Nice but not the best

Overall, this hotel was nice, and the staff were kind. However, one thing muddled the stay. The bathroom sink did not drain. When we left for the evening, we told the front desk so that they could request for maintenance to take a look. We returned approximately 4 hours later and the sink was in the same condition. After calling again, they sent a security guard who just unscrewed the metal... more

Excellent

Very clean, the people was polite and helpful. The restaurant food is great. Excellent hotel.

All around was good

Good experience - friendly staff - in for one night not there long - very clean

Excellent location

Staff were informative and friendly. We enjoyed facilities eating in Atrium restaurant, exercise room, and had a very good sleep in clean bed and clean bathroom facilities. Nothing really to complain about.

This hotel proudly wears the Delta name.

My introduction to this hotel was the charming and professional young men I encountered at the front desk. It set the tone immediately. Subsequently, everyone I had occasion to interact with re-enforced this first impression, from housekeeping to management. Anytime I met a hotel employee, I was greeted and acknowledged with pleasant smiles and a cheery "Hello" or "Good Morning".The employees... more

Handy to city

Good overall for a break away, check in was a little slow, room was mixed up, but room service food was great

Nice hotel

it was a nice hotel, was given an free upgrade, only problem I had was placed right next to ice machine and could hear it turning on every half and hour. the only other problem was children running through the hotel at late hours of the night, interrupting my sleep.

Spruce Meadows

great hotel, staff friendly, hotel clean and comfortable, great value

Clean, quiet and comfortable room.

Just needed the room for a nights sleep. It was clean, quiet and comfortable.

Nice hotel for business trips

Clean, comfortable, good service, well equipped gym. TV had some issues with the digital reception on a couple channels.

Charged me too much!!

I booked a hotel and paid well over $400. Upon arrival, I thought the hotel was not as nice as the price would indicate. So I asked about it, and the person at the desk told me that due to the show in town, the elevate their prices dramatically. This seems like "Gouging" to me!?!?I'm a loyal customer, and was not attending a show of any kind. This seemed like I was taken advantage of!!

Noisy

We love so much about this hotel but the noise on our last trip was unbearable. Carts going on tile floors to the elevator in the middle of the night out side our door. Drunk guests pounding on doors and yelling from the third floor down to the desk. Security would do well to be more visble in stopping this... more

Brunch at the Atrium Lounge

I would first like to say I have never stayed at this hotel, this review is solely based on the restaurant
We recently had brunch at your Delta Calgary South location on Sunday April 27th. I myself am a Calgarian born and raised and have been to this location for brunch several times and have always left full and impressed.... more

weekend wedding

We just spent the weekend in Calgary, and stayed at the Delta hotel. We were traveling with my baby, who they accommodated very well. The room was recently renovated and was very clean, comfy, and modern. We stayed on the atrium side which was really nice, made use of the hot tub and had breakfast brunch both mornings. They even... more

Pretty ugly event

A fair size group of us (80) had rooms this weekend for a family event. Most of us had at least one comment.
Male staff members asking women for their room numbers in pubic, maybe innocent, but certainly poor security training.
An undercooked omelet is returned burned black on round 2.
A complaint against a bar tender leads to refusal... more

Concert trip

We chose this hotel due to it's close proximity to the lrt. Room was decent and clean. Hotel was quiet, front desk staff courteous and efficient. We ate in the pub and the food was good. The waitress heard us say we were running a little late and put a rush on our order. Altogether a positive experience.

