We had an excellent stay at Delta Downtown Calgary. The room was excellent and the included breakfast was sufficient. The location is very good. The only issue we had is finding information on things to do. We asked the hotel staff twice and the best response was shopping downtown. To make this worse they failed to tell us about the +15 walkways that connect the hotel to other buildings and shopping centres in the CBD. After we figured this out ourselves, our stay was quite enjoyable.
