Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Calgary Downtown

The rooms are pretty dated, we got a king size room and it was very small inside. The hotel has centralized AC and each room is allegedly set to 20°, it was 21° outside and it felt nicer outside than it did inside. There’s no way to control the AC in your room, and it was super hot inside. We had to go and buy a fan for $20 from Canadian tire. We were told the AC would be fixed and set lower, I wish we had known there was no way to control it before we booked for the stampede. The valet service was great if you can get it. I called the front desk twice about the AC, and then about the restaurant, I was told I’d be called back but no one ever called. The location is great, but for the price the rooms need an upgrade and staff needs better customer service training for issues.

I recently stayed in a room in downtown Calgary. The room itself was clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. However, it’s clear the building is quite dated—especially noticeable in the bathroom, which could definitely use a refresh. For the price point, I’d say it’s in the mid-to-higher range, so expectations are naturally a bit elevated. One of the standout positives is the rooftop pool—definitely a great feature, especially in the summer. The location is also central, which is convenient for exploring downtown. On the downside, parking was a hassle. There didn’t seem to be any designated parking, and the front desk suggested using street parking, which is only free until 7 a.m.—not ideal if you’re hoping to sleep in. Overall, it’s an okay place to stay if you can get it at a good rate. The main draws are the central location and the rooftop pool, but be aware of the parking situation and the dated feel of the building. Also some other key points. The pool was extremely cold And I wouldn't even bother requesting late check out. They couldn't offer it. And entertainment is lacking in the area. The buffet for 17 bucks a person on top of the price for the quality of the buffet does lower it as well too. The food was good but limited options.

We had a great stay at the Ramada in Calgary! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from great diverse restaurants, bars, and everything we needed during our time in the city. It also turned out to be the ideal base camp for our long day trip to Banff, which made everything super convenient.||The room was comfortable and clean, and we especially appreciated the bathtub/shower combo with endless hot water after exploring. The area felt very safe, and the staff went above and beyond—everyone was so friendly and helpful. For the very reasonable price, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Calgary or looking for a jumping-off point to the Rockies!

Kelly, at the front desk, showed kindness, great customer service, knowledge of the festival "Cowboys" and Stampede festival. She acknowledged my worries and helped me get into a room even though they were close to full occupancy. Sarah, the Supervisor, was watching and helped make sure that I got into the most accommodating room available. Thank you for being so helpful for time in Calgary .

This place is very near the trams so was great. Also its located near shopping malls, cafes and restaurants. The in room facilities were sufficient albeit the condition is a little run down and dark especially the carpets. If you needed kettle you got to request. The AC is centrally controlled which is rather an ancient technology, i haven't been into a hotel where its centrally controlled for 15 plus years! If its too cold- you've gotta request for portable heater or extra blankets. Didn't try the other facilities in the hotel. Staff was reasonably friendly but they were really busy.

This hotel is significantly cheaper than most others in the area. The common areas are old, dark, and dirty. Reminded me of a dungeon when I walked in from the street. Everything about the room was old and patched together. I had to return to the lobby 3 times to get a working key for entrance to my room. I'm pretty sure there was gum stuck to the bathroom floor. Other than the run-down appearance and the gum, the carpets, bedding, and shower were very clean. I did not eat in the restaurant, so I can not comment on the food. The surrounding area (2 block walk to McDonalds) was filled with homeless and drug addicted people. They didn't seem to bother anyone, but I would absolutely not want to walk around with small children. Overall, I would consider staying here again as a last resort and only for a night. I would not consider this hotel for a family vacation or multiple days.

The hotel is in a safer area and is very clean, both inside and out. Our room was on the smaller side, but comfortable and clean. The beds were very comfortable so we had a great sleep. Overall the hotel was quiet, even though there were many guests there for the weekend. Our favorite part was the citrus water at the front desk, which was always full for us. I would definitely come back to stay at the Ramada Plaza.
