This hotel was a welcome surprise when we arrived in Calgary to -19 temps for our 20 hour layover between flights. Our kids loved the amazing pool and water slides, our teens enjoyed the hot tub and even did some slides, and we also enjoyed the hot tub.

For our kids, the hotel pool is always the highlight for them. This is the best hotel pool experience we ve encountered to date. (With the exception of resort pools overlooking the ocean )

Our room was a nice size with two queen beds and a pull out couch and also a nice feature of a sink inside the bathroom and a second one just outside the bathroom.

The breakfast is what really sealed the deal for us on the incredible value of this hotel. Multiple hot items; bacon, sausage, decried beans, pancakes, french toast, waffles already made, scrambled eggs and eggs Florentine.

A full cereal bar, meaning more than 5 varieties. A yogurt, granola and fruit bar, a huge selection of breads and toasts, and also a lovely pastry selection. I believe there was more that I didn t see because we got up at 6:30 to catch a plane and I was a little tired!

I asked where the tea was and the server brought it to me and kept the pot full.

Shuttle was efficient and on time with plenty of room. They were very user friendly and helpful.

We actually said we should plan a trip to Calgary to Come back to this hotel! I will be telling all of my friends with kids about it as well and to be honest, we ve been Embassy Suites patrons for 15+ years because of their three beds in a room and wonderful breakfast but we are not looking into other best westerns for upcoming travel.

Thank you BW POC for the fantastic experience!