Long walk

The Delta Calgary South is well-located for a business traveller, like myself, visiting locations in Southern Calgary, thus minimizing the time spent sitting in traffic.
Knowing I was in the Atrium, not the tower, I drove directly to the atrium entrance and parked in their convenient outdoor lot with plenty of spaces available. On entering, I was greeted by a... more

Great hotel to stay in if visiting or working in Calgary

I spent 4 nights here in April when I was in Calgary on business. Check in was quick, we actually were able to get into the room 3 hours early which was great for us. The staff are all extremely friendly and always in great moods. The room was a decent size, two queen beds, desk, dresser, TV, small fridge,... more

A Hotel of Two Halves

The hotel sits on two separate blocks with a high level walkway between them. The Atrium has recently been refurbished, but unfortunately the Tower hasn't and the rooms are looking very shabby. If you have a dog you have to stay in the Tower.
There is no air conditioning available, just central heating that you don't have very much control... more

Long day and night in Calgary

We decided to stay overnight as we had a long day and night ahead of us. It was great to book a room with Aeroplan points that was close to where we needed to be that day.
We were greeted by Brandon upon check in. He was very friendly and greeted me by my name and offered to help out... more

Big Bang for our Buck

We arrived, inquired about upgrades, were advised for a small fee, we could upgrade to a suite.
We were making a very long trip the following day, and really wanted to ensure our family (of 4) had a very good nights rest, so agreed.
Afterwards we realized our upgrade included breakfast for all 4 of us.
WE highly recommend spending... more

Very consistent and isn't that what we really want

This is my third time in as many years staying here with our volleyball team. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfy and the front desk staff are very friendly. We have always been well taken care of and this time was no exception. I was running late one morning and as I met up with the team at... more

great for a business stay

I stayed at the Delta Calgary South for a business meeting in April. The hotel was clean, comfortable and had excellent service.
The room service offered healthy breakfast options and the best steel cut oatmeal that I have ever had at a hotel. After the room service was delivered, they called to see if everything was ok and if I... more

Excellent Hotel, Great Rates

I stayed at the Delta on short notice after coming to Calgary to watch a Flames game on a Friday night. I stayed in a Delta King room. The bed was extremely comfortable. Usually I wake up periodically through the night; however the king bed was so comfortable I slept through the whole night wonderfully. It was one of the... more

Excellent Staff at this Delta Property

Have stayed several times recently, and like all Delta properties staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms in the "Atrium" as opposed to the "Tower" are much nicer. I don't usually have time for breakfast when i'm travelling on business, but the couple of times I've tried it i was very impressed; its a cut above most hotel breakfasts.

Was good, when it was Best Western

Here is the scoop on this hotel. We have been staying at this hotel for 13 years when visiting relatives. There are 2 parts to the hotel- tower and atrium. We have never, until recently, stayed in the tower as we have our preference of rooms. We travel as a family and the kids obviously love pools. We generally book... more

Safe bet on south side for business travelers

Brief stay as in town for overnight business trip.
Staff was friendly and efficient.
Recently renovated room and bathroom were clean. Shower had great pressure.
Appreciated complimentary Starbucks coffee station near desk, was stocked by 6 AM so no need to head out in cold to find coffee before meeting.

Average Times in Cowtown

I stayed here for a few days as I normally do on Calgary business trips. Maybe I'm just getting old but this time I found myself a bit worn from all the walking in this hotel. The room was a hike from the restaurant and I had to use both front desks for various reasons which was a real jaunt.... more

Great Stay

My family and I stayed here over New Years and thoroughly enjoyed it! We'd been given a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe room in the Atrium building. Beautiful room, very spacious and clean, with more amenities than we needed! Every single employee we came into contact with had a genuine smile and greeting for us. They were quick to respond... more

It's just ok

Stayed at many other deltas and this hotel doesn't compare. Definitely needs to have some quality control in the cleaning department. Seat in a family suite that had been updated but only partially. Had dirty stained carpet and needed a paint job. Prob won't return for the price we paid unless some up keep and up dating is done

Kid Friendly

Great place to stay while in Calgary. Close to shopping. They are kid friendly and have great pools:) The rooms were clean and we enjoyed the food available in the hotel. Will definitely stay there again.

