“Nice Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

I have stayed here often. Most recently last week. Front desk is quick and very pleasant every time. Winter - watch the parking lot - it can be slippery. I got one of the newly renovated rooms on the 5th floor, very nice, but they need to have more plugs in easy to get to locations. Maybe like some hotels they can have plugs in the table lamps...
Only complaint, and this is consistent from each visit, and that is the service at breakfast.....slow, not very accurate and inattentive. Worst I have seen in any Holiday inn. There is a Denny's right across 16th ave on 19th Street, have your breakfast there.

Room Tip: Get the 5th floor for the renos - and the awesome view from the elevator lobby.

“Another good stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

We have been staying here for many years and it is always a good experience however the dining room you always need a sweater and don't go for the buffet breakfast if it is late morning. Regular menu always good.

“Average Holiday Inn Hotel 15 minutes away from the airport.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012

Rooms are very small but clean. Because the hotel is beside a very busy road, it's a bit noisy. Restaurant's menu consists of a few deep fried products without taste and the service is below average. Only hotel guests eat here and I can see why.
Otherwise, good beds and standard Holiday Inn amenities. Just okay for an overnight layover but not for longer stays.

“Ugly hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

Stayed at this hotel on our province wide road trip. This was the most expensive hotel and the dirtiest of them all. There is black mold or a similar substance around the tub. The hotel is on the side of a hill so the second floor has vehicles parked across from your room. I would not book this hotel again at any prices. The staff did not do anymore than they had to.

“Nice hotel, good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

This is a nice fresh new looking hotel. It has a pool if you have kids and a restaurant and bar. I found the rooms and beds nice. I was going to stay downtown Calgary initially, but found the rooms overpriced and most of the downtown hotels in Calgary will charge you for parking.

The location is very accessible to downtown and very close to the Deerfoot for easy access to various places in the city.

I would stay here again and have no critical comments to make.
