“This hotel certainly caters to families with its indoor pool area-the waterslide is a unique touch that kids will love. I noticed that its location allows for quick trips to both the Calgary Zoo and Stampede Park. While the complimentary breakfast aims to please with its signature cinnamon rolls, what stood out to me most was the flexible meeting space designed to host corporate events.”
