Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
"The elevators are really slow and sound like they might break every time I got in them. All our room keys stopped working for some reason on the first day and we had to wait almost half an hour in line at the front desk to get them reactivated. The pool was also broken the whole time we were there. ..."

"Under renovation. Not terribly disruptive except 1 elevator closed off of r consturction use really slows things down. Surprising lack of business amenities in room for an Airport hotel (lack of USB and convenient outlets, for example.) Restaurant is glorious, however."
