| - I promised my friends I would Yelp about it. Here we go... I'm Yelping about it.
I've never actually stayed in the hotel rooms at the Four Points Sheraton by the Calgary Airport, but I've been here for a wedding and a business function. The lobby and conference rooms are quite modern clean. I'd imagine the rooms would be similar. First, I should note that the wedding I was at last year was far from dry. I had a lot of drinks before the dinner even started, so my overall experience was a very pleasant one. I remember the staff being very friendly and even giving me drink tickets when I probably wasn't supposed to have them.
The second time around was during the first weekend of September. The staff were friendly and attentive, but there were so many problems with the catering. They tried their best to accommodate the vegetarians in the room, but they somehow managed to serve a vegetarian a salad with fish. They shouldn't have assumed that she eats fish. Moreover, they didn't have a good system in place to find the vegetarian guests so the servers were running around creating a bit of confusion and chaos.
Lunch was delayed for about 15 minutes for half of our conference goers because they ran out of burger patties, salad, yam fries and spicy mayo. That was awkward for the rest of us who were eating.
Overall, the venue was a solid three stars. Despite the large parking lot, there wasn't enough parking up front so people had to find other places around the hotel to park. There's nothing that really makes this venue stand out for me. As a hotel, it's very clean and the service is good. I would recommend this as a good place to stay for people looking to stay near the airport, but there's not much around it.
