very large television with a slew of channels to select from. The wi-fi was free which was fast and reliable. it was nice to be in a hotel room with hardwood floors rather than carpet. The air conditioning worked wonderfully and so did the heat in the room. The walk in shower was large (but it took me a few minutes to figure out how to operate it lol) and it was tricky, with the stationary shower door by the tap, to reach in to turn it to the proper temperature without getting sprayed with a blast of cold. But once I got it right there was lots of hot water. I was slightly concerned about the bathroom not having an exhaust fan, but the steam seemed to stay behind the closed shower doors. The bathroom was very clean as well. And it was very nice to use a 'real' hair dryer rather than a typical white on the wall hotel hair dryer. Hotel Mgmt: I forgot to mention while I was there, the shower drain in room 104 drains quite slowly - you may want to check it - the level of water does get dangerously close to overflowing while in use. Service was great and ALWAYS with a smile. Every staff member would smile and say hello - which was wonderful. Their little store they have by the lobby is quite well stocked. Our room had a connecting door which let sound into our room from the next room. We were able to listen to our neighbor on Friday early evening playing some really good blues music (it was for only an hour). But the next set of tenants in that room (4 or 5 men) on Saturday night were talking quite loudly before they went out that evening but it was even worse when they drunkenly arrived back and woke us up at 3am. It sounded like they were partying but inside our room. A quick call to the front desk and a few minutes later, we had silence once again. That was the only time we heard anything from outside our room and I believe it all came through the connecting door between the rooms, perhaps the doors are not insulated against sound? The breakfast buffet that comes with the room is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE! So many choices to choose from - hot and cold! While we there they had: Baked beans, sausages, scrambled eggs, toppings (shredded cheese, chopped onion, chopped cucumber, salsa) for your scrambled eggs, seasoned roasted potatoes, a waffle making station, toast, bagels, boiled eggs, fruit, cereals, porridge, juices, coffee, teas. I have never seen such a great breakfast buffet like that included in the cost of the room - it was wonderful and very popular. The restaurant staff ensured that all the choices remained well stocked and were hot. There is a lot of room and quite a few tables to choose to sit at. Our room had a door behind the curtain to the outside parking lot which was quite nice. The 'designated smoking area' is in the far corner of the parking lot next to the parking lot exit to the street. It is lit by the lot lights during the evening but you still need to be aware of your surroundings - it's not that close to the lobby door if trouble comes at you and you are standing out in the open at night. Being a senior(ish) female, I was not comfortable standing alone there at night alone so when I went out to vape I stood closer to the outer cement wall of the parking lot, but away from the hotel - it was safer than standing out in the open like that. The proximity to the C-Train was wonderful. Catching a west bound train from downtown to the Banff Trail station, then walking 5 minutes to the hotel was so very quick and easy. The restaurant and lounge in the hotel are quite nice, with wonderful food, great service and atmosphere. And there are other restaurants very close to the hotel. It's in a great location. I will definitely be back. I think I found my new go to hotel when I visit Calgary. Thank you Best Western.
I was very satisfied with an 8-day stay at this hotel. It has a very well equipped gym (2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, bike, weights) and there is a running track about 5 minutes away, across Crowchild Trail. There are 2 washers and 2 dryers for laundry. Also, the Calgary Herald newspaper is available at breakfast. The internet is fine.
We stayed one night for a wedding and were very happy with the the hotel. We felt we had great value for our dollar. We booked through Expedia and were not disappointed. It was very clean, and our room was modern and nicely decorated. The breakfast included was of good variety and quality buffet. The hotel itself is well laid out with a pool in the central area and a well equipped gym. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was very central to the city, the stadium and and easy access to the Hwy. We would definitely recommend it and stay again.
The lobby was spacious and welcoming. There was a business centre and a small convenience store to the left and there are various conference areas. There is a lounge and a restaurant, the variety of food on the menu is wide and the prices are reasonable. Buffet breakfast was very good and offered many different choices. Our room was on the second floor, the same level as the hot tub and swimming pool....we did not often hear any noise from it, even though it was open until 10:00 pm. The beds/linen and pillows were very comfortable, we asked for flatter pillows after the first night, and housekeeping accommodated us. The toiletries (shampoo/body wash, conditioner and lotion) smelled lovely! There was no real view from the windows, but it didn't really matter. There was a good size mini-fridge with a tiny freezer, a microwave and a coffee machine. The rooms are built all up around the centre, and look down on the lounge/bar, restaurant and pool area, which is quite nice. There are many eateries and a liquor store within walking distance, and a small mall with a Mark's, Winners and Shoppers with less than 15 min walk. There is also a train station (Banff Trail) around 5 minutes walk away. The taxi is between $35 and 40 to the airport. Other than the taxi cost, this is a great hotel if you are attending an event in the area and I would definitely recommend it.
This is a lovely hotel in Calgary, very close to the Trans-Canada Highway. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Internet is excellent. The hotel has five stories with corridors looking out onto an atrium with a swimming pool. I would be cautious about allowing children to roam unattended in the corridors just because of the design of the hotel. The hotel features a restaurant and a bar and grill, but the restaurant, although advertising hours to ten p.m., was closed when I arrived at 7:30. The bar and grill uses the same menu. The menu lacks the variety that I would expect at such a hotel. For example, the only item featuring chicken was a butter chicken recipe. There is underground parking, which is very nice, especially in the winter, which in Calgary seems to start in early September. Bath/shower fixtures are somewhat counter-intuitive. You have to turn that knob really hard to make it work. I would recommend this hotel to young people who like comfort and the bar scene. Rooms are surprisingly quiet given the open layout. It seems less family-friendly than other Best Western Hotels that I have stayed in.
Very unique hotel but clean and well maintained. Within walking distance of McMahon Stadium. Excellent breakfast and the bed was awesome. The pool was small but was just fine. The staff were very friendly and allowed us a late checkout as well. Will definitely stay here again.
I met my brother in Calgary for the Labour Day Classic. I chose this hotel because it was a Best Western, and within walking distance to McMahon stadium. What a great choice. The staff are great, the room I had was fantastic. We enjoyed some wings and pints in the bar as well as Dinner and drinks in the restaurant. We had the same server both days and she mad our day both times. Sorry I didn't get her name. We are planning for next years game, and we will be staying at this Best Western again. Thank you Village Park Inn for being part of a great memory.
Tucked out of the way in a square of hotels. An obvious sign would have helped. Older hotel that had been updated. Clean with nice staff. Rooms weren't that sound proofed. Sounds transfer was mostly from bathroom to bathroom. Great breakfast buffet. Not a huge pool but served the purpose. Overall, a good experience.
The hotel is right on Crowchild and 16th ave so it's very convenient to get anywhere on the highway. Seemed to have ample parking and there was another lot beside the hotel. Strange layout that the entire inside of the hotel is open concept up to the ceiling, almost like an indoor motel of sorts. Did notice that sound did travel a bit, but didn't have any large interruptions during the stay. Nice restaurant and pool on ground floor as well.
My wife had a medical procedure and we needed to be close to the hospital. We found this place and seeing the Best Western name knew it would be decent. Upon arrival we found it to be so much more than we expected. We were greeted by incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff, we were given an excellent medical rate, and our stay was well worth the money. Location was perfect for us, they had a great complimentary breakfast, excellent movie channels and the entire facility was clean and very well kept. Loved the open concept inside overlooking the restaurant and pool area. We will be staying here again for sure.
Came back here for 3 nights. It's just a great hotel in a surprisingly convenient location. Breakfast and pool are excellent. Only complaint - our corner room had an INCREDIBLY small bathroom! Not sure why. Oh well. We survived. Our go-to for Calgary trips now.
So, here is the good part: the hotel is conveniently located with the metro around the corner. The hotel is kept extremely clean and overall it is a visually appealing. Add to that a breakfast well above average with many choices. The not so good part: Whoever designed the hotel seemed to be more concerned with providing a visually appealing space than providing a restful place. The rooms are situated around an atrium and thus you can hear anyone who is walking through or any group of people at the bar. Add to that the fact that situated in the atrium is an open pool which guests can utilize until 10PM. So, the sounds of adults at the pool and children playing kept us from enjoying peace and quiet until 10:00 PM. Add to that thin walls that allowed us to hear the conversations next door, and the whole experience was not particularly pleasant. If you do intend to stay in this place, ask for the quietest room possible. If you are told that the corner room on the side of the pool is a quiet one, know that it is not.
My family stayed here for the first time and we all had a great stay. First the concierge staff were amazing and check-in experience was wonderful, the hotel location was really good, the room was spacious and clean, I even enjoyed using the gym which has the basic equipment and the breakfast was really really good most especially the omelette with choices of salsa, cheese, green onions on the side. There is also a pool right in the center and though it worried me that it might be noisy as we were near the pool, actually the noise didn't penetrate our room and therefore we had a good quality sleep. Wow, definitely not the last time for my family!!!
We traveled to Alberta in end of July - beginning of August 2018. We planned to go to Banff a lot so we were looking for a hotel in the western part of Calgary (to reduce travel time) and we book this hotel. Check-in and check-out were fast and easy. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good, with lots of choices for food (hot and not so much). We enjoyed the pool and whirl pool (it was great after a long day of hiking). We parked in underground parking, which was very convenient. On the whole, we were very pleased with this hotel.
Very good accommodations. Great breakfast. A bit more expensive than nearby hotels but superior in quality. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The front desk manager was outstanding when i needed some help.
Centrally located - exceptional customer service in all area of the hotel. (Get the free rewards card at check in for free underground parking) Breakfast buffet is good - some hot and cold options. Restaurant service is good - volume of food offered is more than adequate. Be aware that the centrally located indoor pool and hot tub will add to hallway noise in the interior open concept design of this building.
I was with my family and everyone was happy with the place. The room was very clean and quiet. We enjoyed the breakfast especially the kids. There was a lot of variety. We actually wanted to extend our stay but they were fully booked.The staff were very helpful
Thank to Ronald at the Reservation desk for helping us get a room on short notice. We traveled over 14 hours to find the hotel we originally booked was not to our standards so we found the Best Western just down the road. Ronald was able to find us an amazing room, very reasonable price and great points on our Best Western Awards card. The atmosphere in this hotel was like a vacation itself and the food was amazing. Looking forward to visiting this hotel again.
We are just regular working folks (now retired on a fixed income) who appreciate good value for our hard-earned money. And the Best Western in Calgary's "Motel Village" has been providing us with great service and decent accommodations for over twenty years now. Here are a few of the special features that I feel are worth mentioning: The hotel is located just a couple of minutes away from the Foothills Hospital, and the Best Western provides us with a special rate for hospital visits. The hotel has secure heated underground parking, which is especially appreciated during the winter months. A full Breakfast in the hotel restaurant is free for their guests, and they have an indoor pool. In short, I feel safe promising that any guest will a great bang for their buck.
The rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast above standard for hotel breakfasts. Pool is small and a bit cool, the whirlpool lukewarm. Nice to have refrigerator & mircowave. Staff all seem friendly. Easy access to transit so you don't have to drive downtown, the C-train in 5 min walk and 15 min max to downtown.
I loved all from check-in and check out was very easy, i do not need to go to reception they dropped the bills and i just went straight to my car next day morning :) . They gave me underground parking which was nice (they said coz i have best western loyalty card). Free breakfast has many options including hot food. the room was super clean and spacious . its value for money and will definitely stay there in future . only 1 worry - There was a board "grab and go" in the reception (normally they should keep bottle water and fruit) but unfortunately they didnt had any and in the night when i asked the person in reception, he told me they dont keep any which was little weird but all good :)
A high level of customer service from check in to check out. Rooms are very clean and spacious, staff is attentive and breakfast is provided - though a few more breakfast options would be appreciated. Overall though, excellent value.
Very nice room with large TV and good internet. Free breakfast on actual plates and regular cutlery. Not the use once and toss type. We do not need to add extra garbage to this world. Plenty and fast, efficient and aware staff for the breakfast area. Overall an excellent place to stay, even though it can be a bit tricky to get to, if you do not google the location to be able to visualize your approach. We will stay there again.
Having stayed at a wide range of hotels, we made the presumption that the word “Plus” actually meant that the Best Western chain considered this property a bit better than their standard hotels. We could not find anything that would warrant that interpretation at this property. The first thing I must point out is that, even though the hotel lists its address as 1804 Crowchild Trail, it is actually located on 24 St NW which is elevated above Crowchildand can be best accessed by turning off Crowchild onto 23 Ave NW. When we were driving there we did not see the property at all and passed right by and were forced to turn around further up the road. The answer at the front desk was that the hotel was on the Crowchild “service road”. One day prior to arrival we called to ensure that we could get a room with two queen beds instead of one king. We were assured that this had been arranged however, when we arrived at the room, we found it to be a king bed room. The front desk staff indicated that “someone had changed it back” and offered no further explanation or apology. We were told that, because someone had just cancelled, there was one double queen bedded room left and we were assigned it. The view of the atrium from the elevator ride was pleasant and we did see what appeared to be a relatively small pool and Jacuzzi however, later events prohibited us from actually checking them out more closely. When we arrived in that fourth floor room, to say the least, we were shocked. I have never seen a hotel room that has two doors into the room, one leading to the main portion of the hotel overlooking the atrium and one leading to a walkway around the hotel. The only way to prevent people from seeing into the room as they walked by was to keep the drapes closed all the time, which in itself is a bit strange. The main door was equipped with a modern security latch however the one leading to the outside had the old fashioned type. We got comfortable and then noticed something that felt like a rock imbedded in the carpet in front of the TV however, it did not come out. We next noticed there were no individual amenities in the bathroom. Instead the hotel had decided to install large squeeze bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The only place I had ever seen this previously had been some work camps in NW Canada. At the last “Plus” hotel we had stayed at, they had taken the extra step to ensure that tall people could enjoy a shower as much as short people and had equipped them with a device sometimes known as a “shower up” which raised the shower head much higher. Not so at this hotel and the shower head was at nose level. For some unknown reason, whoever designed the bathroom renovation made the same mistake we found at another property and placed a “grab bar” in the shower exactly where one will bang their elbow into it every time they turn in the shower. Designing it to slope the opposite direction would have resolved this issue however, this was not done Interestingly, unlike any of the other BW hotels we have stayed at, there was no lighting available in the desk area. There are lights in the headboards, one by the main front door, and one in the corner of the room but other than that, the room is poorly illuminated. We decided to watch a bit of TV and learned that the hotel had opted for a cable package that included 10 sports channels, perhaps because they are located directly across the street from McMahon Stadium. If one is a sports fan this may be great but we are not. As we watched TV, we could hear the sounds of kids screaming while playing in the pool area which was part of the atrium. When we could still hear them screaming at 10:05 pm, I called the front desk to ask what time the pool closed and was told “in about five minutes”. The noise level diminished quite a bit after that. I am happy to say that the beds were very comfortable and we slept well. I have to admit I have stayed at very few hotels designed around an atrium however this was the noisiest one that I have been to. In the morning we again heard noises including the people setting up for breakfast. Interestingly, although we had arranged for a wake up call, none was ever received. When I called the front desk to ask if the system was out of order, no explanation or apology was provided or offered. Complimentary breakfast began at 7:00 am and there were a few people waiting when we arrived. At 7:05 the lights were turned on but by then the people waiting had begun serving and seating themselves. Breakfast included nicely done thick bacon, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, salsa, and freshly cut/chopped vegetables. There was also a juice fountain, peeled boiled eggs, and a selection of bread and a toaster. On another row was a selection of cold cereals, a waffle maker with whipped cream and toppings, some yogurt and fresh fruit as well as three coffee dispensers and a selection of tea. At 7:15 they did bring out a dish of hash brown potatoes that also were perfectly done. The breakfast was well presented and tasted great. One slightly strange thing I noted was that when the server came to remove my plate, she also took my cutlery too that I had specifically placed beside the plate on my napkin. I had been taught that if one was done with everything, one placed the knife and fork next to each other on the plate as a signal to the server that you were done. It was not that big of a deal to walk back up to the line to get another knife and fork, simply an inconvenience. Getting ready to check out I noticed a sign regarding charges for amenities however, there was nothing to indicate how many of any one item should have been present in the room. I can only presume that this means that the property has suffered a rash of thefts in the past. Again, the only time I have ever experienced this has been at work camps however, there they provide a list of what should be provided and instructions that guests should inventory the room when they arrive. Without providing a list, there is no way for a guest to know what should be present or what they might be charged for when they leave (even if they are not responsible for something being missing). I definitely found this a bit strange. One other this about the property was that none of the staff did or said anything to make us feel welcome at any point; instead they simply did their jobs. This included the front desk staff at check-in and check-out, the restaurant staff, and the housekeeping staff when we ran into them. Quite often customers are willing to overlook many things if they are made to feel special but the management of this property has not imparted this wisdom upon their staff.
Stayed two nights with my family, the hotel, pool and room was clean. The staff was friendly the only issue was that we had to ask twice for extra bedding for the pull out couch but did get them before bed!
Nice hotel that needs to do just a bit more to become a Great hotel. The restaurant and lounge tries to be more upsale than it is. The higher end foods are not really well prepared. Better off eating at off location establishments. The free breakfast is pretty plain and over the multi day stay was poorly prepared.
Great family hotel in Calgary. The rooms are clean and spacious and the food is simple but good. The kids loved the pool area and the transit system is nearby and easy to use. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!
My husband and I had to make a trip to Calgary for an appointment downtown. we decided to take an extra day and go to the Calgary Stampede and this hotel was the perfect place to stay. This Best Western is conveniently located in "motel village" - for those of us who remember it that way - and is very close to the Banff Trail C-train station. It was a quick C-train trip to downtown and then on to the Stampede - we totally avoided all the parking hassles. While it is an older hotel with an interior courtyard, pool and restaurant, they've done a nice job of updating it. The room was spacious with comfortable beds, fridge, microwave, coffee pot and sitting area. Our room was right next to the pool which can be noisy for those who want quiet. Just ask for a different room. The breakfast in the courtyard had your basic hot and cold selections which was adequate for what we wanted. I would stay here again.
