Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary South

Nice place to stay with family. The pool and hot were excellent .

The good: room size, pool and water slide, free breakfast on the residence side, super friendly service at the front desk and during breakfast, mountain views. Early check-in was available and 12pm checkout is nice. Well equipped kitchen, ice maker in the freezer. The bad: our room (216) was located right next to the gym meaning you can hear people dropping weights, which was so loud that it made us jump. Not good sound proofing - traffic was loud, waking us up often and the footsteps above us were like elephants, thankfully they were quiet come 11pm.The AC in the unit went on around 4am and it was SO loud. It sounded like an idled car and someone squirting a spray bottle every second. This lasted for about hour and I’m guessing this unit also cools the gym directly next door. The bed was comfortable, pillows were terrible. Pullout couch extremely stiff to sit, bed was springy, lumpy, and uncomfortable, even for a small child. Only one working elevator, not a big deal as the hotel wasn’t super busy, it’s just inconvenient. I would recommend asking south or east facing windows / room (unless traffic doesn’t bother you as the mountain view is nice), top floor, and not near any facilities, including the elevator.

The carpet in our room was wet when we arrived. They told us it was from it being cleaned and that it will eventually dry. There was dark hair all over the bathroom door and in the bathtub when I went to give my daughter a bath. Our room ais right next to a very busy street and gets lots of traffic noise. When paying $300 a night, the room should be in a much better state. Our young child is finding it difficult to sleep with how the loud the noise is from the traffic.

Was charged extra for parking and breakfast finished by 9:00am not good for families
