Calgary Hotels with Gym

The hotel was very clean and was in the perfect location being close to the Airport and my sister's house aswell. There was some confusion as to information told to me.over the phone. When I arrived there were some issues that needed to be worked out but in the end we checked in and settled right in comfortably. The pool and hot tub was a great bonus. The staff was respectful and kind. I would stay here again for sure.

Spent 5 nights here and was very pleased. Staff were, without exception, pleasant, friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room was spacious and well-equipped. Restaurant/bar served good range of food and drinks. Reasonably priced and tasty. One thing which puzzled me was that, having paid for breakfast in advance, I was left to serve myself from the drinks and buffet area. I had no problem whatsoever in doing so. However, over the course of several breakfasts, I noticed that a few other guests were served by the waiting staff. It was not clear why this was. The hotel has pleasant decor and good facilities, including pool and gym. However, it is slightly puzzling why it is called Holiday Inn:Calgary Airport, as it is not in close proximity to the airport in the manner one would usually expect. Which leads me to the only problem I have with this hotel; its shuttle bus. The IHG app indicated that a shuttle bus was available. Indeed, it provided information as to where the buses were to be found - with information relating to both international and domestic terminals. I went to the appointed place and waited and waited. No shuttle bus appeared. I was really keen to get to the hotel as I had arrived on an early morning flight from the U.S. Finally, after an hour, I called the hotel and spoke to someone who said he would transfer me to reception. The connection then dropped. At the same time, a driver from another hotel group informed me that one had to order the Holiday Inn shuttle. I telephoned again and, this time, was told that the shuttle bus would make its way to the airport to collect me. Which it did. By that time, I'd been standing outside the arrivals area for well over an hour. When I got to the hotel, reception staff told me that the requirement of ordering use of the shuttle in advance had been in place for about four years. That being the case, why for goodness sake doesn't the app, the website or the email one receives in advance of a stay tell people that! It was frustrating to the point of annoyance and really out of step with all other customer service/relations. I had the interesting experience of the hotel being evacuated one evening due to a fire alarm (found to be false). Staff seemed to handle the matter competently. It's reassuring that a Fire Station is very close by - much closer than the airport and the firefighters didn't have to wait for, or order, a shuttle bus.

This location is so perfect if you want to walk around the streets of Calgary. My room was a standard King it was the best experience I’ve ever had. They just had a moment of tech issues when it comes to claiming my breakfast voucher, but aside from that, the staff were so nice, they kept the room clean, the amenities were so worth it.

Good location. Comfy bed. Bathroom could use some improvements but overall pretty good for the price. Would be nice if smoking was allowed on the balcony, as that's the only reason I booked the balcony.

Show that you care! The hotel is new, beautiful and well located. The breakfast room is impressive with its size, tall ceilings, views and terrace. The breakfast itself is great with its variety, including waffles and a delicious South Asian(?) vegetable stew each day. The suites are large and well equipped, and the bed comfortable. Now if only the staff could treat customers a bit better. We paid $30 for underground parking, which was important to us because we got an upgraded rental car and were liable for it. On the second day, the garage was completely full, with more cars entering the garage - thanks to a broken capacity indicator that permanently shows 208 spaces. Staff basically blamed it on the fact that the garage is a private facility unrelated to the hotel. They sent us to two nearby surface lots. One was only available till 8:00 at a cost of $22.52. The second one was a dirt field. 1. I don’t care whose lot it is. You sold me access to it at an extortionate price and did not mention any other options, implicitly endorsing it. 2. Don’t sell more spaces than you have, especially at that price. 3. Know and explain options. Don’t direct your customers to a lot that only sells space till 8:00 for over 3 times the price as the next lot. You are wasting my time. Then at 4:00 am, we were woken up by a loud motor noise coming from the fridge. We had to move it and unplug it (it’s a full size fridge, not a hotel fridge). The clerk’s reaction? “Sorry about that, I’ll tell maintenance.” We had one night parking taken off the bill. No consideration for the hassle both from the parking and the fridge. You can do better. Better policies, better communication and a bit more generosity. Overall, not a good experience.

Very nice property. The guestrooms are well maintained and adequate for a good night of sleep. Staff and cleanliness are great. Breakfast is excellent. The hotel lounge has a small menu, but great for a dinner or a drink.

I’m giving this 4 stars based on the Oasis Waterpark and our time spent there. Without that, I would score the hotel as a 3 (3.5). The hotel room itself was pretty standard. 2 queen beds, clean enough except for a dirty vent in the bathroom and a pre-existing stain on the carpet (see photos.) The air conditioning unit in the room was incredibly noisy and made for a rough night sleep on night 1. On night 2, I opened the window to allow for some “street white noise” and this helped to lessen the noises made when the unit turned on and off. Room was clean, housekeeping staff friendly and prompt to make our room up after night 1. I will note that the shower pressure was minimal, which made washing shampoo out of the hair challenging. The Oasis Waterpark is great. We missed the bulk of the Labour Day weekend travellers and had hours here to ourselves. Waterpark staff were incredibly kind. They also stay busy! Some observations from the Waterpark: - The slides are cleaned daily, which is great. It does result in minimal downtime for one/both slides for a bit, but I can appreciate keeping them clean. - The rest of the Oasis was kept clean, with staff frequently spraying things down. - I lost count of how many times water quality was tested for all bodies of water, great work. - Water in the main pool was pleasant, warm in the toddler pool, and a bit chilly in the pool where the water slides dump you. (Not a bad thing as it encourages people to move along out of the way quickly.) - Hot tubs were definitely hot! - It notes no people under 16 in the hot tubs but children were in them with their parents (we did the same, kids needed to warm up after the slides.) I see no issue with this if times are kept short. - Dry sauna was closed for the duration - The water slides are great but safety rules must be observed. We saw two injuries and both times it was when people were not following posted rules (tandem rides, entering the slide before the previous rider was most of the way down, sliding headfirst.) We will stay again so that we can visit the Waterpark.

Hotel did not return our deposit of CAD 180 even though we’re sure we didn’t break anything. Tried calling them but they told us to call at 10am, yet to call again as we’re busy lately. Food was great and room was clean. Kitchen staff was kind but took long time to refill. One type of food was all gone even if it was still early (potatoes). Front desk staff were good

Really great hotel; nice rooms, bedding, shower. Seemed like it was brand new but I didn’t ask. We had a king bed with this mini couch that we discovered pulled out to a bed. We walked to the Peace bridge which was nice. Stephen Avenue was about 1/2 mile walk and a ton of cool restaurants and pubs are there. This hotel has a cool rooftop and two restaurants but we didn’t get a chance to go. People seemed to like them.

Everything about our stay was top notch. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed. All staff we encountered either at the front desk, bar, restaurant or housekeeping were very friendly and ensured all our needs were met. The hotel is located very close to the City Hall LRT stop, so travelling around town was very convenient as we decided to NOT rent a car on this trip. A caution though, this location is not in the ‘heart’ of downtown so we found it somewhat limited if you want to go out and stroll around for shops, restaurants etc.. Since we were here visiting family, this wasn’t top of list for us. Also the breakfast was fantastic and fully met our expectations.
