Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
As we left we were told that they only do the room clean every 3 days… I guess with those Keurig machines in the room we should have brought our own coffee for the other 2 days

Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG
They had a great small restaurant (and the food was fantastic) and bar...with a surprise "casino" that my step mother loved. Make sure to have your itinerary # though...and address since there are 3 Holiday Inn Airport hotels.
