Some reviewers had complaints about a rental tent that was dirty and a sleeping bag that smelled, and one felt a late return and a locked door were handled poorly.

Tent was dirty and gross, looked like they hadnt even opened it to check before giving it to us. Definitely didn’t clean it before re-renting it. It was full of rocks and dirt and grass. They said that the tent was a backpacking tent but it was so large and heavy that it was the only thing we could fit into a 70L backpack, and nothing else. Super expensive for what we got. Better to just buy something small and cheap on Facebook marketplace and would still be better quality. Would not rent again from here or recommend it.

Went for a bike repair course and the instructor Cory was very knowlgable, had good humor AND helped me fix 2 bikes and lent out spare parts all while teaching a fairly comprehensive 2 day course. Really good experience overall.

Charged me $200 for sleeping bag rentals when one smelt bad and a $150 late fee for bringing it a day late. Students that works there are helpful, whatever manager I had to deal with was not.

This place has the best prices in the city! Just rented a canoe to take camping in Kannanaskis and they provided me everything I needed for my adventure!
Hours of operation are super convenient and staff is extremely helpful!! Ryan was really friendly and helpful helping me unload the canoe from my roof rack!
