My over all experience was very good at this hotel. Bathrooms needs some kind of additional cleaning. Details as well as the carpet, staff were helpful and accommodating.

Positives: Friendly staff, good down town Calgary location.

Negatives: Parking is expensive, delivery food is hard to get due to location & parking expenses on suppliers.

I enjoyed my stay at the Ramada Hotel. It was clean and comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The staff was really friendly and courteous.

Positives: I liked the cleanliness of the hotel, for a 2-star hotel it exceeded my expectations (I'd rate it at least a 2.5-3 Star)

Negatives: There was no fan in the bathroom and the bathroom was quite small and the room did not have a fridge or microwave.

Generally OK, except why the cards are not keyed for the entire stay.

Positives: Clean, generally helpful staff except the front desk.

Negatives: Cards are keyed for 48 hrs making it necessary to re-key them at all awkward hours. Not acceptable.

Staying at this hotel from may 30 to June 3, 2007, was a horrible experience. When I arrived from the rocky mountaineer train, check-in personnel were slow and confused about my reservation and luggage. During my entire four-day stay there was no air conditioning in room 324. The hotel provided a fan -- big deal! Now we had moving hot air. I reserved a room, not saunas. Other rooms in this fully-booked hotel also were without air conditioning and staff spent much time delivering fans throughout the hotel. If you can bring fans, you can fix the air conditioning. Room 324 is on the "executive floor" yet there is no desk, just a square table and no internet hook-up in the room. How can this qualify as a business environment? The walls, the floor, the tile, the doors, the curtains, the furniture were all in shades of beige and brown. Altogether, this was a crappy room in a lousy hotel. As a result of my experience, I am recommending that no other person in my organization stay there.

Positives: Enjoyed leaving this hotel.

Negatives: Hated sweating through hot weather with no air conditioning.

A clean, reasonable hotel in downtown Calgary. Not fancy but certainly nice. In-room free wireless Internet connection a plus. Very helpful staff.

Positives: Friendly and helpful staff.

Negatives: Nothing comes to mind.

Fair price for what you get. Which can be summed up in one word "location!"

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Mediocre beds.

The hotel is within a block of the c-train station and there are plenty of stores nearby, all within a block or two. Wireless internet is available for free, but there is no access to printers. Addition of a business center with printer, fax and pc would be great! There is also no alternative location nearby which has printer facilities. These are essential facilities for business travelers. Otherwise service and cleanliness was great.

Positives: Good central location.

Negatives: No access to printer for business travelers.

It was fine.

Positives: It was close to the airport.

Negatives: Parking was expensive and difficult to find.
