The Town and Country Inn located in Forest Lawn has taken the title of shittiest and shadiest hotel since the Cecil was demolished.
Here's a typical view with emergency responders parked out front:

The beautiful reception area:
I think they might have renovated it recently but not sure.
This review from Trip Advisor is priceless:

This is what you get for pushing through thunderstorms and trying to make it a few extra hours, you end up in Calgary during Stampede and every hotel in town is spoken for. Hard drinking clientele in the parking lot, lobby and bar area were first thing I noticed when I pulled up. As I had been onphone with CAA and online with Expedia, I knew this was it so I decided to make the best of it and stripped EVERYTHING off my heavily laden cross-country travelling motorcycle and lugged it to my room.
While checking in, a cabful of young upper-middle class girls spilled out of a cab. Turns out they flew into town for Stampede and had been to no less than 15 hotels before this one. The look on their faces was priceless. I think I heard "Oh my gawd" like 20 times. As a drunken bar patron stumbled out and started bugging them for money, I felt sorry for them and actually walked them to their rooms. Yes, it was that bad. These 6 uppity young white girls were willing to take a walk to their rooms from a road-weathered Aboriginal biker to feel safe. Lol.
Although my bed did not have bedbugs I still didn't trust the general uncleanliness of it. Further, the bed was like a piece of cardboard. I laid a tarp over the bed and slept in my sleeping bag.
I have flown into many remote communities and styed in some shady places out of necessity, never thought one in Calgary would rank among them. Woke up at the crack of dawn and got out of there before the drunks passed out on the balconies got up
