Top Varsity Hotel Reviews

Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooom was clean and exactly what I expected. Great to lay my head after a long day."

Comfort Inn & Suites Calgary Airport - North

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived very late. Pickup was prompt and the driver was very friendly. Check in was smooth. Because we had to leave before the 6:30 breakfast, we were provided a breakfast to go. Bed mattress was firm but to our liking. All in all... a pleasant experience for the short amount we stayed."
