Calgary Airport Sheraton: My Chaotic Confession and a Surprisingly Stellar Stay (SEO-Powered)
Okay, let's be honest. Sometimes, Calgary Airport isn't exactly the most exciting place on Earth. You're probably there because you're leaving Calgary, or landing in Calgary, and both scenarios usually involve a little bit of stress, a whole lotta luggage, and maybe a touch of existential airport dread. But, here's the thing: the Calgary Airport Sheraton? It might just be the antidote. Seriously.
Keywords, Keywords, Everywhere… and Accessibility for Everyone!
Right off the bat, let's get the practical stuff out the way. They've got it covered. Need accessibility? They're ON IT. Wheelchair accessible everything, basically. Plus, the elevator isn't some rickety contraption that smells faintly of old socks (you know the type!).
Beyond the basics, I quickly noticed the commitment to real life – and the fact that they're making a real effort in 2024's hotel landscape. Accessibility isn't just a checkbox; it's a priority at the Sheraton. And this, my friends, is a good thing.
Cleanliness & Safety - Breathe Easy, Literally!
Look, pandemic or not, I'm a germaphobe at heart – and the Sheraton totally gets it. I'm talking serious commitment, even for a cynic like me. They go above and beyond with the Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and the whole shebang. Seeing the staff actually using sterilizing equipment? Made me feel a whole lot better than the usual "spray and pray" routine. Plus, they've got Hand sanitizer stations EVERYWHERE. Almost felt too safe. Almost.
- They've got the Hygiene certification in place, which made me actually feel safe eating food in their restaurants. They also have Rooms sanitized between stays, which is so important.
- They are also offering Safe dining setups and have Cashless payment, which is just what I needed in this economy.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Survival to Bliss (Almost!)
Airport hotel food is usually a gamble. But the Sheraton? Not too shabby. They've got choices… and sometimes, that's all it takes to lift your spirits after a marathon flight.
- Restaurants: Multiple! From quick bites to sit-down meals.
- Bar: Definitely a necessity. Happy hour? You betcha. (And yes, I may have enjoyed it.)
- Coffee/tea in restaurant & Coffee shop: Because caffeine is basically essential for human function.
- Room service [24-hour]: Late-night cravings? Sorted. (Although, I shamefully judge the options, and the quality isn't always amazing – it is room service after all)
A la carte, Buffet, or Asian? The Sheraton has you covered, for better and for worse:
- I’m a big fan of the International cuisine in the restaurant.
- Asian cuisine in the restaurant: A surprising delight.
- Buffet in restaurant: The breakfast buffet is a life-saver. Even though it can be a little chaotic. The sheer variety is impressive. The pastries are… well, let's just say I may have had several.
Services and Conveniences: Because You're Worth It.
- Concierge: They were surprisingly helpful with local recommendations.
- Business facilities: Useful if you absolutely have to get work done.
- Luggage storage: Saved my tired arms.
- Daily housekeeping: They keep it spotless.
Getting Around: Stress-Free Transit
Airport transfer? Yep. Car park [free of charge]? Even better. Honestly, the proximity to the airport is a lifesaver. I'm not built for long walks with suitcases. And it's worth noting that they have Car park [on-site], which is a bit more involved, but still convenient.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: More Than Just a Layover (Maybe?)
Okay, so I wasn't expecting paradise, but…
- Fitness center & Gym/fitness: If you're the type who actually works out on vacation, you'll be happy.
- Swimming pool: Outdoor? Yes! (Didn't test the waters, sadly, but it looked tempting.)
- Spa and Sauna: Never got around to checking out the Spa, but the pictures looked relaxing! I am all for a good Sauna.
Rooms: Your Personal Oasis (Mostly)
The room itself? A definite win.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Thank goodness.
- Air conditioning: Essential.
- Blackout curtains: Sleep is a precious commodity.
- Comforts: They have the Coffee/tea maker, and, believe it or not, it was a real lifesaver.
- Bathroom: I loved that the Separate shower/bathtub
The "Good-Enoughness" of it All
The Calgary Airport Sheraton isn’t perfect. It's not a five-star resort. It’s a really good airport hotel. It’s clean, convenient, comfortable, and, dare I say, even a little bit luxurious in its own way.
My Biggest Takeaway???
It's not the most glamorous place, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Sheraton. It's a haven of clean, comfortable, and convenience – exactly what you need when your travel plans threaten to fall apart.
My Honest-To-Goodness Recommendation? Yes, book it.

Kyoto's Hidden Gem: Rin Manrikouji Temple – You WON'T Believe This!Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this itinerary isn't your polished travel brochure. This is a messy, honest, and probably caffeinated glimpse into my Calgary airport adventure at the ahem glares at the name Four Points by Sheraton. Let's go.
Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Dread of the Lobby
- 1:00 PM - Land in Calgary (YYC): Ugh, Canadian customs. Always a gamble. Last time, they grilled me about the "suspiciously large amount of artisanal cheese" I was bringing in. (Okay, maybe it was a little over the limit.) This time, it's surprisingly smooth. Success! But the airport – bless its bustling heart – is already teeming.
- 1:45 PM - Shuttle to Four Points: Found the shuttle! Praise the travel gods. Already feeling a flicker of annoyance. I mean, how many times does the airport shuttle driver have to take people to the same hotel? Do they ever want to just… go home?
- 2:15 PM - Lobby Reconnaissance: Arriving at the Four Points. The lobby is… fine. Beige. A sea of tired faces, lugging suitcases and the weight of the world. Checking in, I'm immediately sweating. And not from the Canadian cold. It's the sheer fluorescent lighting. It feels like a DMV in here, but with slightly nicer carpeting. I'm starting to suspect the "free Wi-Fi" is a siren song to keep you trapped in their soul-sucking, beige embrace.
- 2:45 PM - Room Debriefing: Okay, the room. It’s clean. Thank goodness. But as I unpack, a profound sense of "meh" washes over me. It's… functional. I glance out the window and see what I think is a parking lot, probably filled with rental cars and their associated anxieties about scratching your bumper. My inner monologue begins: "Is this it? This is what my life has come to? A room in a standardized hotel chain in Calgary?" I need a shot of something, anything, to shake this feeling of existential dampness.
- 3:15 PM - Snack Salvation (Mini-Market Panic): The hotel has a "mini-market." I sprint down the hall, fueled by the promise of sustenance. It's mostly overpriced chips and questionable candy. Crisis averted, and I grab a bag of… Doritos? Don't judge me. They're the closest thing I have to a friend right now.
- 3:45 PM - "Working" (Attempt #1): I tell myself I'll be productive. That I'll get "work" done. I open the laptop and stare blankly at the screen. The muted hum of the air conditioning is the soundtrack to my impending failure. Five minutes later, I'm scrolling through Instagram. So, maybe I'm not going to conquer the world today.
- 8:00 PM - Dinner Disaster (Food Delivery Edition): Okay, no, scratch that. Ordering food is a huge mistake. I’m starving. I order some…pasta. It's cold. The sauce is… suspicious. I eat half of it, mostly because the hunger is too strong. I'm regretting all my life choices.
Day 2: Airport Adventures and the Quest for Coffee
- 7:00 AM - Wake Up and Regret: Waking up. The pillows feel like they’re stuffed with concrete. I consider just staying in bed forever. But my stomach groans. Coffee is calling.
- 7:30 AM - The Continental Breakfast Conundrum: Down to the breakfast buffet. It smells…of sadness and desperation. The scrambled eggs look like a vaguely yellow, rubbery substance. I opt for a bagel. The toaster works, so that's a win. The coffee, however, is the watery, lukewarm betrayal I expected.
- 8:00 AM - "Working" (Attempt #2, with Coffee): Refueled (marginally) I open my laptop again. I’m determined. I make a valiant effort. And I get absolutely nowhere. My brain, it seems, has gone on strike.
- 9:00 AM- Airport Escape Plan: I'm over it. Time to explore! I mean, how adventurous can a hotel near the airport be? It's time to seek adventure.
- 9:30 AM- Airport Walkabout: I start wandering. Okay, the Calgary airport is BIG. Really big. It’s like a mini-city. I’m overwhelmed.
- 11:00 AM - Finding My Niche: I find a cozy-ish coffee shop. There's a line, which means the coffee must be better. This coffee… is amazing. The barista actually smiles. Maybe, just maybe, things are looking up.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch at the Airport: The airport has more food options than the hotel. I'm getting the feeling I should have just stayed near the airport.
- 1:00 PM - Pre-Flight Stare: I check out of the hotel and wait for my flight. I stare out the window. Into the vast, indifferent blue.
- 2:00 PM - Departure: Finally, I'm out. Never have I been so happy to see an airplane.
Final Thoughts:
The Four Points by Sheraton… it was a hotel. Not a disaster, but not a dream. Calgary, however, has potential. The airport coffee was a highlight. And next time, I’m bringing my own artisanal cheese.
London's Athenaeum: Unbelievable Luxury Awaits (You Won't Believe Room #7!)Calgary Airport Sheraton: Deal or No Deal? (Let's Get Real)
Is the Calgary Airport Sheraton REALLY all that? Like, is it worth it when you're not a trust fund baby?
Okay, so initially, I thought... "Airport hotel? Snooze fest." But listen, this Sheraton actually surprised me. It's not *exactly* the Ritz, but for a pre-flight chill-out, or even a quick overnight stopover (bless the travel gods for those!), it's a solid win. Yeah, the price can fluctuate wildy. I swear I saw it once for like, a steal, and another time… my bank account actually flinched.