The good - the rooms are exccellent with super comfy beds, close to tram station, excelent free wifi, restaurent food was good. The bad - the pool and restaurant area is located in the middle of all the rooms, the noise echos around and can be heard inside your room. Restaurant service is very slow on a quiet night. The very bad - you're asked to sign a form with your room rate upon check-in, when we checked out 2 of the 3 nights had a higher rate! Complained and had about $100 taken off.
I have stayed in many BWs and this is the best. Rooms have been updated since I was last there four years ago with thermostat controlled fan, heat and cooling, digital keycards, decor. Breakfast bar can't be beat - they have everything. Public areas are tasteful and bright and the manager seems to be everywhere smiling and greeting. Hot tub was not hot enough for me is the only downside.
The Best Western Plus Village Park Inn in Calgary, AB was a home away from home while my husband had open heart surgery at the Foothills Hospital. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, often stopping to ask how we were doing and how my husband was doing. The building is extremely clean and inviting. The continental breakfast is the best we have ever seen, a variety of fresh delicious food each morning. The restaurant had a great selection of food for lunch and supper also. The rooms were fresh and inviting, quiet and comfortable. The underground parking was very convenient. This is a must stay place when traveling to Calgary.
Fantastic room with two queen beds. Nice swimming pool and hot tub. Rooms open onto pool and restaurant. We asked for quiet room just off the main corridor. Food in the main restaurant was of good quality. There are a few restaurants nearby ie Denny's. Easy to catch the train into Calgary - station is 3 minutes walk away. Not much to see around the hotel, but this was good value for money. Nice helpful staff and ok breakfast.
We needed to stay a week night in Calgary to attend a funeral the next day and scoured the internet for a place to stay. There were a lot of options at a very reasonable price with almost all of them offering a breakfast. We chose the Best Western Plus Village Park inn because of the price and location and were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is older however it has been renovated which was good as our room had a nice new smell. Rooms were large and the fridge and microwave were a plus. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hot and really good. The only thing I would recommend is to get a room away from the breakfast area. The hotel has a large open courtyard with all the rooms opening to that courtyard. All we could hear was klinking plates starting early in the morning so sleeping in was not an option. A room on the opposite end would be suggested.
The hotel is quite basic, but they make your stay feel way more expensive than it really is. The room is really big and the bathroom fully equipped. Bed, pillows, sheets and blankets are amazing! They have pool, a bar and a good option of breakfast. Don't expect a wide variety of food every morning, but some well made food that will be enough for the morning. They have some cons, of course. The water pressure is not as good as you might want and as the pool and everything else are located in the middle of the hotel, and every room can hear all the laughs, they close really early. But still, it's not a place the you may book if you are looking for a bar to drink all night. So overall it's a really good cost-benefit hotel. Also, Downtown Calgary is not a never ending night place. Eventually you will end up early at the hotel. The hotel is near the CTrain station, as well. And don't forget the two most important things: 1. They have a all you can eat waffle during breakfast!! 2. You can send stuff you buy online to the hotel!
Our first impressions of this Best Western Hotel were great. They allowed us early check-in which was kind. Front desk attendants were very helpful and nice at check-in. We stayed in the Jacuzzi suite with our 3 children and were immediately wowed with the aesthetics. The room was large and beautiful. The breakfast - for an included breakfast - was excellent. Our kind bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very modern and lovely! The not so great parts: pool is weird. Second floor in the courtyard so everyone who would like can stand on any floor and watch you swim. Felt a bit like being in a fishbowl. It was an adequate pool and my kids enjoyed it. Not tons of seating around the pool so it was nice that it wasn't crowded. It was noisy. We could hear the folks next door, the kids running through the halls, the activity downstairs. There is an balcony that runs along the length of the building with no barriers so at one point we had neighbour kids knocking on our patio door. Our toilet plugged and we called for a plunger...took hours to come. We needed pillows and blankets for our kids staying on the pull-out couch. I called the front desk and nobody answered so I went down to get them myself. Front desk said they would send some up...never came. I called again 45 min later while my kids waited to sleep and they said they hadn't gotten around to asking. When the blankets did come they were super weird. Like army surplus or something. Sticky and thin and just odd...I will say I was asked if I wanted a duvet or blankets - should have said duvet. I would stay here again....if our favourite Calgary Best Western was full...otherwise back to Best Western Port o' Call.
The comfort and amenities of this hotel is surpassed only by the first class service provided by the staff. From the reception desk to the breakfast room, guests are made to feel welcome by the friendliness of the employees. From discussion with Emad, the general manager, it is clear that such treatment is a policy of the hotel; obviously, the success of creating this atmosphere is due to staff members being well treated. In addition, the breakfast menu and service is excellent.
Everything was very clean. The house keepers were always friendly as were all the hotel staff. The pool and hot tub were nice to relax in. The hotel had a modern feel. The general manager went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. He was very personable. Would forsure reccomend this hotel. It is close to SAIT, north hill mall, 10 minutes from Market Mall, and very close to Mcmahon Stadium.
Very comfortable and clean hotel. Staff push it to 5*. Friendly, helpful from front desk to buffet breakfast staff. Felt welcome from the minute we walked in the door. Now our hotel of choice when visiting Calgary!
My son and I came down for the Stampede Challenge hockey tournament along with the rest of our team, (the Canwest AAA Kings ??) and were thoroughly impressed. Beautiful renovation, Courtyard style with central pool, perfect central location, price was right, and the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
We found this hotel to be convenient, comfortable beds, very clean and served an excellent breakfast which was included . The staff were friendly both at the front desk and for supper in the bar area. Would recommend. Good value for the price .
I stayed at the hotel for 6 nights as my husband was hospitalized @ Foothills Medical Centre. The staff of this property are, without exception, very kind and caring. They did everything possible to make my stay comfortable. The room was excellent - quiet, incredibly clean, comfortable and secure. The morning breakfast buffet is very good with a terrific selection of hot and cold items. The restaurant/lounge food is very good. The front desk staff (especially Ronald) went the extra mile to ensure that everything was OK and extended my stay as required. Ronald also made sure I had bagged breakfasts to take to the hospital on the day of surgery as we had to leave before the buffet was open - he made sure to send an extra one along in case my husband 's surgery was cancelled. The hotel is in such a great location - easy to take a cab to the hospital and walkable. I would highly recommend this hotel!!!
Excellent hotel, Many extras included. The manager has complimentary drinks and snack on Tuesday evenings. Great pool, top buffet breakfast, eexcellent bar and evening meals. Highly recommend. Have stayed there on three occasions now, same first class service every time.
The hotel was easy to find, the staff was efficient and very pleasant. The complimentary breakfast was very good. However the room itself was not clean. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom needed a little more attention.
Hotel room was nice and I really enjoyed the layout of the hotel and being able to look out your door and see down into the restaurants/breakfast areas. Getting to the hotel was a bit difficult and the turn is really tight and easy to miss. We had a block booking for a wedding that we were attending and unfortunately the rooms that one of our family members had requested wasn't up to standard (he had a wheel chair and wasn't able to fit through the bathroom door) the hotel was able to put him in a different room that was a bit better. After some of the bridesmaids came back from the wedding really late Saturday night the front desk attendants told them they didn't have a room left for them (even though they had booked months in advance and had a confirmation number for their booking) after they showed the confirmation number they were able to have the last room (so they were told) in the hotel. If you want to sleep in this really isn't the hotel for you as it can get loud in the rooms just from everyone getting an early breakfast in, all I could hear after 7am was the beeping of the waffle maker even though I had a room on the 4th floor. The location of the hotel is great and really close to shopping centres and the city centre.
We stayed here on a Saturday night, and paid a total of $180. For the price, we have stayed in better hotels value-wise. I will say though, that this was the best Best Western we have stayed in. The hotel was decent, has some nice updates, and staff were mostly friendly. The room was clean, but other parts of the hotel needed a good deep cleaning (specifically floors, stairs.) We were in room 236, and our view was the worst we have ever had. Not that it bothered us that much, but it was really bad. I am posting a picture for reference. If a view is important, ask for a room on the 4th floor. The layout of this hotel is interesting. The pool, restaurant and bar are all in a central indoor space. So being in the pool is a little weird, because everyone throughout the hotel is looking in on you. Besides the small pool, there is a hot tub. There is no water slide. We liked that there was some nice seating around the pool for those of us who weren't swimming. The included breakfast was one of the better ones we have had a hotel. However, it seemed that all the other guests felt the same. It was so busy, they even ran out of forks for quite a while. We had to lurk around looking for a free table too. I would suggest getting there early if you don't want to fight the crowd. Parking was free. This hotel is easy to access as it's right off 16th ave (Trans-Canada). We chose to stay here because it is close to the Jubilee Auditorium.
The staff at the hotel went out of their way to assist my mother and aunts during their stay. It almost seemed that they were responsible for their well being. This attention was greatly appreciated by them and by me.
Our business stay in Calgary was only for one night, but the experience with the hotel staff was superb and the hotel was an amazingly beautiful place to stay. The pictures on their website didn't prepare us for how classy the place really was to see in person. The bedroom was clean, quiet, comfortable. The bedding was almost like being home. The breakfast the next morning was perfect. The restaurant inside the hotel, nestled in the center of the atrium core of the building, had a diverse menu and reasonable prices. And the underground parking garage was a perfect place to keep my BMW out of the weather. The elevator, with a glass view of the hotel atrium, made it easy to go straight from the garage to our floor, or right to the restaurant. My wife and I will definitely stay here again on our next business trip, and will recommend it to our friends and family.
This hotel chain is using SOOOOO much plastic, it's unconscionable. In your room, there are no drinking containers or coffee options that do not include plastic. There are stacks of plastic cups, and each plastic cups is individually wrapped in plastic. Or stacks of non-recyclable paper cups, each wrapped in plastic. The coffee maker is a single cup coffee maker, so you have to use a non-recyclable paper cup (wrapped in plastic) and water in a plastic bottle to make coffee. There are no utensils, only plastic stir sticks.
NIce spacious room. Comfortable beds, Very nicely renovated BR with good shower & all toiletries you might need. Efficient check in & check out. Included breakfast was OK- usual items & very good coffee. Supper in restaurant was fair - service was good but food was not very good. Pool & hot tub good. All staff very friendly & helpful.
This is a solid hotel in terms of amenities, location, state of cleanliness, cost and general quality. This is our usual hotel when in Calgary on business. The staff is always very polite and knowledgeable and the complimentary breakfast is among the best I have had in a hotel-probably the main reason we keep going back. The gym is also better than most hotels I have been to. That said, they recently released a new menu in the restaurant is average quality and pricy.
The hotel itself is nice. The courtyard style makes for a nice change of pace from the usual hotel. The area itself isnt great. It's right near McMahon Stadium, which isn't an ideal area for anything unless you're going to a football game. Exterior could use some improvement, but the underground parking was a big plus.
Great location! Friendly staff for the most part. WIFI did not work and the Hot tub was not hot at all, like a warm pool. The openness made for a great looking hotel but was loud in the evenings. When there were people visiting out there it echoed a fair bit.
I have stayed at this property many times and it is a pleasure to return. They treat me like family. The rooms are always clean, They have good beds, great TVs and a Hot tub and pool. They offer a nice breakfast which is included in my room rate .
For the last 5 years this has been our go to hotel when staying in Calgary. It's clean, updated, well located, and is a very good value for your dollar. They renovated the hotel in the last couple of years and that has made it even better. The breakfast is decent, lots of choices.. The only downside is the pool is in the centre courtyard of the hotel so it can be quite noisy at times but by the time you go to bed it's quiet. We haven't eaten in the restaurant in a few years so I can't comment on that, but we love going to Nick's which is a short walk from the hotel...great Italian food, very generous portions.
Quality of room was excellent. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Village Park location is central to much of Calgary. Restaurant food variety and quality is very good. Underground parkade is great and secure.
We were booked for 3 nights but hit a storm and ended up arriving a day late. Front desk staff was accommodating and friendly when we called to let them know and when we finally arrived. Check in was quick and painless. Our room was clean and well appointed. Housekeeping was very good. As other reviewers have mentioned, the whole hotel is built around the pool and atrium this means there are no “quiet” rooms. That being said, we stayed right next to the pool and didn't find the noise too bothersome (disclaimer: we have (older) kids so we are fairly used to some noise). Staff closed the pool on time so there was some respite. We had no issues with noise from other patrons getting breakfast in the morning. Breakfast selections were varied (hot and cold items) and overall very good. The hotel was well located for our competition at the university...just a few minutes drive. And easy to get to and from. Everything we needed was also close by. The pool is smallish but the kids had no complaints and were happy with it. They always bring a few small toys for the pool when there is no water slide so they made their own fun. The hot tub was nice too. My only complaint would be how dim the lighting in the pool area was at night but that is not exactly a deal breaker. Underground parking was good with plenty of space available when we were there. There was only one elevator running due to upgrades but that won't be forever. We did not have a chance to try out the restaurant. We will likely be back for the same competition next year and would definitely book here again.
Close to major routes, easy access from roadway. Quite and clean location close to restaurants. Great amenities within hotel, pool, lounge, restaurant. Nice layout of rooms with exterior entrance. Black out curtains were fantastic
Arrived at the hotel as a winter snow storm was looming, and a number of volleyball and hockey teams were checking in for tournaments over the Easter weekend. The hotel booking system seemed to have a glitch in it that caused overbooking and when we arrived our reserved room was not available. There were other guests in a similar predicament, and this was stressful for some, particularly with the impending storm and it's projected impact on travel the next day. The desk staff, Ronald, Joseph, and a trainee maintained a calm, professional and reassuring demeanour, and worked with us to find a room in the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with all elements in working order. We were particularly impressed with the kitchen that provides fare for The Courtyard restaurant and Rockies Bar. We sampled a couple of delicious Indian dishes as well as steaks that were as good as those I've had at restaurants that specialize in steaks. The breakfast was comprised of “real” food and plenty of hot choices, i.e. real scrambled eggs, beans, bacon and sausages, and not the fake powdered eggs and meat product cylinders often served as part of the complimentary breakfasts. Throughout our two-day stay, the staff, from housecleaning to restaurant to front desk, were courteous and polite not only to the guests, but towards each other, and I certainly had the sense that Ronald and Joseph at the front desk truly cared about the guests. The hotel is constructed in an open concept with the bar and restaurants, as well as the pool and tub in the centre, with the rooms on the outside. As a consequence, the noise level can be a bit much during the day, but by 11pm the pool is closed and the restaurant clientele have departed. Getting to this hotel is not intuitive. It is in the same block as a number of other hotels, but you have to navigate to what appears to be the rear of the other hotels to find the BW. There are only a couple of parking spots out front that are for temporary use while checking in. The main parking for the hotel is underground.
I was looking for a hotel in northwest Calgary and found this gem. I booked it because of its location, its in a hotel chain that I support and didn't pay a lot of attention to the amenities. When I drove up to it I thought well just a typical hotel, Ill stay my one night and be off. Then I walked through the front doors! As soon as you walk in you realize they have been upgrading the whole place. They provided great service at the front desk and were very welcoming. On my way to the room the only negative I would have to say about the hotel was that one of the two elevators was down for servicing and looked like it had been for quite a while. Small distraction! Upon entering my room I was absolutely blown away. It was clean, extremely modernized and spacious. That theme was actually throughout the hotel. They offered an awesome breakfast with pretty well anything a person could want. I would give this hotel 4 1/2 stars out of 5.
Great place to stay for our weekend at dance comp. Very close to the university of Calgary. The front staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff in the breakfast area were friendly and also very helpful. They asked if we where done before removing your plate.
The BW Village Park Inn is our hotel of choice when coming to Calgary for Medical purposes. Not only is it in close proximity to Hospitals, and surrounded by dining and entertainment options, it is staffed by knowledgeable, efficient, and caring staff! We've tried other options, but always come back to the BW Village Park Inn!
Good place to stay while in Calgary. Convenient location. Nice room. Trip was for medical appointment at Foothills Hospital/University of Calgary and it was close by and easy to get to the hospital for appointment. Parking at Health Building was rather expensive but otherwise ok. Parking at the hotel was great, heated underground and secure.
Everything is your standard hotel with comp breakfast which is nice. The downfall is the structure and design of the building. We stayed over a Saturday night the same weekend there were young sports teams there. Let's just say they enjoyed having a pool located in the center of the building with no sound barrier first thing in the morning. All the noise travels up so if you're staying there on a weekend, ask for a room on the same side as the lobby. We called the front desk to ask them if they could send someone over to the pool but they said they've already done that a few times.
This is my new go-to hotel for business at the Foothills Hospital. I've also started staying there for personal travel. Very clean. Friendly staff. Great bar and wonderful breakfast. You can't beat the price!
Being so close to the highway, we expected more highway noise, but we couldn't hear much of that at all. Stayed in room 440. The only noise we could hear was kids having fun in the pool. We ordered the pizza from the restaurant and it was excellent! We couldn't finish it, so saved leftovers and had them for breakfast the next morning, so never got to try the continental breakfast. Room was very clean and modern. Bed was very comfortable. I had a great sleep. Staff was friendly as well. Would stay here again if passing through.
I stayed there to attend a conference. The set up is unique with an open dining area and children's pool also on the main floor of the court yard type setting. Rooms are well equipped and clean. I found thee bathroom clean, small tub area though. Staff were very friendly.
Loved my room, so contemporary. Modern washroom with lots of space. Cool front area to charge devices (so many plugs, love the set next to the bed!). Big TV, fridge, microwave and free water (really nice touch). Breakfast is included and it's fantastic! Fresh fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage with oatmeal, fresh diy waffles, yogurt etc.. Really nice look to the lobby and the pool is out in the open in the central area! So interesting, wish I had time to hit the hot tub.
