"Good"

Grand Hotel & Conference Centre Calgary Airport, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient, and we really appreciated that breakfast was included, so we didn’t have to worry about leaving the hotel in the morning to find somewhere to eat. We also needed self-parking, and it was great being able to park right outside our window, which made things very convenient. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again."
