Best Western Premier Calgary Plaza Hotel & Conference Centre
"Check-in was easy. Staff were friendly. When I got to the room guests had already been staying in that room. The room we got was very hot, we ended up asking for a fan. One huge suggestion is to have redo the back parking lot. It is very dark at night & needs proper parking stalls."
