Country Inn & Suites

I stayed at this hotel because it was the cheapest 2.5−3 stars hotel in Calgary with free wifi, free parking, free breakfast with close proximity to the downtown and the airport at the time.
I certainly was not disappointed. They offer free shuttle to/​from the airport during your stay. We utilized the shuttle service to pick us up and the shuttle bus came very quickly. We followed their intruction (on their website) and called them up from the free courtesy phone at the airport to have the shuttle pick us up and the shuttle was there within minutes!
Upon checking in, there were some cookies, candy, fruits, coffee and tea in the lobby. The hotel is not fru fru, glamorous or fancy but it was very clean and has a good size room and very comfortable bed. We were staying in a room with a king size bed.
The next morning, breakfast was pretty descent. There were eggs, bacon, self-​made waffle, pastries, bread, bagels, muffins, yogurts, cereals, juices, fruits etc. Good amount of selection. The eggs though, tasted like something from a package/​frozen stuff… and the bacons were soaked in grease, cold and could have been a lot crispier. but well for the price we paid for the room, the breakfast was descent.
We didn’t use the pool so I can’t comment on the facility. but overall, we had a pleasant stay and checking in/​out was super easy and fast. no complaint!

I have been to this hotel countless times when travelling on business and i love it. Despite the location (i have meetings downtown and this is located in the NE end of town) i always request to stay here. I love the fact that they have a great pool/​hot tub, a terrific little exercise room, fast free WIFI and terrific service by the front desk. Guess what the kicker is? A great free breakfast in the morning which includes eggs, sausage and all the stuff someone that likes a healthy breakfast needs as well. There is not much in regards to night life in the area so i tend to grab some Sushi from up the road, get a couple beers from the local «kingfisher liquor store» and do some work after a work out. Check it out if you don’t mind the drive downtown (it isn’t long) or have meetings in the NE of Calgary.
