Travelling for business means that you don't always get what you set out for. Booking of a last minute business trip to Calgary during the week of the Calgary Stampede results in having to take chances on accommodation. I do not normally make the Super 8 chain my first choice but in this case I just needed a bed to... more
Overall, it's about what one can expect from a budget place....
Pros:
1. Continental breakfast (the usual offerings, including baked muffins, English muffins, boiled eggs, yogurt, and bananas/apples, but easily above-average quality)
2. Location within a few minutes' walk to a Budget Rent a Car location (we flew in after 9pm, took the shuttle to the hotel, then rented a...

Best value for money on our 4 weeks trip through Canada.

Oil show attendee - Check in was very good. The room was very good and overall I felt that everyone there was working to meet my needs and allow us to have a pleasant stay.
I just needed a room for a short time before a midnight flight. This was chosen for its location, its price and its free shuttle service to the airport.
Good service and nice place to stay and they have a very good service and free parking. They also have free parking and free breakfast in the moring but I didnt get a discount because I was a truck driver.
Stayed here to meet friends who live in Calgary. Typical Super 8, noise in hallways, room was reasonably clean, accessible features were good! breakfast was nothing special - can't they buy oranges? Staff answered all our questions. A little hard to find the entrance to the Hotel ... fooled my GPS it did!
for the price, this is the best value. free breakfast, free parking, ample parking. 20% off at pappa johns
This hotel has had a lot of wear and tear. The first room assigned to me was cold and the heater did not work. The second had a malfunctioning heater as well. I got it to work but only by fiddling with the controls. Obviously needing repair as well.
Room was fine , short stay on our part, staff friendly efficient, shuttle took a long time to pick us up on arrival
Stayed overnight before our flight and left the car for a week. Thanks to Tom at the front desk - great rate and stress free! Room was clean and got the shuttle to the airport on time. Would definitely stay at the Super 8 again
If your looking for a clean and comfortable place close to the airport it's perfect.Staff is always very friendly and helpful. I've stayed at this location several times!
Stayed at the Super 8 for one night in February. The desk clerk, Tom, was very friendly and helpful as I was travelling on my own. He took care of watching my luggage in the lobby, and was very interesting to talk to. Checkout was a breeze . The breakfast was also very nice here. I would definitely stay here... more
It was nice to be here. We stayed for a night to catch flight o Phoenix. The rooms are clean and the staff members are great. Management should get Microwave into all the rooms that will be my only suggestion.
This hotel has a good location near the airport. Parking was not good, we had to park along a driveway. The room was clean and quiet.
Breakfast was provided, but very bare bones even for a continental.
The price was good for the area, but definitely not great value for what you got out of it.
Stayed there before our 14 day trip and upon our return. Different rates for each night. Booked on line got one rate, booked by phone got a higher rate upon our return got a higher rate still again. There should be one rate applied for all nights with no gauging of the traveling public. Will not recommend this hotel to... more
Many hotels around this one and we chose it for the rate. Very nice and clean room, quiet. My friend an I stopped there to visit another friend downtown. There was a computer in the lobby we could use to find our way (Google map) and I must mention how kind was the manager at the reception who helped me... more
Good location, close to restaurants, & especially convenient to get to the airport. Other shopping nearby was handy too. Short 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown for some sightseeing. Husky gas station next door and drug store a little drive down the street was great. Room was comfortable & clean. I'd recommend staying again.
We had an unexpected layover in Calgary.This hotel is nicely located in close proximity to the YYC airport,but is quiet as far as air traffic noise.The receptionist was helpful.Our key need was to leave early,so we arranged a wake up call,in order to leave with the shuttle at 4:15 the next morning.This was done for us requested,with no charge for... more
Not one to complain unless it is really bad, but this place was really bad,our blanket had a big stain on it and chair had a cigarette burn in it, the bathroom had bloodstains on the floor, mind you the staff was quick to get us new blankets, but it's is defenitly scratched off my list to visit again.
Me and my fiancee booked a room with two queen sized bed. They're the same price as one bed, which is great. We asked for the room on the 4th floor, good view. 5 minutes walk to Tony Romaz, Earls, and McDonalds which is great. Bed was comfy.The only thing needs fixing is that all light turns off if you turn the light switch near the main door, but the bathroom light is not affected. Overall... more
We had a over night - so we were looking for a reasonably price hotel and we were happy with our stay
The clerks were very friendly and positive people, the shuttle driver very friendly, and the kitchen staff member very happy and friendly as well. Overall a very positive stay. I stayed here a few months ago, so I knew it would be a good choice to come here again.
excellent service, room was great, breakfast was good and the man at the front desk was so accommodating and personable. We got picked up at the airport before travellers who had stayed at other hotels. Price was very good.
it was a very pleasant stay there and I was very relax and felt right at home due to the staff and friendliness and kindiness
Hotel was good, but street access and outside appeal was low quality. You have to drive through he parking lot of the adjacent hotel to get to this hotel.
Totally mislead about this hotel. Several hotels call themselves "airport hotels" when they are not even close to the airport. Ends up costing you a fortune in taxi fare if your traveling. The person at the front desk was very rude and not helpful at all. Did not help matters much that his English was so poor you could barely... more
Calgary has a real problem with a lack of hotel inventory. Whenever any significant meeting or convention is in town, you cannot get a room. I was forced into this hotel as quite literally, it was the only room in the city. At 179 per night, it was hardly a bargain. I had an "upgraded" 2 queens room, the only... more
The hotel was not up to the standard it was over value for the night stay i would not stay there again
I stayed for two nights this week for a training course up here in Calgary.
It has been about five years since I stayed here, the differences I noticed:
It is non smoking now, no more saturation of Frebreeze!!!!!
I small free breakfast is now included
Flat screens are standard with a good selection of channels
Furniture has been updated...

