The Duchess | 5 Min from Chinook | Upscale | Pets

Another amazing stay at The Duchess! Traveling on business. Close to The Esthetic Institute. Everything you need in the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and beds are so soft and comfy. Safe feeling community for evening walks and the outside is very well maintained. Until next time...

Very clean and tidy place to stay. Much nicer than a hotel. Thanks!

Check in was relatively straightforward. Centrally located in a primarily quiet, residential area, the house was close to a major mall and not far from downtown Calgary, as well as the International airport. The basement unit itself was in very good condition and had all the amenities one could require, for a brief or longer stay. 2 furnished bedrooms with ample closet space, as well as a 4 piece bathroom complete with towels and toiletries, made for a comfortable experience. To describe it as a "Full Scale Kitchen" doesn't do the space justice. Literally has everything needed to prepare and cook for those renting the apartment and their guests, if any. There is also a modest dining area and large living room with plenty of seating. Having central heat, as well as big windows for light in this finished basement, were a welcome addition. The laundry room with full size machines and cleaning supplies was an added bonus. There were also all the little additional touches throughout, like inspiring messages and just the right amount of decor without making the place feel cluttered. The owners really went above and beyond. One item that should have been better thought out, was the set up with respect to the upstairs apartment. Although each unit has a separate entry, it is possible for either unit's guests to access the other's units, as no key was provided to lock our individual door. I brought this to the owner's attention, however they never addressed my concern.

The suite was super clean and new. All amenities that we required were there and the quiet neighbourhood location was great. The only thing that we recommend is to improve the quality of the mattresses. We would definitely stay again!!
