The Spotlight on Best Western Airport Inn

Comfortable, budget-friendly stay close to Calgary's concert scene

Modern and convenient, Best Western Airport Inn offers a relaxing base just a short drive from downtown Calgary and popular concert venues. Located near the airport and only 15 minutes from the city center, this hotel is ideal for fans looking for stress-free access to shows without paying downtown prices. With an indoor pool, hot tub, and free WiFi, it's a comfortable stay that doesn't break the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert lovers appreciate the quick drive to Calgary's top music venues like the Scotiabank Saddledome and the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. The hotel is tucked in a quieter area, so you can expect a more peaceful post-show recovery. Late check-in after a late-night gig is no problem with a 4:00 PM check-in time, and the easy access to major roadways and airport shuttles make getting around a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to save on accommodations
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream concert
  • Couples planning a weekend music escape
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want convenience without the downtown price tag

Food and Drink Options

Start your day after a late night with the daily hot breakfast buffet, included with your stay. While there’s no on-site restaurant for late-night bites, you'll find several nearby eateries within a short drive. And if you prefer staying in, rooms come equipped with conveniences like coffee makers (in select rooms) and microwaves.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, it’s just a quick ride to Calgary’s downtown nightlife, where you’ll find clubs, lounges, and craft beer bars. Whether you're looking to keep the party going or wind down in a chill spot, options are close by.

What People Say

Guests often mention the clean, well-maintained rooms, friendly staff, and the relaxing pool and hot tub after a long day. The value for money is a recurring highlight, especially for travelers who want a reliable brand near the airport and concert action.

Areas for Improvement

The location is a bit outside the downtown area, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most concert venues. Some guests mention that room décor is a bit dated, but it's clean and comfortable overall.

The Bottom Line

Best Western Airport Inn is a solid choice for concert-goers who want a peaceful, affordable base near Calgary’s music and nightlife scene.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Linda M, Burlington, ON

Overall - it was a good experience. 10-15 minutes from the Calgary airport.

Liked: Room was clean. Front desk team was friendly and helpful (though I wonder if first impressions could be stepped up by a little more formal attire ). The shuttle driver who picked me up was exceptionally friendly, warm and yet professional (he is originally from Thailand - he should get a raise). Breakfast was very good.
Disliked: Laundry basket heaped high in the hallways - difficult to get by with my own luggage. Coffee packs were not replaced daily. Laundry rooms were wide open to anyone walking by - seemed unprofessional.

Pleasant

Liked: Cleanliness was okay.
Disliked: There were only two plug-ins that were accessible and we had 4 items that needed to be plugged in. Also the plug-ins that were accessible were so loose that we had to put items under the plugs to keep the cords connected to the electricity!!

hotel room was fine -...

Liked: Room was good.Location was convenient.
Disliked: The hotel front desk staff insisted the room was not paid for and made me pay for the room again. I was very tired and just wanted to go to sleep so I paid for the room again. Finally another manager came around and saw that the room had been prepaid and said they would refund the room charges back to my card - but it would take 7-10 days before the refund would show up. Using low limit card for travel - having to wait up to 10 days for a refund is not acceptable and having the hotel argue with me about the room being prepaid makes both them and hotels.com a very poor choice to use for booking.

Good

Liked: The location was easy to find and convenient for getting to other parts of town. The staff were very friendly and worked hard.
Disliked: The beds were not comfortable at all, however one staff member did inform us that they are about to do renovations which include new mattresses. So that will be good for next time!
