Top University District Hotel Reviews

Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Good value considering the price relative to other hotels in that area of Calgary. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The linens and towels were good. I would have appreciated a paper and pen in the room, obviously I needed to write down info while on the phone.... forgot to bring one from my car. Yes... guests will take these away; put your name on them, then it's cheap advertising. I would have also appreciated a digital bed-side clock. The only real bad point was the total lack of care of the landscaping. This did not give me confidence when I turned into the parking lot. Time to get this cleaned up and replanted. I will recommend this hotel to my friends."
