Howard Johnson Express Inn Calgary Motel

beware of very rude staff and cancellation policy. Howard Johnson paperwork states one day cancellation but hotel staff insist you have to give two days notice.They literally said they "Don't care" what it says on the reservation paperwork. The receptionist was constantly rude and when i said i'd write to Howard Johnson's main office he just said "Do it".

I did. It appears this is a franchise hotel and the main Howard Johnson office has little authority over it. i.e they can treat you how they want and you can't do much about it

We were absolutely disgusted with this hotel. There is black mold along the bathtub, stained carpets, stained ceiling, covers falling off the heating and bags of garbage left in the dual entrance. The door would not securely lock and it was very noisy, we could hear the people above us.
