Yes lacking a lot and no support from Expedia also at We checked into this hotel, and within minutes, a man there tried to scam us. As soon as we entered the room, the TV remote started working automatically without anyone touching it. The receptionist then began telling strange stories about the hotel being haunted, claiming they’d had “sightings” before. He even said he had a “kit” with garlic and holy water and could bring it to our room. It was clear he was trying to scare us, so we left within an hour — but he never refunded our money. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever checked into. Total scammers — do not deal with them at all ..

Fantastic location, great pools & steam room next door. Very clean and comfy room. I have stayed in many other hotels in the area and this one is tough to beat for value. They are evolving to offer even better value as time goes on. For the budget conscious traveller, it's a great find! Close to the Bow River and numerous walks.
