My husband, son & I spent our last night of our Canadian Rockies vacation at the Executive Royal Inn because we had an early morning flight and wanted to be close to the airport. The hotel appeared to be mainly for business travelers and conventions, but it was convenient for us as well. The room was clean, a nice size, with a queen bed and a convertible sofa, and had a micro-fridge and coffee maker. We utilized 1 of the 2 hotel's hot tubs. We booked through AAA Motor Club and got a fairly good deal for decent lodging in Calgary. The hotel is not a 5 star property, but it worked for us.

We stayed at the Executive Inn Calgary twice last week. The first was for one night on the weekend ($99). The room was clean, staff friendly, check-in fast. The second time was for two nights during the week ($140), but that was a larger room and included breakfast. I believe the same room we stayed in the first stay was around $130 during the week. The extra $10 was well worth it. It obviously is not a luxury hotel, but it is quiet and clean which it what we are usually looking for (especially on a business trip). The only complaint was the internet. The first room we stayed in had a really sketchy wireless connection that sometimes worked and sometimes not. The second stay there was no wireless connection. I was told it depends on where you are in the hotel whether it will work. They provide a cable, but with two laptop users in the room this just doesn't cut it.

Great overall stay!!! Good Service, Reasonable Rate, Decent Location

Okay, you're driving across Alberta on the Trans-Canada highway, or you're stranded at Calgary International Airport and need someplace to sleep for the night. But where you stay needs to have a better than average restaurant, room service, a fitness center, a swimming pool, a spa with a certified masseur on staff, and it needs to be near Calgary's industrial estates complex. In addition, it must be moderately priced, have free parking, and have free Internet. Then the Executive Royal Inn is your place. It's halfway between the airport and the Trans-Canada highway, it's surrounded by industrial parks, and it's moderately priced. It's even on two different Calgary Transit routes. But it's *not* downtown--even though you can see downtown from your room window. If you really want to be in centre city, this may not be your place. I took some pictures. They should be attached to this review.

We spent one night at this hotel and will be spending another 2 nights when we fly out to Mexico. This hotel is easy to get to and we found the check in was great and accommodating. We arrived early because we were going to a funeral and the hotel was very accommodating and checked us in early. This is a basic hotel but very clean and the price is right. We ate in their restaurant and it was a Prime Rib Buffet. It was excellent. Looking forward to returning in three weeks.
