Hotels With Pools in Alberta, Canada

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport for a quick stopover. As a frequent traveler through Alberta, I find this IHG property generally reliable, but my January visit was a mix of classic hospitality and a few seasonal frustrations. The Highlights: Late Night Relaxation: The pool area was buzzing with families and kids throughout the afternoon and early evening. However, I headed down about an hour before closing and it was a total shift in atmosphere. I managed to have a peaceful, quiet session in the hot tub, which was the perfect way to unwind after a long drive. Comfortable Rooms: As expected from this brand, the bedding was crisp and the room was well-insulated against the Calgary wind. Convenience: The proximity to the airport and easy access to Deerfoot Trail remains a major selling point for this location. The Drawbacks: Elevator Maintenance: It was a bit unfortunate that during my stay, one of the elevators was down for modernization maintenance. This led to some noticeable wait times in the lobby, especially during the morning checkout rush when everyone had luggage. Winter Parking Issues: This was my biggest hurdle. Given the intense cold during these Calgary nights, I was relieved to see outdoor stalls with plug-ins. However, I discovered the plug-ins were not powered, meaning my vehicle's block heater wasn't working overnight. Starting a cold-soaked engine the next morning was a struggle; I’d really love to see these activated for guests during the winter peak. Summary: Despite the elevator delay and the parking power issue, the staff were friendly and the amenities were clean. It’s a solid 4-star experience, though a few ”winter readiness” improvements would make it a 5.

Good location, however in the faucet everytime you switch to hot or cold water something yellow spits out every couple seconds. There was a mini bar and we did not touch it yet still got charged for a peach water which I did not use and when I phoned once I got the bill they told me that because it was in my room I was charged regardless if it was touched by us or not. My partner and I did not drink anything from there and no one was in our room. Otherwise good location for going out in the downtown and very comfortable beds

Unfortunately, the front desk staff didn’t seem very welcoming. Their expression and tone gave the impression that they were not interested in helping guests. Overall, everything was great. The room was clean, the facilities were nice, and the stay was comfortable.

The hotel has charging piles, making it convenient to charge electric cars like Tesla. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioner is quite noisy, but this is a common issue with independent air conditioners, after all, the compressor is indoors. Fortunately, Calgary isn't hot, so there's no need to use the air conditioner. 😜

Overall good experience, very convenient location and close to Airport, I am not sure about Hotel breakfast policy but they should consider keeping Egg Cheese Omelet separate from other meats i.e. Pork etc. Since some people have dietary need like myself and my family so we have no other options then to visit Tim Hortons or other place for breakfast although we have paid for the breakfast. I asked the same question with the reception guy but they were unaware so we have to wait until breakfast time for answers which is NO.

I really loved this hotel; it offers great value for money and the service was quick. The small convenience store on the ground floor was super handy for snacks and water, and it was great to get ice in the evenings. The heating was incredibly warm, and the parking lot was huge. If I come back to Calgary, I'll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

The bed was super comfy, and the room was clean, bright, and hygienic. The hotel amenities and services were good, and the front desk staff were very welcoming. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, which is really convenient. The price was quite reasonable too!

I went to the store to upgrade the Vice Presidential Suite. The size is not small, and there is only one bathroom, which is not reasonable. The food in the executive lounge is small and monotonous.

The cleanliness is actually OK, but it's quite run-down. The wash basin in my room was completely cracked and looked disgusting. I couldn't get through the two days I stayed there; it was a bit nauseating just looking at it. The breakfast was OK. Parking was convenient.

The location worked for me because of the functions I was attending in the neighbourhood. It may not for others as there no restaurants or shopping close by. A typical airport hotel. Room was clean. Good basic amenities, fridge, microwave, iron & board, work desk, tv etc. I really liked the shower stall instead of the typical bath tub. The 24 coffee service in the lobby was a plus. There is also available snacks available for purchase. The pool and hot tub were nice to relax at after a tiring day. One of the elevators shudders as it reaches the 4th floor. The breakfast area was little crowded in the mornings with people waiting for things to be replenished. I skipped breakfast on both days I was there. A good stay overall.
