Date of Visit: Feb 8, 2023 Holiday inn Express is always a great stay no matter where you travel, and The Calgary airport hotel is no exception. The rooms are very spacious and always well laid out. The rooms have 2 queen beds (or a king), are always comfortable, and come with an assortment of quality pillows. The rooms always have a standard of cleanliness that leaves you without worry. The Shower is very high and spacious -which is always important for us as One of us is 6’4”. The Bathroom is very large and always clean and free of issues. The Beds have never seen any visitors when I stay at Holiday Inn Express. I always check as soon as I enter the room. There is no cause for concern here. The Breakfast buffet is always a highlight at Holiday inn Exxpress. They always have Turkey Sausage on the menu, which is important o t us because we don’t eat pork (as with Many other people). So many hotels do not consider that and only offer pork. Eggs (scrambled and boiled – sometimes omelettes), bacon & sausage, many bread products, yoghurts, fruits, cinnamon buns, coffee & tea, cereals, oatmeal, and much more. The service was very friendly and helpful at breakfast. The guest service was exceptional. Everyone was super friendly. They have a shuttle at the airport to take you directly to the hotel, but their van was not working this day – they paid for a taxi to take me to the hotel. Katey was very friendly and engaging. We had a pleasant conversation about my visit to Calgary, which was my first visit. I was there to meet friends, but they couldn’t pick me up until after 2 pm. So I sat in the breakfast area and wrote rogue trippers blog articles while I waited and had countless cups of coffee while I waited. The staff were very kind and had no problem with me being there Their internet was being upgraded – and their IT guy even came over and helped me get back online while he was working on it. Parking – there is plenty of on-site self-parking. There is a pool, fitness centre, and business centre. I didn’t use any of these services. Holiday inn Express, a hotel chain, is always our go-to place to stay wherever possible. The comfort and little things that they do differently is always appreciated. It makes travel much easier and less stressful when you have a wonderful place to stay where you feel comfortable, safe, and well-fed.

We have stayed at several Sandman locations, and based on the site pictures, we were prepared to be happy. But not so. The hotel is tired, very tired. At checkin, it was quite slow, due to a client haggling for a better price than what was offered. With 4 families in line to check in, we felt the desk clerk should have called for help. When we got to our room, it was extremely over-heated, and neither the thermostat on the wall (which we figured was disconnected) nor the remote heater control could shut the heat off. We went for dinner, returned, and found that the heater was still forcing heat. We asked for a room change, and we were given one quite quickly. Our new room was still very tired: paint on walls was chipped, bathroom needed renovation, walls were stained. THe carpet had stains, and the enamel in the sink was scratched. However, the sheets and towels were clean. The bed was comfortable. There was noise in the halls through the night, and we could easily hear the room beside us through the night. The shuttle to/from the airport takes from 15-45 minutes, so do be prepared for that.

It's ok for a few nights. The room was a bit dusty and it smelled of cigarette smoke in the bathroom all the time. But I guess you get what you pay for, the price is reasonable. The staff are polite welcoming and willing to help. The place is a 5-minute walk from some restaurants, banks and the Sunridge mall.

The hotel check in and checkout staff at the front desk were great. Extended my check out as I had a late flight was very nice to have late checkout. The rooms are very clean and beds are very comfortable. A hotel shuttle service that was outstanding. Restaurant attached to hotel and dinner and breakfast were both very good. Recommend this hotel to anyone….nice a close to the airport.

The hotel is very cozy. It has a traditional chain service operation and management model. It is newly renovated. It is very clean. The heating is very sufficient. It is convenient to go to the commercial street. Except that the bath water is a bit small, everything else is very good.

The beds were horribly soft and sunken in and misshapen. My wife felt like she was sleeping in a hammock. We had awful sleeps and came home with sore necks and backs. Very disappointed in the quality of beds considering what we paid and that this was our only holiday this year. The room was incredibly dusty and my sons allergies started acting up. I was charged $1828 for a beer in the club lounge because the attendant there mixed up our room number for the price of the beer. It of course was reversed but we were shocked to see this charge upon check out and don't feel this is acceptable.

We have an electric car and so when we travel if possible we try stay in hotels that have an electric vehicle charger on site. I always call the hotel directly to confirm as the websites are not always accurate. We called this hotel directly before booking onine and were advised by the woman on the phone (who had to put us on hold while she checked), that there was a car charger in the covered parking area. Great - the only warning was it was first come first served (which is how most are). When we arrived we asked where the vehicle charger was located and due to language issues the front desk person thought we were talking about a car cell phone charger... but another person came over and told us no EV charger on site. That was the whole reason for booking at this hotel and on a long weekend most places nearby were sold out. So we had to change our schedule to go and find a car charger instead of being able to do this at the hotel as planned. We would not have booked had we been given accurate information. And to pour salt in the wound, after we checked in the same person at the front desk who thought we wanted a cell phone charger called to ask if we were satisfied with the room, and I said room was fine but unhappy about no EV charger, he got confused and put us on hold and left us on hold... I eventually just hung up. Poor service. Hotel was clean. Our room was large but very spartan in furnishings and dated except new flooring. Bed was OK and no issue with noise. Shower head was long past its prime so not a great shower. Door into the room was backwards and swung to the open room and not to the wall but it had a door arm on it so you could not open all the way. Thiis made it hard to get luggage into the room as there was a table that limited access. Never tried the included breakfast. Why don't hotels offer the breakfast right until check out time? Why do they cut if off so early? I feel ripped off.

This hotel is wrong on Google Maps and Uber cannot navigate properly. Breakfast is free and cost-effective, ten minutes walk from mills, five minutes costco.

Comfortable environment, there is grass in front of the door, there is a courtyard behind the house, there is a home in the heart, it is worthwhile to visit this trip, I hope that in the near future, you can come back to Calgary Brother Li B&B, talk about their lives again, no more words, can not express the sincere and sincere love in the heart, friends, you have come, Feel it, and it's worth the trip.
