The Spotlight on Olympia Lodge

Quiet and Convenient Base for Concert Nights in Calgary

Modern comfort meets classic motel charm at Olympia Lodge, a cozy and budget-friendly option located right off the Trans-Canada Highway. Nestled next to Shouldice Park and just 6 miles from downtown Calgary, this lodge offers easy access to the city’s top music venues while giving you a peaceful place to crash after the encore.

With free Wi-Fi, wood-furnished rooms, and essential in-room amenities like a microwave and mini-fridge, Olympia Lodge is a solid pick for concert-goers who want convenience without the frills.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located only 3 miles from Canada Olympic Park and a short drive to Calgary’s downtown venues, Olympia Lodge makes getting to your show quick and easy. The 24-hour reception means late-night returns are no problem, and the motel’s quiet residential setting offers a peaceful night's sleep post-show. Free parking and access to major roads also make ride-shares and late-night transport stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable stay with easy access to concerts
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist without breaking the bank
  • Couples wanting a simple spot to unwind after a night out
  • Fans needing quiet after a high-energy show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who care more about location than luxury

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room comes with a microwave and mini-fridge—perfect for post-show snacks. Several casual dining spots and takeout options are a short drive or ride-share away. Though there’s no breakfast buffet, early risers can grab a bite at nearby cafés or stock up on essentials from local stores.

Nightlife Options

Olympia Lodge isn’t a nightlife hotspot itself, but that’s the appeal for many. It offers a quiet crash pad after a big night out. If you're still buzzing post-show, downtown Calgary’s bars, lounges, and late-night eats are just a quick drive away.

What People Say

Reviews often mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the unbeatable value for the price. Guests appreciate the quiet location, ample parking, and proximity to parks and concert venues. Many say it’s a no-fuss, reliable spot to sleep after a night on the town.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms and decor are a bit dated, and there’s no luxury feel here. There’s also no breakfast or restaurant on-site, so plan ahead for meals. But for the price and location, most say it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and budget-friendly place to recharge after the show, Olympia Lodge hits the right note.

I was really looking forward...

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Nothing. They kept my license and closed the office before until 8 the next morning. This made it so I couldn’t go out with my wife. The room was disgusting. There were no toiletries. Bed was gross we had to buy a throw to even lay on it.

Awful. Never again.

Liked: Only saving grace about this place is the location.
Disliked: Nil added amenities. Worst upkeep of any room I've ever seen. Hot water hardly worked. Extremetly strong smell of cigarette smoke constantly. Couldn't say staff were friendly. It was as if the room was not cleaned before we entered with grime and dirt on the floor and sheets. Broken floors and skirting. A bar of soap left in the tub. The list goes on. Would highly NOT recommend.