Weekend business stay gone bad

My co-worker and I were very excited for our weekend conference and a nice cozy room after our 3 1/2 hour snowy drive.
When we arrived we were taken care of in a timely manner and directed next door for a nice hot supper with friendly service.
We pre-ordered our healthy breakfast that night and received it right onetime even... more

Nice staff, warm floors

We stayed here because it was close to the Rocky View hospital. We needed a good nights sleep prior to surgery so chose the slightly pricier club room. It was perfect! Comfortable, great layout especially if you are travelling with multiple things that require charging. Desk is set up with a built in power bar. And a heated bathroom floor... more

Great service but prepared for a hefty taxi fare from the airport

The service at this hotel was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff who go the extra mile to ensure guest comfort. The desk clerk took on taxi dispatch duties ensuring we all got to our destinations on a day when the roads were very bad and taxi service slow. The rooms are modest but clean. The only down size is that... more

Great service, great location

This hotel is great access to both the south of Calgary and Downtown. They provided me with some of the best service that I have received yet at a hotel and I travel frequently. The buffet breakfast is a MUST! They will definitely be my hotel of choice in Calgary into the future!

Average hotel with decent updated rooms

I work in Calgary and my company was having a two day forum out at Spruce Meadows. I live in Airdrie so I decided to stay in the hotel one night with some of the other out of towners instead of sitting in traffic for hours each way driving home and back again the next morning. The hotel is in... more

Fine for business travel

we stayed here before an early flight to the airport, ,most things were accessible from this location but did not have a warm and cozy atmosphere about it. Very business-traveler oriented. Your basic hotel experience

Good business hotel

I title my review "good" business hotel because my overall rating would be good but there is nothing between the "average" and "very good" ratings. I stayed at the Delta for a second time in a year on business. Check-in was fairly quick but I was disappointed when I saw my ground floor room at the very end of the... more

Special stagette

BooKed this hotel for one night, for a stagette. Really nicely decorated room with fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were really comfortable, And the room was very quiet at night.

Atrium Cafe and 2013 Thanksgiving dinner - disappointing

My family also booked Thanksgiving dinner in the Atrium Café and were very disappointed. When the bread was not presented before the salad, we asked and it finally arrived when we had pushed the salad away. My "salad" was an attempt at nouvelle cuisine that failed. Two paper thin slices from an old carrot (poor flavour), two slices off a... more

Happy with our stay

We chose this hotel based on it's location and price. We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to stay a little up-scale but not break our pocket book.
Check in was very quick and the lady at the front desk was very pleasant. When we walked into our room, a king size Delta room on the 8th floor of the... more

Atrium Cafe Worth A Visit

I live in Calgary, yet I visit this restaurant regularly for dinner, Sunday brunches, and (as was the case tonight) a four course Thanksgiving Dinner, managed by a very talented Holly. She made my family and I feel welcome and has a delightful personality. The chef, Dana Rogers, planned the menu very carefully. I enjoy the Apple Jack, a before... more

Far from the airport but a good hotel for business

Stayed here 1 night last week for a business trip. Downtown Calgary was mostly sold out. What was left was tired old places that didn't look very nice.
Delta was very comfortable and great value. The service was good and while the hotel itself has aspects that seem dated, the room I was in was updated and modern, very spacious... more

Location sold us

One night spent at the hotel in preparation for a meeting in the immediate area.
Pretty good overall and nothing significantly negative that I might now remember - that's a good sign. Staff at the restaurant in the Atrium section were particularly accommodating.

Not sure I'll stay here again

Rooms are very dated, mattresses seem to be 100 years old, and the controller for the A/C does not seem to respond to the settings (I could not turn the a/c off!, the fan kept going throughout the night). Internet connection was really bad, I could barely send and receive a few emails, not to mention not being able to... more

Great (Business) Stay

Selected the Delta Calgary South due to proximity of work (visiting corporate office from another city).
I was greeted warmly both at the front entrance and by the front desk clerk. Check-in was quick; directions to room in the Atrium building were accurate. After walking into the room I get now why so many of our company employees stay here... more

worst experience ever

worst hotel experience ever. first time i stayed here a couple weeks ago, the elevator broke and i was stuck until a 3rd party company could make it there and get me out. when the doors opened, there wasn't even a hotel representative there to be hospitable in the least bit. even the guy getting the doors open was on... more

Quite good - Meets expectations

Nice hotel, a little dated but OK.
Room size was smallish, but tasetefully decorated.
Clean.
Good front desk service.
Okay waterslide, pool and amenities.
In general, a mid class hotel for a mid class budget. Don't expect too much and you'll enjoy it.

