Top hotels in New Brighton
Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel
Staff were really awesome. Room was clean. Breakfast and supper buffet was well worth it. Only complaint was the pool. It was very cold and the maintenance person said it's normal. Also, was surprised that you could only use the pool for one hour after 5pm and you had to book it. Nothing in the reservation ...

Hyatt Place Calgary Airport
The hotel alone is very clean updated and modern decor. The breakfast buffet was excellent! Lots of options. The only thing we disliked were the beds and pillows. Way too soft with no support. Definitely woke up sore.
