My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautifully decorated and immaculate with a cozy gas fireplace and a spacious bathroom. However, I was not impressed with the dining experience at the Oxbow. The staff were friendly and accommodating but had some issues with handling prearranged bills. The location was superb, surrounded by great restaurants, bars, and shops in Kensington.

The hotel had a nice ambiance and friendly staff. The rooms were large, clean, and surprisingly quiet despite the main road in front. On the downside, the rooms felt dark and foreboding. The location is excellent for exploring downtown Calgary and the nearby Kensington area, offering a cute and fun neighborhood to walk around in.
