Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection
Breakfast menu is excellent. Cleanliness, staff, etc. all wonderful. Property definitely geared towards start of day and end of day, the times most guests are here. I found myself there for a full day and only real downside is no venue on property serving lunch. All else is great!

Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG
Could not control the temperature in my room as it was a little too warm for me to sleep comfortably, otherwise everything was as you'd expect from this hotel chain. No other complaints.

The rooms were spot. The rooftop pool is awesome and the restaurant on site was as good if not better than some downtown Calgary.
