Hyatt Place Calgary Airport
We had no hot water and poor water pressure. I was cold taking a “hot” shower. Very convenient to the airport but food and even a gas station to fill up the rental car were further away than one would expect. Hotel was very clean. But when you want a hot shower - you want a hot shower.