Great hotel. I needed two special adjustments to the normal billing process. I explained the adjustments when I arrived. When I checked out, I saw the adjustments were handled perfectly correctly. The bathroom configuration is a little cramped, but otherwise a large, well set-up room.
Hotel staff is always Amazing the hotel it's self is really nice rooms are big and bed are extremely comfy. Has really good breakfast but restraunt is a little on the expensive side for what you get. Pool and hot tub in the center can get a little noisy at times but not to bad.
Check in was quick and easy, staff friendly and welcoming. Hotel is nicely appointed and very attractive, both in the public area and in the room. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and enjoyed a good night's sleep. We were meeting friends for breakfast so didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but the rest of the stay was excellent.
Hotel is pretty nice. Beds are good, room was clean. If you are a light sleeper, you may not like their courtyard set up. Restaurant is in the middle, could hear clanging dishes from our 3rd floor suite. Staff seem to not have a lot of urgency or overt friendliness at the desk. Had a not great server in the lounge. We booked on hotwire and it was about $60 a night.
What was probably the most delicious free buffet breakfast we've ever had in the morning!! But only second to that was how friendly the staff were. Will definitely stay here if we come back through Calgary again.....also, it has a very convenient, easy access to Hwy 1...less than a block!
This hotel is our favorite. We use it for business and family, but cannot select two options. Love staying here as we feel comfortable and safe. Highly recommend this hotel in Calgary as there are many to chose from.
Great place just minutes from Olympic Park in Western Calgary, right off TransCanada Hwy. Underground parking, nice rooms, and a super breakfast in the morning. While booking the guy on phone checked if I had best Western rewards, and I did but had forgotten, and that knocked almost $20 off room cost and gave us free underground parking... was very handy. Very interesting decor and architecture compared to most Best Westerns. Good bed, and LOVE their breakfasts...
I have stayed at 7 or more Chain Hotels all over USA and Canada. None have been as good of an experience as Best Western, Right from the professional and very friendly front desk staff you meet at check-in to the cleaners you occasionally meet, they all treat you with respect and a friendly smile. Other chains could certainly learn from them. The buildings are all modern (many recently renovated) and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
Great two day stay. Nice bed, the room was clean and set up for a disabled person. We enjoyed the free breakfasts. Lots of variety and well stocked, even with the volume of people going through. The front counter staff were great, and friendly. Really good underground parking and well lit.Very nice sports bar, with TVs and friendly helpful staff. Enjoyed the stay.
We were here from Christmas Day for four nights, braving the frigid Calgary temperatures. Check in was smooth and we joined the BW Club to get free underground parking, which was sorely needed. The room was spacious and sufficiently well lit for my needs. We found the temperature set too high, but that was easily fixed. The room was also very quiet, as the pool was closed from 10 pm to 9 am. Breakfast was very good, with excellent variety of both hot and cold dishes. My only issue was the strong smell of Chlorine from the pool, which I do not like. Fortunately, it did not follow us into the room. A good stay. Since we come to Calgary to visit fanily two or three times a year, we will likely be back.
This hotel has been updated, and is very stylish and contemporary. It is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to Foothills Medical Centre (a cab ride is less than $10). We received a bit of a discount as this hotel graciously offers a reduced rate to people needing to stay in Calgary while being treated at Foothills, so it was definitely good value for our money. On our visit, all the staff we encountered were very pleasant and helpful. They seemed to enjoy what they were doing. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. Offered was a full selection of hot (waffles, bacon, eggs) and cold (cereal, fruit) items, and would easily cost $20 at a restaurant. The only negative is that most of the rooms were adjacent to the atrium, which houses the pool, hot tub, restaurant, and lounge, so noise was bit of an issue, but mostly during the day. We have more overnight trips scheduled and will 100% be staying here again!
Very convenient to C-Train and to amenities required for this area of Calgary. Very close to Foothills Medical Centre. Heated underground parking was so nice during winter months and handy in the summer during hail storms. Very comfortable room and included breakfast was very nice with many choices of hot or cold items. The staff is exceptional and so very helpful.
Very nice staff, clean rooms, great breakfast and room service. Really liked the underground heated parking. -35 degrees while I was there. Close to the Foothills Hospital. My wife was a patient at the hospital which made it very convenient for me to travel to and from the hospital.
Great rooms, work desk, good beds. Overall a great stay. Enjoyed the amenities. Good location. Underground parking. I would recommend. Good price. Now I'm just trying to fill the 200 required characters... lol
We came here for two nights with some friends. The hotel is the perfect size, with restaurant and lounge onsite, and complimentary delicious breakfast. The service staff was great, and the staff overall were friendly. The rooms are well clean and very comfortable, the bed was great and the layout of the room is nice too. The swimming pool is small but, inviting, there is a hot tub as well. The hotel has an underground parking which is nice in winter. Totally recommend to stay in this hotel.
The hotel was great! Nice and clean, the room was really spacious and it looked quite trendy too from their renovations. The lighting was a bit tough cause there was only two ceiling lights which made it a bit dark when entering the room in the evening, but the lit headboard was quite neat and provided quite a bit of light to the room. The restaurant in house was okay, though I probably wouldn't order from there again and just eat out.
I have stayed at this hotel for many reasons, football to family gatherings. I enjoy the location, due to it being closer to the smaller malls and yet close enough to Calgary's other attractions. Very pleasant staff
I was planning to rent a meeting room at this place but because I have to buy food from the hotel , I decided to take my family and eat at the hotel first to see how it is before spending thousands of dollars on food there . The food wasn't good at all , not worth a single penny to spend on food. And on top of that the hotel is priced as the same price as delta , Marriott and Sheraton hotels witch are a way better and higher standard than The best Western. I will recommend to anyone to eat at this hotel : pizza was Suggs and tasteless , sandwich bread tasted old ( not fresh at all ) It tasted like some just put in the microwave for few minutes.
I stayed a week at this location. I had 2 family members in the hospital close by and when my husband was released from the hospital after having spinal surgery staff made sure we were comfortable making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay even to the point of upgrading our room to a suite so my husband had more options for laying and sitting in the room. The staff went over and beyond to keep us happy making a tough time better. The restaurant and lounge also gave us superior service . This hotel I recommend its a great place for family - pool, restaurant, lounge indoor parking everything needed is here and great service. The only issue is they are upgrading an elevator so there was some boise during the day.
This hotel has undergone major renovations recently and the result has been a very modern and upscale facility. Rooms are clean and spacious and since it is just off the Trans Canada it's location is great for any functions in the north part of Calgary. The price for a room was very reasonable and in my opinion was great value for the money spent.
Clean and comfortable, well run, helpful staff, good breakfast included (hot), Room was excellent with a fridge, microwave, new bath, large TV, good office area. I would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to others.
Not at the most beautiful location, however, it was close to the train station and it was an easy commute to downtown. Breakfast was OK, I wished they more breakfast meat selection for those who do not eat pork. The room was very clean, they did a great with renovation from a motel to a hotel. From outside it does look like a motel, but the inside is very nice.
This hotel has a unique design, great location to suit a variety of reasons to stay, close to the stadium, c train , easy to get to ,has swimming pool and free breakfast ,as well as nice rooms and pleasant staff. This was our second stay here and I would definitely return.
Overall a very nice property with very friendly staff and clean rooms. Plus we got a very good deal so valuate wise it was exceptional. However kids were running in the hallway and the desk was informed of this a couple of times and didn't appear to do anything. Kids were screaming in the pool till after 1030 at night and then again at 8:30 in the morning. There was no manager on duty and they were unable to give me any kind of a refund or deal with the issue for that reason I can't recommend this property. We called the desk several times in the morning we were informed that no one complained last night about the noise. Incorrect.
A quick overnight trip made better by great value, friendly staff, excellent breakfast and convenient location. Clean and quiet and well decorated with good amenities on site. A great choice near university with great access to city centre.
Very clean Hotel, with friendly, knowledgeable Staff. Handy to all aspects of Calgary. Great Indoor parking. Clean, decent size, well appointed Rooms. Very quiet facility. Excellent Breakfast included with Room. Excellent quantity of Food to choose from./ Excellent Fruit selection.
my wife and i stayed at this hotel because it was close to medical facility where i had an early morning appointment we requested an early check-in so i could rest and recuperate afterwards the desk staff said they were completely booked ith night before but managed to have a room prepared for us with little delay that was good service
Whenever I need to come to Calgary for a short business trip, the Best Western Village Park Inn provides a convenient location with great rates, clean rooms, and excellent service! Highly recommended!
Quality of food served in the lounge was very poor. Food was so bad we left the hotel for 2 of our 3 nights and dined in nearby restaurants. Bathroom was ridiculously small at an estimated total area of approximately 40-45 square feet. Bathroom is only usable by one person at a time based on usable floor space of approximately 10 sq ft. "Upgraded" bathroom fittings in the shower stall are cheap (used), installed poorly and may not meet the commercial building code for installation. A professional inspection of the piping, fittings, installation, etc. is recommended to ensure compliance with proper codes. Vinyl flooring in the entire hotel room amplifies noise rather than (the replaced) sound deadening carpeting. The room is very "spartan" with no decorations or pictures hung in the room. The very small closet did not have a door, just a curtain hung over the opening. The room had a single vinyl covered chair with no foot rest, table, etc. despite there being ample room for additional furniture. There was a small table and an armless office chair but no additional seating other than the single vinyl unit.
A beautiful hotel. great price and value. free hot and cold breakfast and coffee all day. helpful staff and courteous. great pool and hot tub for kids. also the pool was open to the hotel rooms, courtroom style so not hot for the parents watching. very nice place. if you have an early day, the pool is open till 10 so it can get quite loud, but we loved it there.
I stayed here while my husband had open heart surgery at Foothills. The front desk staff were amazing, very thoughtful, always asking how my stay was and if they could do anything for me. Housekeeping went above and beyond even when I indicated that they didn't have to make up my room they made sure the coffee was replenished. The (included) breakfast was freshly supplied, the wait staff was always there when needed. Now to the parents of the young girls there for hockey tournaments: There were many athletes in the hotel from around the world for World Cup speed skating, from Japan, the Netherlands, Korea, the USA. They were quiet and respectful of the other guests in the hotel and behaved as world class athletes.The girls hockey teams from Canada, not so much. I had hoped to relax in the hot tub before going to bed. The screaming girls, playing Marco Polo in the pool did not help me feel relaxed. The races using the elevators from the basement to the fifth floor caused me some consternation when I was trying to go the hospital to see my husband in ICU, it caused me some stress when your girls had pushed every button so that the elevator stopped at every floor. I could have phoned down to the desk to complain about the noise and the elevators being used to delay egress, but it is not up to the hotel staff to police the children, it is up to you, as parents, to instil some respect about behaviour in a hotel. Teach your children well and people will respect them.
Atrium outside all rooms is very echo-y and the pool outside of the rooms makes it very noisy. Breakfast food quality was very poor. I don't think the eggs were real and the juice was some watered down syrup product.
I usually stay at the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn in Calgary when I am in on business. I find it provides me with everything I need. It is a location and provides me with everything I need. I find the staff very friendly and engaging. What more do I need.
Excellent location to Winnsport and The Edge. Plenty of restaurants and shopping in surrounding area. Hotel staff is very understanding of hockey teams needs, accommodating food requests, late checkouts and general requests.
Great hotel with easy access to Calgary attractions. The hotel room seemed newly renovated which added to the overall comfort. The staff were excellent. The only minor issue is in the interior styling with an open concept. The noise from the pool seemed to carry and amplify. This was mitigated with the 22:00 curfew. The included breakfast was fantastic (good to have multiple waffle irons going) and the selections were excellent for all variety of tastes. If I had to go back to Calgary for work or pleasure, this hotel would be one of my top choices.
Fantastic service. Friendly welcoming staff, especially Emad, the manager, who is just great! Completely renovated hotel. We keep returning at every chance! You won't be disappointed. Great restaurant and sports bar. You wont be disappointed.
Although the top of our blanket was a bit dirty, the hotel staff immediately changed it out and was apologetic. We were treated very well all weekend. We had a large group booking in the restaurant and everything was quick and accurate. I was impressed with our stay as a whole. I would go back again
Stayed a week in this hotel. Staff were friendly and outgoing! No problems except for hot water issues in the shower. I reported it to the desk, and the next day have very hot water. Would recommend this hotel, easy access to University events, the Stadium and malls. Stores and restaurants close enough to walk to from hotel. Will definitely stay there again!
We stayed here for a hockey tournament. Very clean, beds were super comfy. Breakfast was good. But, with the open concept of the hotel it was very noisy. Frustrating when you have a early morning game to get too. Would stay again but not if I was counting on a quiet place.
Have stayed here in past prior to upgrades. Will stay here again if I go to YCG on business. Every employee was friendly, courteous and professional from front desk, to restaurant, to lounge employees.
My family and I were very impressed with our stay at the Best Western. We were happy to learn that our membership included free underground heated parking as we arrived in blustery -18 Celsius weather. The room had been renovated about 2 years earlier, and whoever did the renovations thought about the details. For example my wife was happy to note that the light switch itself stayed lit after we turned off all the lights so we could easily find it when we came into the room. I was happy to finally stay in a hotel that had enough electrical plugs for all the electronics we bring on our trips. The colours and Art throughout the hotel were tastefully done. The pool and hot tub were a treat for our kids and the Included breakfast was amazing! We had options for all of us, including my wife and son who are vegetarian. This alone made staying there very affordable. The hotel dinners were also reasonable and never too busy to get in. The hotel itself was near everywhere we wanted to go, including the University and SAIT and Mount Royal. Although it can be tricky to get to the hotel sometimes, Once we knew what we were looking for, it was not an issue. Happy to stay here again. Staff were very helpful.
Although the hotel offers great options such as a free hot breakfast buffet and free underground parking, the courtyard is very noisy and depending on where you are located in the hotel and who is staying there, the open swimming pool can be a source of great noise into late at night.
Relaxing and high quality hotel stay for the entire family. Kids to seniors had a great stay. Decor and comfort made the stay peaceful and by far the best hotel breakfast. Easy access to Foothills Hospital, City Center and Trans Canada. Exceptional stay for the price point.
The hotel is a wide open concept with the pool and lounge and banquet halls in the centre of the building. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful stay, DO NOT BOOK HERE!! On the Saturday night of our stay, a dance party was booked in one of the halls and we were blessed to listen to thumping music all night. Of course, complaints fell on deaf ears and conveniently there was no manager on duty all night. Poor management, over priced, garbage hotel. I will never stay here again.
Excellent staff & the Breakfast was extremely good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Good location and easy to work with the staff when it comes to have any type of special needs. They are very accommodating.
Newly renovated, this hotel really caters to the guest. Clean with an excellent restaurant and bar right in the hotel. I did not use the gym or pool but given the rest of the hotel, I'm sure they would match for cleanliness. It also has a little tuck shop off the front desk that carries any incidentals that might have been forgotten at home or that you need to replace (toothpaste, razors, hairspray etc. It's open 24/7.
Came up to Calgary for a Dr appt and the weather forced us to stay over night. I did not need to prebook. I just walked in to the Best Western Village Park inn. The staff are always warm and friendly.
This hotel if great! It is clean and the staff are very friendly and very helpful! We stay here every time we come to Calgary. The free breakfast is amazing and the rooms are very clean. We recommend this hotel to all of our friendly traveling to Alberta
There was about 300 people coming for a 30 year reunion. I know not everyone stayed there, but the check in and check out was very streamlined and organized. Was pleasantly surprised at the upgrades to the rooms. The rooms were spacious, clean and up to date. All staff was friendly and helpful that I spoke with. A little disappointed in the breakfast bar. No bacon, small glasses and a bit of a wait for them to top up empty items. Would not be the deal breaker though. Will stay there again if ever back in Calgary.
Happy 5 star stay! Excellent service! Great sleep! Beds are wonderful! People are great! Easy location to anywhere in Calgary! Breakfast is always great! Lots to choose from. Swimming pool plus hot tub. A lounge and dinning room if you want to eat in. As I said great place to stay!
Great hotel, as all Best Westerns are. But this one tops the list. Hotel staff where extremely courteous, and they had better variety at breakfast than any other Best Western I've been to. The Pool is very cool, and free underground parking was fantastic.
This hotel provides a quiet, comfortable relaxing stay for anyone, and is especially comfortable to those needing to be near the Foothills Hospital. There is a special rate for guests needing a stay near the hospital. I imagine this would be a great place for everyone needing accommodations near the University
Excellent place. Completely remodeled. Friendly staff. Very comfortable rooms. Continental breakfast is 1st class and fresh with hot buffet. Lounge and restaurant is welcoming with excellent food. Highly recommend.
Very unique hotel with a great retro feel. Staff, rooms and amenities all excellent. Access to hotel is a little difficult and tricky at first and lived the fact we had free underground parking. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends, family and groups to hold their functions. Thanks for your hospitality.
First, the people: Michael and Lovelein on check in/out. High-end professional. Thank you. Milena and Stephen in the breakfast room: so well managed and clean. Nothing spectacular about the food, but this is a vote for them (and another man, I didn't get his name). Big and spacious. A great place to start the day. The facility is tremendous. Will stay there next time if we can't find something cheaper. Kind of expensive: $157 with taxes per night for a couple. Quite the experience. A negative: this place allows smokers (a.k.a. losers) to do their pollution right outside the front door. So you have to walk through a cloud of someone's else's stupid poison to get in and out. That stinks in more way than one. Will influence our decision to return.
The hotel design is very cool. The room was comfortable. Staff was friendly and professional. The food was good but a little expensive. It being right across the street from McMahon Stadium is perfect. Easy walk across the pedestrian bridge and you're there.
