“Holiday Inn Express's Calgary location puts guests close to the C-Train and downtown attractions, an advantage for those wanting to explore without a car. The inclusion of free underground parking and breakfast adds value, though current construction may impact the experience. I think the friendly staff and potential of its jacuzzi suites hold promise for a comfortable stay once renovations are complete.”
