We love everything about our experience with this beautiful hotel. A hidden gem in a quiet industrial area. Our amazing travel magician Matthew White of Majestic Escapes Travel Inc. recommended this very economical hotel close to the Calgary Airport (with shuttle) to help take some of the strain off from a chaotic trip home to Kamloops from Cuba. Due to an unforeseen issue their shuttle bus was out of commission so they sent a United Cab at their cost to fetch us from the airport; great friendly driver. The public area is beautifully furnished and decorated and Vishnu provided super check-in, offering late checkout for noon next day and prearranging the next day’s United Cab return trip to the airport. We dropped our bags in the very quiet high end and comfortable room (wow!!), complete with heated floors in tiled foyer and bathroom. I want to mention how clean and well cared for this room and the entire complex is; you obviously have exceptional staff in your Housecleaning Department and it shows. Vishnu had shown us where the restaurant and lounge was located so we went in and met Lloyd, the XS Lounge & Grill’s exceptional Maître d'hôtel. As there were only two other diners we spent a delightful couple of hours enjoying a few glasses of our favourite spirits sharing our travel story and chatting with Lloyd while he provided exceptional service. Our meal was memorable. Nirma, who was our Chef de partie, provided very appetizing Dry Ribs, the best New York Striploin we’ve ever tasted and the delicious Cajun Chicken Burger. Our sides with the meals were also very tasty. Thank you both! After a restful sleep we went back to the restaurant area for a fantastic Buffet Breakfast, tended to by a friendly young lady named Taniya. Our check-out experience continued in the same vein with the lovely smiling Vidhi as she and your delightful Concierge Vijay took care of our last needs. We were exclaiming about our delight for the whole time spent and honestly said if we didn’t live in Kamloops we would be there for dinner at least once a week and how surprised we are that Calgarians don’t seem to know about the amenities offered. The perfect place to wine and dine, superior rooms at extremely affordable prices and very obviously the perfect place to have a wedding or other social gatherings due to the lovely atmosphere and decor. When I mentioned that we will have Matthew White purposely book us into this hotel whenever we are in Calgary we got the chance to meet two other star performers you are lucky enough to have working for you. Keshari Lama, Sales Manager and Archana Blon, Catering Sales Manager came and introduced themselves and thanked us for staying with them and for all the compliments we had. Really lovely people in your establishment. Sorry if this is too long but I don’t want to forget anyone or any experience we had at this “last minute - need a bed due to flight changes” hotel experience we thought we were going to have. We cannot wait to come back and see you again. Thank you.