Super bed, awesome breakfast and great bar. Easy walking distance to McMahon Stadium too. Well stocked with bathroom amenities. Overall great experience from pool to check in to check out. Good restaurants nearby too.
clean and welcoming - the hot tub and pool were refreshing the staff was helpful and pleasant - the shower didn't have a long enough curtain but our room was changed without concern I would stay again
this is supposed to be a really good hotel, and we have stayed there many times over the years. Now they are cheaping out most things. The shampoo and soaps are in dispensers on the wall, and poor quality, the breakfast was subpar. The check out they got our bill incorrect after we tried to correct it on check in. the staff was okay. The dinner in their restaurant was lacking.
We planned a Thanksgiving Family gathering in Calgary. The hotel was exceptional. Super clean rooms, cozy, comfy beds and lots of pillows. The breakfast choices were amazing! Staff were courteous an helpful. The pool and hot tub were super clean. Free underground parking. The only negative was the noise in the morning with the pool being in the courtyard....but it was just kids having fun. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will stay here again.
We stayed in two rooms that looked promising from an accessible perspective. WRONG! It was impossible to get a walker into the bathrooms never mind a wheelchair. I expected better from an international chain.
We were there from Sept 28th till Oct 2nd, for our goddaughter's wedding, we flew in from Toronto. We had made reservations ahead of time, in a block for the wedding guests, the check in and check out, went smoothly. We had three nights at the wedding rate, and another night afterward, had to have new keys for fourth night. The breakfast was included, good variety, from cold and hot cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, make your own waffles, etc open from 6:30-10.00 AM. Coffee maker in room, they had coffee in the lobby in the morning, lovely to sit with it, in front of fireplace. Ample and good quality amenities in the room, bed comfortable, desk, chair, coffee table, sofa in room, used the safe. The desk staff, Joseph being one, and sorry can't remember the ladies name or the gentleman that checked us on Monday, all very helpful and friendly. Socrates in the bar lounge, was great, especially if there was a large group of us, and many different selections. Our only suggestion would be a double sided mirror in the bathroom for men shaving and women doing their makeup, and brighter lighting in the main area. We enjoyed our stay and would return if ever back to Calgary!
I went to the hotel just for one night, and during this day the attention was excellent. The room was comfortable, the temperature was fantastic. The service at the front desk was fantastic. They always tried to help. About the restaurant, the dinner was fantastic, exactly how I asked. And the breakfast was very good. The only thing was, in my opinion, they will need to provide a little more orientation to the guest, indicating how the breakfast distribution is, especially if you visit the hotel for the first time.
My wife and I traveled up from Colorado specifically to see Banff N.P. and we stayed here at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, the room (2 queen beds) was very reasonably priced, absolutely incredible, spacious, and had a view of downtown Calgary. The breakfast every morning was one of the best we've every had with plenty of choices to choose from. The location was incredible with access to Calgary 1 which we drove daily to the park for a week, and to the local grocery stores. We will definitely stay here again when we go back!
This Best Western is great. The staff were very friendly. In fact when going for dinner, the hostess in the restaurant acknowledged us as having been there before and welcomed us. The hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable to sleep on. Breakfast was well laid out and good variety to choose from. No Complaints..
We stayed 4 nights at Best Western Village Park Inn, when we were in town for our daughter's wedding. We found the hotel, clean, comfortable, and easy to access. Our biggest issue was the door that lead to the outside hall. The wind howled through it. Had the weather not turned so cold we'd not have noticed. All rooms are centred on the inside area, and sound travels. Even though we were on the top floor, every morning I was awakened by a young child crying in the breakfast area. I did not complain, as it was 7:30, but beware that every noise seemed to travel up. .
I really like this hotel. The rooms are great and the beds are the best!. Best Night's sleep in a hotel in a long time. The staff are terrific. Friendly, accommodating., I was there for a conference and everything was well done.
Very good hotel. Pleasant staff and the breakfast served is the best we have experienced in a hotel It is very convenient with an ideal location. Staff members make every effort to full fill requests and show patience in doing so. Would appreciate though if morning newspapers were more available. All n' all....this is our hotel when we are in Calgary
Our room was comfortable with newer furniture including a very comfortable bed. Although this was an older hotel, their interior remodel is very nice and everything was nicer than I expected. Breakfast was good, not great (odd sausage served), and although it was provided within their spacious restaurant, the waffles were still offered via the annoying make-it-yourself system. I would stay here again.
Hotel right across the street from the Football stadium! Made it super easy to get to and from. Even though our team lost! Best Western Plus Village Park Inn is a very nice hotel will stay there again!
Stayed for 2 nights for a work conference that was being hosted here and it was very acceptable, especially taking into account the prices of hotels in Calgary. I got a double queen room on the 4th floor. There are 5 floors in the building overlooking the pool, restaurant and bar in the centre. The room was large and clean. The air conditioning was not too loud but consistently colder than what the thermostat said it was. The only complaint I have is there is a door in the room that leads to a back corridor. It is locked but the window also overlooks the back corridor. There were sheer curtain over the window but the side curtains would not close nor were there top or side blinds/curtains that I could pull down (and I definitely looked everywhere). So that meant anyone could look into the room and watch what was going on. Which was creepy when you're sleeping or changing. Otherwise, parking above ground is free while parking underground is $10 per night. Breakfast was included in the room price and it was very decent - both hot and continental.
Be aware you will be charged a Destination Marketing Fee without being informed about it. Beds were uncomfortable, rooms have very poor lighting as does the breakfast area. Close to McMann stadium and Foothills Hospital.
This is a great place to stay, from the first minute we walked in the staff were terrific from the front desk to the cleaners everyone was friendly, the complimentary breakfast was really good and having a restaurant on site made it easy for a night time meal, the menu was good and the prices were reasonable, the underground carpark was easy to park in.
My first visit to the Village Park Inn, stayed 4 nights and was very impressed with the hotel, staff and pretty much everything. The complimentary breakfast is on of the best I have experienced in any "breakfast included" establishment....Real food. Rooms are large and very clean, staff are all helpful and nothing seems to be a problem. BW members get secure underground parking. Rates are very competitive and would recommend to anyone and will stay on the next trip to Calgary.
This hotel is great. We have stayed there 3 times in the past 6 months as we were in Calgary for a series of medical procedures. The location is close to Foothills Hospital, Alberta Children's Hospital and The Fertility Clinic. It is across the street from the Stadium too. The staff are really friendly, the breakfast is great and the bar and restaurant are really good. I would stay again, for sure. I would recommend calling the hotel to make reservations as I found that I saved a ton of money from the first time I booked on-line through a travel website. Almost cut it in half. And the beds are so comfortable!
This was a comfortable place to stay. Convenient to the football stadium, not a bad cab ride to downtown. Compared to the other hotels around it, it seemed more expensive but I didn't stay at the others either as they were full.
Hotel renovation is nicely done. We really appreciate it. Great location for visiting University of Calgary, of which I am an alumni. It was fun hearing the announcer at the stadium. Go Dino's!!!!!!!!!!!
such a great location. good restaurant on premises where they serve complimentary breakfast with all the trimmings. rooms are newy renovated. We stay on the first floor so as close access to the restaurant and elevator to underground parking which is also complimentary. Staff so friendy and helpful.. Lots of people stay here when needing to be at the Foothills hospital. LRT a block away to be downtown in minutes.
staff is always awesome,since the reno, rooms are great breakfast always good, have"t stay there for awhile, and some of the staff remember me.what more can I say, great place to stay.running out of words, but I will say the beds were clean, washroom were clean.and it was close to the hospital for us.
Very clean and comfortable room. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Pool was small but clean. Food in restaurant good and wait staff friendly Would recommend this hotel for the price and location.
This is one of the better BW+ hotels we've stayed at. Located close to Rt. 1. The accommodations are modern and stylish, the indoor pool is well maintained, the beds are very comfortable, underground parking provides security, and the restaurant in the hotel offers very good meals. Definitely worth a stay.
Comfortable and clean, suite was equipped with Jacuzzi tub. The bar/restaurant had really good food and fun and friendly service. The chlorine smell from the pool was so strong we elected not to eat there again. Staff was very professional. I thought $450 a night was a little pricey, even though the room was lovely.
This was our first time in Calgary, hotel was beautiful pool was great! Small amount of noise from pool, but it was quiet by quiet time so no complaints from us! Great to hear people having fun! Breakfast was amazing and included in your stay. Room was clean, hotel in a whole was very clean from what I could see. Reception was very accommodating and professional. We enjoyed our 3 night stay.
The staff are always great and it is good value for the money. The breakfast is excellent in both quality and selection. The location is excellent for events in the city or just stopping over. I highly recommend it.
This was an excellent place to stay when we had a family member in Foothills Hospital. The location was so convenient and we were able to walk to the hospital some days. Staff were very professional, polite, and helpful.
Loved the updated rooms. The bed and pillows were amazing. Super clean, comfortable and well maintained. Great breakfast selection. Friendly staff. The outside of the building is quite dated but the did a beautiful job inside. My only "issue" was the pool. He only issue having it located where it was is that it didn't have any showers or bathrooms so you would have to come dripping wet from your room to the pool (if you rinse off first and most had not) and then run to your room if you needed to go to the washroom. Other then that querk everything was great!! Thanks!!!!!
The staff and management are to be complimented on completely understanding the concept of customer service. They all made us feel like home. Food was amazing for breakfast and restaurant. Underground parking wasn't an extra fee. I will definately be staying there again in my next visit to Calgary.
This hotel has a very good location and has wonderful amenities for the family. Hotel is clean, has fast internet service and is in close proximity to downtown area. I would highly recommend this branch.
First of all--this hotel is very over-priced for what you get. The housekeeping wasn't on the ball. I requested "late morning" room cleaning service on the card and both days I had to go and find the person that was supposed to do our room---- in the afternoon.---YES, the tag was on the door with the instructions and preferred time.--- The second morning there were no amenities left in the bathroom and I requested a couple of extra regular coffee and all she left was decaf. I had to go and find someone to get these things. I didn't eat the "free" breakfast the first morning but my wife tried it and the "breakfast bar" food was cold and also, I don't eat at ANY buffet where kids are allowed to dig into the food with their fingers. We ordered breakfast from the menu the second morning and didn't get what we ordered, after waiting about a half an hour, and they had the nerve to charge us $7,00 for 2 VERY SMALL (4oz) glasses of juice. We ate breakfast at "Denny's" down the street the next morning. Dinner the first night was also NOT impressive and WAY WAY over priced for what you got. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was cooked ok but tough and cold. The veggies were almost raw and cold. My wife's chicken was barley warm also and tasteless. I discussed this with the waitress and she said--"Oh, I'm very sorry" and then she left. The bill was over $80.00 which was WAY more than the meal was worth. The lounge needs a good cleaning also. There was dust so thick on the ledge beside our table that you could see were some had been brushed off. I also showed this to the waitress and she laughed and said "I KNOW" The ONLY good thing about our stay was, the room was clean and quiet and the check in and check out staff were great. We will NEVER be back here again and WOULD NOT recommend this place to anyone
Staff was unfriendly and unwilling to be helpful. Breakfast was a frustrating experience with slow line ups, late check out was inconvenient. Hotel atmosphere was nice, price was very good. All of the disappointments could have been erased by there being friendly staff.
Never been to this one before - we usually stay at the Premiere one on the North side of Calgary. However this one gives it a run for the money. Great rooms, a very nice pool area, SUPERB breakfast bar and nice and quiet. Easy to find too - although can be tough to get to if you are not reading your map properly! We ate in the restaurant the night we got there - not something we normally do but the prices weren't bad and the food was really good. WE WILL come back here again!
Clean, comfy beds, good food in the restaurant and lounge, good variety with the included breakfast, and helpful staff. I always stay here when I am in town unless they are full. Some thought has been put into the breakfast layout since I was last there, alleviating some of the log jams. Over the years I have also noticed that they are now catering to those with dietary restrictions such as lactose intolerance (almond milk readily available) and gluten sensitivity (rice cereal, etc).
Close to U of Calgary (where i had a conference to attend) and to CTrain station to go to Downtown. Staff are very friendly and professional. Great breakfast. Thank you, Mr. Khalila, Mr. de la Cruz, and restaurant server Steve. You all made our stay so enjoyable!!
The staff were very nice and polite. The breakfast was perfect and delicious. Mesmerzing environment. I will never forget their hospitality and recommed to all turrists going to this wonderful hotel. It feels quite like home and all of this for a reasonable price.
Stayed here on our motorcycle trip through western Canada. We stayed at BW's most of the time and this was by far the best one. Great architecture, great room and the best breakfast. The only issue I had was it's a little hard to find. The GPS was not helpful either.
We always stay at this hotel when in Calgary. It is consistent in the excellent level of service. A bonus: All staff members are friendly and make us feel right at home. The breakfast buffet is a highlight...something for everyone!
Stayed at the hotel to go to a concert. Room was clean and hotel was clean. Giving 4 stars because room service food wasn't the best was very over priced we could have gone to McDonalds for a quarter of the price and it would have been better.
This hotel is the nicest hotel we've stayed at in Canada. The open atrium with the pool in the middle and the rooms around it is just lovely. Makes you feel like you are staying in a tropical resort. The complementary breakfast was like eating at the fancy buffet. There was eggs, bacon hashbrowns, toast, waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal. Not your typical continental breakfast. We will definitely stay there again on future trips to Calgary.
great West end location. nicely renovated hotel, I stayed here as a teenager 38 or so years ago. Free breakfast was a nice change from the usual, was quite simple but beside the scrambled eggs they had shredded cheese, tomatoes, peppers and salsa to add to eggs to liven them up.
The best western is a modern hotel. Everything is clean, the service is good and the rooms are comfortable. Breakfast is included and very good too. The room prices are fair. The only reason why not five stars is, that the hotel is not very central - you need round about 15 minutes into downtown by car.
Hotel was clean, modern and affordable. Bed was comfortable, room was quiet and breakfast was plentiful. We experienced no problems whatsoever and were very impressed with our stay. Highly recommend to others. Only downfall is rooms hold maximum of 4 people.
Stayed in many times over the past 15 years (yes 15!) and it continues to impress. We stay at hotels with free breakfast all the time and this one is by far the best simply because of real eggs. Great gym, always clean.
Haven't stayed there fir many years. Was quite impressed with the new renovations and the rooms were nice!! Breakfast was very good with many selections. Overall a great hotel fir the price and location!
Very nice place to stay. Nice updates, great breakfast, and very clean. All the staff were great! FYI ...The underground parking can only accommodate vehicles under six feet high, vehicle taller than that have to park around the peripheral of the hotel. The pool noises carry throughout the hotel, as all room doors open to the courtyard where the pool is.
Really enjoy the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn in Calgary. I have stayed here many times and am never disappointed.Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are well decorated and awesome beds. The free breakfast provided rivals any restaurant for good breakfast food. Nice pool and Jacuzzi as well the fitness room is well appointed. Will come back again and again.
This was one of the best hotels i have stayed in over the years. Very clean, staff excellent ,parking was great,food great. Best location for Stadium and to get around. Has a great open area in the middle of hotel and looks great. pool looks great.
Older hotel, but well maintained, rooms are a good size, nice beds, bathrooms a bit small, great breakfast included. not your usual budget breakfast. WiFi was good. nie banquet rooms and Gym. Swimming pool looked good - I didn't go but kids in our group did
Excellent price, excellent service, underground parking, perfect location for us. We were dealing with an issue with bikes when we thought the truck might be too tall (it wasn't) and the staff were very helpful.
Excellent breakfasts. General Manager was most helpful. He supplied a wheelchair that he actually pushed it for us to the C train in Calgary so he could return it to the hotel as we got on the train . WE would be so happy to stay there again and we appreciate all he did to help us.
Our first stay overall was disappointing. Not sure I would stay here again. Started out on the wrong foot when we went to check in at 3:25 after being told our room would be ready at 3:00 and it still wasn't. Front desk had to change us to a different room. Lobby and restaurant are clean and modern but that's where it stops. Rooms are somewhat renovated but still have old carpet which is disgusting. Smells of mold, mildew and fluids. Keep your socks on. Bathroom door had a hole in it, exhaust vent was hanging off the ceiling and there were spit marks on the nightstand and headboard. Housekeeping didn't change our sheets once in a whole week and didn't clean the room very well. We needed a cot for our first night (Sunday) since a friend that was travelling to Calgary with us couldn't be picked up by her aunt due to car trouble. We called down to the front desk and were given the run around since housekeeping was gone for the day and they usually deal with that. We finally got the cot. On Monday we called the front desk to say we were done with the cot but no one picked it up and we were charged the entire week for it. Wifi was decent when you were connected. You would have to constantly redo the connection and accept the terms and conditions several times a day. On the plus side, the breakfast was great. Many hot choices and variety. Underground parking was nice and convenient. Beds and pillows were comfortable.
The receptionists at the front desk are so helpful and enthusiastic. They met every request I made, so my son with asthma was in a great condition during the 2-day stay in this hotel. Besides, the location is also excellent. With only 5 minute walk to the city train station, it's really convenient for us to reach any place we want.
The complimentary breakfast was excellent, but the room had a very strange odor upon our arrival. A problem with a key, plus small portions and poor quality food at dinner, and then a language barrier with the server, made our stay a one-and-only time at this hotel for us.
nice hotel, good location, most of the staff doesn't speak english so hard to order food, check in and out ect. heard the front counter checkin desk get mad at a customer because the customer told the clerk he couldn't understand him and the clerk got angry and said his english was perfect. i couldn't underastand him either.
This was our first time visiting Calgary and this hotel was easy to get to and less then 5 minute walk to the c train which was very user friendly..Hotel is very clean, awesome breakfast with lost of selection. Under ground parking was also a great feature.. Staff were all very helpful..
Good location to access downtown with use of light rapid transit train. Rooms clean and up to date. Decent restaurant on-site. Secure underground parking at no additional cost. Lots of good reasons to stay here.
This hotel has fantastic staff who make you feel at home. I really appreciated how kind and helpful they all were, and this was during Stampede Week. Everyone we encountered was helpful, kind and very respectful. It's a place I would stay at again.
