Editor's Analysis
Updated on Aug 15, 2012
Overview
This boutique-style hotel is located on Blackfoot Trail, which is a major north-south artery in Calgary's southeast quadrant, about a 14-minute drive south of the downtown area. The Chinook Centre is nearby (a 7-minute drive) and has a wide selection of shops and restaurants. This hotel is popular with guests who want to stay slightly outside of the downtown area, and who have access to a car.

There are 200 rooms at this hotel, and guests can choose from king or queen beds in rooms of varying sizes. In all rooms, guests should expect free Wi-Fi, a hair dryer, an iron and an ironing board, a flat-screen TV and a coffeemaker. Pets are permitted for a cost of $10/night, and parking is available on site free of charge.

On-site amenities include a gym, a heated outdoor pool, a whirlpool and in-room massage. This hotel also has a comedy club on site, with shows running Thursday-Saturday. Guests can dine on site at Green's Restaurant, open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Many of Calgary's main attractions are located in the downtown area, including the Stampede Corral, Glenbow Museum and the Calgary Tower, which are all 15 minutes away by car. For guests travelling by air, Calgary International Airport (YYC), is about a 22-minute drive (25 km). (Distances and driving time estimates: Google Maps.)

Confirmed with a front desk agent: Wi-Fi and parking (call date: August 9, 2012).

Verified Guest from Surrey, BC CA rated Blackfoot Inn 9 out of 10 on June 28, 2010 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"If you have a vehicle, the location provides excellent access to everything. The hotel has a resort style feel. The outdoor pool was attractively landscaped. The steam room, jacuzzi and exercise room were all well maintained. As we were sharing a room with 2 teenage boys, bathroom linens were in short supply. The hotel was an excellent choice for our family. Business travelers with a vehicle would be equally impressed."
