7/18/2010 1 Check-in Here

Location is great, as are the beds.  Starbucks in the lobby.  Lots of great restaurants within a short walk.  Nice indoor pool and fitness room with updated equipment.  Rooms have good TVs but lacks free internet.  Valet parking takes a long time to retrieve your car.  Minor problems were handled with quickly and thoughtfully by the managers.

We stayed here because we got in very late from a flight and b/c it was stampede period, most economical hotels in the city were outrageously priced. We lived here off our points. I wasnt happy that they charge for parking (no selfparking) $35 on weekday and $25 on weekends (this hotel caters to the business clientele). Although we technically arrived after 12:30 midnight, we were still charged $35!! It's ok, I definitely won't pay for this hotel b/c it's too overpriced.

We stayed at the Calgary Marriott for one night during Stampede Week.  We have never heard of this phenomena until that day.  We stayed over night and off to a long business meeting the next day.  Suffice it to say, Stampede Week - Canada's version of the Wild Wild West - was quite annoying, especially after just arriving from a holiday in richly cultured and historical Istanbul (Turkey).

My room was on the 15th floor with a direct view of Calgary's phallic symbol - the tower.  The room was a basic business hotel that felt more like a "Courtyard" than a regular Marriott.  The bathroom included very basic fixtures and tiles (no marbles or German/Italian finishing) and minimum amenities - lotion, shampoo and conditioner.

My stay was pleasant, nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary.  It was a very ordinary pleasant experience.
