I had slipped in the bathroom and suffered a severe gash to the back of my head. There concern was that I had over slept and missed checkout time. So they woke me up there were large amount of visible blood. They simply billed for a late check out and put me in a taxi. No help offered no compassion just pay the bill and go

Beautiful building in a prime location. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open when I was there, however there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance that are also very nice. The staff and service was incredible. We will be staying here again in the future.

We ordered room with river view, instead we had view on parking lot. Really discomfortable that you don’t have some flip flops after the shower, doors need big push to get locked, light switches not by the night stand by the bed. Room was comfortable, bit and nice bathtub.

A beautiful large room with quality fittings and bed. Plenty of room for 2 large suitcases, large and comfortable bathroom with quality towels and accessories. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast included - simple but very welcome. And within the lovely Kensington Village locale with great cafes and restaurants and a wonderful village vibe. Just across the bridge from downtown Calgary. Highly recommend this great hotel.