My advice? Scout out those freaking deals. Seriously, set up alerts on different booking sites. You might snag a sweet package – like, a room *and* a free shuttle (which FYI, is a lifesaver at 4 AM when your brain is still saying "pizza") – which makes the whole thing a no-brainer. I've heard whispers of "club level access" but, uh, I’m not sure I'm *that* bougie, so can’t comment much, other than I'd *love* to try that one day! Let me know how it is.
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they like, actually clean? 'Cause I've seen some… things… in airport hotels before. Eek.
Okay, deep breaths. From what I've experienced, the rooms are generally pretty decent. Look, it's not the pristine, sterile environment of a hospital, obvi, but they’re generally well-maintained. Let's put it this way: I haven't seen any actual critters (that I know of!) or, like, suspicious stains on the sheets. That's a win in my book! Seriously, sometimes when I'm travelling, I'm convinced my bed's been previously used by a badger. This place is better than that, for sure.
Size-wise, standard rooms do what they say on the tin/box. But hey - they're functional, not cramped, and a great spot to crash after a long flight. The beds are usually comfy (this is REALLY important!), and I always check for decent lighting. There's nothing worse than trying to wrestle your suitcase shut in the dark, trust me. The bathrooms are what you expect. Clean, functional, and if you are very lucky, possibly with a decent water temperature, which is a real plus!
I'm a foodie, so is the food any good? Or am I stuck with sad airport sandwiches?
Alright, the food... this is a mixed bag, TBH. The onsite restaurant... well, it's convenient. It's there, and it *is* better than the pre-packaged options you can find elsewhere. I've had some genuinely decent meals there, and some ... well, let's just say they were fuel. It’s definitely not Michelin-star material, but it serves a purpose when you’re knackered and don't want to venture out.
The breakfast buffet? Okay, this is where it gets interesting. It's a buffet, so you know what you're getting into. There's usually an omelette station (score!), a decent selection of fruit, and the standard pastries. Again, it's not gourmet heaven, but it keeps you going. My one gripe: the coffee can be a crapshoot. One morning it's pure nectar of the gods, the next, it's like drinking dishwater. I swear, the quality changes almost daily.
*Pro tip:* Uber Eats exists (thank you, tech gods!). If you’re feeling adventurous, order something from outside. Otherwise, brace yourself for a slightly above average hotel-meal experience.
What about the amenities? Pool? Gym? Can I actually unwind here?
Okay, *this* is where the Sheraton does pretty well. They usually have a gym. Now, I'm not a gym bunny, but whenever I wander in there with the intention to use it, I find they are clean and well equipped. Yes, it's not the best gym on Earth but it's perfectly adequate for that pre-flight pump.
*The pool!* Now the pool is good. I love a pool (I'm a bit of a water baby). The Calgary Airport Sheraton certainly has one. Okay, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a luxurious spa pool – it's usually pretty busy and a little noisy from the children splashing – but it's so relaxing to drop in for an hour, and then just lounge around with a good book. I can't even with how much more relaxed I am after spending time in the water. Bring your swimsuit! I always forget mine.
They often have a business centre of some description, but frankly, if I'm at an airport hotel, the last thing I want to do is work unless absolutely unavoidable. And it's not much of a spa, which… is probably a good thing. I’d hate to find them charging spa prices!
The last time I tried an airport hotel shuttle, it was a total disaster. Is the Sheraton's shuttle reliable? Don't want to miss my flight!
Ah, the shuttle. This is potentially a make or break. Listen, missing a flight is my *nightmare*. I have some serious flight anxiety, so the shuttle reliability makes or breaks me. Luckily, the Sheraton's shuttle is generally pretty good, but caveat emptor: they run on a schedule. So check it *carefully*. Don’t assume it’ll be there every 10 minutes. They’re usually pretty punctual, but traffic… traffic is the wildcard. Give yourself *loads* of extra time – like, more than you think you need.
My most recent experience… Let's just say, I am thankful! I had a pre-dawn departure, you know, when your brain is still in sleep mode. I set my alarm for 4 AM, stumbled out of bed, and blearily made my way to the shuttle pick-up. The bus arrived almost exactly on schedule, which was a small miracle. The driver was friendly, even at that ungodly hour. We zoomed over to the airport. The end. I was so grateful. It saved me from the stress of taxis, and from the stress of a longer walk.
But be warned. On another occasion, I saw someone *miss* their flight. Not ideal. So plan carefully, and double-check everything. Better safe than sorry (and stranded!).
Overall, is the Calgary Airport Sheraton a good choice? Give me the honest truth!
Okay, the *honest* truth? Yeah, I'd recommend it. It's a solid choice for an airport hotel. The pros outweigh the cons, especially if you snag a good deal and can deal with the occasional minor imperfection.
It's clean, generally comfortable, there's a pool and gym, the shuttle is usually reliable (but double-check!), and the food is… food (with a chance of awesome). Look, nobody is going to claim it’s the most amazing hotel in the world. But for that pre-flight or post-flight chill zone, it’s a winner. Just go in withWallet Friendly Stay
