I booked through expedia & stayed for 2 nights. First, you will notice the rooms are "nonrefundable"- that is because as soon as you see your room & the hotel you will want to leave & get your money back.They make sure this is not possible.. Hotel California? The rooms on the 4 th floor are EXTREMELY smoky. I requested... More

We were desperate after falling asbestos sent us into sudden renovations. The manager gave us a great rate for seventeen days and the entire staff was amazing. Everyone, including: front desk, cleaning staff, breakfast staff, maintenance, the manager and the owners were friendly and helpful. With a king bedroom, microwave, fridge, brand-new sofa bed, who could ask for more? But... More

Price was the determining factor for our "girls" weekend trip but we would save longer in future to upgrade from this budget hotel. Sharing the hotel with a couple of Hockey teams while their parents partied in the breakfast room did not make for a pleasant weekend! The security staff were very busy handling the complaints from us and other... More

This is an okay hotel. We got a deal because we booked online early.we stayed in the king suite with 2 pull out couches. The couches could be replaced or fixed up. They are really worn out. The pool is great! The breakfast was convienient. The location was poor for us as we were traveling to banff and other activities... More

Just came home from a weekend in Calgary where we stayed at the Super 8 in South Calgary/Shawnessy. It was a typical Super 8 with free breakfast (not bad) and free wifi (very good). Parking was free as well. The hotel was clean and beds were comfortable, but the carpet could use an update. We stayed in room 205, which... More

My family and I stayed here on Christmas. We parked in the back behind the hotel because the front parking lot was full. The back door was locked and was not accesable with the hotel key card so we had to walk around to the front in the dark carrying our heavy luggage. Once inside the older man standing behind... More

I chose to stay at the super 8 because it was close to spruce meadows where I was competing. I called at the start of the month to book for 3 nights at the end of the month. I wanted to book over the phone and so I called Calgary directly. I got a very nice girl on the phone... More

It was evident from the rate code and rate provided that the guest had a prepaid, non-cancellable, non-refundable reservation. Notwithstanding, we refunded her money. I, as manager, can categorically state that I have never hung up on a guest unless the guest was beligerent. More

My husband & I stayed here one night. We were in Calgary for a wedding but were travelling to Lethbridge early the following morning. We chose this hotel for that reason. I have found over the years that the reputation of Super 8's has really gone downhill, but the reviews on this one sounded hopeful. Our room here was very... More
