The hotel is in a convenient location in downtown Calgary, perfect for exploring the city on foot. The rooms, while showing signs of age and having a musty odor, are adequate for a shorter tourist stay. The service was friendly and accommodating, even providing a fan when needed, but some inconveniences led to a room change. The dining options were average and required several refills, and I found the additional $17 for breakfast a bit steep. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

Upon arrival, my family had trouble reaching me at first due to issues with the phone system, which caused concern and confusion. The room was very cold with old windows and doors letting in drafts from everywhere, worsened by a broken toilet. However, after a long flight, the room was eventually clean and somewhat comfortable.

My stay at the Ramada Plaza was a mixed experience. The room, while spacious and with a comfy bed, was a bit dated and not as clean as I would have liked. On the upside, the location was fantastic, allowing easy access to downtown and various attractions. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with a disappointing buffet. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money was reasonable overall.

I found the hotel to have mixed feelings. The rooms, while of a good size, were noisy due to pipe issues, which disrupted my sleep multiple times with clanging noises. The location was convenient for exploring bars and restaurants, but the building itself felt a bit run down and in need of refurbishment. The service was friendly overall, yet I had some disappointments, especially during breakfast and late-night check-in. The dining options were satisfactory but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. I found the location great, near many restaurants and shops downtown, but it was a bit farther than I expected. The rooms, unfortunately, were uncomfortably cold, and being next to the elevators on the top floors didn't help. The service provided by the friendly staff members, however, was efficient and thorough, especially on weekends. The dining experience was pretty good and reasonably priced, but the lack of continental breakfast was a downside. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the amenities offered.
