Sandman Hotels & Suites Calgary West
Family suite was very tight to get around and had very little counter space in the kitchen for storing/prepping snacks. Room and hotel were clean and staff were very friendly. Parking was easy and included. Location was great for what we needed.

Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
The hotel is old and not worth $235 for one night. I'd rather sleep in the car than pay this amount for this room.

Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel
Overall, excellent stay. Waterslides/pool were a hit as always. Pillows were flimsy and not supportive at all, so maybe bring your own if youre someone like me and needs that.
