In reviewing your reservation, we would first like to address the bed. Most of our rooms have had new mattresses placed, this room is one of those. The mattress popping up was fixed and would have been fixed if prior knowledge during your stay. The blanket in that room was a thick blanket will new heater, did not see the need of a bedspread. Cleaning service is provided, unfortunately you may have been missed or not in need at the time. We provide coffee upon request as we don't leave in rooms for sanitation purposes. We do apologize for that your stay was not what you were expecting, but hope you will see us again some day. Thank you and well wishes

Laura, Please do not lie. You were in our room 44 (smoking) a night before ,next day you booked our multiple studio which is exclusively a non smoking room. Besides that around 10 am same day police came looking for you and arrested you in the case of a stolen car, I saw hand cuffs in your hand and police dragging you towards their car, so this made me cancel the booking that we do not give room to those who are involved in police case. But I did not charge you any thing as I cancelled it. Regarding the room deposit, until 2o'clock we did not receive any key from police and they were here and we were constantly loosing customers, plus the room was very messy, so we did not give you the deposit but you were not leaving the premises so we paid 50 dollars to the taxi driver to drop you at your destination because you said that you don't have any money. The constable Arcega is the witness as we told him and he explained you everything.I am going to complain to him that you have brought false accusation on us that we charged you for the room.

If you book online, pay online. If you don't prepay online and decide to pay at the hotel. The hotel might bill you for more that your online reservation. I will never stay at The Red Carpet Inn in Calgary, AB ever again. Because it was old and dirty. But mostly because they cheated me as above. Hope this helps save other people some greif.

This is wrong. You booked this room on expedia 160+ tax+174.40. We charged you exactly same.We charged you 80 dollars as deposit, and next day we refunded you. We have the proof of all the receipts. I am trying to copy and paste here ,but some how not letting me to so. Please send me your email address. I will send you the receipts.Regarding old and dirty ,I will agree that it is definitely an old building but not dirty .It is very well maintained. Cleaners clean and sterilize then front desk agent double check and make sure that room is clean and everything which customer need is there.

This review is not correct at all as customer was there for one hour only. Two people were supposed to check in but the third person came and changed their plan to stay somewhere else. In order to get refund they put something in the kitchen sink ,but as our rooms are checked by our front desk agent after cleaners cleans it, they endorse it that the room has no problem and ready to rent. This room was endorsed too, so we told them that there was no problem before and if it is clogged after you checked in. Our staff is trained how to open the drain and remove the clog, but they refused that too. They called expedia but when Expedia called us and listened to us they believed us , so they left by saying that please do not send us big bill from plumber.

After clean up I myself came to ask you that we can clean further even the whole room we can clean but you said no its fine, I am happy ,I asked you twice and then thanked you.Regarding drogues and drunk we are very strict ,usually we dont get them but unfortunately an smoker came lied to me that he is non smoker and then was smoking near the nonsmoking room.so we were bit upset with him and that's what you might have seen.We apologize one more time if you got any inconvenience

Old, run down, and dirty. Hair in the bed sheets so not sure if they were ever washed from previous person. Housekeeping was vacuuming room next door late at night while we were trying to sleep.
Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023
Response from MM on 18 June 2023
Yes I do agree that this is an old building but its not right to say that it is run down because we do constant renovation. There might be an accidental hair remained in the bedsheet but that does not mean that we use the unwashed bedsheet from previous customer. This is so sad if you thought like that.In one of the room repair was going until late evening so night guy at the front desk tried to vacuumed it. I am sorry if your sleep got disturbed.

Clean but minimal.
The place was convenient to the trans Canada. Lots of parking and check in was fairly quick and easy. The room was clean and adequate. The bed was clean and comfortable. The room was tired though. The tub had rust on the base and not all of the lights worked. I didn’t use the fridge or microwave so won’t comment on them but they were there. There was a humpty restaurant next door but no coffee in the room. It was okay as a sleeping room on the way by but not with family.

Thank you for your realistic comments. Our rooms are clean and adequate. Our beds are comfortable. Staff is efficient and polished. Our micro oven and fridge are functional and clean. As this is the old building so tub might be slightly rusty but we make sure that it is clean.. Restaurants and parks plus river walk is close by walking distance.

It's ok if you're looking for a place off the Trans Canada, but can be a bit noisy due to the traffic. Good place to say if you need something along the way to Banff, Canmore, or COP. There was an instance were house keeping tried to come into my room even though I was laying in bed. I was not impressed with this.

Needs new beds
This is about a 50yr.old roadside motel of orig. basic construction. New owners it seems, who are obviously (slowly...) trying to fix it up (eg. repainting exterior when I stayed). Right on Hwy 1 into town from the west. It really really needs new beds (all units). And must shift to card-key for rooms. Still uses a regular key like for one's house. Bldg & all units need weatherproofing at doors & windows to keep cold air out in winter. And needs new Soundproofing layer(s) added between all units and between floors too.

The whole experience was unpleasant, they charged my visa even before we arrived. Had said when booking on line was "paying by another method" Had wanted to pay another way to avoid overseas conversion rate on money. They would not accept this and said it was "usual" to do this, This is the ONLY place during our 8 week holiday that did this! They also have an odd no smoking rule.

Sorry for the inconvenience if you found our prepayment setup inconvenient.In this method we do charge before customer checks inn and reserve a room for them whose payment goes through.So far you must have stayed in the hotels who have pre-authorized payment method.They have all your credit card information when you book online but they charge you at the check out time.We do have our non-smoking and smoking rules and guidelines.We do not give our non-smoking rooms to an smoker even they want to smoke outside.They are exclusively for the non-smoking folks.
