COMFORT INN & SUITES AIRPORT SOUTH, Calgary

The hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the airport and is well-positioned for those departing on flights or arriving late. Several restaurants, including Indian, Chinese, and other options, are within a 0.5 km walk, making evening meals easy without a car. The location is also convenient for shopping at Sunridge Mall and for access to key spots like the Peter Lougheed Hospital. Drive time to downtown Calgary is roughly 30-45 minutes, and taking an Uber costs around CAD $15. For those exploring the city, the area is quieter and feels safer than the city core. A car rental service is right next door.

Rooms are clean and comfortable, with firm beds and quality pillows that many find supportive for a good sleep. The rooms are well-equipped with a desk, tea and coffee facilities, ironing board, and free toiletries. Some rooms have windows that are half the standard size due to their basement-level location, and some offer a jacuzzi-style jet tub designed for use before 10 PM. The decor is basic and dated, though cleanliness is regularly noted. Room size in suites is generous, and the bathrooms are practical. There are no balconies. The layout includes some rooms with connecting doors, which can be requested for families or groups.

Breakfast is available from 6:30-9:30 AM on weekdays and 7:00-10:00 AM on weekends. The breakfast includes a waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, yogurt, and juice. While the variety is appreciated by some, the hot items (eggs and meats) can be inconsistent in quality and are made from processed ingredients. The breakfast room has limited seating, which can feel crowded during peak times. For a wider selection or a different style of meal, there are numerous restaurants just across the street offering takeout and dine-in options. Coffee, tea, and lemon-flavored water are available 24/7 in the lobby.

The pool area is a key attraction, particularly for families with children who enjoy the water slide. The pool and hot tub are generally well-maintained, though the hot tub has been reported to operate at a lukewarm temperature at times with weak jets. The pool closes at 10:00 PM. There is no life jacket service available, so families need to bring their own for children. The fitness centre is available free of charge for those who wish to work out. When operational, the pool and hot tub provide a significant leisure advantage for a short stay or a stopover.

The airport shuttle operates 24 hours for arrivals - call the hotel after collecting luggage - and runs departures on the hour between 3:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The hotel does not provide car seats for the shuttle, so families with infants must bring their own. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and works well for general browsing. The parking lot is uncovered and accepts guest vehicles only; leaving the car after check-out costs CAD $5 per day plus tax. A business centre with fax and photocopying is available for a fee. The front desk offers express check-in, secure luggage storage, and lockers. The hotel is accessible with toilet grab rails and wheelchair access, and there is a lift. No spa or on-site restaurant is available.
