What guests think

At Emerald Hotel & Suites Calgary Airport, travellers report a budget-friendly stay with welcoming front-desk service, but variable overall quality, recurring maintenance problems like elevator outages, and surroundings that several guests describe as uncomfortable or unsafe, especially later at night.

Many appreciate low prices, quick check-in, occasional free upgrades, and easy parking. Frequent complaints cite poor cleaning and odors, uncomfortable springy beds with thin pillows, noise from halls or events, and spotty Wi-Fi or A/C. Dining feedback is mixed: the on-site Indian restaurant pleases some, while others mention strong food smells, slow service, or late-night noise, and several wish breakfast were offered. Expect a basic, low-cost stay with friendly service but inconsistent standards.

The hotels elevator has not been working for the past 2 days. We are on the 3rd floor. It is very hard to use stairs. I'm carrying up and down my 50 pounds luggage bag. I am 62 years old. It's absolutely unfair. The person on the front desk he is very rude. I told him we are staying for 2 nights. Please send large towels for shower, also there is waste basket in restrooms. They did NOT send it. I am unhappy. I told him that if the stairs were not working, they should have informed the guest prior to checking in. But he did not said anything. Also, there is a Banquet hall / Restaurant. (Entrance is from the inside the hotel) There was some kind of event there on Saturday night. The music was so laoud, that we could not sleep. I will NOT recommend this hotel. I would like a REFUND --

Toilet seat was not properly cleaned and unscrewed. Although the price was reasonable let’s not forget to clean it properly.

I feel like we got catfished. We book the hotel on line and the pictures made it look really nice and well kept. We get there and it’s not at all like the pictures. The parking lot is covered in garbage. The washroom in our room wasn’t even cleaned prior to our arrival. I found hair all over the washroom, the tub was dirty and just absolutely disgusting looking. The drain was plugged so even if we were brave enough to have a shower we would be standing someone else’s filth. The toilet had someone else’s bowel movement still in it! We stayed for one night and by the time we arrived from our flight we didn’t have much of choice but to brave the night. We checked the bed and the thank goodness it was clean and no bed bugs. But I would definitely reconsider your choice to stay here. The staff was friends but they were the only pleasant thing about this hotel. If I could post pictures I would.

Booked here as an inexpensive option because our flight out of Calgary was postponed overnight. Ultra basic room, but seemed clean enough. Air conditioner worked but was very loud. The bed was fairly comfy, but the springs made a ton of noise when getting in or out, or any movement in general. Was all pretty decent except for the fact that a lady (housekeeping I think?) burst into our room at 8:30am without knocking and then couldn’t speak English well enough to say why. I think she thought my name was Jarrod or something? It was 2.5 hours before checkout time, so that was kinda weird. Other than that, it was OK for the low price.

Very very poor experience with this hotel staff There was a guy in the evening shift when I was there for check in. He doesn’t no any manners and anything that how to deal with customers.he showed up his too much ego .and he was saying all the time for his boss named kewal is not here for listening to ur problem he was at home and chilling.and customers are getting harassed by his staff on reception. In last I am telling you we cancelled our stay immediately that day on the spot . All the hotel having smell of smoking but they mentioned non smoking on there hotel listing on Expedia.com So I think Expedia is not check there hotels according to there policies.they need to check hotel conditions first. And at last this hotel is disgusting.

I wouldn’t stay here again . The area isn’t great and the hotel itself has guests who I definitely wouldn’t want around my home or anywhere I sleep . I was worried my car would be broken into in the parking lot . One elevator was broken down and when I got up in the morning the other one was too so I had to carry my bag down 5 floors. I didn’t realize when I booked it but the hotel is shady something you’d expect a drug addict or prostitute to stay in and judging by the looks of the folks hanging around they could have been either.

I paid $70 bucks a night and the room had a bed, tv, microwave, washroom had towels and soap. I dont know what else anyone could want. There was a smell like a lot of google reviews said. I think it was the carpet in the rooms

- This is NOT an airport hotel. No shuttle service. This hotel is +20-30 mins (not 10 mins) away from the YYC airport, via car service (CAD $30 - $35) - The hotel is near a truck overnight stop / fueling station - The hotel is sketchy, with random off the street people bumming inside and around the property. The hotel has hired a security guard that stands outside the building - The walls are thin, likely no insulation, the doors have a +3" gap from the floor, you can see people's shadow standing in front of your door. The doors are hollow. The windows are old, and made of wood. You can hear cars/trucks start outside and people snoring next door. - They give you three pillows for a king bed - The hotel smells like Indian cusine - The mattress is horrible, the bed frame squeeks - The pictures are deciving as they are from a renovation (at best paint only) in the early 2000s - Hotel is not even worth $50 CAD a night

Clean modern room, nice big TV, got a milkshake from the restaurant that was banging. The bathroom was relatively nice, toilet wobbled a bit in 204 and the beds were pretty stiff. Luckily i dont mind a firm bed. Overall a great stay.

Room smelled like the restaurant was vented straight into the room. Did not feel safe at night. Could not get the remote to work for the TV. Last but not least the Bed was the worst thing I’ve slept on, you could feel every spring and everytime I moved it would wake me up from how loud it was. I will most definitely not be back.
