Hotels Near Masjid Bilal Da＇wa Center in Calgary

There is a big gap between the five-star hotels in our impression, and it is almost the same as our domestic four-star Holiday Inn Express, but the United States and Canada are similar. The hotel is good value for money, the swimming pool is relatively small, the standard American breakfast, and I eat too much.

We recently stayed at this hotel for the Canadian Ringette Championships. Charlyn (Asst Mgr) and her team were great to work with from start to finish. We had two teams and families staying at the hotel during the 9 day tournament. They opened their boardroom space for the teams to enjoy the Virtual Opening Ceremonies, which was the perfect space for the teams to show their Team Spirit and celebrate the opening of the tournament. Wendy and her team in the breakfast room were amazing each morning. Wendy welcomed the girls each morning with a smile and would get the girls pumped up for the days games. She truly made it feel like she was welcoming you into her home! The hotel was gracious enough to allow the teams to use the breakfast room for team lunches and dinners. This was just another way they showed their Calgary hospitality! The rooms were clean, the lobby area is welcoming and has coffee and tea available all day. There are a lot of restaurant options nearby (Milestones, Earls, Joey's) and quick, easy access to all parts of the city. Thanks so much Charlyn and Wendy for hosting all of us!

We have stayed at several Sandman locations, and based on the site pictures, we were prepared to be happy. But not so. The hotel is tired, very tired. At checkin, it was quite slow, due to a client haggling for a better price than what was offered. With 4 families in line to check in, we felt the desk clerk should have called for help. When we got to our room, it was extremely over-heated, and neither the thermostat on the wall (which we figured was disconnected) nor the remote heater control could shut the heat off. We went for dinner, returned, and found that the heater was still forcing heat. We asked for a room change, and we were given one quite quickly. Our new room was still very tired: paint on walls was chipped, bathroom needed renovation, walls were stained. THe carpet had stains, and the enamel in the sink was scratched. However, the sheets and towels were clean. The bed was comfortable. There was noise in the halls through the night, and we could easily hear the room beside us through the night. The shuttle to/from the airport takes from 15-45 minutes, so do be prepared for that.

Date of Visit: Feb 8, 2023 Holiday inn Express is always a great stay no matter where you travel, and The Calgary airport hotel is no exception. The rooms are very spacious and always well laid out. The rooms have 2 queen beds (or a king), are always comfortable, and come with an assortment of quality pillows. The rooms always have a standard of cleanliness that leaves you without worry. The Shower is very high and spacious -which is always important for us as One of us is 6’4”. The Bathroom is very large and always clean and free of issues. The Beds have never seen any visitors when I stay at Holiday Inn Express. I always check as soon as I enter the room. There is no cause for concern here. The Breakfast buffet is always a highlight at Holiday inn Exxpress. They always have Turkey Sausage on the menu, which is important o t us because we don’t eat pork (as with Many other people). So many hotels do not consider that and only offer pork. Eggs (scrambled and boiled – sometimes omelettes), bacon & sausage, many bread products, yoghurts, fruits, cinnamon buns, coffee & tea, cereals, oatmeal, and much more. The service was very friendly and helpful at breakfast. The guest service was exceptional. Everyone was super friendly. They have a shuttle at the airport to take you directly to the hotel, but their van was not working this day – they paid for a taxi to take me to the hotel. Katey was very friendly and engaging. We had a pleasant conversation about my visit to Calgary, which was my first visit. I was there to meet friends, but they couldn’t pick me up until after 2 pm. So I sat in the breakfast area and wrote rogue trippers blog articles while I waited and had countless cups of coffee while I waited. The staff were very kind and had no problem with me being there Their internet was being upgraded – and their IT guy even came over and helped me get back online while he was working on it. Parking – there is plenty of on-site self-parking. There is a pool, fitness centre, and business centre. I didn’t use any of these services. Holiday inn Express, a hotel chain, is always our go-to place to stay wherever possible. The comfort and little things that they do differently is always appreciated. It makes travel much easier and less stressful when you have a wonderful place to stay where you feel comfortable, safe, and well-fed.

This hotel not only met our expectations but surpassed them! All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The guest room is well appointed with a very comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, large screen tv, comfortable chair, a desk area, and large windows with blackout drapes. Slippers and robe are thoughtfully provided. The bathroom has a marble like surround with walk in shower. The vanity area has a large top. Hairdryer and makeup mirror supplied. Water pressure is great and the toilet even has a bidet. The property has a charming outdoor garden/patio area. The pool temperature is warm. The hot tub temperature is great, but is a bit on the small side. There is a well equiped gym for guest use. This hotel is truly a gem!

We have an electric car and so when we travel if possible we try stay in hotels that have an electric vehicle charger on site. I always call the hotel directly to confirm as the websites are not always accurate. We called this hotel directly before booking onine and were advised by the woman on the phone (who had to put us on hold while she checked), that there was a car charger in the covered parking area. Great - the only warning was it was first come first served (which is how most are). When we arrived we asked where the vehicle charger was located and due to language issues the front desk person thought we were talking about a car cell phone charger... but another person came over and told us no EV charger on site. That was the whole reason for booking at this hotel and on a long weekend most places nearby were sold out. So we had to change our schedule to go and find a car charger instead of being able to do this at the hotel as planned. We would not have booked had we been given accurate information. And to pour salt in the wound, after we checked in the same person at the front desk who thought we wanted a cell phone charger called to ask if we were satisfied with the room, and I said room was fine but unhappy about no EV charger, he got confused and put us on hold and left us on hold... I eventually just hung up. Poor service. Hotel was clean. Our room was large but very spartan in furnishings and dated except new flooring. Bed was OK and no issue with noise. Shower head was long past its prime so not a great shower. Door into the room was backwards and swung to the open room and not to the wall but it had a door arm on it so you could not open all the way. Thiis made it hard to get luggage into the room as there was a table that limited access. Never tried the included breakfast. Why don't hotels offer the breakfast right until check out time? Why do they cut if off so early? I feel ripped off.

Only stayed here because we were starting a coach tour through the Rockies, arrived a day early and this was where the tour started. We had booked one night in a king room and the tour had booked us in a queen for the following night. We asked if we could stay in the same room for both nights but apparently there were no King's available for the 2nd night. We offered to downgrade our first night to a queen but again this appeared to be a problem. That was until Kaylee The Guest Services manager came along and sorted everything and actually upgraded us for both nights. Fabulous room (although if you are a light sleeper you need to be aware that the trams run alongside the hotel) Room was large, very comfortable bed, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The whole hotel was clean and well maintained and 4 lifts meant never kept waiting long for a lift. There is a pool area which we did not take advantage of. Breakfast was good Canadian breakfast

The hotel check in and checkout staff at the front desk were great. Extended my check out as I had a late flight was very nice to have late checkout. The rooms are very clean and beds are very comfortable. A hotel shuttle service that was outstanding. Restaurant attached to hotel and dinner and breakfast were both very good. Recommend this hotel to anyone….nice a close to the airport.

Comfortable environment, there is grass in front of the door, there is a courtyard behind the house, there is a home in the heart, it is worthwhile to visit this trip, I hope that in the near future, you can come back to Calgary Brother Li B&B, talk about their lives again, no more words, can not express the sincere and sincere love in the heart, friends, you have come, Feel it, and it's worth the trip.

This hotel is wrong on Google Maps and Uber cannot navigate properly. Breakfast is free and cost-effective, ten minutes walk from mills, five minutes costco.
