Editor's Analysis
Updated on Feb 17, 2012
Overview
The Super 8 Calgary Airport in general was not well reviewed or liked by guest. Compliments were few while complaints were very easy to find. It appears this property has some consistency problems with everything from customer service to cleanliness. The only consistent praise was close proximity to the airport. Average guest ratings were just 5.7 out of 10 points (on a 10 point scale) and 3 out of 5 points (on 5 point scales).
The Good
Praise of this property was difficult to find. The only real consistent comment was that guest generally liked the close proximity to the airport. Some mentioned that if you could get a room for a cheap rate it could be worth it for just one night, but typically many found the standard rates to be a bit expensive and would not recommend staying for more than a single night.

The Bad
Complaints were a common trend among all reviews from a variety of sources. Guests typically did not like this hotel and recommended against staying at the Super 8 Calgary Airport. Some reviewers expected a business centre considering this was considered an airport hotel, however were surprised to find were told to go to another hotel down the street to use that property’s business facilities.Beds were said to be uncomfortable and there were some issues with cleanliness. Bathroom floors were said to need a proper cleaning and the carpet was dirty in the room and in need of a proper vacuuming. The rooms were dated and showing signs of wear and tear. According to some reviewers on Expedia.com the breakfast was very basic and nothing special. In addition, a TripAdvisor.com guest reviewer mentioned the breakfast area was left unattended which made it prone to get messy. Unfortunately for this hotel, there were many guests that said they would never return to this property and warned future travellers to stay away and chose a different hotel.
I checked out the following sources for this analysis, here’s what I found...

CanadianHotelGuide.com guests rated this hotel fairly low with an average 5.7 out of 10 points. This property was ranked close to the bottom of all hotels in Calgary. Complaints about room comfort and cleanliness were common.

Expedia.com guest reviews averaged to 3.2 out of 5 points with only 62% of guests recommending this property at the time of writing. Location was one of the only positives about this property, while room condition and cleanliness were an issue.

TripAdvisor.com guest reviewers ranked this property, like CanadianHotelGuide.com reviewers, fairly low on the list of Calgary hotels. Average guest ratings were 3 out of 5 points with many reviewers that warned future guest to book somewhere else and stay away from this hotel.

"Beds hard, marginal customer service, very high priced for what you get. No business center, was told to go next door to the comfort inn if I wanted to print off my boarding pass, you are close to the airport and you have no way to print boarding passes off? Would only recommend if you have no other choice."

"Good Value for Your dollar"
"The only thing I would mention is that the bathroom floors need a real good cleaning around the tub and baseboards. Other than that the room was clean and close to most everything we were interested in going to."

"Needs to be cleaned by house keeping a little better. Between the beds where a vacuum cleaner doesn't get to, garbage is accumulating. Kind of a turn-off. Makes you want to inspect the whole room after seeing that."

Susan from Lethbridge, AB CA rated Super 8 Calgary Airport 6 out of 10 on July 09, 2006 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Super 8 was not my first choice, but due to the Stampede hotel space was at a premium. My prime reason for picking this hotel was proximity to the airport - and otherwise it met basic criteria. I made two requests - cot and wake-up which were addressed promptly. Nothing to write home about but if I was in the same situation again would return. However if there were other choices I would have stayed somewhere with a few more amenities for the kids. The price was not really value for the dollar."

Philip from Royston, GB rated Super 8 Calgary Airport 2 out of 10 on June 19, 2005 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"I was not allowed to book into this hotel as I had a pet cat with me. I ended up having to book 2 rooms at the Travelodge at much extra expense. After a long flight from Heathrow this was the last thing we all needed. In my opinion the man on the check-in desk was very rude and unhelpful and should not be working directly with customers."

"When I spoke to the night clerk, he totally dismissed my complaints. The complaints were, two light bulbs were burnt out, the door to the bathroom was coming off it's hinges and the furnace filter was disgusting. The clerk said nothing could be done about it untill the next morning. When checking out the next day, I spoke to another clerk and told him the same thing, only to find out the night clerk had not told anyone."

Verified Guest from Saskatoon, SK CA rated Super 8 Calgary Airport 5 out of 10 on November 28, 2004 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"The cleaning staff was incredible - they did a great job of cleaning the room, and unlike other hotels, did not touch our personal belongings at all (there are ways of knowing!). The hotel check-in staff, though, left much to be desired. They were dismissive and outright rude at times. The "continental breakfast" the hotel advertises is actually coffee, orange juice, frozen jams/peanut butter, and bread...to make toast in a toaster that was barely functional. We stayed at a Super 8 in Winnipeg that was amazing, which is why I chose the hotel again for this Calgary trip. The two don't even compare - the Winnipeg hotel went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The Calgary staff (minus the cleaning crew) did not appear to care whether we were there or not. I will not be staying there again. The only highlight was that I saved so much money booking through your site."

Guy from Bonnyville, AB CA rated Super 8 Calgary Airport 4 out of 10 on July 14, 2004 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"I have stayed at Super 8 hotels that were equally as clean or cleaner, convenient, etc. but I recall paying in the neighbourhood of $90. This room was way overpriced at $168. I don't care if it was Stampede week or not, no hotel room costs that much unless you have many more amenities than were at Super 8. Also, the hair dryer didn't work. I set it aside, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was just put back up, for the next set of folks to deal with. Then again, maybe it was fixed promptly. But I don't really care; all I know is, I wanted it Tues. morning and it wasn't working for me."
