Top Varsity Hotel Reviews

Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection

8/10 Good

"Great spot for the price very comfortable beds and close to airport 24 hr shuttle service"

Comfort Inn & Suites Calgary Airport - North

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived very late. Pickup was prompt and the driver was very friendly. Check in was smooth. Because we had to leave before the 6:30 breakfast, we were provided a breakfast to go. Bed mattress was firm but to our liking. All in all... a pleasant experience for the short amount we stayed."