We enjoyed several nights here while touring in the area and driving primarily north to Banff and national parks. The complementary breakfast was the best I've ever seen with many options well presented. The beds were incredible and the room was very nice. The pool and hot tub were always clean/tidy and well stocked with towels. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.
Always impressed with room and service. Checking in and out is always easy and fast. The service in the restaurant was excellent however the food was cold. The staff passed along our concerns to the chef who in turn corrected the problem.
Stayed here four times this spring/summer. My son does athletics and it is right across from the field. Also, not far from the Olympic grounds. Rooms are always clean. Plenty of space for a couple or a family. Buffet breakfast is excellent with plenty of hot and cold choices. The center of the hotel is an open atrium with a pool on one end, lounge in middle and restaurant at other end. If air conditioning not set to keep it can sometimes feel like you are breathing chlorine and it can get overwhelming. Front desk kind act kind of snooty when you ask a question but they do answer whatever you ask for to the best of their ability. Prices can vary week to week so always check when you book. The can differ a fair amount one week to the next . Love the underground parking though I do believe that is only open to Diamond Plus members. Keeps the car cool and safe and always lots of parking down there.
Stayed here for 3 nights with my family including young kids. Rooms were large and beds were comfy. Breakfast is amazing and has a lot of variety. Pool is indoor but not heated. Check in was quick and so was check out. Located about 7mins walk to Banff Trail LRT station. Front desk is helpful with directions and ideas on how to plan your day. Would definitely stay here again.
Loved the courtyard set up of the hotel! All the rooms overlook the main floor where the pool, hot tub and restaurant are! The rooms are clean and very comfortable. There are restaurants within walking distance! The staff were very nice and helpful! Would definately recommend this hotel!
The cleanliness, staff, breakfast and overall hotel was awesome! I would recommend to anyone! Check out the packages they offer for the Calgary Zoo and Calaway Park, MUCH worth it! We will definitely be back!
Staff seemed not to car about our concerns / dislikes . They made us feel like our concerns did not matter . We also felt the room for what we paid was not worth it. We have stayed in Best Westerns in other locations and the desk staff and rooms were fantastic
The purpose for our three-night stay was to be in close proximity to the Foothills Hospital where my wife was a patient for two days. We have not stayed at this hotel for many years, but made the decision to book here because of the "hospital rate" offered to us. The hotel was completely renovated a year ago, and it is lovely. It has a very modern feel and the cleanliness factor is outstanding. The staff was friendly, caring and courteous and did their best to make our stay pleasant. We enjoyed two light suppers in the lounge and the complimentary breakfasts were beautifully presented with the trays well-stocked with fresh food. It was a nice surprise to have the Manager meeting and greeting the hotel guests during the breakfast hours. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the lighting adequate and the TV great! The bathroom was a little on the small scale, but it had been upgraded and boasted a modern vanity and sink with beautiful white linens. We will definitely make a return visit.
We had an opportunity to stay at this hotel on a medical visit to Foothils Hosp. This hotel offers an medical visit discount, a great continental breakfast, room was very comfortable and very clean as well was the lobby, restaurant, bar and washroom, we did not visit the pool area but looks inviting. All the staff was very friendly and helpfull. A very nice place too stay, we have no problem recommending this hotel.
Stayed here recently with our family (including two young kids). We were really impressed - the rooms are well-decorated and clean, the included breakfast was really good (with good selection and quality, and some health options), the on-site parking underground was really nice to have as well. The pool was fun but the drawback here was that it was so cold when you stepped out because it's in the centre (courtyard) area of the hotel. Not a deal breaker, but good to know. Overall, we had a great stay!
The hotel has been remodelled and furnished very nice. The hotel has a complete offering to meet your expectations. Convenience items are extremely overpriced but proximity to other shopping is available.
Overall, one of the best experiences I've had at a BW. I not only stayed here, but ran an evening event in one of their conference rooms. Great help from the staff, great rooms, breakfast was very good. It looks to be updated recently, done very well. The only downfall would be the parking.
Never had bad service here. We stay for mostly medical reasons and rverything meets our needs. The beds are awesome. The food manager always remembers us at breakfast and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome.
We enjoyed our stay here. Great staff. Enjoyed resteraunt and pool as well. Clean and comfortable. Modern rooms. And the underground parking was a plus. The decor inside is great. Totally inpressed. Also has a fantastic breakfast.
Booked a room with two queen beds for my daughters convocation ceremony at the U. of Calgary which was on a Friday. Had booked the from from Thursday to Sunday morning. Arrived Thursday night at around 8:30. The room was very clean and well appointed. It had been updated to include USB plugs in some wall switches and by some lamps allowing for multiple smart devices to be charged. There was a small fridge and microwave that allowed us to put our water bottles in and to warm up any snacks/food that we wanted. The TV had a great selection of regular and specialty channels. It is a great location near the university for when we were dropping our daughter off in September or picking her up in May. Our linings were always fresh and clean upon our return to the room. And our towels were fresh and clean as well. The only issue that was encountered was that of the available counter space for two women to do their makeup and hair. The bathroom was only large enough for one person to be in it at a time. The small alcove right out side had a nice big mirror, but the overhead light was not bright enough. It was only an irritant due to the early start time for the convocation when both were trying to get ready at the same time. We've stayed here a few times before, and the bathroom issue had never surfaced before when there were only two of us in the room. The complimentary breakfast in the morning offered a good selection of both hot food, baked goods, fruits and beverages (coffee, tea,milk & juices). For the amenities that are offered, this has always been a great value for us.
......an ideal place to bunk down for a couple of nights......great hospitality, generosity, and opportunity........always when in Calgary.......the atrium is magnificent and magical to match the mountains to the west.......
We stayed at this hotel while making a weekend trip to the zoo. The service was excellent and quick. The rooms are big and clean. The complimentary breakfast was one of the best I had ever had. The pool is in a good location.
We really enjoyed the excellent service from the staff and the high quality of the guest room and appearance of the hotel. Wonderful lodging for a reasonable price. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Overall, the facility is excellent. Super Clean, Awesome staff. Breakfast is excellent. Was with my family and we all enjoyed our stay. The staff really understands what customer service is all about. Kudos to the Management and staff, they really get it.
It was nice and cozy stay..and it's nice to see the staff again,very accommodating and helpful. Thank you for the comfortable stay, Than you to Joseph and Linda and all the staff of best western village park inn calgary, hope to see you again guys!!!
I loved my stay, staff we very helpful and paid attention which showed that they cared. The location is close to the CTrain which is very convenient. They don't have a shuttle service to the airport, they add it I think this will attract more people.
Stayed for a week-long conference at this nice hotel. Don't let the surrounding area or exterior of this hotel turn you away. The conference service for technology and food was outstanding. Because of the pool being located central to all the rooms, it can be loud during peak hours. Rooms clean and comfortable. This hotel is a 5 minute walk to Calgary's light rail system, and a 10 minute walk to grocery, restaurants and shopping mall. Breakfast had full complement of food and beverage, and does not seem to be easily overwhelmed with hungry guests.
We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. Staff was awesome. Beds are awesome. Breakfast is really awesome! Hotel was very safe and secure. Underground parking is a bonus. Everything is made easy and accessible.
comfortable stay, well organised, excellent food., did not have a chance to visit the pool. BEDS ARE COMFORTABLE , The window view is obscured, but overall very good stay for the price paid. I highly recommend it ,
Great place to stay in Calgary. The service was fantastic The pool was a great temperature, the facility was very clean , couldn't have asked for a better spot and the wine and appy hour on Tuesday evening was a special surprise
Our Ontario team had a gymnastics competition at the university which was a short walk / shuttle from this hotel. The hotel itself was recently renovated. Beautiful open concept which could be loud at times but the team didn't care!! Great location near the train , and a small strip mall for food / convenience shopping. Would book here again.
This stay was for my nephews recovery from surgery, the room was clean, the breakfast was great, and the staff (especially Linda) was incredibly helpful, close to the children's hospital and some shopping. I will stay at this hotel again.
Lovely clean spacious room. In house bar and restaurant were a plus for weary travellers. Good size pool and hot tub both being the right temperatures. The breakfast was good with a variety of items including fresh fruit. The ladies working the area were always cheerful which can't help but bring a smile and a positive response in return. The front desk personnel were helpful in finding us another hotel when we found that we needed to extend our stay.
Stayed at this hotel again for hockey tournament. Perfect location for this type of event. Rooms are stylish. Clean. Excellent free breakfast. Open concept of hotel makes it nice for team mates to socialize and find each other. Other than breakfast, restaurant options are grim. Happy with hotel and service.
Stayed here twice now for sports tournaments and would highly recommend it! Rooms are clean, hot breakfast buffet is great and staff is very accommodating! We stayed for a week each time and had no problems at all.
Very comfortable clean and easily accessible hotel, close to public transit. Impressed by lodgings and hard-working staff. Parking was also easy. Breakfast buffet was great fun and nicely laid out. Much appreciated the salsas and green onions for the eggs as well as the varieties of yogurts and options.
We stayed here for 6 nights for volleyball nationals. Staff were fantastic, very helpful and understanding of team needs and unlike many hotels actually seemed to enjoy having teams there. Location is about a 10 min walk to Univ of Calgary and right across the street from McMahon Stadium. Tons of restaurants nearby that everyone could walk to. Fantastic breakfast buffet. I highly recommend it.
We stayed at this hotel due to its close proximity to the hospitals during my daughters surgery. The staff was great, amenities were perfect. Hours and choice of breakfast was great. Pool and hot tub was fun for the kids. Overall a great experience.
Travelled with boys volleyball team. We were VERY HAPPY to get rooms at BW Plus Village Park Inn again. We had stayed here before and knew is was clean, friendly with good service and close to our venue. (The first time we stayed the hotel was even under renovations and we still loved it) the hotel staff went out of their way to ensure we had all that we needed. I found the rooms very comfortable and the breakfast bar one of the best I have experienced. Definitely recommend this hotel!
I understand that this property has recently been renovated - very nice, well done! The staff and management went out of their way to fulfill any and all requests we had. The underground parking was a bonus! Thank you Sara and the rest of the team at Best Western Village Park Inn :D
We love this hotel! This was our second stay in the past year. My husband and I were in Calgary 4 nights. We booked at the Best Western Downtown because we thought it would be fun to stay downtown and having stayed at this one last year, thought that since they were both "plus" it would be similar. Wrong! It was terrible. We cancelled the next 3 nights downtown and booked at the Village Park Inn. The next morning we were headed to Banff early so stopped in on our way just to make sure everything was ok with our reservation in case we were back late. The lady at the front desk (I didn't catch her name) said everything was good and that our room was actually ready so we could check in now and put our stuff in the room. Breakfast was great, we had room service one night also which was good. Beds are very comfortable and clean. The hotel was packed with kids for hockey and volleyball but you wouldn't know it. Quiet in the rooms. We won't stay anywhere else in Calgary now. It's so easy to get everywhere from this hotel, there's no reason to. We will be back!
This beautifully upgraded, updated hotel employs pleasant and knowledgeable staff, has clean and comfortable rooms, and its restaurants offer well-presented and well-prepared food. Easy access to transportation corridors, great value. Definitely worthy of its 'Plus' status within the Best Western stable of hotels.
I stayed here to be near the Foothills hospital, and the staff was great. They were very compassionate towards my situation. The room was quite comfortable and the parking was safe. The fitness centre was small, but functional.
We have stayed at this hotel a few times over the years but were very pleasantly surprised at the recent renovations. It has definitely been brought into the 21st century! The underground parking was a real boon as it was snowy and cold when we were there. We loved the new set up for breakfast. Formerly it was not included and one had to go down to a restaurant. They've now set up a generous sized seating area and buffet breakfast. The selection of food was impressive. As breakfast ends at 10 am. don't show up at 9:59 because you slept in after a night on the town and expect a meal. Breakfast is cleaned up promptly! Our room was beautifully refurbished and very clean. We enjoyed a soak in the hot tub later in the evening when things were quiet and allowed ourselves enough time for a pleasant soak. We will definitely stay here again.
My friend of over 50 years and I meet every year for a weekend in Calgary. We stay at the Best Western Village Park Inn because of the location, friendliness of the staff and free underground parking. We can come and go, easy to find our way around from there. The pool area can get a bit noisy when there are a lot of kids around but they shut it down at a good time in the evening so it doesn't disturb anyone's sleep. We have always been treated so well, we will be back again next year.
The hotel has an open plan. The staff were very friendly, the room was large, clean and comfortable. Food from the restaurant was delicious and prices very reasonable. Right across from McMahon Stadium, very easy to navigate the city from there. Also convenient if you're heading to Banff for a day.
My wife and I have stayed at this a few times in the past four months. The staff have always been exceptionally helpful and courteous. They make you feel like a valued customer. In my opinion the quality of the breakfast is excellent, the rooms are nice and clean and the location suited our needs very well. We didn't use the pool or workout facilities but they look very nice. It is worthwhile joining the Best Western fidelity group as it lets you access the indoor parking at no extra charge.
Great staff, delicious breakfast, and nice hot tub/pool. Room and facilities were really clean. You could make your own waffles and they had stuff for you to add to it like coconut and chocolate chips. Definitely recommend it!
The hotel was very clean and great service. Very close for the hospital if needed. I recommend this hotel. Staff was excellent and very helpful with anything I needed help with. McMahon stadium was just across the road.
We stayed here while visiting my husband at the Foothills hospital. We got a great deal on this hotel through a Priceline Express deal. For the price paid, I have no complaints. We had everything we could need: a renovated, attractive room with a large flat screen TV, microwave, and mini fridge; and a very tasty free breakfast with lots of hot items. My four year old son and I loved the pool - it was nice and warm! (Hotel pools are usually so cold.) The restaurant looked very nice. I did not try it (aside from the breakfast), but my mother and step-father tried a lunch special and really enjoyed it. The front desk was very helpful in assisting me with some files I needed printed. Overall, a great stay.
A great location for medical visits, I required a two day stay. We had a first floor room that was set up very nicely with a walk in shower. We did not encounter any unsupervised children. The hotel and room were clean and spacious. We parked in the underground and used the elevator. The breakfast was nice, with some changes from day to day. Polite, friendly staff.
I have stayed exclusively at Best Western all over the world, without any problems. I have, however; a serious complaint at the location specified above. When I arrived for my reserved room, I noticed a number of unsupervised children. Checking into our room, we had thought to go for a swim at the pool, but noticed that it was increasingly full of unsupervised, very loud children. We also wanted to go to the restaurant there, but with the open plan layout of the inn, the noise level from the pool was too unpleasant. Staying in our room, even with our TV on, it could not drown out the main floor pool party, although we were on the fifth floor. We complained twice, along with other guests, some quite vocally, and were told by the front desk they had booked EIGHT kid's hockey teams that night. Security was told but did virtually nothing except posting some no-noise signs, even the front desk admitted this. As the night proceeded children ran through the halls, screamed at the pool, while the adults responsible drank, laughed, and talked loudly some within mere metres of our suite door. I could not begin to sleep until approximately 11:30 pm when slowly the banging and noise began to subside. Unfortunately, the noise started up again next morning at 6:30am with hordes of undisciplined youngsters coming for breakfast; then upon opening, monopolizing the pool. We were denied possible use of facilities, got almost no sleep, and a stressful breakfast. I wouldn't stay at this location again, talking to other guests I received much the same response.
I stayed in one of their older standard rooms which was fine for my business trip. It was clean, great bed and pillows with free coffee in the room and bottled water. The included breakfast was good not great. Dry cereals no oatmeal, bacon or sausage, scrambled eggs, you can make your own waffles using the griddles, good coffee, juices and yoghurt selections. There was no fruit, toast or pancakes. This is why I say good but not great. Overall a good hotel for the price and location, the recent reno's make the hotel seem newer in the front entrance and restaurant areas, the rest of the hotel looks older especially the old brown brick if you look past the new front entrance façade.
Great location, easy access to main streets in Calgary. Comfortable bed, very appealing décor throughout hotel and in the rooms. Like the glass elevator over the lounge and pool area. Excellent price, I would highly recommend this hotel
The hotel was very nice and clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The continental breakfast in the morning was one of the best I have been at. There was everything you could want for breakfast and more. There have been major renovations to this particular hotel and it all looks great. Would definitely stay again.
Have stayed at this location a number of times. We find it to be a good location for visits to the Foothills hospital - appreciate the "hospital" rates. Underground parking is a great feature. Staff has always been very accommodating. Rooms clean and comfortable - best complimentary breakfast by far. Would highly recommend
My son and I enjoyed our stay. The hotel was clean. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was great. We also used the gym facilities. The staff was very helpful. Great value: Not expensive for what you get.
The breakfast is one of the best. With many chooses from hot cold food. The location is very handy to shopping, McMahon stadium, University of Calgary, hospital, and churches, in North west Calgary. Also 16 ave NW on the way out to Banff,AB,CA.
Rooms was fine, we even had a cot and there was plenty of room. Kids enjoyed the pool, hot tub wasn't working. Breakfast was pretty standard, nothing special but having it available was perfect. Parking lot is ridiculously small. Had a hard time parking because it is so crowded with vehicles parked all around the perimeter.
outstanding staff - friendly - helpful - clean and well kept rooms and restaurants - will highly recommend to others - outstanding choice in Calgary - dinner and breakfast were tasty and delivered hot and promptly
everything is good in this hotel. i love the design of the hotel. the service is good!the breakfast attendant also is great they gave us time to pick food even is nearly 10. i highly recommend this hotel. i definitely stay here again
I Have stayed in hotels in North America but my experience in this one has made me feel very special not only to myself but as well as friends and family The personal touch is amazing both staff and Management give you their undivided attention! This is what customer service is all about I personally award this Hotel with the highest in Excellence Customer Service!
We stayed there for 3 nights in April 2017 and were very happy with the service and hotel. I felt welcome from the moment we checked in. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The Servers at the Breakfast Buffet and the Restaurant were great. I would gladly stay there again.
