Metterra Hotel on Whyte
The room was not spotless. Walls in the bathroom were dirty, and pictures and fixtures in the bathroom were covered in dust. The first night we had stains on the sheets and comforter of the bed. The bed was very comfortable but an upgrade is definitely needed for the hotel

Rooms are spacious and there seem to be lots of adjoining rooms although because I booked last minute I was not able to in an adjoining room to my family. Breakfast selection was good but not labeled for GF to assist with dietary needs.
