Top hotels in Richmond
Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
From cost point of view, this hotel is an absolute bargain anytime but few upgrades such as having charging points (type -c) in the room will be very helpful .Also cleanliness could be enhanced including inside the elevator

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.