It's only 15 minutes from the hospital which makes it convenient. The rooms are all re done but be aware the open to the outside and inside. As a single woman it's a little bit scary. Love the pool and hot tub in the middle. Cool view. The restaurant staff are amazing. Food is good. Free breakfast is outstanding. The front desk people are maybe over worked and therefore come off grumpy. The best one so far has been Joseph who told us he was in training. Don't let them train your genuinely niceness out of you . Last thing ....my parents are staying In a room next door and I came in and laughed when I saw goldfish on their floor. I said you still eat goldfish ? No. I said well there is one on the floor. My mom doesn't have her good glasses on and said she thought it was a blemish in the carpet . She also stayed they had wet towels and had to ask for dry ones. Overall not a bad place to stay if you are waiting for someone in the hospital.
We stayed here for 4 days. The location is great for downtown, as well as access to northwest calgary and the transcanada highway. Very nice breakfast buffet is complimentary. Coffee could be better. Also in-room coffee is not great. Our shower/bathtub drain was slow, despite efforts by the staff to address that. The staff are very helpful and polite, but apparently unable to solve the slow drain..The decor has been updated since our last visit and we thought it was really great. Beautiful contemporary photos, and artwork throughout the hotel.
This hotel was very convenient to accessing all western destinations of Calgary. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The central courtyard design is very attractive. It also allows the sound of the pools and the restaurant to travel. However this never became a problem because everyone was quiet between 8:00am and 11:00pm. The temperature was temperate when we were there so the underground parking was not necessary but it was a treat.
No surprises here! Well done reno and immaculate rooms . Staff first class as well. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Restaurant was the nicest amenity. Good meals and great value .two thumbs up.Super close to U of C as well as Mcmhan Stadium. Underground parking is heated dry and secure. Onsite lounge/bar nice and quiet and very reasonably priced.
Good place right across from the stadium. There is underground parking with direct elevator access to the rooms which is key in the winter. Fitness room has quality treadmills, TVs and towels. Breakfast was what I hoped - real scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns plus juice, yogurt, toast etc. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had plenty of toiletries (mouthwash, show brush, makeup remover, shower cap and more). There is also a Denny's next door. I'd stay again.
We arrived to stay overnight to attend a concert at Saddledome. Very efficient check in. Hotel is entirely renovated .Although ,it was very busy with short track racers . We experienced no problems. The Room was large, clean ,updated and sufficient bathroom toiletries . There was a coffeemaker , fridge and microwave .Breakfast was included , it had a good variety of choices. We were overall pleasant surprise and would happily stay again. We did not use the pool or gym Areas Parking was underground - well lighted .There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of hotel We walked to C- train easily to go to our concert . Will recommend this hotel To others
We stayed at this hotel during the summer of 2015. I enjoyed the close access to the trains, the saddledome, and fast food chains. We arrived Tuesday afternoon and around 5 pm they had a meet and greet in the main floor of the hotel. This was provided with Wine, pop, juice and some appetizers. The manager of the hotel made it his business to come and greet all the people attending this and have a nice long chat with everyone. He made a real effort to remember everyone's name and why they were here. The pool is located in the middle of the hotel. Right out in the open. Which made playing with the kids in the water a little uncomfortable. Plus you can hear people in the pool from our room. They have pool towels available and handy to cover up if chilly. The breakfast is in the restaurant of the hotel. They have the food ready to grab and enjoy. The parking is underground. Which is nice for any one staying during the winter months. You just use your room keycard to access it. And they have an elevator to the main floor.
Nice hotel with an impressive atrium. The pool was good, the gym was good, the room was good, it was all very nice. Even the breakfast (included) was good. The neigbourhood is not the best in Calgary but its close to Foothills hospital. I would recommend the underground parking for sure. And if you are staying on a Saturday night and want to sleep in, make sure to ask to be as far as possible from the conference room on the first floor....some kind of church meet there and they have their music LOUD (didnt bother me as I was on the 5th floor but something to watch for).
Stayed only one night, in town for a wedding. Hotel was nice enough, nothing special. Woken up at about 2am by our drunken neighbors banging on their door. Seemed like a domestic dispute. Lasted about 10 minutes. **They charge a DMF (destination marketing fee) of 3%. This IS a voluntary fee and you DO NOT have to pay it. They did remove it from our bill when we checked out.
It was a nice spacious comfortable room with fridge and microwave. The lady at check-in was very friendly and gave us free underground parking. My GPS couldn't find it because the address is Crowchild Trail not the service road that it is located on. For some reason the cleaning staff threw away the hand soap and didn't leave a replacement, There was no Kleenex for the last two days.
This Hotel is located in Hotel Village. I stay at a lot of Best Westerns In Calgary. I only chose this location as it was closest to an event I was attending Sep.28.2016 @ the jubilee Auditorium. And let me say: WOW! What a sleeper style hotel. Way way way better then I was expecting. This property is really nice. And well kept. More deserving of a BW Premier Title then just basic BW title. Very new up to date modern decor. Entire building has a nice feel to it. Rooms built/wrap around/over look the restaurant bar & pool area, makes it so there's an interior/exterior balcony hallway/walking system very cool. As a longtime maintenance person for a hotel chain. I was very pleased with the condition of this property. The lights above our beds did not work (Room 990) but a very small issue and the only one experienced. The pool area does not have its own designated bathroom/change area as it's open to the building, and as a result the building carries the pool smell throughout. during the day I image the pool noise echoing might get loud and would recommend a room on a higher floor. The front Desk staff @ check in were very friendly and efficient. The bar was nice and our server great at her job, even though she was triple tasking with restaurant and order deliveries. The complimentary BW breakfast was the best I've had at any best western location, the potatoes' were amazing and they had do it yourself waffles that were huge! & happened to have BW logo's in the shape of hearts on them! I feel Small things like that count big time. Shout out to Linda Ife the front office manager! She was very nice & helpful upon checkout and has a great GSA team working the front end! Out of the 5 best Western Locations I've personally tried in Calgary, this is my new favourite. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be staying here again in the future! Keep it up BW Village Park Inn!
Front desk and restaurant staff were unfriendly and insufficiently staffed,long wait at check in check out and in restaurant, long waits for elevators only 2 for a hotel this size and slow. Room was very good and bed comforatable.
I stayed here recently for two full weeks. The hospitality of the staff working there from the wonderful front desk attendants to the gals serving in the restaurant and the cleaning staff was unsurpassed. They are friendly courteous, quick to act when you need them and full of lots of smiles. I was originally a bit concerned that because it was located in the Motel Village which is an order set of motels and hotels, that I may not be quite as new or comfortable as I am used to. Boy was I wrong! This place, though economical by my standards, was a newly renovated beautiful place to stay with all the amenities and top of the line beds and linens. I stayed in one of the suites that has a large new shower instead of a tub and I liked it even better than a bath with a tub. Anything I seemed to have need of was supplied in quick time and the restaurant offers a wide variety of foods. The breakfast was amazing with everything a person usually eats at home, cold or hot. I saw one morning when about 100 plus people descended on the breakfast area all at once ( visiting sports teams) and although the kitchen was running overtime they fed everyone in record time. As the hot foods ran out they quickly refilled and still kept on smiling. If you go there the one thing you must try is the chef's soups. The minestrone is especially awesome. Will I go again .... if I get the chance I will. It is my new favourite place to stay other than the grandkids place.
My family and I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. The room was clean and spacious. Our room had a refrigerator and a microwave which is great. They offer free breakfast: eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, potatoes. You can make your own waffle, there are pastries, toast, cereal. The only thing that bother me a bit was that the pool was out in the open- so in the morning you can hear kids all the way to the room on the other end, cause it tends to echo. Though we did not have any problems with noise during the night. There are also places to eat near by. Overall we had a nice stay.
Excellent hotel...excellent rooms....excellent amenities. The gym was a bit slack but you can get by in a pinch. Not a fan of the best western scrambled eggs but again you can get by. Other than that this hotel was awesome!
I do a lot of travelling with my work. I have been all over Canada and the US and this is one of the best hotel deals I have ever had. I only booked this hotel because of its location and the price point was good, but I experienced a great hotel. The room was great, the breakfast was great, the parking was free, the internet worked perfectly and the room was clean. The next time I go to Calgary I will definately be staying at the Best Western Plus Village Park Inn.
It was so good to a Best Western motel in Calgary that was reasonable priced and they were friendly and helpful with every area of our stay. It was close to all the menus that we needed. It was very quite and peaceful place to hang our hat for the night.
This hotel was excellent. Our room was clean, bright and updated recently. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The included breakfast was a bit repetitive (we stayed 6 nights) but was always good. Lots of restaurants in the area and easy to get to downtown Calgary from there. Would definitely stay there again.
Located right off the #1. Free breakfast, excellent wi-fi, restaurant and bar, indoor pool. A large flat screen tv and leather couch in our room as well as a fridge and microwave. Would stay again if in the area. Happy travels.
At first glance this seems a nice place but the little things add up to make the stay frustrating. For example the parking in the underground lot: the spaces are way too small; you can't even open the car door. Luckily the place wasn't crowded that night. Also the alarm clock was so old that it didn't work. And no pens; again small things that just pissed me off for some reason.
Large spacious well equipped rooms, fantastic breakfast with many food choices. Carina at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Free underground parking with good security. Definitely would return here when next in Calgary.
Wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are looking to get any rest after 7 a.m. Has a central corridor and the noise from the pools is horrible in every room! Also, they rented out our room to another customer during the night. Had someone come into our room while we were sleeping. NOT a good expereince at all. Went to the front desk in the more as our cards wouldn't work and when I told them what happened they said "yeah, we heard about that...sorry" WHAT!!! Told the desk clerk about the pathetic response when we checked out the next day. Gave us a lousy 25% off. Not going back. True reflection of an establishment is how they handle situations when they make a mistake. Too bad.
We were here for only one night on our way through Calgary. Coming from Lethbridge we had some trouble finding it only because of street construction. It was very convenient when we left for Banff, The front desk people were very polite, nice and certainly helpful, as were the restaurant employees. The breakfast was a full breakfast buffet in a nice comfortable setting. Would use this hotel again.
We stayed one night while passing through Calgary. Our suite was exceptional...huge main room with apartment size fridge, granite counter top bar area, huge bathroom with double sinks, two person soaker tub and jetted shower. Very clean and bed was very comfortable. Would be great for a gathering easily accommodating a dozen people. Superb!
We have stayed here many times and find it very easy to find and convenient to the C train, shopping, downtown and other attractions. The staff are very accommodating! The rooms are a good size, nicely appointed with doors to the outside walkway should you wish to step outside for fresh air!! Would highly recommend this hotel!!
Would recommend for a stay in Calgary. Great place and great location to downtown Calgary. Great staff. Great breakfast. If we would return to Calgary. Would also recommend to our closest friends that would travel to Calgary.
A very central location. A very nice complimentary breakfast served from 7-10 am. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Shower pressure was a bit lacking. Rooms were very quiet and dark at night. I would come back here.
My high school friend from Saskatchewan, who now lives in the Yukon, was on her way "home" to visit her Mom. We met here at my favorite Calgary "home away from home". We had the most wonderful visit and laughed and talked until 3 am! The staff was so accommodating and helpful. The food was great and those beds are so comfortable! It was so much fun I booked a second night with another friend who I hadn't seen for ages! We were pleasantly surprised to discover we were invited to the weekly wine and appetizer event! Also, we made it to the wonderful included breakfast. We also stay here whenever family members are in the Foothills Hospital.
I found this gem on my last trip to Calgary. Newly updated interior of main areas and guest rooms are beautiful. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast buffet has many options and enough seating for large numbers of guests at one time. Being so close to the stadium or Foothills hospital makes the hotel very handy. I will stay again.
Location is great for Stadium and Uni. of Clagary. Breakfast is included. there is a pool and a hot tub. Rooms have microwave & fridge. Excellent for families & couples staying a few days in this area.
Have stayed at this location for over 15 years, Since 2015 , great interior makeover, very comfortable beds. Easy access to anywhere in Calgary or the surrounding Areas Drumheller to Banff. Close to U of C Many visiting sports teams and fans, never a problem with noise
Excellent hotel. Room was excellent, breakfast area large & food was good. Very nice staff & management. We did not use any of the other facilities such as pool & hot tub. We would definitely choose this hotel again.
This hotel is embodiment of class and comfort, we stayed three night in this hotel, the room were cozy and clean, with modern amenities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They offer free buffet breakfast and the restaurant is large and very clean. However, the pool and hot tub is too small as it is situated in between the second floor, often time noisy and crowded. They have a pay parking and complementary parking often time there is no space in the complementary parking lot. This hotel is in a class of his own you won't regret lounging here.
This is a nice hotel, clean and comfortable...the hotel was very busy during our stay so was a bit noisy. The Hot breakfast was good but they did not have enough staff to clear tables and restock food. The Hot tub had too much chlorine and it burnt your eyes. Rooms had small fridge, microwave and beds are comfortable. Would be nice if pool didn't open till 9am as is very noisey
We stayed one night in this hotel. It was quiet and the rooms were clean and modern. The rooms are on various levels surrounding an open area to the pool, restaurant, etc. It was very quiet. Breakfast was included - it was a standard type of serve yourself buffet that was no better or worse than anywhere else including eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereal, toast and pastries, yogurt, waffles, etc. I would stay here again, it's really very nice.
The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The décor of the hotel is very nice, with a modern upper class vibe. The rooms were nicely appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast was good for a buffet style, hotel breakfast. The only issue is the pool was a little loud but it closes at 10pm so it was no big deal. Nice lounge. Overall a very good hotel for business or pleasure in Calgary.
Newly renovated hotel with a modern look. Breakfast area large and well stocked. Pool located in beautiful open atrium. Free underground parking. Located right across from McMahon stadium. Reasonably priced for what you get. Family friendly hotel. Highly recommended.
Our room overlooked the pool area and it was fun to watch the kids enjoying themselves. Nice rooms with the bedroom away from the noise ok dinner my husbands burger was average. My pasta was very good but spicy. Good but not with the red wine I ordered. Breakfast was top notch. Staff was friendly.
Excellent value for money Big rooms newly renovated with good lighting nice mattresses and amenities Good breakfast Excellent location Quiet neighbourhood parking easy Service excellent I could not find any thing that was not satisfactory.
The room, breakfast, and lounge were excellent. Well furnished, clean rooms. Free parking as a BW member. We wish we would've had more time to enjoy the hot tub. Ronald at the front desk went beyond expectations to ensure that we would have an enjoyable stay.
Great service and accommodations for a reasonable price. Close to McMahon Stadium and access to major thoroughfares. Rooms are well appointed and modern. Lounge and restaurant offer great food and service.
I selected this hotel from Hotwire. It was better than I could imagine. Only wish I had more time to enjoy the amenities. The breakfast and all was included. Total price around $60 US. Amazing. Free parking...wow.
The room was awesome, pool was on the 2nd floor same as us, we had lots of fun in that and the hot tub. The complementary breakfast was great, (not ya muffin or bagel type offered elsewhere) The staff was very friendly, professional and helpful. we'll be back there again and most likely again.
We held our wedding here in July 2016, and were very happy with everything, especially how helpful the event staff were with our requests. We originally planned to only hold our reception here, but weather on the day of the wedding forced us indoors, and the hotel was very accommodating and helpful, setting us up in an extra room for the ceremony. They let us use an area for photographs, were flexible as to the start time of our meal, and did everything they could to help make the day easy and happy. The in-house Courtyard restaurant provided our meal and did an excellent job. The food was good, the chocolate cake was incredible, and every course arrived in a timely manner. All of our guests stayed at the hotel for several nights as well, and everyone enjoyed it. Overall we were very happy and appreciative, and would recommend the Best Western Village Park Inn for anyone looking to host an event.
Travelling to Vancouver from Edmonton, I had to break my journey as I was not feeling good and needed some rest. Checked in at the Best Western Village Park Inn, located conveniently mere meters away from the TransCanada Highway 1. I was greeted much warmly by a cheerful front desk staff member, Carlina. She processed my reservation and meticulously explained what's included and what's not, directions for the parking etc. A pleasant experience. She was exceptionally competent and conscientious. Because of my "frequent-guest-status" at their sister properties Westin, etc. I was upgraded to a very comfy room on the 5th floor with a king-sized bed, microwave oven, fridge, etc. Parking underground was a breeze. Breakfast was excellent, with hot offering like eggs, assorted meats, potatoes, waffles etc. The hotel is 100% smoke free which helped me have a good night sleep.
Haven't stayed here for a few years but will definitely be back. The room was great, bed was so comfortable, staff were very pleasant and helpful. Didn't use the pool due to time but it looked very inviting. Breakfast was fine though we did find both mornings, they ran out of butter and the muffins were a little dry. We did enjoy our overall experience.
Love where everything you need is within one stop. Park & stay here for a game. It's perfect! Had a room facing the stadium with a balcony. Quiet inside the room too. L train within a block walk. Variety stores, restaurants & liquor store within 1 block too. Food was fine & breakfast had a great assortment of hot & cold items. I would stay here again. Downfall - staff in all depts not overly happy with new owner. Not sure why. Too much chat in front of customers. Underground parking needs to be brighter.
I've always found Best Westerns a hit or miss. While this one isn't a complete miss, it isn't a hit either. We only chose this hotel as we could use our air miles rewards to stay free and its proximity to McMahon Stadium. Location was awesome as we were able to walk to the game. Despite the open courtyard containing the pool, bar and restaurant, we weren't disturbed by the noise (even after the football game). What makes this hotel poor is the housekeeping. The housekeeping staff short changed us on towels everyday, "forgot" to leave a tub mat, extra roll of toilet paper, didn't replace the empty tissue or coffee supplies ... There is a lot of choice for the breakfast but if you like butter on your toast, it isn't offered every day.
