Cheap accomodation in Calgary

[Mitsu3000gt]

I have some friends coming down from out East this summer, and they are looking for some decent accommodation as cheap as possible. I've never been to any hotels in Calgary because I live here haha, so does anyone know of a decent place that isn't very expensive? Somewhere in the South would be preferred. I'm going to be doing my own research but if someone knows of a good place that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I think the Cecil is still open

In the far south there isn't a whole lot... Super 8 in Shawnessy, Wingate, Delta on Southland and the Deerfoot Casino.

Out of all of those, the Super 8 is the least expensive.

id reccomend delta south.. not terribly expensive, and very homey

Thanks so far guys, the Delta south would be close to ideal but stampede week is ~$300/night there which is a little steep.

The "Coast Plaza" downtown seemed reasonable at $163/night

Best Western Downtown is $194/night

Comfort INN on McLeod trail is $155/night

Econo Lodge South $155/night (but looks the worst)

Anyways I'm still looking but I think the above is about the best I'm going to find.

Thanks.

Travelodge on Macloud Tr is $100/night or so what my friend said when he stayed there

Are they the classy type or don't mind roughing it a little?

There's Stetson by the Southland Canadian Tire, Superstore.

Or maybe start looking around for some bed and breadfast?

[Mitsu3000gt]

Travelodge is looking like the best so far. I'll check out the Stetson for them as well, thanks!

Its 3 girls so they will probably want a place that isn't too sketchy.

Thanks.

Oh there's also another building that looks like a hotel skeleton that's being built beside Deerfoot Casino, on 114 Ave.

How far south? If a bit further north isn't a problem, there's also Glenmore Inn, Blackfoot, Carriage House, Holiday Inn (by Avenida).
