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.

This motel is worse than...

Liked: The most disgusting hotel I've ever seen
Disliked: Horrible cleanliness, looked like they didn't even try and clean it before we got there. No outlets in the room, there was a lamp on the bedside table but it wasn't even plugged in to anything. We had to leave after 20 minutes because it was so disgusting. People next to us loud and yelling, people outside sketchy. Thin piece of fabric as a blanket, no extras in the room. Window held shut by a board of wood. General bad smell to the room. I'm appaled at how expensive this room was for what it was, we paid $135, i would not even stay in that room for free.

This place has bedbugs. BEWARE.

Liked: One of few hotels that had a vacancy on an extremely busy weekend, booked last minute for a hospital trip. Room was newly renovated.
Disliked: THIS PLACE HAD BEDBUGS! We had bites the next day!!! Stay away from this place. Room smelled of cigarette smoke. Hot water did not work in bathroom sink. TV didn't work at all. Extreme noise (construction) from room upstairs through ceiling ALL NIGHT making it impossible to sleep.I requested a refund, and the hotel refused. I had to file a claim with Booking.com, and they took care of the refund on my behalf.Stay away.

Disliked: Got harassed by the front desk. Wasn’t allowed in my room for 3 hours at 12am. I had to pay him twice as he didn’t get the money from booking.com. I want my money back. Worst night of my life.
