A jewel in the rough. * First impressions: On corner of a busy street. Receptionist was gracious. I asked for a room NOT beneath the gym and he said "Oh, you must have been here before!" I had not...I had just read another Trip Advisor report! Thanks! * Customer Service: Excellent. I was able to stay a little longer because... more

A have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions, probably totalling a month or so alltogether. The rooms are uniformly nice, and would command a much higher price if the hotel was located 1km closer into the downtown core. I have stayed in $200+ hotels with rooms like these. Tastefully decorated and modern. Many of the rooms have... more

I have the say that this is one of the best hotel for its price. Booked it 14 days in advance and got about 60 CAD pernight. The room was clean and had everything you need, except for a safe to keep my passport and important documents, but that wouldnt matter much. Had everything i need in the room, tv,... more

Stayed here for four nights in Sep 06. Secure underground parking, however, there are more rooms than vehicle parking spaces so arrive before 7PM if you want to be sure of a parking space in the secure area (and you will need this!). All rooms have free internet (either by cable or wireless) and there is a internet station in... more

Rooms were nice. It had a fridge. The breakfast was pretty good. The rolls were above average. The parking spots were small. I was able to catch a bus close by to get downtown easy enough. I definitely did not like that the small gym closed at 8 p.m. more

The other reviews have pretty well said it all - The Great Western Uptown is excellent value for money if you don't mind not being in the City Centre The rooms are top quality with all the features you would expect at a 5-star hotel and the reception staff were very friendly - they even agreed to look after my... more

Good choice if you are looking for inexpensive accomodations and don't need to be downtown. Room was clean and a decent size. Fourth floor room on the north side had a nice view of the city and mountains. Continental breakfast is nothing more than cereal, bagels, pastry but there is a pleasant inexpensive cafe next door. Very secure underground parking... more

We stayed at this hotel in February. We had a top floor room and were pleased with it. The room had nice high ceilings, and lots of room and was quiet. We faced Kingsway Avenue but found it wasn't noisy. The continental breakfast included was also varied and good. The price was the best part. The location was good, nothing... more

The main positive about this hotel was the fantastic price. We booked way in advance and, as a couple, only paid about £15 a night each. Our room and bathroom were spacious and immaculate. In room facilities/accessories included a coffee maker, tv, iron and ironing board, alarm clock, phone, dataports and a small seating area with comfy seats. The bathroom... more
