Having recently stayed at the FPS Calgary Airport (which I gave a glowing review), I had pretty high expectations for this location. Well, it was certainly a step down. This is basically a nicer motel, with much to recommend it. The rooms are a good size, beds very comfortable, wi-fi worked well. There is no safe for your laptop and our room only had a shower. But there was a small fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board.
Probably the biggest disappointment was the pool which closes at 9 and only opens its waterslide for a few hours on Sundays. Really, if you put a waterslide on your web page, it should actually be open sometime each day.
Front desk staff were helpful. Room service was mediocre. Mostly because they wrapped the breakfasts in cling wrap before putting the covers on the plates and the steam made everything soggy.
Snowy, icy sidewalks were never cleaned the whole time we were there, so walking in the from the parking lot was tricky.
The surrounding area is rapidly developing, but right now there are few sit-down restaurants nearby. read more
