Super 8 Shawnessy, Still Available, Calgary, Alberta

 Super 8 Shawnessy, Still Available, Calgary, Alberta

This suburban Calgary hotel is located at the south end of the city off of Macleod Trail in Shawnessy. Is there anything to do down at this end of the city besides shop? No. But it makes a good location for anyone coming north from the USA to base themselves before heading further into the city. This hotel is roughly a 25 minutes drive to downtown at the very southern edge of the city. The US Border is two hours south of here.

One good feature about this property is that it is located right on the LRT line near Shawnessy station - it's around a 30 minute ride into downtown using it, for $2.50.

Only handicap rooms can be BRG-ed, so if you claim this, be sure to call the hotel and request them to change you to a normal room, to free the handicap rooms up for those who need them!

Hotel Address: 60 Shawville Road, Calgary, AB T2Y 3S6 CA