Business stay.

This hotel was recommended to me by the company I was working with in Calgary. It is situated in a nice enough area with sufficient restaurants etc within walking distance. I was on the eighth floor... more

I feel completely ripped off. For the price of the room, and the value I received, there was quite an imbalance. I could have stayed at some budget motel and had a nicer and more updated room that was actually cleaned properly. My room was a filthy DUMP.

It took forever for me to get into my room because the cards they gave me were having issues opening the doors.

The room was made but I... more

They saved my trip

After being kicked out of the Holiday Inn Express South for posting an unfavorable review on their website. I was without a reservation looking for a hotel for the evening I got great service and... more

Nice hotel

Somewhat old fashioned rooms, which need an upgrade. The breakfast buffet, is great especially the eggs and pancakes ;-). Two swimming pools, the one with the slide with too much chloride. Great and... more

Good value

Looked for a room close to IKEA with a pool for the kids to have a swim before hitting the road again. Delta fit the bill with a waterslide. Check-in was smooth, the front-desk staff directed us to parking for our camper, as well as to the room. Room was clean, beds were comfy. The waterslide and hot tub was... more

This was a four star experience without the price of a four star hotel. Inside the hotel is absolutely beautiful! The color scheme is bright and there is lots of windows letting in the light and exposing guests to some beautiful views of Calgary.

I ate at both the atrium cafe as well as Boom town pub which is across the parking lot and found the food at both to be excellent. The only advice I... more

Beautiful hotel

This is actually our second time staying here the first was for a hockey tournament. This time we were in the atrium building and our room overlooked the pool and restaurant area.
Our room was huge, very clean and very comfortable.
Would definitely stay here again

Fantastic customer service

We arranged a group booking for our wedding guests through the Delta Calgary South and couldn't be more pleased with the service we receieved. From our initial point of contact to getting our group booking site set up and then all the way through our stay, the treatment we received was first class. I would highly reccomend this this hotel... more

Nice Corporate Hotel

Stayed here several nights at the beginning of August, 2013, while participating in dog shows at the Spruce Meadows Equestrian Center, some distance from the hotel. We were staying here (rather than closer to the dog show site) as this was the "official" hotel for our dogs' breed club. Our room was on the third floor of the Tower section... more

Impressive

We are a family of four (kids aged 7 &4) that opted to stay here in July. The rooms are not what I was expecting - at all! They are very clean, modern and spacious. The bathroom doesn't look like your regular hotel room - the hair dryer is tucked away in a cubby below the sink, there's beautiful dark... more

Family/business trip

Our family has stayed at this hotel several times over the last year and the reason we stay here is because my husband is here on business and his company is paying the bill. I don't think our family could afford to stay here if it was on our own budget.
Anyway to review the hotel. We have only stayed... more

Good Hotel Overall, Atrium is Better

I had the opportunity to stay at the Delta Calgary South for 7 days over two separate times in a two week period. The first stay I was in the Tower section of the hotel which is the older part of the hotel. It was cleaned well and is your typical Delta hotel room which was nice. The air flow... more

Family fun

Newly remodeled. Great pool and staff. The dining could have been a lot better though slow service and ran out of whole wheat toast. Was able to move from main building to the atrim tower much nicer rooms and ambience.
The bathroom / shower was luxurious. Loved the purple decor

Delta Calgary South Rocks

Check in was easy and the front desk people were friendly and helpful. Our kids were given toys to play which they all enjoyed and appreciated. Hotel room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. I was impressed by how each employee greated us when we walked past them. Parking is free at this hotel! We will be back... more

Good location, tastefully decorated and spacious rooms

Friendly service, and very nicely renovated rooms have improved this older property
The south central location just off of Macleod Trail is convenient, and they have a couple of restaurants, a pool and fitness center, plus the Boomtown lounge.
Although it was a little noisy with some people in the hallways when I was there, the the bed was comfortable,... more

