I recently stayed at Hotel Arts in Calgary and had a mix of experiences. The hotel's location is fantastic—everything is within walking distance, and I didn't need my car at all. However, the pool was closed for renovations during my stay, which was disappointing. Additionally, I faced some issues with the service, particularly at the pool, where I felt taken advantage of. Overall, there were some highs and lows during my visit.

I recently stayed at Hotel Arts and while the location was fantastic for downtown access, the overall experience was a bit mixed. The decor and amenities felt upscale, but the room quality didn't quite justify the price we paid. The dining options were great, though not everything was perfect.

My room was reasonably clean, but I found it smaller than expected. it definitely lacked some luxury touches, especially considering the price point. I felt the mattress was just mediocre and the pillows were cheap. A bit disappointing for a higher-end hotel.
