On our trip to Calgary, we stayed at the Sandman hotel downtown. It was great! Within walking distance of almost everywhere we wanted to go, and when it wasn't, the front desk staff called a cab for us! They even brought up a cot (because there ended up being 5 of us instead of the original 2 staying over) at no cost!
The pic was taken while we were wating for an elevator - the celing was mirrored, but Melissa forgot to take the flash off!!!
Underground parking for free! This is a big plus when its wintertime!

Sandman Hotel
by Breen
This hotel had a great location that was in walking distance to almost all major attractions. I walked to the center of downtown within a few minutes to all of the local bars so it was a great place to stay at. Since I was mostly looking around the downtown to the NW area of town walking was fine. Also it is directly on the light rail line so you can get anywhere quickly.
Rooms are pretty standard middle of the road fair, you have everything you need for a comfortable stay!
Weird key elevator that is kind of scary at first if you don't know how to use it, I didn't properly enter my key to use the elevator, it went up to floor 5 or so then droppd back down to the lobby suddenly, was very strange!
We had 3 nights at the hotel, and was pleasantly surprised. The room was nice and clean, we got a corner room so good views from 2 sides. Goos choice of TV channels when we was in at night and the morning. Overall a great place to stay, especially at less that $90 CAD a night!
