Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I overpaid for a very poor kept facility. The mattress was old and terrible. The pillows the same. The overpriced room should have included breakfast but that would have been an additional $60 plus for the four of us. The hotel has four floors and only one working elevator. 1 star and I wouldn't recommend staying there.

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms at the hotel were clean and functional. We liked that they used Dove products which were excellent for a family with sensitive skin. The pool was small and a bit cold, but our young child still enjoyed it. The poor ratings relate to the shuttle, location and general customer service. There is no instruction to call for the airport shuttle. After waiting 10 minutes we called the first number we found on the website and were told the shuttle comes every 13 minutes. We waited another 10 and dug further to find the local phone number and spoke to the shuttle driver who said it would be 18 minutes, which in the end turned into over 30. The shuttle is really just an old van. While the hotel appears close to the airport it took 18 minutes to drive there with no traffic, and we passed another Holiday Inn that was much, much closer - the name “Calgary Airport” is very misleading. There is nothing nearby. They gave us free breakfast to compensate for the shuttle confusion, which was appreciated. We arrived at 9:32 pm and were told our only food options were delivery because the restaurant kitchen closed at 9:30. We ran to the restaurant with all our luggage to see if they would make something we could take to the room and were pleasantly surprised to find out they don’t close until 11 pm. Clearly lacking some communication between departments. Kids eat free and dinner was quite good. The breakfast is good for a free breakfast, but I wouldn’t pay for it.

I like the location, for me it's centrally located with my customers. Having said that, and I've been staying her 3 or 4 times a year for the past 10 years, they have let the hotel get a bit shabby, especially the common areas.

The hotel was nice, the pool and breakfast hours were toddler friendly (6am!) , there’s a playground within sight, and a nice big shower. I would have liked if the in-hotel restaurant would have told me kids eat free (any meal) before ordering and would have liked if the hotel staff would have asked to take our luggage upstairs instead of just providing the giant cart thing, which is very hard to maneuver into the elevator while corralling a toddler.. Overall I am very happy with this hotel and would stay here again.