When we checked in, we saw a sign indicating airport shuttle. When we inquired the clerk, he said it was free with a charming smile. When the shuttle driver (taxi) came, he informed us that the hotel did not tell him it was to be paid by Super 8 Calgary Airport. Therefore, we called the hotel and the clerk said... more
Everything about this hotel is extremely ordinary and rudimentary. The room was clean enough, the beds were comfortable enough - but only in the basic minimum level you'd expect from any hotel.The continental breakfast was very mediocre. Wrinkly/old looking donuts - hard boiled eggs, a waffle maker with some pre-made batter type stuff (my friend tried using it and the waffle stuck to the... more
easy to find,clean,beds are comfortable,close to gas station if needed,over all a good place to stay
This hotel is located among various other hotels and I would have to say, choose ANYWHERE else. I checked in and when checking the bedding, found it was dirty. Took pillow cases off and the pillows were disgusting. Asked to be moved, the front desk agent said there was nothing, few minutes later said there was a room. I stayed... more
Bathroom had used soap in shower and dirty toilet. Told front desk and was told "hopefully your next stay will be better"
why are the safes in the rooms charged for when not ordered? Hotel was quiet, and comfortable. Would recomend this hotel, but be sure to bring your confirmation with you .
We stayed 3 nights in the hotel. After the first night we found our car (and 2 others) with smashed window. They didn't have cameras in the carpark, so the police couldn't do anything. We spent a whole day to get it fixed for about 220$. The internet often didn't work at all.
The cards for the room always stopped...

We checked in to the Super 8 Airport at Calgary, Alberta on July 20, 2013.
First thing we noticed was the floor was not clean. There were bits of paper and lint and some bits of plastic were under the table and on the bathroom floor.
The bathtub was not very clean and the bottom of the tub had no...

We booked through Expedia ( definitely will re-think that action in the future ). The cheapest hotel that was available for the evening was at the Super 8. It was during the Calgary Stampede and following the floods, but even given that imagine the horror when we realized the room was $218!
The lobby and hallways were absolutely filthy! Mud...

Stayed at this hotel while visiting family. Overall service average with a friendly staff. We checked in on Monday leaving on Saturday. The Friday night rate was outrageous jumped 150%.
I have stayed here a few times in the past, and as recently as a month ago. This time, my room rate was doubled, as the hotel was filling up fast with flood victims who were forced out of their homes. I checked out early, to catch an early flight, and found there was no hot water. Not impressed! I... more
My daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights in June because she was in a wedding party.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very accommodating with whatever we needed. The location was great for us as well.
We stayed here 0n 05-16-2013 so we would be close to pick up our camper the next day. Wow this is realy close so you can pick up camper and then get youre luage no worries no extra cost for taxi. The room was clean, the people helpfull and very friendly. The breakfast was more then enough choise. Bread ,... more
They call it a"Hotel"? Yeah right maybe a "Shmotel" theres your title. They mention "calgary airport" in its name to make people associate it with real hotels like "Delta" that is in the airport it self or like "Sheraton" hotel in Toronto pearson airport, but this lice-infested brothel-motel is defeintly shouldnot misslead people by mentioning calgary air port under its... more
The room was great and very clean. The price of 2 queen bed suite worked out to be better than a single queen bed. The price $161/night included breakfast and free airport shuttles. There was free wifi but I never used it. The downside is it is about a 15-20 minute car ride from the airport and there is not... more
You generally know what you're getting with a Super 8, and that was pretty much the case here. A basic but comfortable room, no complaints there. Similarly for the breakfast, very basic, but OK for the price I was paying. WiFi worked well, at least in my 1st floor room. One annoyance was having an extra $2.10 tacked onto to... more
My vehicle was broken into the first night there. Check in - waited 10 mins before anyone came to the front desk and he couldn't find my reservation....after 10 min's of searching and throwing a (just a moment)finger in my face because the phone was ringing - he sorted it out. As for the rooms, mine was average - and... more
A basic room but all you need as a pit stop. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recconmend. Easy to find with restaurants surrounding. Easy access into downtown calgary via lrt. Free wifi, breakfast and shuttle to airport.
Cause the property itself has issues. Safe didnt work, bad bed, very noisy ac unit and staff talking loud and swearing in the hallway.
The staff at Super 8 Calgary were all friendly and welcoming.
From Nadir the Manager who went out of his way to help with a situation . The following morning he popped in while I was having breakfast and again was kind and thoughtful.
It was natural with that leadership that the rest of his staff were kind and thoughtful....

