Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection
The hotel itself is lovely, staff accommodating and friendly. We did experience issues parking and there is no overflow available. Paying guests were parking on the street, curb or wherever they could find which is not acceptable when you have paid for a room and offer free parking. My suggestion ...

Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
Very basic. Rooms are clean. Bed and pillows are not great. Shower faucet was very hard to turn on/outdated. Water pressure was good. For a budget friendly hotel this place is ok. Our room had a strong smell, like Indian spices. Location is good.
