When you arrive here, the boxlike exterior is less than inspiring, but things brighten inside. The renovated rooms are classy and modern. Feather beds are hard to get out of, but there are lots of eating and shopping options nearby. The inn is 8km south of downtown Calgary on the arterial Macleod Trail. Breakfast is included to boot!