There were no surprises with this room. It was a bit further from the airport than I thought and shuttles were only at set times. I flew out early morning and I would have preferred an earlier shuttle but i had to wait until the one at the 'set time'.A bit expensive for Super 8 but otherwise it was fine.
First of all the heating was poor and it was called (I was staying there on Christmas eve 2012) and the closet was small and short and i asked 4 times for hangers (there were only 3 in the room and i needed at least 10) and after all that got only one more , after 2 days paying day... more
Poor check in process... The key to my room didnt work, so instead of fixing the issue, they gave me the master key to all the suites... Remarkable how and why they would do that. The staff were poorly trained, and not overly pleasant.
Review of Super 8 at 3030 Barlow Trail, Calgary Alberta
Was decent hotel for a stay in Calgary for one night. Location was not bad as it was in a quiet and safe area of the city. Not really close to airport but it seems there are not many hotels like right next to airport. On arrival hotel is on...

My husband made the reservation for 3 couples for the night before we flew out of Calgary to the US. The lady with whom he made the reservation failed to record the rate agreed to at the time the reservation was made. We told the owner when we checked in that the rate charged was not the rate we had... more
This was better than an average hotel. The location was good for me since I wanted to stay somewhere close to north east Calgary.
We were arriving in Calgary quite late and leaving very early the next morning so we decided to make reservations at a less expensive hotel. What can I say other than this was a mistake. The shuttle service as advertised was going to be at least an hour wait. We decided to take a cab, and even though this was... more
Stayed here as an overnight on a return trip from Cuba. We arrived at midnight and only had to wait 15 minutes for a shuttle, that was great! The driver was very friendly and helpful, another plus for a tired traveller.
They have a very nice continental breakfast (waffle bar!) and the shuttle back to the airport was on time...

Lovely hotel. Its close to the airport (when the airports way of getting to it isn't changed) and near lots of restaurants. The decor in the room is a bit dated but it was comfortable. Our tub ended up being drippy and someone left the plug down so it filled with water. Simple fixes.
Great staf and affordable price and a great location
Good, clean and reasonably priced. 15 minutes from airport. The staff was helpful and I was able to print out my boarding pass using the hotel guest printer.
It's an okay hotel to layover. Nothing special. Breakfast is so-so. The room is so-so. Good value if you need to spend night and stay close to downtown for < $130.
That a hard time finding a place to eat most place were closed. And some troble? didn,t hear my wake up call and mist suttele had to take taxie to the Airport ?The pick up was friendly the room was OK The Price was a lot more then the room I had in Vancover at same super 8
rooms were in great shape staff was helpfull and the super breakfast was wonderful ground transportation was on time
Fine to crash for a night before an early flight. Nothing special but airport shuttle is nice.
Okay for the money you pay. Could improve staff and breakfast.
Super 8 Hotel was ok, but not great. We found the lobby to be very dirty and appeared old and "run-down." Rooms were ok too, but not overly clean.
Expectations were low being that it was a budget hotel, but the staff was great and the rooms were clean. It was very convenient for a one night stay before heading to the airport early the next morning. The hotel is located near many dining choices as well.
I'm not normally inclined to this type of value type motel chain, but Orbitz suggested this. Ok,Canada is not cheap, but a $!00.00 a nite for this room is way over priced. It's bare bones, from the furniture in the room to the old stle ac/heater in the wall and even the the "free" breakfast had almost nothing too choose from. Considering where it was a like property in the US, would be in the... more
