Top University District Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at the Port O’Call in Calgary! The hotel was very clean, we loved the underground parking, and the kids absolutely loved the pool and hot tub. A couple of things could be improved. The fridge in the room was extremely small, and the beds were quite hot and sweaty, possibly because of the plastic mattress protectors. The sheets also kept coming off the mattresses because they weren’t fitted sheets. Overall, a great hotel for families, and we really enjoyed our stay!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Calgary NW - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Very close to McMahon Stadium and Banff Trail stop for transit. Lots of good dining choices within short walking distance as well. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and shower had excellent water pressure. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again"
