coffee station / microwave set up backwards. Bathroom door blocks use. Despite ad sayng breakfast included- was user pay. Fire doors didn't close. Only one elevator worked and was badly in need of repair. No end caps on stair railing and one railing held in place with hose clamp.. Health and safety would have a field day..

My family and I were put into a room directly adjacent to ongoing construction. Elevator access was blocked during our check out and had to carry entire family’s luggage through the most ridiculous path possible. When bought up with property was shrugged off. When brought up in direct survey, GM reply also shrugged situation off. I will purposely go out of my way to not stay with IHG owned properties again.

Travelled with family and small children
Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms at the hotel were clean and functional. We liked that they used Dove products which were excellent for a family with sensitive skin. The pool was small and a bit cold, but our young child still enjoyed it. The poor ratings relate to the shuttle, location and general customer service. There is no instruction to call for the airport shuttle. After waiting 10 minutes we called the first number we found on the website and were told the shuttle comes every 13 minutes. We waited another 10 and dug further to find the local phone number and spoke to the shuttle driver who said it would be 18 minutes, which in the end turned into over 30. The shuttle is really just an old van. While the hotel appears close to the airport it took 18 minutes to drive there with no traffic, and we passed another Holiday Inn that was much, much closer - the name “Calgary Airport” is very misleading. There is nothing nearby. They gave us free breakfast to compensate for the shuttle confusion, which was appreciated. We arrived at 9:32 pm and were told our only food options were delivery because the restaurant kitchen closed at 9:30. We ran to the restaurant with all our luggage to see if they would make something we could take to the room and were pleasantly surprised to find out they don’t close until 11 pm. Clearly lacking some communication between departments. Kids eat free and dinner was quite good. The breakfast is good for a free breakfast, but I wouldn’t pay for it.

I like the location, for me it's centrally located with my customers. Having said that, and I've been staying her 3 or 4 times a year for the past 10 years, they have let the hotel get a bit shabby, especially the common areas.
