Avis Corporate Suites Calgary

unit we had was 2bdr/2 bath. Kate at checkin was helpful,curteous,friendly. Comfy stay.No charge for short-term rental parking. CTrain access good to Stampede Park

The condo was very spacious and furnished like an IKEA showroom (in a good way). Having a large TV and entertainment system in the living room plus TV/Cable in each of the 2 bedrooms was a great touch. We also appreciated the full kitchen (pans/pots, utensils, herbs/spices, Keurig machine plus enough capsules for the stay included) so we didn't have to eat out, as well as the washer/dryer. There's no hotel-style lobby check-in, which could be confusing, but the management company was kind enough to walk me through the process a few days before the stay, so it worked out smoothly. They also arranged parking in the parkade (extra charge). Since it's not a hotel, there's no housekeeping. You're responsibly for some clean up before checking out. Washing dishes (or at least get the dish washer started), plus collecting all the towels and linens to be washed. This was an acceptable compromise for us. We loved being in a upscale condo instead of a cramped hotel room. Location wise, there's a train station within walking distance plus grocery stores nearby. But you'll probably want a car for anything else. One negative, there were some dirty utensils that we had to wade through to get to the clean ones. This is probably because the tenants are responsible for the dishes. Overall, my family loved the place and we'd probably stay here again rather than staying at a hotel in Calgary.