Not impressed

We stayed for 2 nights and weren't very impressed by this hotel. Hotel room was hot, didn't seem to have much in the way of A/C even though we had the temp. turned right down. Had to ask more then once to have them put towels in the pool area. Pool seating area had garbage laying around one time when... more

Could be better

My husband, daughter and I stayed here July 19-21 as we had a wedding to attend in Calgary. I booked the hotel and told the rest of our family- we booked 6 rooms in total. Our room was the "family suite" with a queen bed in a separate room, and the bunk beds in the other. It was perfect with... more

Great Stay in Calgary

My friends and I had a short stay at the South Delta Calgary hotel during the Stampede weekend. The staffs were friendly and caring. The hotel was very clean and the room is spacious. There was also a microwave and a fridge. Our window was facing the parking lot so there was not much to see from our room. There... more

Noisy

It may not be the hotel's fault but when they book wedding parties that party in the hallways between 2-5 a.m. in the morning and you call security 3 times to no avail, something should be done with their security policy. They should have called the policy and removed the partiers!

Delta is a large chain of 40+ hotels in many Canada cities and none in the United States. As such a large chain, they know how to operate and provide services as well as any Hilton or Marriott property. But they are affiliated with neither, which as a Marriott Platinum I find to be a bummer.

But once we get past that, it's a nice property. Nice location on MacLeod Trail and a short walk to the... more

Company Christmas party was held last evening at this hotel - second year I have attended. Well, lets start with the parking - plentiful and well cleared from the last snow which is we are dressed up in our Sunday-best. The main lobby and public spaces are dated and not as 'refined' as one would find in a downtown hotel - has more of a road-trip motel feel rather than a true 'hotel'.

The room... more

Ambiance: Good
Room: Good
Service/Concierge: N/A (not used)
Parking: Free
Location: Average

I hate to say this but this is one of the few substandard delta hotels I have stayed at. The room was tight and the lay out is very confusing. The parking is outside and I didn't feel comfortable parking in the area.The front desk staff was not very polite. One of the few hiccups in the immaculate... more

“Great place to stay, central to where we wanted to be, easily accessible.”

This review is solely on the Delta's Easter brunch.

Good brunch, lots of options ... like most buffets, not the highest quality, but definitely satisfying for an early afternoon of copious feasting.

The staff is actually very friendly and very accommodating. I thought of giving the place 4 stars based on their performance, but I think primary importance in the rating is the food itself.

Very comfortable accommodations

The Delta South is very well suited for a business traveller and families. The hotel has two pools and well equipped work out center. Very nice restaurant in the atrium.

This is my new home in Calgary.

- Very clean
- Super-friendly staff
- Easy drive south on McLeod Trail from the city
- Nice little gym
- Really good breakfast buffet in the atrium
- Big Gusher waterslide - opens at 9am - lots of fun
- Boomtown Pub is attached and has great food, beer and atmosphere

Note - WiFi is free if you are a Delta Privilege member. I am not sure of the price otherwise.

happy guest

the weather at Calgary was extremely cold (-31c/-24F) but the hotel's enclosed courtyard with a pool, a cafe and a collection of plants brought a tropical feel to the wintry gloom. The rooms in the courtyard had balconies that faced the open atrium with it's beautiful views.the service was wonderful and friendly.

“ The room exceeded our expectations, the staff was the best we have encountered anywhere. The facilities were very nice, good clean pools and hot tubs. ”

Quality with great value

From check-in to check-out the staff was more than accommodating, the room was super clean, excellent food in the Atrium restaurant......overall, we were pleased to have stayed there.

GReat palce to stay

Very nice hotel at a reasonjble price

Exactly what we needed

We picked this hotel based upon location and it was exactly what we needed. The room location was far enough away from the pool that we had some peace and quiet. We have had some problems with Delta hotels in the past but this experience was good.

Love it there

i simply loved everything about the place. its is so relaxing, and a beautiful environment. As you enter the loby, its got elegance. the rooms are fabulouse, very clean and the pool and the spa is fabulouse to relax.
