Delta by Marriott Hotels Calgary South

My stay was sponsored by Booking.com. Opinions are my own.

I was recently in Calgary, Alberta, for a wedding, and about a week before I went, I was madly searching online for a place to stay near the venue. Booking.com had a list of many choices in the area, and I chose Delta from Marriott Hotels Calgary South.

I was happy with my choice, as it was easy to find and only a 10-minute drive to the wedding venue. I stayed in the Atrium, a separate building from the main hotel. The main area had a bit of a “spa-like” feel because of the skylights, pool, and hot tub.

My suite was huge…larger than some of the studio apartments I’ve recently been looking at—though it didn’t have a bathtub. I forgot to check on that when booking and rarely remember that some suites have only a shower. As I don’t have a soaker tub at home, that’s usually one of the first things I look for in a hotel stay, other than Wi-Fi and plug-ins near the bed for my laptop and phone. This suite had both of those plus a King bed.

One drawback was that the restaurant in the Atrium wasn’t available for meals, which may have been the case because of a conference that was taking place that weekend. It was pouring rain most of the time, and I didn’t want to walk across the road to the central hotel in the rain. Fortunately, I had access to the Club Lounge, and there was a scaled-down buffet breakfast and a few snacks later on in the day. Room service was also available for a minimal delivery fee. Sorry for making some servers wet in the rain during my stay!

There’s so much to do in Calgary, and I found this hotel to be in a nice central location. Downtown Calgary and the Calgary Zoo are only a 15-minute drive away, and there are numerous shopping centres and restaurants nearby, including Chinook Centre—one I have spent a lot of time at.
