Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
Don't expect too much for the price you pay. Its a good hotel for its price. Pool was closed though when we were there. Staff said "under maintenance". Confirm first before you book if that's one reason you want to stay there specially if you have kids who'd like to swim.
