John and Kim were amazing hosts. They were very attentive and answered any and all questions we had about the house. The inn is gorgeous. The location is great, a very quick drive to downtown. A quick walk around the corner to some shops and restaurants as well. Absolutely lovely, will definitely stay again.

Place looks more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, but the place was beautiful and well kept. It was close to downtown and Kensington, but far cheaper. John and Kim were very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

I was visiting Calgary for a work conference and needed an affordable place to stay within short driving distance to the BMO Centre and this place was perfect! The host family was really nice and attentive and my room was extremely comfortable. It was slightly warm in the room but after mentioning it to Kim she brought me a fan! I would definitely stay here again if I ever visit Calgary and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay that’s close to downtown.

i would never book this again. i booked early check i , and was told to come back later. they have cheap plastic flip flop shoes you are supposed to wear to your room. It is not an Inn, it is a boarding house, it is totally misrepresented. I had to go and book a different room, and booking is not refundable, so it was a waste of money

We were there to visit a family member at Foothills Hospital. It was the perfect location because it was a 10 minute drive to the hospital but walking distance to morning coffee and dinner. Exactly what we needed.

The place has a beautiful and luxurious interior as pictured, the woodwork and detail are like none I've ever seen before. It is a unique stay that is good for occasions! I will come back whenever I'm in Calgary again.
The mattress was great. The place is very clean and comfortable and the hosts were welcoming and kind.

The interior design was absolutely gorgeous. John and Kim were very polite and welcoming. They ensured we had everything we needed and provided a complimentary fruit tray after we were settled in. I would highly recommend this high end establishment over a hotel any day
