Best Western Calgary Centre Inn

We checked into Bestwestern Plus Calgary Centre Plus at the earliest time possible at 3pm. The hotel is located not far from the Chinook Centre Mall. Check-in at around 3pm went smoothly. Free coffee was available in the lobby, although the coffee was instant Nescafe and not brewed. The room was slightly larger than average, newly furnished, with a clean, maodern look, and came with a fridge, kettle. microwave, and 2 Queen beds. There were basins both inside and just outside of the bathroom, which was handy of one person ins occupying the bathroom. Free complementary hot and cold breakfast was served from 7am to 10am in a room in the basement across from the indoor pool. Breakfast included bread, cereals with milk, fruits (apples and bananas), sausage and eggs, cooked oats (with cranberry, walnuts and granola toppings), and make your own waffles. Hotel guests can park for free in the front limited spaces) and rear of the hotel.

Dont waste your money on upgrading to a suite unless you want to bath in others filth. They may clean the tubs, but the jets need to be deep cleaned (removed and cleaned) or replaced. The pool would probably be nice in the summer until last fall months but in the winter months even doing laps wont warm you up. for $180 a night not worth it.

The check-in was very polite and competent. The quiet room at the back of the hotel we got on request was spacious and the beds very comfortable. We really liked the fact that proper plates and cutlery are used for the good breakfast instead of the usual plastic things. A nice touch was the coffee machine at the reception, where you could make yourself really good cappuccino, cocoa or tea at any time. Another big plus is the great connection to the city center by light rail - a station can be reached in 5 minutes on foot.
