Accessibility to all such us school, malls and food outlets

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

We couldn't afford to eat at any of the restaurants near the hotel so walked to McDonald's, it was the dirtiest place I've ever eaten and I felt very unsafe in there. My impression was that you need a lot of money to enjoy Calgary.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It was interesting in Calgary but getting into the city was very busy, especially since it was midweek midday. We didn't expect it to be that congested.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Only stayed for one night as I was connecting onto a bus to Banff so didn’t see any of Calgary
