Ok if stricter "teams" or kids group bookings

A case of bad luck or do all hotels need to be stricter with kids? They booked a boys baseball team or two, the unholy ruckus. 10 boys to one adult (ignoring the mayhem) in the small pool = no swimming. The breakfast buffet was a no go. The ceiling shook from the elephant stampede, forget sleep. They warn you that there is never enough parking, it's even worse if you arrive 'late afternoon' so be prepared. It is very close to transit, leave it parked, or you'll lose that spot. To be fair I thought the rooms were average, no issues there. I caught COVID while in Calgary and staying here, I recommend taking precautions.

WARNING TO PEOPLE TRAVELING WITH PETS - this hotel will tuck you into the 'pet area', which is a line up of rooms in a dark, dingy corner of the hotel, that smells like chemicals, and is right above the unbelievably loud generator for the building next door. You will pay full price for an awful room, without any warning! For that much, you can get a much nicer place in a different hotel

The food was poor quality. The hospital food is better . There were bugs in the room. A spider bit my daughter . We could not use the swimming pool because they rent it out . This is not stated for possible guests . The beds are awful, feels like a giant soft pillow . Will never stay here again or recommend.

Property is located about a couple short blocks from the rail transit - worked great for Calgary stampede. Staff was super friendly - as an FYI there's no need to purchase the $8 upgrade for room credit and parking. Parking is free at this location, and breakfast is included for all guests.
