"Best on the Strip."

I recently stayed at Holiday Inn Express University area Calgary, as I have many times previously. Love this place. Rooms are clean and offer everything I need. The pool and hot tub are great at the end of a long day.They offer a full breakfast, which saves me from spending time and money elsewhere. It's close to the stadium, which is great when we want to walk over to a game. This is my go to hotel when I visit Calgary.
