Review from Cynthia G.
Toronto, ON
I've stayed her about 10 times this year and I love the hotel.
The front desk staff is very welcoming and always helpful.
The rooms are clean, bright and always taken care of well. Almost all the rooms have been renovated and are nice in decor. The free wireless is actually pretty strong.
The lobby has a great lounge/bar/lobby and is great space and always nice to bump into friends after a long day.
All the amenities are great.....I've not used the pool though.....Room service is good. The food is the typical Sheraton fare. -

Review from dinah g.
Calgary, AB
I was invited to a friend's wedding reception here, and let me tell it was very impressive. Two elegant ballrooms are available for parties up to 300. Our gathering was approximately 150 people, and all tables were decorated with chair covers, sashes and tulle.
The lobby entering the ballroom is quite wide, enough room for the elaborate desert and long buffet tables. Service of waiters was 5 stars, my water and juice glass were always filled and dirty dishes were immediately taken away. Everyone looked so shimmery and glistening amidst such elegant decor, camera flashes were going off through the whole evening.
The bride had a surprise for her hubby; a slideshow of their past together, so there was a digital projector screen and stereo sound. We were all in tears by the end of this presentation and pulled it together when the Elvis entertainer finally arrived.
The food was amazing, ongoing beverages all night, there was roast beef, salmon, Cesar salad, delicious soups and an extensive desert bar complete with ubi cake ( traditional Filipino purple cake) and the bride's favourite Nanaimo bars.
A successful, well performed evening by staff and administration of Sheraton. Did I enjoy my friend's reception? I DO! Wait a minute, I did. -
Review from Rick C.
Very nice Sheraton. Lobby is nice with a Starbucks. I was told it was renovated recently and it looks it. Modern decor with flat screen TVs, comfortable beds. Only complaint is the water pressure is low and it takes forever to get hot water to the shower. Not 5 minutes from airport any more. They are adding a runway and blocked off the street leading directly to the airport. So now it is a 15 minute drive. Don't trust your GPS unless it has been recently updated.

Review from Christie S.
Vancouver, BC
I have stayed at this hotel several times for business. It is located fairly close to the airport, although if you like to set out on foot after work to find a great place to relax and eat, you might find yourself right back at the hotel. The area is typical of much of Calgary's strip mall hell, and unless you like the typical chain restaurant parade, you'll have to travel a fair distance by car or cab to get to anywhere decent.
The rooms have been recently renovated and very clean and comfortable. Staff is helpful and friendly. Catering and sales service, if you are planning an event, is fantastic! This is a great place to host a meeting or conference. -
Review from Princess M.
Understaffed and an inconvenient location, but otherwise, cheap and a good place to stay.
The phone rings frequently without anyone picking up. But when someone does pick up, they are usually very helpful.
The small gym is open 24-hours, which is great. There are free apples at the gym.
There's a 'members' lounge' (you qualify if you are a Starwoods Preferred Guest member) on the 8th floor that serves up continental breakfast in the morning and hors d'oeuvres in the evening - free for 'members' and still cheaper than the room service menu even if you're not a registered 'member' ($12 for breakfast, $9 for hors d'oeuvres).
There's also a water park within the hotel, which is kinda cool, complete with various pools and a huge (for an indoor hotel in the middle of nowhere) water slide.
The hotel is about 15 minutes away from the airport and 15 minutes away from downtown Calgary by taxi (about $20 per trip incld tips), so it is quite inconvenient if you need to get around the city. However taxis are usually available at the hotel and the hotel does offer free shuttles to the airport every half hour.
The rooms are large and clean but dated. They do come with a flat-screen TV, iron, hairdryer and a mini fridge (locked but you are provided with the key). There is internet access by ethernet cable and by wireless connection ($10-ish per day) in the room. There is no safe in the room.
I like it that they have a check-in kiosk for certain airlines (Air Canada and Westjet) at the hotel lobby.
The biggest perk is that it is a relatively cheap hotel, compared to its downtown compatriots. -
Review from Gary M.
Edmonton, AB
Stayed here last week after a Calgary fundraising event. The stay could not have been better. We arrived late, and happened to luck into a room that was recently renovated just 2 days earlier....absolutely beautiful. The only drawback was there was just a shower, not tub. If you stay here, ask for a renovated room, as I hear the older ones are not nice at all...

Review from Ms. B.
Calgary, AB
Traveling with kids? ask for a room on the second floor, as that is the floor for the pool is located on. If you are here on business stay on any floor but the second. This place has largest/best hotel pool in Cowtown. Its also very busy. The hotel's proximity to the airport makes it popular with travellers, the pool makes it popular with young sports teams and families. This hotel is not new, but frequent renovations keep it looking spiffy. The pool has 2 water-slides, a small-ish pool for swimming 2 big hot tubs and a shallow little kiddy pool. Towel service is free/lifejackets for a small rental fee. Lots of chairs/tables for the parents who just want to hang poolside and watch the shorties swim. There is a poolside restaurant that serves very expensive snacks/fast food. Lifeguards are present at all times.
The rooms are the classic Sheraton rooms with the sweet sleeper beds, clean and comfy. There are 2 restaurants and one pub in this hotel, and a small gift-shop that serves starbucks coffee. Colors restaurant is pretty casual this is where you want to take your kids, as it is super kid friendly and Carver's is for the fancy pants and the childless. Both are very consistent. Colors has regular salad bar/buffet/spaghetti night evenings and Carvers is essentially a steakhouse. Room service is very good, too. All public spaces are fairly wheelchair accessible. Pet friendly, and the staff and management are polite and accommodating to the guests .
