Amenida Residences
The hotel seems perpetually under construction. It is usually cheap and is right on the lrt line for events at the saddledome. Also, the gym is in poor condition.

Carriage House Hotel & Conference Centre
Their breakfast buffet got better. They used to offer either bacon or sausages at the buffet. During my recent stay, they offered both at the sane time. Their eggs are cooked nicely compared to other buffets I've tried recently.

The hotel is ok. Close to Chinook center and easy access to the main roads or train to get to the Grey Eagle or the saddledome for shows. I also like the free breakfast.
