Positive Reviews
positive:
Fun in the pool area.
Younger guests or guests young at heart will appreciate the pool facilities with waterslide. Zip down the slide and then relax in the hot tub, or take the kids for some fun. Many guests staying at the Glenmore Inn and Convention Centre commented favorably on the waterslide.
positive:
Some updated rooms.
You will find updated accommodations in the tower rooms. While some guests found the hallways and exterior of the hotel to be somewhat dated, guests in tower rooms reported comfortable beds, and many were pleasantly surprised with the newer decor.
positive:
Great variety of dining options.
For those who want to stay on-site, plenty of eating possibilities are available. While some took issue with poorly presented food, most were happy with their meals. The buffet restaurant is a guest favorite, with many guests commenting on the quality and quantity of food.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Slow Wi-Fi connection.
Trying to connect to the Internet might leave you wishing you never had. Several guests reported slower than molasses Wi-Fi connection. The Glenmore Inn and Convention Centre is reportedly working to improve this after many complaints.
negative:
Inconvenient location for some amenities.
The Glenmore Inn and Convention Centre is farther away from major city attractions than some guests had hoped for. While some were happy with the quick driving distance to major thoroughfares, others weren't so pleased with the distance to downtown Calgary. Located in an industrial area, the hotel does have walking access to a few businesses including a restaurant, liquor and convenience store.
negative:
A better value if breakfast was included.
Some guests felt a breakfast-inclusive room rate would be fair for the price they paid. With no alternatives close by for a coffee or morning meal, several wished for a more affordable menu.
