Hampton Inn & Suites By Hilton Calgary- University Northwest
Clean, great breakfast, nice big gathering space in the lobby for large groups. The only reason for the 4/5 is the hotel is currently undergoing renovations. They have gone over and above by ensuring their guests can use the pool across the way.
