Calgary International Airport

Econo Lodge Motel Village

Calgary

This hotel is probably useful for access to the airport and it's cheap. If staying for more than one night, the rooms are serviced daily. Which I have to say was needed considering it wasn't particularly clean in the first place. Staff were a bit unhelpful but ok in the end. I believe there is a shuttle service to the airport, but the transport vehicle looked like it would have trouble getting out of the driveway let alone get to the airport. The breakfast wasn't the best I've ever had but it sufficed. there was an alternative for breakfast as there was a Dennys Diner next door which gave 15% off for patrons of the hotel. There were a few sketchy people hanging around most of the time, a contributing factor may have been the presence of the Diner. There was also a derelict car in the car park near a side entrance to the hotel that had been there for months. The door locks to the room doors did not appear very secure. Finally, the repainting exterior of the building would not go amiss.

Not Sure about its security

200 char. limit, so I leave out +ve. B'fast jammed 4 tables into a 9' X 12' room, but the worst was at check-in when the clerk refused  to allow me to put my card in terminal with PIN to charge room. A scam.

Brothers Wickersham, Amazing

Honestly not the worst. I had to find a cheap hotel for one night due to a fatal highway collision en route here from Vancouver where I was delayed 5 hours, therefore missing my bus connection to Jasper where I’ll be working.

I could afford a nicer hotel but I’ve had to spend an extra $1000 on this move back to Alberta from Vancouver. 

I’m not sure what rooms other people were in but this place is decently clean. There are little complaints but nothing major. The tissue box was empty. I will survive though. 

My only complaint is that I’m a single female travelling without my bf and there were sketchy people in and about the place. But I don’t smoke so won’t be hanging around outside anyway. The room did smell deodorized and a bit stale like someone had smoked here before. 

I’m still here until I catch my bus in the morning but the lady at desk was nice and checked me in early (thank you) due to my bus canceling. I’m a little confused about the $100 incidental deposit on a $71 room but I’ll assume they chalk that up to all the sketchy people here and I’ll get mine back soon.

Not the worst, not the best

I booked on Expedia and of course checked in like a normal guest. Once I got to my room I looked around and it was an absolute mess. Some kind of sauce everywhere, white substance on the tv, hair on the pillow and garbage left out. I then walked back to the front desk and asked for my a refund because of what the stat of my room was. They then asked me to contact Expedia for this as I booked it through them. I did this and Expedia said that the hotel manager needs the approve this refund. I get that I need to contact Expedia for this but they need the managers approval is a bit absurd. I am now in another hotel and waiting for the manager to approve the refund. The employee lied to Expedia agent and said I was in the room for an hour and then came to the front desk for a refund. I did what any normal guest would do in a case like this. They did not offer me another room but I did say I wouldn’t accept another room if they offered it as my first room was disgusting. The employee said she need to check the room but then chose not to once she realized it was booked on Expedia. Lazy and smart on her part because I am sure she knows her manager will not approve the refund and will put someone else in this room. The staff was not unfriendly and did her job upon check in.

Very dirty room and property

We spent 1 night at this econolodge. We had trouble to find it first cause the GPS was indicating a road that was closed.

Finnally arrived, the smell of weed at the lobby and the funky employees didn't make us feel confortable.

The room was not clean and not really welcoming. The real problem was that the walls are like paper towel and we hear everything every laugh every words from the room next to us. 

We had to call 2 times the reception and they went to knock on their door to ask them politely to keep quiet. We felt bad because for us in a hotel every body can laugh and talk but rooms should be insolated. 

Breakfast was similar to an economic breakfast on a plane so not the best.

Not recommanded...

Loudy, unclean and bad service

Stayed one night. Had to call Alberta health and safety the day after I checked out as when I checked in sheets were dirty and all 3 towels in the bathroom were dirty with makeup, food and even one with BLOOD. They were (obviously!) horrified and began investigation... Bed was made and towels were folded nicely so cleaning lady wants to 'seem' like she is cleaning the rooms...but is not. YIKES if it was normal times but APPALLING during Covid times! When I approached manager, she explained, "Well, our cleaning lady is just very absent minded." !!!!! She offered minimal apology and actually then blamed it on me for not reporting it sooner, and offered no other excuse and entire staff made it clear that they were angry that I brought this to there attention. Also, on ground level, your window does not lock. So someone could cut screen while you are out and steal all your belongings. Horrifying (and illegal!) cleanliness standards and equally horrifying customer service. Trust me, Do NOT stay here under any circumstances. What good are masks and hand sanitizer if rooms are not being cleaned...at all? If you are that low on $ go to a shelter...it will be cleaner, safer and you will be treated much, much better!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL FOR ANY REASON EVER!

i have stayed at this property in the past. it wasnt really worth to review, when i stayed here recently with covid, it was very professional. When i checked in the front desk agent was super helpful. if wanting a good night sleep this is a good affordable lodging. Only thing i will add is the rooms are quite warm, keep heat to a medium or crack open the window.

budget friendly

Recent stay, friend using crutches. Staff were very helpful and ensured anything we needed was available. The room was clean and bright. The price was excellent, no “frills” but will definitely stay again.

Very accommodating and economical accommodation

Been a member with Hotels.com for several years have accumulated over 20 nights. I have never up to now had any issues with Hotels.com or any other bookng sites, or directly with the Hotels/Motels I dealt with until my booking with Econo Lodge Motel Village -Calgary.  

Booked the motel for my daughter travelling across canada with a car and trailer and a pet. we filtered for motels that were pet friendly and visually checked the motel pictures where the vehicule and trailer be parked by the room with and outside door access to keep an eye and to attend the vehicule quickly. 

Upon her arrival, the front desk indicated no pets allowed, even with with printout from Hotels.com, and my daughter found out that all outside doors of each room is locked up. Motel would not reimburse even if serviçe was not provided. 

Want to advise all my fellow engineers, and fathers of sons and daughters traveling across Canada, passing through Calgary, not to choose this chain of motels, as they do not provide any form of Service.

Misleading Advertisement of services. Cancelled room upon arrival, did not get refund

Old house but above all very noisy. A little doubtful frequency, very old furniture but comfortable bed. Very medium size, with few choices and still finely cut out of the common room.
