Overview
Located in Calgary's southeast quadrant, approximately an 11-minute drive from Southcentre Mall (one of Calgary's largest), this hotel is also located close to Macleod Trail (north-south), which is about a 2-minute drive away. The hotel's pool makes it a popular option for families.

All of the 85 rooms at this hotel have a microwave, a mini-fridge, free Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, an iron and ironing board and a hair dryer. Guests can choose between standard rooms with either king or queen beds, or more spacious suites with a separate bedroom (some of which can sleep up to 6). Pets are permitted at this hotel for an additional $15/night.

While there is no restaurant located on-site, guests are offered a complimentary continental breakfast daily. There are dining options located within a 5- to 10-minute drive of this hotel. On-site amenities include an indoor pool, a hot tub, a gym and a waterslide. On-site parking is available for free as well.

This hotel is about a 7-minute drive from Spruce Meadows, a world-class horse jumping facility and complex, as well as Fish Creek Provincial Park, touted as one of the largest urban parks in Canada. Heritage Park Historical Village is about a 17-minute drive away. The downtown Calgary area (where the business district and other attractions like the Stampede Corral and the Calgary Tower are located) is about a 23-minute drive to the north. The C-Train is about a 7-minute walk away, and gives guests another option to access the downtown area. Guests travelling by air should plan for about a 31-minute drive to get to Calgary International Airport (YYC). (Distances and driving time estimates: Google Maps)
