The location of the property is fantastic. The property itself is nothing special but good enough to enjoy your stay.

Overall good stay

For the price point it was a good deal, definitely older building, thin walls and lots of traffic noise, but that’s to be expected being downtown. Very unfortunate that there was no parking. Street parking was terrible and they paid lot was a good five minute walk away and was very expensive.

Decent place if it was clean

I stayed in a bachelor style apartment for 1 night. The host messaged me asking if I could switch to a different apartment within the same building. The layout was the same as the room I booked so I agreed when he said I’d get a 10% discount. The room was decent, but it was not cleaned to the standard I would expect. The blinds and windows were gross, light fixtures covered in dust and fingerprints and dirt on the cupboard doors. I never received the 10% discount back despite the host saying it would be credited to my card. I will not be staying here again

An inquiry about the space was sent two days before check-in. It was never acknowledged. Check-in information as sent included the keypad code to the room, but not the building. I was left stranded outside in a back alley in downtown Calgary until a resident took pity on me and let me in. Once in, a quick room check showed bits of food left in the microwave and a sticky table (after I'd set my purse on it). There were crumbs IN the bed and fresh stains on the sheets. When I asked the host for clean sheets at 4:15pm, host chose instead to defend his housekeeping staff (even after seeing the photo) and dithered back and forth until nearly 10:00pm, at which point he said it was too late and he'd send fresh sheets in the morning. 09:45am, two sets of twin/standard sheets arrived for a double bed. I used the emergency blanket from my vehicle for the remaining three nights of my stay. It's not fancy, I knew it was a little rough around the edges, but I'm stunned by the lack of professionalism and hygiene.
Trying to fit a replacement standard sized sheet on the double bed in the room.
