Centro Motel

Cute and clean. As a single woman, I feel perfectly safe to stay here. Super friendly service. While checking out, I mentioned that the Keurig machine wasn’t working and he gave me a $10 Timmy‘s card. This is the second time I’ve stayed here and I’ve had no complaints.

We've stayed at the Centro so many times, I'm pretty sure the staff will be inviting us home for dinner soon, or at least putting us on their Xmas card lists. The owner is awesome, and the staff definitely go out of their way to accommodate guests. The rooms are affordable,neat and tidy, and they have big fuzzy white robes awaiting you. All the rooms received brand new mattresses, in the past month or so, and they are comfortable enough, that I wish I could stuff one in my trunk, and haul it back to the coast with me.. The front desk is manned 24/7, and they keep it quiet, and do an awesome job of keeping the Riff Raff far away.. I spend too much time in Calgary, and the Centro is my go to place when I'm in town! I'm very happy we found this little gem in the city. And I'd recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable decent option in Calgary!!

Decent and very clean motel. Dog friendly and staff were great. The only thing we did not like was the walls are thin. You can hear people very clearly.

Stayed in July. It was the most affordable option around at over $200/night. It was a place to sleep, nothing to write home about. Smelled a little too strong of cleaner. Bed was clean, but everything just felt quite dated. Reasonably close to Banff and Calgary, might stay again if the prices go down.

My husband and I enjoyed our time here. The sharply dressed, young man Ethan (I think), at the front desk, was very kind and attentive to our needs through the night. Will be coming back for sure and highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and welcoming place to stay!

Stayed here on my way to the airport. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The front desk staff were super helpful and accommodating - I forgot about the checkout time and they were kind enough to let me stay in the room a bit longer. Great value.

Exceptionally clean, warm, cozy and the effort to make someone feel like they can have a short reprieve with⅚out worrying about tomorrow is HERE. I was allowed early check-in with my reservation and reception was warm and hospitable. Is it perfect? Nothing is but they try here . I checked in and within 30 minutes the phone rang asking if there was anything else they could help with to make my stay more accommodating. Nice touch. They care. I wish city of Calgary would lower the speed limit along this stretch because doing 80 in a 50 is a little selfish I M O and makes it loud in the rooms here . Everything you want is here for the price . Earplugs Air conditioning Cozy beds Clean clean clean Well kept rooms Rubber acoustic walkways to dampen noise A designated smoking area for the people who wanna dart

Staff were excellent and even called us about 15 minutes after checkin to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Will definitely stay again should the need arise.

Booking a motel when coming from out of country can always be tricky. We were very happy at the cute little motel when we pulled in. The staff were great and gave us excellent dinner recommendations. The room is remodeled and while you can tell it used to be an older motel room, it is clean and quite adorable. I'd come back again at the great price!

Let's be honest; when I booked this motel room and told my husband where we were staying he got this look on his face like I screwed up. He grew up in this neighbourhood and always thought of this place as a hole. When we got here we were VERY delighted by all the renovations that had taken place. The rooms are clean, comfortable, remodelled well and have all your basic features. The staff has been tremendously helpful and friendly. I'm not saying this is a 5* resort but it's a great motel to crash in on your way to the mountains or in town for a rodeo or concert. Next door to a gas station, within walking distance to a subway and DQ and there's a coffee shop in sight.

We arrived in a heatwave, went to our room, and the door was already open. It's a motel, so the open door is kind of a security issue. We thought, well - let's make the best of it, then a really weak air conditioner made us change our mind. We were given another room, and the door would not close, click , nor lock. The staff member kept saying it worked before, - which is super, but that didn't fix the issue as we stood there melting. Overall, it's an alright place, a bit dinge-y, but for the price, I guess you get what you get right. The 1- star is for the staff actually following through and calling Expedia for us and getting us a complete refund. I was really glad he did that. Overall, mmmmmm.....don't do it.

This place is very good value for the price. The room has a modern feel, however materials used for updates were not the best quality and some things like paint and finishes were somewhat beaten up. The bathroom was clean and well kept, as well as the shower - looked brand new. The best part was the breakfast with fresh fruit such as apples and bananas, bagels, that were not stale, muffins, croissants, very tasty yogurt and organic orange juice. Again, incredible value for the cheapest motel in town.

