Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Très propre et calme Près de l’aéroport"

Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Shuttle pickup from airport was being offered Inconsistent service standard, one staff gave us some bottled water but another staff said they never do that. Iron board is a bit dirty. Was offered a room 201 which is very close to the restaurant and is at the beginning of the corridor so can hear the noise from everyone who pass by especially kids Pretty good price for what's being offered though"
