Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Calgary Downtown

8/10 Good

"Lovely, clean and tidy room with plenty of counter space in the bathroom. 2 "complaints": The beds were sold to us as Queen. Pretty sure they were only double. Thank goodness there were 2 of them so my husband and I could have 1 each! Secondly, pretty much everywhere you stay now has a fridge. That would have been very handy. Philip in the valet car park was amazing. Thank you!"
