From the moment I checked in with such a friendly reception to the beautifully renovated rooms, my stay was well supplied and very clean. However, being near the back of the hotel with trains running all night made it less pleasant and a bit cramped to open suitcases. Still, I booked for this weekend.

The location was on noisy train tracks, but it's in Calgary for the final night of Calgary Stampede. Despite the noise, the area seems reliant on the Fairmont name, making it somewhat overconfident and neglectful of guest experience.

The hotel has lovely seating areas and chandeliers in a great location. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were clean and comfortable. The service was out of this world amazing, but the hot tub noise was a disturbance. The dining experience was VERY VERY GOOD. The parkade next to the hotel was convenient, however, hard to fit more than a couple of people for a workout in the open areas.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Calgary, making it an ideal position for exploring the city. The rooms were a bit too warm and had a strong cigarette smoke smell, causing discomfort. The service was excellent with friendly and professional staff. The dining experience was chaotic, indicating a lack of organization in handling busy mealtimes. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.
