Family

If you're looking for a family-friendly hotel in Calgary, the Holiday Inn Express Airport Calgary is a great choice. The pool was a hit with the kids with a fun waterslide that our older children enjoyed (although our younger kids couldn't use it yet due to their swimming abilities). There were two TVs in our room, which was helpful for keeping everyone entertained. Breakfast was convenient with good timing for families with small children and my kiddo loved the pancake maker (although it did get a bit backed up when other guests made too many pancakes at once). The hotel also provides taxis for families traveling with larger groups. While some guests noted that there were no highchairs and the breakfast options were lacking for kids, overall we had a great experience and would recommend this hotel to families looking for a fun and convenient stay in Calgary.

3 Star

Holiday Inn Express Airport Calgary by IHG is a decent choice for those looking for an average stay. While the hotel has a pleasant ambiance, the carpet might be dated and the facilities could have been better for the cost. Although it's not as good as other Holiday Inns, the hotel manages to offer a great stay at an affordable price. However, some guests feel that the hotel isn't worth the money and they did not have an enjoyable stay. So, while the hotel is passable, looks can be deceiving and it's not value for money. Overall, it's an average hotel with good facilities and services.
