Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's prime location, noting it as a major highlight. However, many voiced serious complaints about the service quality, with numerous reviews citing poor customer service experiences during check-in and ongoing requests. Cleanliness issues were also noted, particularly with linens and odor in some rooms. The hotel seems to struggle with aligning its amenities and offerings, such as breakfast and free parking, with guests' expectations for a four-star establishment, leading to perceptions of poor value for price. While some aspects like the hotel’s historical charm were appreciated, many guests expressed disappointment regarding their overall experience.

Pros (+) The hotel was very quaint and kept much of it's rustic charm. It was clean and quiet. The staff were kind and courteous.
Cons (-) I was disappointed that the only rooms that had WiFi access were on the gold floors. I was offered to upgrade to the gold floor for an additional $100. The receptionist failed to mention the price was per night. A nice little sticker shock. Also I find it odd that a hotel the caliber of the Palliser would not offer WiFi

Pros (+) This building has a beautiful old world feel atmosphere. Downtown Calgary feels like it has really died off with the current recession but you'd never notice once inside the hotel. Lots of happy and polite people everywhere. We will definatly return.
Cons (-) We requested a newspaper in the morning but it didn't arrive for our two day stay.