So far so good. The staff is always helpful. Cleanroom upon arrival. Low noise for a budget motel. I paid a cash deposit for my room and have heard a few horror stories about getting a full refund. Things like a person got a comforter dirty (minus $25/day) little things like that. "They always seem to find something." I will find out in the morning. So far. I like it. Thank you for having me.

Love this place. The front desk was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable and it was a convenient location to get on the road in the morning to Banff. I didn't find the location sketchy at all and had no issues during my stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Recently redone late 70s motel. Clean. Was the only thing available during stampede and the price reflected that. Menh. Go or don't.

A bit disappointed as the room was pretty small and the bathroom even smaller. The beds were clean however the room sure could have used a vacuum for sure. The coffee maker did not work and when mentioned it to the maid she was aware and apparently it had been mentioned before. It was replaced the next day. It is an older motel and looked to be recently updated.

Room was very clean, and the front desk service was very quick and efficient. Each room seems to have air conditioning, which was needed during our one night passing through Calgary, and it worked well with the digital thermostat. The decor was nice and fresh, even if some of the furniture was starting to show a little wear and tear (just some minor scuffs, bumped edges and corners, etc.) The only issue with the room was the bathroom fan which was very loud, and was hardwired to the bathroom light, so there was no way to turn it off. (my phone's decibel metre measured it at over 50 dB.) We were travelling with our Border Collie, and they are very welcoming of pets. We were very happy with our stay, and will definitely come again.

The Centro Motel is located at the Trans Canada Highway (N°1) in a suburb of Calgary. We booked the motel via booking.com as we wanted to have a place which is not directly in the city but from which we can go into the centre via publuc transportaion. First we were surprised by the high rating whicfh is unusual for a motel but when we arrived we knew why. The place is more like a design hotel than a motel. The rooms are big, clean and well decorated. The staff was very friendly, helpful and nice all the time. The neighborhood seems safe, ok which neighborhood in Canada isn't :-) but it is located in a nice living area. The breakfast was included in the rate as well and was really good. We felt like home here and we had nothing to complain about. 5 star rating are more the appreciated here!

Picked this motel completely at random from Expedia, and I was pleasantly surprised with it. The room was large and extremely clean. The free wi-fi was a little spotty, but it still worked. Most of the time. There is a continental breakfast offered each day starting at 7:00, but I was out the door by then, so I wasn't able to partake. The location wasn't exactly the greatest; the motel is situated on a very busy street, so if you're a light sleeper, that may be a problem for you. Also, I noticed a number of sketchy looking folks wandering up and down the street, so if you're not an equally sketchy looking person like me, that might also be a concern for you. All told, though, I would absolutely consider staying here again.

I really hate that I can't check in online when I am in Canada (phone data doesn't work here for me). But on to the review...... The rooms are clean, large and open. They have all been updated. It was actually a very nice stay! The staff was very friendly :) Free wifi. Free breakfast. Free calls to Canada and USA. The only downside? A little farther from downtown then I wanted to be!

We stayed here on our way through going to revelstoke. This place is conveniently located to hwy 1 and a good value accommodation. Despite it being next to a major road the noise wasn't too bad. It looks to be recently renovated and while the contractor appears to need to learn how to measure their cuts and use a level better the rooms are nice. They also have a nice simple continental breakfast to get you on your way.

I used to love this place, I've stayed here a few times over the years. My last experience was not pleasant. The rooms were dirty, the staff was rude and I was not impressed. When I complained about hair on my bed and stains on my towel the management told me there was nothing they could do. I asked them to move me and they said they couldn't. They also couldn't get anyone to clean the room so they handed me some sheets and told me to change them myself. They also told me to leave the dirty towels outside of the door (in the morning they were will laying there) I will not return to this place.

These rooms are very nice and clean. Great price for the stay. A couple issues we ran into was our room door wasn't locked when we entered, bath robes were not there and the fridge never got cold even when turned to max.

I am usually scared off by this style of old walk-up motels, but this place has been very nicely updated, was clean, and great amenities (fridge, wifi, bathrobes). I didn't find it "sketchy" at all (as mentioned in another review). I liked the location - easy access to downtown and the NW. Staff were very friendly and helpful with driving directions! I would definitely stay here again.
