Hotels near CN Rail Playpark, Calgary

I’m giving this 4 stars based on the Oasis Waterpark and our time spent there. Without that, I would score the hotel as a 3 (3.5). The hotel room itself was pretty standard. 2 queen beds, clean enough except for a dirty vent in the bathroom and a pre-existing stain on the carpet (see photos.) The air conditioning unit in the room was incredibly noisy and made for a rough night sleep on night 1. On night 2, I opened the window to allow for some “street white noise” and this helped to lessen the noises made when the unit turned on and off. Room was clean, housekeeping staff friendly and prompt to make our room up after night 1. I will note that the shower pressure was minimal, which made washing shampoo out of the hair challenging. The Oasis Waterpark is great. We missed the bulk of the Labour Day weekend travellers and had hours here to ourselves. Waterpark staff were incredibly kind. They also stay busy! Some observations from the Waterpark: - The slides are cleaned daily, which is great. It does result in minimal downtime for one/both slides for a bit, but I can appreciate keeping them clean. - The rest of the Oasis was kept clean, with staff frequently spraying things down. - I lost count of how many times water quality was tested for all bodies of water, great work. - Water in the main pool was pleasant, warm in the toddler pool, and a bit chilly in the pool where the water slides dump you. (Not a bad thing as it encourages people to move along out of the way quickly.) - Hot tubs were definitely hot! - It notes no people under 16 in the hot tubs but children were in them with their parents (we did the same, kids needed to warm up after the slides.) I see no issue with this if times are kept short. - Dry sauna was closed for the duration - The water slides are great but safety rules must be observed. We saw two injuries and both times it was when people were not following posted rules (tandem rides, entering the slide before the previous rider was most of the way down, sliding headfirst.) We will stay again so that we can visit the Waterpark.

The front desk was very nice and I saw her in a happy mood the whole day. The room is clean and tidy, with a wide view outside the window. Breakfast is a collaboration with the restaurant on the first floor, a Western-style set meal, which is unique and delicious.

The outside of the hotel doesn’t prepare you for the stylish interiors, the reception is not only modern but very welcoming, the front of house staff were lovely. We booked the Mingle / Double Queen Room and the room was lovely, very clean and very hip, the bathroom was generous and again stylish with a normal sized hairdryer, complimentary shampoo & body wash, we could park on the property and the staff were helpful and very welcoming. Would certainly stay again.

Great service. I called ahead to request a late check-in because my flight was delayed, and they had someone at the desk when I finally got there. They also helped me get a new room key card when mine wasn’t working properly. The hotel is also in the heart of downtown and close to a C-Train station.

Only stayed here because we were starting a coach tour through the Rockies, arrived a day early and this was where the tour started. We had booked one night in a king room and the tour had booked us in a queen for the following night. We asked if we could stay in the same room for both nights but apparently there were no King's available for the 2nd night. We offered to downgrade our first night to a queen but again this appeared to be a problem. That was until Kaylee The Guest Services manager came along and sorted everything and actually upgraded us for both nights. Fabulous room (although if you are a light sleeper you need to be aware that the trams run alongside the hotel) Room was large, very comfortable bed, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The whole hotel was clean and well maintained and 4 lifts meant never kept waiting long for a lift. There is a pool area which we did not take advantage of. Breakfast was good Canadian breakfast

The room and hallways were outdated and retro but still clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. We had a bizarre issue with the check-in where the front desk tried to tell us our reservation had been cancelled months prior, which was not true. We didn't cancel our reservation, and if they did on their end they never notified us of it. In fact, I was still receiving emails about checking in for my reservation the day before we arrived, so it was very stressful and confusing to get there and be told our reservation was cancelled months ago. Luckily they still had rooms for us, but still. Get your reservation and notification system sorted out.

Quick overnight stay on transit with travelling and flights delayed. Great hotel and customer service. Good shuttle pick up. Very clean rooms and well maintained hotel. Recommend it. Friendly front desk. Would stay here again. Breakfast is included.

We stayed overnight on Apr 30 3rd floor Between 10-11 , we heard ,commotion in the hallway, multiple voices screaming , fighting , profanity , running and someone trying to enter push our door . We called front desk twice to send security but unfortunately I did not feel a sense of urgency . I even asked if I should just call 911 but I was told to calm down. Well , that was easy to say . We felt we were in danger. I sure hope nobody was hurt including staff but that kind of violence should be actioned asap to ensure the safety of guests and the hotel staff . Needless to stay the one night we spent to get sleep before a 10hr flight the next morning turned out to be a sleepless night . We could have probably stayed at the airport uncomfortable but not feeling uneasy for our safety . Not blaming the front desk , I want them to protect themselves too but security or a call to the police could have de-escalated the more than an hour fighting outside our door . Hotel was more than decent if we exclude that particular incident .

I have stayed here more than once, Gray Eagle Hotel is as good as ever, and the Chinese food and buffet are beyond expectations. I strongly recommend everyone to stay here!

This hotel is wrong on Google Maps and Uber cannot navigate properly. Breakfast is free and cost-effective, ten minutes walk from mills, five minutes costco.
