 25 |  Subject: Ironman Calgary 70.3 AccommodationHello Alberta triathletes, My accommodations for the Calgary half on August 1st have fallen through. I am very unfamiliar with the area and I need some advice. From the list below, can you recommend a hotel that is both habitable AND fairly close to the expo and/or shuttle destination of the Westin (this is the official hotel but it's too pricey), McMahon Stadium, and Glenmore Park? International Hotel of Calgary Glenmore Inn & Convention Centre Hotel Arts Regency Suites Hotel Sandman Hotel Five Calgary Downtown Suites Fairmont Palliser Also, are there any good camping spots that you would suggest? Thanks guys! -Kevin K P.S. Let me stay at your pad and I'll bring you a bottle of BC's finest vino  |

Elite 4108  Calgary,AB,Canada | Subject: RE: Ironman Calgary 70.3 Accommodation downtown you have the internationlal,westin, sheraton eau claire, ramada, delta bow valley. Lots of choices. If you want to be close to the westin and not stay there they are all super close to it. you can camp on the outskirts on calgary as well at a few places if that is an option. It'll take a bit to get to the westin or wherever. I think they have pickup at mcmahon stadium for the race...if so, hit motel village hotels.....its super close and cheaper than downtown probably. little lessy classy though. |

I'm trying to remember what is there (ride past there most days on the train!!). Definitely stay away from Savory Lodge. I think there is a Hampton that looks good at least from the outside. |
