Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG
Staff were great. Rooms were good as it has a sink and fridge but no microwave. Was noisy at first between traffic on hwy 16 and airplanes overhead. Shuttle was good arriving, the return trip not so much. I wont stay here again but it's overall not a bad spot for a night.
