Best Western Plus Village Park Inn

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience! The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the nearest metro station, making it easy to get around Calgary. There are plenty of dining options nearby, so you never run out of choices whether you're in the mood for quick bites or a sit-down meal.

The American-style breakfast buffet was impressive—wide variety, fresh ingredients, and even some hot local favorites like porridge and noodles. The only minor downside is that the breakfast area is located in the central atrium, so guests on the first floor might notice some noise. However, this didn't take away from the overall excellent stay. Highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and great value.

The Westin Calgary

Staying at The Westin Calgary was a great choice during my visit to Calgary—mainly because of the trust I have in the Marriott brand. The room was slightly compact, but perfect for solo travelers. What really stood out was the breakfast: both the buffet and à la carte options were delicious and well-prepared. On my last morning, I had an early flight, and the kitchen staff went the extra mile by packing a breakfast meal for me—such a thoughtful touch! The front desk team was also incredibly helpful and patient, taking time to explain each dish with genuine care. One minor note: the bathroom door doubles as the closet door, so when closed, it reveals part of the wardrobe inside—slightly awkward design-wise, but not a dealbreaker. Location-wise, it’s fantastic—walking distance to Chinatown and major shopping areas, just a short stroll from the light rail station, and only about 20 minutes by Uber to the airport (which makes sense given Calgary’s size). Overall, excellent service, convenient location, and top-notch amenities. I’d definitely book here again next time I’m in Calgary.
