Acclaim Hotel By CLIQUE
Nice amenities and beautiful roof top hot tubs and overall quality of the room- the attached restaurant was fantastic! Close to the airport to see the air traffic coming and going yet only 20 minutes from downtown Calgary. It was a great stopping spot for transitioning to Nunavut! All in all a great ...

Hyatt Place Calgary Airport
Stayed one night for a connection flight and couldn't be happier with the hotel. Shuttle service was great, the room was huge and very comfortable, the staff was attentive and the breakfast was pretty decent and at a good time! Definitely recommend and will most likely stay again.
