Ramada Calgary Downtown

I recently stayed in a room in downtown Calgary. The room itself was clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. However, it’s clear the building is quite dated—especially noticeable in the bathroom, which could definitely use a refresh.nnFor the price point, I’d say it’s in the mid-to-higher range, so expectations are naturally a bit elevated. One of the standout positives is the rooftop pool—definitely a great feature, especially in the summer. The location is also central, which is convenient for exploring downtown.nnOn the downside, parking was a hassle. There didn’t seem to be any designated parking, and the front desk suggested using street parking, which is only free until 7 a.m.—not ideal if you’re hoping to sleep in.nnOverall, it’s an okay place to stay if you can get it at a good rate. The main draws are the central location and the rooftop pool, but be aware of the parking situation and the dated feel of the building.nnAlso some other key points.nnThe pool was extremely coldnnAnd I wouldn't even bother requesting late check out. They couldn't offer it.nnAnd entertainment is lacking in the area.nnThe buffet for 17 bucks a person on top of the price for the quality of the buffet does lower it as well too. The food was good but limited options.

We stayed there two nights. Overall a very old hotel which you definitely see in the rooms.nnGood for a stopover but nothing special.nnSo don’t have big expectations and then you will be fine with this accommodation

The rooms were dated and could have been cleaner... there was a dark mark from dust just above the air duct.nThere were comments about in room dinning. I could not find anything about it.nPool was not heated or was at a low tempture my daughter would not even swim in it.nIssues beyond the hotels control the loud car nosie from the street. Soundly like they were filming a fast and furious movie all night long.nnBed was comfortable.

The staff are really great, the location is great and the hotel is very clean. At check in, they had said there's underground guest parking with a valet. I assumed it was included but I guess it was 20.00/night extra.nnThe rooms were clean, bed was comfortable and the shower was good. No fridge in the room which surprised me. Lots of amenities in this hotel!

Staff are fantastic. Bed super comfy. Great pressure in the shower. Excellent central location downtown. So many great restaurants near by. The biggest issue is how thin the walls are, so you can hear EVERY little thing around you. Conversations in the next room were loud and clear, the TVs in another room sounded like they're all happening in your own room - half the night. Outside noise is also quite loud. The only other negative is the $23/per night parking. Because of the noise, I don't think I'd stay here again, especially in the summer if the pool was open as the noise would even be worse.