This hotel has the worse service and is the loudest hotel to stay at. When asking front desk to help tone noise down they are not too helpful. Room is dirty. Actually nasty. We are loyal BW clients with platinum membership and they put us in a crappie room. No appreciation for loyal members. We are currently staying at this hotel and have to use melatonin for myself and our children to sleep. Would love to leave but they will not reimburse our room for 3 nights stay. If you don't mind noise and crappie service this hotel is for you. I wouldn't recommend to my worse enemy.
Stayed here for two nights with kids for a trip to Calaway Park and the Zoo. Good location, hotel was clean and breakfast was great for the family. Price was reasonable and overall we had a good experience at this hotel
I'm currently staying at this hotel. We chose it because of the pool and location. The pool is located in the centre of the hotel, right outside of everyone's door. The noise from children playing and screaming in the pool echos through the entire building. The blinds in our room do not close and there is a light right outside our room shining in on our beds. The blind tracks stop and leave a gap of about four feet of open window in the middle of the window. Is this supposed to be decorative? Because I literally cannot change in my room if I don't want half of Calgary to see me naked, let alone SLEEP with a light shining in my window. I have had to use hangers with clips to keep the window dressings together and block the light partially. We are extremely loyal BW rewards members, we travel and stay with BW very often and I am extremely shocked at the design flaws in this building. I will be contacting BW directly about my concerns but thought the trip advisor community should know to stay clear of this hotel. Dark rooms and quiet are needed for a good night sleep. This hotel misses the mark completely.
We booked BW last minute and were SO Pleased! The hotel is clean, comfortable and friendly! Love the layout! Breakfast was great and convenient. Room was quiet. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one!
Great Stay - Renovations done to entire hotel. Love the hardwood floors instead of carpet in room and new walk in showers are great. Rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. Hot tub, Lounge and Breakfast was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend and will be back again.
hotel is very nice and has recently updated the rooms. underground parking and a great loung/bar area. The breafast that is included is terrific. the pool area, which i did not use, looked like a lot of fun for families. rooms are quiet and beds are bew and very comfortable.
I tried calling more than 10 times prior to my reservation to ensure the two rooms I had booked were next to each other. I was put on hold every single time for a total of 2 hours on more than one day- when finally spoken to the rep was impolite and not friendly. I'm not usually one to complain but this was just such poor service, I was unimpressed especially since Best Western is known to be a popular, good hotel chain. Count on nice clean rooms but poor customer service. They are receiving almost $1000 from my stay at their hotel- I was hoping the least I could expect was polite service.
In our long western road trip, this hotel was decidedly the fanciest we stayed in (though not actually the most expensive! I'm looking at you, Drumheller.) Glass-walled elevators, open interior, full sized dining and lounge, underground parking... so much more than most roadside motel/hotels offer. Since the scale was bigger, there was more noise and people (especially one night at the pool outside our room, where a bunch of rowdy guys were hooting and howling), but for the most part it was not a problem. It has a nice location close to some thoroughfares; Big T's is right down the street. The breakfast was excellent and extensive - again, a cut above our other hotels. If we come back to Calgary, I would definitely come here for the great value.
I stayed there for two weeks for my U of C summer residency. It's a 15 min. easy walk to University. The hotel is clean and comfortable, the size of the room and the wifi access were very useful for someone like me who spent all her time in the room working, as was the business center. The hotel restaurant is very nice, I had dinner there every day and the included breakfast is great. The staff is very friendly an efficient. The only downside for me but i guess others would consider it an advantage is the indoors pool that's very noisy and is open until 22:00 pm. Still, most of the normal guests enjoyed it I guess. All in all a good experience, I guess I'll stay there again next summer:)If you are not a student though and want to see the city and other places you should get a car - there's nothing to do in the vicinity - there's a train station close by.
It is close to C-Train station and some nice restaurants (such as The Nick's and Big T BBQ). It has its own restaurant too, where reasonably-priced good food is offered. It provides free breakfast too. Room service is fast and the staff members are friendly and helpful.
First of all if you call the front desk, they won't answer! I called four times, letting it ring until I was disconnected. After 10 minutes of calling I got an answer. I said I was calling for 10 minutes, she said she was busy. Nice customer service. Housekeeping did not empty the garbage, replace the facecloths, gave us only two towels, no shampoo or conditioner, no plastic cups, ice bucket was not cleaned or plastic bag replaced. Had to call down to get towels etc. This is basic stuff, housekeeping should be doing their job. On the website it clearly states the pool is adults only from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm yet when I call the front desk to inquire about this because there are kids SCREAMING in there at 9:45 the girl at the front desk argues with me that is not their policy and kids are allowed in there after 9:00 pm. I was on the fourth floor at the opposite end of the hotel as the pool - it was loud! Brutal stay. I will not be back and never recommend this hotel. There are many in the area, so choices are plenty. Also, we found pieces of toys under the bed from a previous guest. The cleanliness of the bathroom was also questionable.
My wife and I stayed here at the end of our tour of the Rockies prior to returning to London. We were very pleased with the modern, clean, attractive rooms, the underground parking, the friendly greeting in the lobby, and we love the big, open common area in the centre of the hotel. Breakfast was included which was much appreciated. The location was convenient for us for driving to the airport the next morning. We would stay again on a return visit.
I was in Calgary and booked this hotel for my stay. I have stayed here before and liked both the service and the way that this hotel is clean and comfy. I had never booked online before. Got there and was welcomed with a smile, please and thank-you, very nice desk clerk. Got to my room and as before very clean, very nice. Will for sure use this as my Calgary stay hotel in the future.
Front desk service was fine. A little weird to see the pool in the middle of the hotel, but it didn't affect us noise wise. Food was fine at the restaurant and it was open to a reasonable hour. The rooms were clean, updated and the beds were fine. The only niggle was the a/c unit didn't have a low setting that wasn't gale force, and it was noisy. Breakfast was excellent for a buffet and the dining room space was generous. I would stay there again without blinking an eye.
We would stay here again. Excellent service from the front desk to the complementary breakfast to the care of the room. Near the C-Train so never had to take car from underground, secure parking lot. Perhaps the Sunday brunch was a bit overcrowded and if they had opened up the bar for guest there would have been lots of room. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.
The rooms and decor were very nice. You can tell it was recently renovated. They had a crib set up for us in our room, as per our reservation request. The breakfast buffet was really good & busy, and they were very good at keeping it stocked and clean. The only issue we had was the noise. The restaurant & pool are centrally located and the noise shot straight up into the room. We woke up to the sound of clanking plates both days. We booked online and paid with airmiles and found it to be a very quick and easy process.
Spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, excellent buffet breakfast. Very quiet at night, despite our initial concerns with the open center concept. Supper in The Courtyard room was exceptional. Good prices, staff very friendly. Would stay here again.
Website refers to "Sunday Brunch" from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm for $20.95 +gst and they haven't offered the brunch since about end of May according to the server. Very dissapointed as made a special trip out. Told the server that it was still advertised and she was aware of it but just implied they hadn't updated their website yet..... We will never go back. Don't waste your time.
Chose this hotel because of it's proximity to a C-train station with quick access to the stampede grounds as we were unfamiliar with driving in Calgary.Hotel was comfortable and quiet even though we were overlooking a main street .Check-in took longer than usual as we wanted to use cash rather than a credit card. We were allowed to use the parking garage at no charge which was much appreciated.We would stay here again if we were back in Calgary.
Was in Calgary for the Stampede. Excellent hotel for location, right next to the C train to downtown and Stampede Park. Easy access to Hwy 1 but very quiet. Everything has been remodelled, very clean and new. Staff Excellent. Highly recommend this hotel. Only complaint was the beds were too soft.
loved our stay. everything was wonderful and spent 3 nights in luxury. will stay there again. very reasonable rate as well. the room was beautiful and the food good. the staff was pleasant and helpful as well.
We would stay here again. The beds are comfortable and there is free wifi. The pool is on the second floor and out in the open, which is a nice change from other hotels where the pool is in some remote place in the hotel. Free complementary breakfast was adequate. The décor is modern and streamlined. Overall wonderful stay.
Excellent value for the money. Clean and very professional We had a beautiful room far more than what we expected for the price that we paid. It was immaculately clean, very modern. We were on a pleasure trip but it was well equipped for a business trip for sure. We would definitely stay there again when we go to Calgary.
Most important things in any hotel are cleanliness and comfortable beds. Beds were fine, cleanliness was not there. A gross amount of hair throughout the bathroom. Breakfast was below average, mostly cereals and breads. Not much for choice for anyone with gluten sensitivities or allergies. Hugh humidity in the rooms. No way to open windows or otherwise vent humidity out of rooms. At check out, was not asked how my stay was. Payment was taken and that was that. Won't return.
Very nice hotel with great staff, good food, and nice amenities. The rooms were large with comfortable beds and bedding. WiFi was strong. Breakfast was especially good, although the hostess was a bit snippy. The elevators went out of commission, but one of the hotel staff took me through the employee spaces to get down to the garage to get my car.
I have stayed here several times over many years, since my last stay it had been renovated rooms and lobby and halls. with nice clean rooms, and the air vents in the air conditioner were clean, no dust to choke on, Free breakfast is always a plus, with a small pool, hot tub to relax in, And gym was good enough machines and weights to have a real work out.
The Village Park Inn is the best hotel in Motel Village. I've tried most of the others and now won't stay anywhere else! Wonderful updated rooms and the friendliest staff anywhere! Special thanks to Carina at the front desk and Jasmin in Housekeeping for making this yet another great stay. See you next time!
70's hotel, recently renovated with dark modern finishes, close to Foothills Hospital and University. Rooms open onto an atrium and are above the pool and restaurant. Sound carries considerably in the evening so consider a room on an upper floor. Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. Amenities: free WIFI, room fridge, and a breakfast buffet which was the caliber one would expect for a roadside hotel. Liked the secure underground parking, which was free with rewards program membership.
An outstanding place to stay. It's not cheap, esp considering the extra taxes. But we were there for 6 days and we loved the entire place, right down to the room doors that stay open so that you could move a luggage cart through them easily. Staff was outstanding. Excellent bar and grill, breakfast which was included was excellent, and restaurant very good as well. Minor complaints: wine was overpriced, or at least they should have less expensive wines available. We were surprised at the lack of proper venting in the bathroom -- mirror steamed up with showers - needs a power vent. Parking inside is good.
Close to the University. Great Value for Calgary. Super Breakfast. Comfy beds. Nice Pool. Fantastic underground parking lots. Don't expect early check-in. Looks dingy on the outside, shine and renovated on the inside. Bring ear plugs if there is a wedding in the lobby bar.
This is a good place to stay. The ctrain stop is only a few minutes walk. It is one stop away from the university or about a 15 minute walk. Downtown is a 15 minute train ride. there are a few fast food restaurants close by but the one in the hotel is quite good. the breakfast buffet is typical..but good. The staff are very friendly. It is an open concept hotel but surprisingly the noise does not travel.
Nice looking room, good tasting food, pleasant, helpful, and flexible staff! We had an event with 60 people that went without a hitch. So many things could have gone wrongg that didn't. We were very grateful to have found this place.
We held a business meeting here, and several of us stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. The first night we relaxed with drinks and a casual dinner at Rockies. Nice menu, generous portions. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious full breakfast bar in the Courtyard Restaurant. Our meeting facilities were very nice. We got anything extra we needed very promptly. Service is great; no complaints. Pool is located in the central courtyard, and there were some people there that we could hear in our room after 9:00. Pool closes at 10:00 though.
Came here for a 4 night stay. The hotel is a run down, the furniture, sheets, pillows, etc., are not in great shape. I called the front desk multiple times and they did not answer. The food at breakfast and supper were terrible. The service was beyond slow with our party asking multiple times for menus, services, the bill, etc. Couldn't find a bottle or can of diet coke or pepsi anywhere in the place, The worst parts however are that the pillows are very uncomfortable and the rooms are built around a 5 story atrium. It looks nice but every sound travels up to every door and room from 6 am to midnight and beyond. I am confused about why any architect would build a hotel this way as the noise was terrible? The room was cold and when I turned the heat up , the fan was super noisy. Can't sleep and the food and service suck.
We rented a boardroom and stayed in a suite. I definitely recommend staying in a suite. They are very spacious, have great beds and the Jacuzzi is an extra bonus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will stay here again.
The staff at this hotel are just awesome. Our club hosted a national convention in May and we were at the hotel for a week. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. the hotel has recently been remodeled (from top to bottom) and the beds are very comfortable. I would not hesitate hosting a future convention at this hotel.
A wonderful place for all events and courteous, friendly, prompt services with a smile..special thanks to Pallavi, Crystal and Meghan for their wonderful services. Definitely you will see us soon...??????
This is a great hotel. Easy to find, and very nice. The beds are unreal. So comfortable! The breakfast was standard, but good. Ate supper in the lounge one night and it was excellent as well. Would definitely stay here again.
Really like this hotel, beds are comfy and showers are hot with good water pressure. The breakfast is really good and included in your stay. Would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to be near the foothills hospital.
We were all SO IMPRESSED! New, refreshed decor, wonderfully comfortable rooms - even for our one guest who suffers from allergies and has had problems with other hotels' cleaning products! The rooms are welcoming, the beds super-comfortable, the bathroom amenities are generous and a real treat to use, and the staff were so helpful and welcoming. Our family was here on a bereavement visit, and your warm and friendly welcome and luxurious accommodation turned a sad occasion into a comforting and positive family gathering. We thank you!!
This hotel was recommended to us by a friend and a friend of the friend. I traveled with my daughter and this was the safest feeling hotel we have stayed in. The rooms surround an open indoor coutyard (5 stories high) that houses the restaurant, lounge and swimming pool/sauna. The elevators also face the courtyard and are glass on the outside, so you can see into the courtyard. Also the stairs to the upper levels are also an open concept spiral design also within the courtyard. No long dark hallways, closed-in stairwells or confined feeling elevators. A very safe feeling, we found, traveling as females. The breakfast is included and is amazing. Massive fresh fruit tray with everything imaginable, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, yogurt, vegetables.... a step up for sure compared to other comparable hotels offering breakfast included. Also coffee/tea, etc. is served to your table. They also offer an amazing Sunday buffet (not included in room rate). The location is good. It is easy to get into the city centre via the CTrain (communter train). The Banff Trail station is very close. We would stay here again.
We paid extra for an upgraded room and apart from the bathrobes there was little that would suggest this was the case. I ended up being very ill one night during our stay and staff was very helpful. Not our best stay away. We expected somewhat more of the room quality
The Best Western was a great place to stay in Calgary, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was great with very comfortable beds. The location was close to some very good places to eat and easy to get to from both downtown and in to town. We would stay there again.
I have stayed here many times and have booked many conferences and events at this hotel. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and see to every detail. They go above and beyond your expectations to ensure that your experience is positive. This is a newly renovated and updated hotel and the rooms are in fantastic condition. The elevators are a bit entertaining, as it's never sure if they will go up or down or skip your floor, but it provides a level of amusement.
My husband had an emergency hospitalization while we were on vacation. Best Western was very close by so I have stayed here for four days. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast each morning is good. I ate lunch in the restaurant twice-food good. The front desk people were helpful and accommodating. The only negative is it is very noisy because of the restaurant and pool in the center. Luckily I brought a noise machine so it didn't impede my sleep.
My company held an education day here- & the staff were amazing! everyone was very friendly & did everything to make sure our day went off without a hitch! Anytime we needed anything someone was always right there, it really helped make sure everyone had an enjoyable day!
My stay was excellent! Everyone was helpful and friendly at the reception especially night shift guys. Breakfast area looks very modern. There are lots of items to choose from. Rooms are modern and very clean. HK staff were friendly too. Great location - 5 minutes walk from Banff Trail LTR station.
We paid a return visit to this hotel recently and upon arrival I discovered, to my embarrassment, that I had mistakenly booked another Best Western instead of my intended stopover. No problem. The very friendly and efficient front desk people simply got on the phone and straightened out my faulty reservation with the other hotel and in minutes we were set for a pleasant stay among the friendly folks who staff this hotel. On our return from British Columbia the following week we once again stayed at the same hotel and had a great stay. The staff of this hotel will go the distance to make your stopover enjoyable. What better recommendation can I offer?
Recently we had to tavel to Calgary as a family member was in hospital and not expected to live. We travel for 10 straight hours and then went directly to the hospital. Leaving their at night, totally exhausted and not knowing where to stay we lucked out on this fabulous hotel. From the minute we walked in the door, they treated us with the greatest kindness and understanding. There was nothing they would not do to make our stay as easy as possible. Not knowing how many days we were going to be there, we checked out everyday and then back in every night for 3 nights. They managed to get us the same room for 3 nights in a row and we were very appreciative of this. It was wonderful to come back each night after spending the whole day at the hospital and be so well treated with such concern. From the front desk staff to the lovely waitresses in the lounge, we thank you so very much. It was a blessing to be able to come back each night to our retreat. Again thank you so much, I cannot think of another hotel where we were treated so very kindly.
Our family used to go here for Sunday brunch on special occasions yearly but for whatever reason haven't been there for approximately 10 years. We decided to take our mom there for Mother's Day as it was close and we had good, although vague, memories of it! I can assure you I will not being going back! The selection was alright, and the price- at $26 per adult, seems average for Calgary. Where it seemed to unravel was the service and the payment at the end. Despite waiting for a bill, I finally had to flag someone down and ask if we paid at the front. I was told yes and the employee asked if I was ready to pay. I started to follow her, however once at the front desk she disappeared. There was a lengthy lineup waiting to be seated, and I was unsure if I was supposed to wait in that or if she was coming back with a handheld debit machine. She reappeared a few minutes later, and started seating some people so I went and waited in line. The line was complete chaos and I waited for approximately 10 minutes before I could pay- long enough that she forgot that I was even paying, not waiting to be seated. The machine neglected to ask for a tip, so I mentioned this to the employee. She immediately stated "oh the tip is built in". I then looked at my bill and a 18% 'service charge' had already been added. I cannot begin to describe how offensive I find that. I understand that most places have a policy for large parties and a minimum tip, but we were a party of 5. I also would've never tipped more than 15% as the service was lackluster- pretty sad considering all they had to do was keep our coffee filled and eventually take away our plates. I know there are much better brunch places in town, with much better service. Not only that, but you still have the right to exercise your judgment of tip amount and know if can be reflective of the service. .
