Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary South
Good breakfast, good parking, amenities could be nicer just by staying on top of the little things that make a big difference to guests. Tennis table paddles and ball was broken and couldnt be used and also thr chairs are missing cushions so you cant really sit on them.
