Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
When I went to bed, I found many long hairs on the bed and in the room, which made it feel unclean. I was also disappointed that even a temporary toothbrush and tiny toothpaste were charged separately.

Acclaim Hotel By CLIQUE
This hotel is an air travellers stop. Quite transitional but very well looked after. Renovating half of the rooms which look great. Hot Tubs on top deck are awesome and a great place to plane watch. Good restaurant onsite. 5 minutes from airport with a shuttle.
