In my opinion, this hotel isn’t set up for long stays but that apart, it was excellent. Very clean, walking distance to everything you need and a very short walk to a bus to a nearby C Train station to downtown, Stsmpede, Flames stadium. Great (although North American type) pizza at the connected Charcut.
