Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
Rooms are clean. Service can be intermittent and minimal. Cable TV quality varies by room. Staff are friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about their front desk service. Restaurant - won't eat there.

Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection
The beds were very comfortable. I found the 4 pillows on the queen size bed were all the same size and overstuffed. They seemed to be made of foam pieces. That is the one thing that was lacking. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay.
