Yes lacking a lot and no support from Expedia also at We checked into this hotel, and within minutes, a man there tried to scam us. As soon as we entered the room, the TV remote started working automatically without anyone touching it. The receptionist then began telling strange stories about the hotel being haunted, claiming they’d had “sightings” before. He even said he had a “kit” with garlic and holy water and could bring it to our room. It was clear he was trying to scare us, so we left within an hour — but he never refunded our money. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever checked into. Total scammers — do not deal with them at all ..

Fantastic location, great pools & steam room next door. Very clean and comfy room. I have stayed in many other hotels in the area and this one is tough to beat for value. They are evolving to offer even better value as time goes on. For the budget conscious traveller, it's a great find! Close to the Bow River and numerous walks.

Exception staff, cleanliness of room and view! The only thing that precludes me from giving 5 stars is the overpowering smell of cannabis in the hallway, elevator,—-pretty much everywhere except our room. Though we were on a no smoking floor, we we accosted with a strong scent of cannabis as soon as we left the room. Also, we found it to be a little bit misleading, that the promised pool, hot tub, and sauna were not part of the hotel, but the property across the parking lot. Otherwise, great staff and view!
