Feedback about Holiday Inn Express And Suites Calgary By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the hotel's convenient location, especially its proximity to the train station with free rides downtown, making it easy to explore. The spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with great views, are equipped with amenities like coffee makers and fridges, and many guests appreciate the comfortable beds. A good breakfast is commonly mentioned, and while most find the experience positive, some have pointed out issues such as cold food at breakfast or out-of-order laundry machines . Complimentary underground parking adds to the convenience, particularly for those planning to visit attractions such as the Calgary Tower, located approximately 2 km away.
