The breakfast experience at Residence & Conference Centre - Calgary appears to be a mixed bag with a plurality of guests reaping positive benefits from it. Many guests found the breakfast to be good, great, fantastic, amazing and convenient. The breakfast was often described as healthy and sufficient with some guests appreciating the varied options provided. The service at the breakfast was also noted to be polite and pleasant.
However, several reviews highlight some areas for improvement. Descriptions such as "average" and "okay" were mentioned with instances of lack of protein, minimal gluten-free options and an abundance of refined carbs and sugary foods. Some guests noted that the breakfast was "deflated" or "below standard," with specific criticism directed at the absence of hot foods, mainly featuring cold selections like juice boxes, bread and bananas. There were also mentions of dry pastries and weak coffee.
While some guests were satisfied with the breakfast offering, others found it lacking and even unacceptable with stark comments about limited choices and minimal variety. Despite these criticisms, there is a general appreciation for the convenience of having breakfast included in the stay, contributing to a balanced start to the day for many travelers.
Residence & Conference Centre - Calgary offers a clean and modern building with rooms that are often described as remarkably clean. The two-room suites are particularly noted for being nice and well-maintained, featuring separate kitchens. However, the decor leans heavily on an industrial aesthetic with concrete walls and basic furniture, which can feel quite stark and unwelcoming.
While some guests appreciate the supply of fresh towels, bed sheets and toiletries, the lack of air conditioning is a significant drawback. The rooms tend to be extremely hot with some guests likening them to saunas. The absence of fans or air conditioning makes temperature regulation challenging, leading to uncomfortable stays.
The rooms, resembling student dormitories, can feel rather spartan and uninteresting with bare concrete floors and walls contributing to a very minimalist feel. Despite these drawbacks, the provided breakfast includes a variety of options like eggs and sausage with made-to-order omelettes being a tasty highlight.
Overall, the accommodation is clean but very basic and can be uncomfortably hot, combined with a utilitarian design that may not appeal to everyone.
Guests staying at the Residence & Conference Centre in Calgary have shared mixed experiences regarding the beds. Many have highlighted that the beds are noticeably high, which could be a potential inconvenience for some. Additionally, comfort levels have varied widely among guests with several describing the beds as uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable or even rock hard. Some mentioned the beds felt like those in a dormitory or a shelter. On a more positive note, there have been mentions that contradict these claims with at least one guest finding the bed to be comfortable. It seems that the bedding itself, including its fabric, does not always meet guests' expectations with some considering it to be of lower quality. The overall consensus suggests significant room for improvement in both comfort and bed height to better accommodate guests' needs.
Residence & Conference Centre - Calgary has garnered mixed feedback regarding cleanliness from its guests.

Travelers who have stayed at the Residence & Conference Centre - Calgary have highlighted both pros and cons in their experiences with the parking facilities. On the positive side, guests appreciated that parking was free, which is a great convenience and cost-saving feature. There is also mention of dedicated motorcycle parking, which suggests some level of accommodation for different vehicle types.
However, many reviews note that the parking situation is far from ideal in terms of its location. The parking facilities are often described as being a significant distance from the main building with some estimating up to a kilometer away or a 10-minute walk. This distance was particularly inconvenient for those with heavy luggage or mobility concerns, as there were no carts available for assistance and no handicap parking directly in front of the building.
In addition to the distance, guests found the parking difficult to locate with reports of poorly labeled garages and general confusion finding a space initially. While the free parking is a notable plus, the logistics and convenience of accessing the parking could benefit from improvements to better serve future guests.
