Hampton Inn & Suites By Hilton Calgary- University Northwest
The hotel is a little bit old but clean, it was not noisy, pretty good location but the construction was annoying, is hard to get a parking spot if you have a big car, the breakfast was so good but if you don’t get there really early there isn’t too much food left.
