Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport
"There is quite a bit of parking and the property is pretty big. The rooms look a bit dated and are squishy. The toilet is small and there aren't a lot of amenities. I don't know why ID for each guest staying in a room was asked for when checking in."
