Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport

Bathroom door did not work right. Outside noise very loud

Excellent staff - especially in the 1250 Bar and Grill Great food

Interacted with 3 different front desk staff: 2 were pretty robotic and seemed like they were not having a good day, but one gal was particularly helpful and friendly. Interacted with 2 different restaurant serving staff: the friendlier of the two took our order, but then never came back (I think he went off to deliver room service), then the other server brought us our food, then never checked up on us except when we flagged her down - which in itself was difficult. The rooms are oddly shaped and set up with not much space in a double, so we upgraded our room for a reasonable fee so we would have enough space to open our suitcases. My guess is that because this is an airport hotel, most people are pretty transient and not staying for multiple days. Maybe that's why the service staff don't seem to care as much. That being said, Holiday Inns are pretty reliable in the quality of the beds, cleanliness, amenities and menus. I would still book a Holiday Inn for future trips, but perhaps I will avoid any ones near an airport for this reason.

Nice and clean , great service
