Residence Inn Calgary South

Cannot turn on the tv. Not everyone welcomed you.

It’s a nice facility. Hot tub is great. The waterslide is loud so that detracts from being able to fully relax in the hot tub. However, the thermostat is frustrating. They’re also using the motion sensor system so at night because there is no movement, the heat turns off and you wake up freezing. We had crappy sleeps both times we’ve stayed there. Unfortunately we forgot about the thermostat issue when we booked the second time (this time). The blackout curtains don’t close properly and it’s is a very brightly lit area, so this also made sleeping well difficult. We were involuntarily signed up for their Marriott Bonavoy membership. This feels like a bit of a violation. I realize there are benefits to it, but I didn’t ask for this and it shouldn’t have been done. I found out by getting an email with my new account information. Parking…. What a joke. You pay a fair amount of money to stay at this place, yet you still have to pay for parking. It’s not much money, but that’s the point, it’s not much money so they shouldn’t charge you extra. It should be included when you’re spending almost $200, and sometimes more, per night to stay there. Other places that are still clean etc and less expensive include parking. It just makes it feel like a cash grab, and that feels gross. The heat and curtains issues are enough for us to not stay there ever again. We will get a better sleep, with comfortable enough amennities at another place on Glenmore that we’ve stayed at before.

Very uncomfortable pillows. Very hard. Used a couch cushion in the middle of the night. Yikes. Didn’t think I’d need to bring a pillow with me to a Marriot Hotel.

Couldn't believe there was no place to unpack your clothing. No drawers, and a very, very small closet. Which was unconvenient behind the door. Also, the carpet needed replacing it was vary worn

Good location, clean rooms and friendly staff, but for such a new building I was pretty surprised there were issues. Paid extra for a king bedroom and kitchen suite, unfortunately the Main tv did not work, and the pull out bed was terribly uncomfortable, my daughter ended up folding it back into a couch and sleeping on that instead. Also theres lots of noise from the parking lot and adjacent building, loud music from a party echoed through our rooms until 1 am. We decided not to stay a second night.

I traveled to Calgary with my elderly mother. Usually we get a hotel in two separate rooms this time we got the two bedroom two bathroom suite here. It's pretty much the same price as getting two separate hotel rooms but what a treat. It felt like coming home to your apartment and not in the hotel room. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. We're able to get a good night's sleep, but we're able to spend the evening together. It has a fully equipped kitchen and I mean fully equipped. It actually has an oven which many of these in suite kitchens don't have. The supplies are top notch not cheap garbage. You could even bake if you wanted to. It was a real enjoyment and we will go again. We didn't have the included breakfast but it looked lovely. We were too busy in our day to take advantage of it, but we always grabbed a coffee to go.

Nice property with decent breakfast, quite clean, very close to loads of restaurants and shopping, comfortable two bedroom suites.

Not to happy about having to pay for parking. Should be in hotel description and orice

The good: room size, pool and water slide, free breakfast on the residence side, super friendly service at the front desk and during breakfast, mountain views. Early check-in was available and 12pm checkout is nice. Well equipped kitchen, ice maker in the freezer. The bad: our room (216) was located right next to the gym meaning you can hear people dropping weights, which was so loud that it made us jump. Not good sound proofing - traffic was loud, waking us up often and the footsteps above us were like elephants, thankfully they were quiet come 11pm.The AC in the unit went on around 4am and it was SO loud. It sounded like an idled car and someone squirting a spray bottle every second. This lasted for about hour and I’m guessing this unit also cools the gym directly next door. The bed was comfortable, pillows were terrible. Pullout couch extremely stiff to sit, bed was springy, lumpy, and uncomfortable, even for a small child. Only one working elevator, not a big deal as the hotel wasn’t super busy, it’s just inconvenient. I would recommend asking south or east facing windows / room (unless traffic doesn’t bother you as the mountain view is nice), top floor, and not near any facilities, including the elevator.