This is one of the best properties I have stayed at and whenever in Calgary it is my go to destination. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are modern and well maintained, and the food and beverage service is top level.
This was our very time staying in this hotel. The staff said it hadbeen recently upgraded and it shows. Very tastefully decorated main lobby Under ground parking Comfy beds Very clean newer bathroom Great breakfast bar included. On the corner of Crowchild and 16th Ave very easy to get in and out of. We would defintely stay this hotel again.
As a first time visitor to Calgary, this hotel was a great find. Easy to get to from the airport and close to areas where I had business meetings. The location for my visit was ideal and close to access all major roads. The hospitality of the people working in this hotel was absolutely outstanding! Both the folks at the front desk and the wait staff in the restaurant answered questions and gave directions to every place I needed to go. Very comfortable beds made for a great sleep.
The rooms look good, and they are very comfortable. The staff is excellent as always, and the free breakfast was standard. The only problem we had was a faulty elevator, that didn't stop on all the floors (no pun intended) and that there is no shelves in the showers.
We stayed one night at this hotel and we were very pleased with the service , value , location and comfort . Spotless clean room, comfortable beds, free wifi , parking , and very good breakfast buffet . We will return.
came to Calgary for day surgery - everything went well - an excellent environment at the hotel certainly contributed to a successful trip. Staff were always smiling and communicative.The rooms and location are very quiet at this time of year -- being right across from McMahon Football Stadium(home of the stampeders ) could make it busy in football season.
Would highly recommend this hotel. Friendly staff, newly renovated and spotlessly clean rooms, great location and the complimentary breakfast buffet was delicious. Plenty of parking and also underground parking available, football fans will enjoy the c;lose proximity to the stadiium,
High quality Best Western motel in "Motel Village", close to university, McMahon Stadium, easy to find off Trans-Canada highway. Very convenient to use the LRT to go downtown; there is a station right beside Motel Village. Excellent room: two very comfortable queens, lots of space, good bathroom. Room was quiet, even though located on second floor with restaurant in open area below. Only negative is that the sealed window did not open.
We had two very pleasant stays at this hotel in the last month. The interior has been recently renovated and it is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and most accommodating. We enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet which provided a wide variety of good quality hot and cold foods. The hotel is not near downtown but is within walking distance of Foothills Hospital, University of Calgary and is practically across the street from McMahon Stadium. There are several restaurant choices nearby, from casual to ethnic, to fine dining.
a very nice hotel, has been updated and the open style is attractive. this is the first time in this hotel and wont be the last. Close to the west exit to the Rockies, we were headed to Bragg Creek for a Christmas party. Breakfast was good even though we caught it at the tail end. (slept in)
My son and I came to Calgary for the RU Fast Speed skating tournament held at the Olympic Oval located at the University. The hotel is only ten minutes away from the venue. Walking into the hotel you can tell the hotel has had a recent renovation, though the elevator needed some upgrading as well as it clinked and clanged. Since my husband had a Best Western Card for travelling we were given underground parking for free which was nice. The room had been completely gutted and redone, not just the carpet and the wallpaper but looked like new ceiling, new thermostat and a new room heater. I hate staying at hotels were they gut everything but leave the noisy heater to keep you awake at night. The beds were nice and soft and loved all the pillows too! Breakfast at the Court Yard Restaurant was included and started at 6:30am, there were waffles, a large variety of fruit and scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon and potatoes; along with cereals and pastries,.breakfast was really good. Service was excellent at breakfast. Dinner at the restaurant was completely opposite. Two families with a total of four children came back to the restaurant after a day of races. Service was terrible, the waitress never came back to ask if we wanted to refresh our beverages, I received my salad first, and then we waited 25 minutes for our meals which came luke warm. The next time we saw our waitress was when she came to ask us how we wanted to divide up the cheque. Not impressed, service definitely needs to be improved on. The only other thing I was not happy about was the pool area. Friday night we arrived, the hot tub was closed for repairs. The water in the pool was freezing. No child stayed more than a few minutes in the pool. The next day the hot tub was opened temporarily, but the other families children got blue paint or glue, whatever was on the hot tub on their bathing suits. The family complained, and again the hot tub was closed again. When travelling with children, the pool is most important, and the hotel needs to make sure that it is operational and usable (not freezing). If I would have known this earlier, I would have found another hotel with a pool, as there are quite a few to choose from in this area. Overall our stay was quiet, and nice. It's a great place to stay if you don't plan on using the amenities offered.
We stayed the weekend with our hockey team. Very nice and clean and friendly staff. Also offer a good breakfast. Nice selection of restuarunts within walking distance. The underground parking was very convenient. Nice pool and hot tub and a very relaxing atmosphere!
New modern style , wonderful hot tub and pool. Good Location. The only negative is a very small bathroom but on the plus side great breakfast that comes with the room. Beautiful restaurant in hotel. The other bonus is the underground secure parking.
Very pleasant stay. The rooms are newly renovated and the off season rate was very reasonable. Bathroom was small for a two bed suite but certainly manageable. Sheets and linens were crisp and white with four pillows per bed. Clean and comfy with no unpleasant odors. Will definitely be back.
This is one of my fav hotels in Calgary -- I am always happy with the quality of this hotel and appearance. In addition, the location is easy to get to when coming in from Calgary on the North side as well as easy to exit Calgary to the west enroute to Banff and Canmore.
The Village Park Inn is located in Northwest Calgary near the University and Foothills Hospital. Outdoor parking is free and transit is nearby. The hotel has been recently redecorated and the rooms are lovely. The free breakfast includes hot items and a selection of fruit, cereals, bread, etc. I have stayed at this hotel for years, never had a bad experience.
Our company booked an event room at the Best Western Village Park Inn and was so thrilled with the results. The venue was all recently upgraded and was beautiful and classy. We had a hot breakfast buffet which members were going back for seconds and thirds. The room was set up for our Board Meeting and was quiet and functional. The event manager was lovely and answered all my questions promptly. Our members where also very happy with the location being central and close to an LRT line.
The only problem we had, is that the atrium where breakfast is served is in a wide open area below. You can hear dishes clanging and people talking before 6:30. Maybe a higher floor would help!? It also drives me nuts when there is a 'charge' for parking where you need to sleep. That would be a the reason I DON'T choose a hotel. It is the principle of the thing to me, has nothing to do with the money.
We always stay at Best Western if possible as the quality is consistent & good price. The breakfast with the room is really great. Have often been given upgrades when staying any length of time. Staff are very courteous & helpful. Clean & very comfortable beds.
Don't be put off from the outside as the hotel has been totally renovated inside. As our visit was due to surgery at the Foothills Hospital we asked for a quiet room and the staff were obliging and gave us a higher room. There is a nice pool and hot tub (can be noisy with the children but not distracting). Nice bar where we can had a drink and supper (pasta was really good!). The free breakfast was pretty good, enough choice for my husband and I. Staff could be a bit more cheerful but did a great job of getting coffee's and juices, and making sure there was sufficient hot and cold foods available. As a BW member we got free underground parking which was a bonus. Wifi was good anytime of the day. We will stay again.
This was my second time staying at this hotel and received the same excellent service as I did in November. Staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant and fitness center are top notch. The indoor pool and hot tub was a nice touch... Will have to remember to bring swim attire on my next stay. Tamara and Carina at the front desk are wonderful too!
This is one gem hotel you dont want to miss. Was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to everyone for the price and the location. Hotel staff were great.. Thank you Linda :) Would stay here again without any hestation.
Clean and Quiet, Great Amenities ! Central location. The Hotel is huge inside like a big mall. Kids and I loved the pool and hot tube. All was clean and well taken care of. Beds were very fresh smelling and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome, vey yummy, lots of choice. We will be back.
Was pleasantly surprised at the size of the desk in our room, even though we were visiting for shopping purposes. There was plenty of space for my computer and additional doo-dad, work related hardware. Easy to hook-up to Wi-Fi. The included hot breakfast was excellent. Check-in and out was smooth and expeditious.
After checking out all neighboring hotels this was our last stop and glad we stayed. They not only offer AMA discounts but also one for having a family member at the Foothills hospital. After a long stressful day at the hospital we walked to our room the door was wide open and still dirty. They promptly moved us to another room which bathtub want exactly clean they sent a maid instant to tidy up.Very kind and efficient. It's been newly renovated and very clean. They offer an amazing breakfast. I will stay here again and will recommend this hotel to anyone.
It was a great stay overall, front desk staff was very helpful. With 3 of us staying in the room and only one chair, staff immediately brought up an additional chair. The only issue was the holiday hours of the breakfast starting at 7:30 instead of 6:30 we had to leave early and didn't get to enjoy the hot breakfast.
We liked staying at this hotel, actually we liked all Best Western Hotels whether we're going on a long or short holidays. My son loves to swim on their pools although some pools have waterslides but it's ok. My husband likes their hot breakfast its not just a simple continental breakfast and i just love their pancake makers. We always try to book on best western, they're comfortable to spend the night with.
Hotel has been nicely renovated throughout and room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast is very nice, the whole family enjoyed it. Great value for the money and the hotel is situated well for our needs.
This hotel looks really old and and not welcoming when you drive up and the location isn't great. But, inside is completely different! The rooms run along the outside of the interior of the hotel and there is a courtyard in the middle where the pool, bar and restaurant are. Rooms have all been updated and are nicely appointed, modern, and clean. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, underground parking was nice. There are not a whole lot of hotels in northwest Calgary and if we had to stay in that quadrant again, would definitely consider staying here.
It was a night to remember. Me and my husband are very happy we picked the Best Western Village Park Inn. All their team are very accommodating and exceeded our expectations. Will definitely recommend to others who are looking for a great place to celebrate their special occasion. The banquet assistant manager "Karine" was superb.
This is a very comfortable hotel with good amenities. The restaurant serves good food and when having to go to the hospital it is very easy to get to and 5-10 minutes away. I would recommend this property.
The room we stayed in has been recently renovated. Very nice touches, like a safe in the room, and clean TV remote in a bag. Large mounted TV was easy to see. I can easily get into the shower, though it is narrow, and this room was also close to the restaurant and elevator. I enjoyed the thick beds, and high tables. There was nicely placed plug-ins for the CPAP machines, and space to set the machines up. Breakfast was free with the room, now people you do get a slip of paper when you seat down, this is not a bill or to get extra tips, but it is a way to account for the breakfast to a room. From the look of it it is the best way to do it. They have a great underground parking, the doors were easy from me to get through to the underground, I move slow with a walker. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. There was no noise that I heard in my room. The place was very clean. I enjoyed my stay and intend to go back.
This hotel is either a recent reno or a new construction. We had not come across it in the past when searching for accommodation in Calgary. We will certainly stay here again! It is close to the university/hospital as well as restaurants and the TransCanada Hwy. Pleasant staff and very comfortable rooms. Of note is the 5-floor atrium, making each room open onto a pool-side balcony. Breakfast starts at 6:30, later than usual.
Clean rooms and hotel overall. Great food, buffet breakfast is full, big, lots of choices and included with room fee. Price was reasonable $116 plus taxes, DMF, etc fees. Great food for supper in the restaurant/bar. Best homemade hamburger and my husband's steak was very good too. A bit pricey $70 but then I had 2 lovely glasses of wine with supper. Beds, bedding, toiletries very nice. The TV remote is cleaned and put in a little sack. Nice touch.
We enjoyed our stay . My husband was a 5 minute walk from his course and our daughter could pick me up and we spent a full day Christmas shopping. The second day of the course and our checkout was handled by express checkout so I needed to do nothing because I thought my husband had already taken care of it. Things worked out in the end. We really enjoyed our stayed,everything was very comfortable.
Very nice hotel. Bed beyond comfy, room decor modern and clean. Beautiful bathrooms. Hubby love the TV. Very cool set up of hotel. All ameneties right on site. Lounge, Restaurant, commisary, pool, hot tub. Guest services very friendly and helpful. Would stay again !!
Stayed here for a conference being held at the hotel. Good hotel near the University. The block it is on has a cluster of several hotels. I like the front desk service were good. The furniture in the room was modern, everything was clean. I was surprised by the buffet breakfast, I was expecting typical fair for an included continent breakfast, this was much better, nice fresh fruit, and hot dishes. C-train is a short walk away, it would be good if they improved the access but otherwise ok. I usually stay downtown when in Calgary, with c-train access I would reconsider staying here.
I have positive impressions of this hotel. The room was very tidy and appealing, also rather spacious. It was a pleasure to stay there. There is a swimming pool just inside the hotel. Unfortunately I didn't have time to swim there, but it looked cool! The breakfast (buffet) was included, and it was very nice. The menu was simple, but there was enough choice and the food items were very good, so I was also happy with that one :) The hotel is located in an industrial area, so there isn't that much to see. But there are a couple of nice parks, and you can also take a train that will bring you to the city centre in some 15 minutes, I think.
Location is great for easy access to the McMahon Stadium if you're into Stamps games.I'm not a fan of the hotel layout - rooms arranged along a long open corridor which overlooks what would be a courtyard in an office block, but is the dining room. Almost dormitory-like in its layout. There really isn't much of a view here - you're either facing the highway, the parking lot or an office block, so if you're into views, this is not where you want to be. However, other than these, our stay was pleasant. Check in and check out were quick and easy. Breakfast was the best part of this stay. It was delicious and plentiful. Lots of variety in what was available. Wifi was good enough and was free. Altogether not a bad stay.
Poor access to city transit (C-Train). If you have a large vehicle and under ground parking is not available, and you have no rear access to hotel. Only one way in and out. Poor front line service. A lot of noise from breakfast room to hotel room in am. No security in the night, alot of young guys hanging around front of hotel looking through planters etc. Made us feel that the vehicle may not be safe outside. We are Diamond members and this is the worst Best Western we have ever stayed at.
Was in town with my wife and daughter for a concert. The hotel is well located near the University of Calgary. The check-in process was welcoming and efficient, so too was checking out. It's great to have the convenience of a lounge, restaurant and good to know the great conferencing opportunities. I forgot my bathing suit tho! Next time...!
This hotel is really convenient for Banff and the Rockies. It is also ideal to get to the airport and downtown. The hotel has been refurbished and is a funky design. The rooms are adequate and clean. We had an awful experience having lunch in the restaurant. The waitress was shocking and rude. She was impatient with my elderly parents and would substitute a soap that was more appropriate for a health issue and told my young son he couldn't have garlic bread that came with his pasta! I could go on but the picture should be clear. The lunch was adequate. In fairness, I shared with the manager our experiences with the waitress (only one, the second one was helpful and friendly). The manager was also helpful and refunded some of the meal and room rate. We weren't after the discount but simply wanted to highlight our concerns. That experience overshadowed our stay and breakfast the next day felt uncomfortable. It was just one staff member who tarnished the stay which was otherwise fine. The pool was a perfect temperature and we enjoyed the hot tub.
We have stayed on a number of occasions. Good parting underground, clean pool for the kids, and excellent breakfast for the money spent. Would recommend for an evening out or a weekend away with the kids. Rooms updated and central location. Close to the children's hospital and have always been accommodating. Would recommend !
RV and bus parking. Beverages and Appy's complimentary 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Free breakfast. 6:30 am. Close to bus and train for commuting. Staff are courteous and helpful. Stayed on 3rd floor. Open concept of pool and hot tub in centre. Dining room. Bar and grill. We had an ok dinner. Menu has lots of options. Room was clean. Bathroom small. Definitely would not fit a wheelchair. No fan. Very good beds. Lots of towels and toiletries. Not sure about noise as hotel not busy. My head hit the very comfortable pillow and I was out. Coffee machine is single cup. Fridge and microwave. Good tv.
Picked this hotel for location to daughter's university, pool and buffet breakfast. Very easy to get to downtown and freeway. Breakfast buffet was wonderful and staff were friendly. Pool and hot tub were very clean. Only thing I would do different would be to request a room on the opposite side of the pool as it was noisy with kids on our last night. Will stay here again.
Very good and caring staff, the restaurant was excellent on quality and price. Good room service. Breakfast was also excellent and incl. in price. The rooms where clean and up to date. Beds where also comfortable. I would stay there again
On Friday and Saturday there were approximately 12 ( no I'm not exaggerating) kids around 6 - 10 years of age running amok throughout the hotel. The noise was unbearable. While I primarily blame the parents, the hotel staff could have done more to curb the noise. This hotel is an open concept and we couldn't even sit in the bar and enjoy a quiet drink, the noise was that bad !!!!!!!!
We had Great service, the beds & pillows were very comfortable,the rooms very clean. Nice to have underground parking. The free breakfast was plentiful with a good variety, this service allows one to eat and get quickly get on with their day. We ate 2 suppers and the service was great, food very tasty. Close to Foothills hospital & they have a special rate for those spending time at the hospital.
We were very pleased with this hotel. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the breakfast. The room was very nice and clean. We parked our car underground which was very safe and was included. Overall I would recommend this hotel.
We received a 50th anniversary gift from our children to go to Tenors concert in Calgary..We decided to make an evening out and not try to drive 2 hours after the concert so ....We had a great evening out with a nice dinner out, then listening to good music & entertainment followed by a restful night and complete complimentary breakfast..
Again--a most pleasant stay--clean--quiet-even though there was a wedding on the Saturday night of our stay. Restaurant has a great steak dinner, and very pleasant wait staff. the front desk staff was welcoming and pleasant as usual. this is a regular place for us to stay--close to the hospital where we needed to be and close to main roads for easy access to and from shopping areas.
