So being a dork,, lol,, I registered myself in to the global heavy oil show, but didnt book a room... so now I sit here trying to book a room,, and guess what I cant find one anywheres.... anybody know of a hotel that might not be online that might have some rooms available for the 11th to the 14th?

 

if all u need is a place to sleep try airbnb.com, lots of people including us rent a guest room in a private home

 

not sure if there is many in calgary or not but see if there is any bed and breakfasts places , but there must of the time nice

 

You could try a couple of the places in Airdrie. Super 8 and Ramada come to mind. I think there is a Quality Inn as well.

 

I thought of that,, booked,, basically everything that is anywheres close to Calgary is booked solid.... frick

 

Have you tried any of the hotels in south end of Calgary or up at the airport. Lots of new hotels up there no one has hear of and are so new you might find a room.

Wow even Airdrie is booked up? There is also a best western/holiday inn here, plus a few high quality dives.

Should just crash at Tate's as he is never home any ways. He even has a fancy new garage which has lots of cool stuff inside.

Could try Strathmore, Olds

 

Did you try calling the conference organizer? Sometimes they can help out...

Oh, and there are sometimes seasonal residences at Unversities...maybe worth a call

Another place to try is Strathmore. It is only a slightly longer drive to downtown Calgary than Airdrie.

 

Dani, just checked that out,,, alll full, Mike, Tate, checked out all of those locations,, full,,,, LOL,, Looks like I am going to have to go the b&b route... My only other thought is if there was some smaller older hotels that are not online.... but being here in FTM I cant find them lol

 

Sean, do you happen to have names of any of the hotels there? They are not showing up online

Thanks

 

I know there is a Super 8 in Strathmore, stayed there for my sisters wedding. Look at Cochrane and Okotoks. High River is a longer drive yet, but not too far. Chestemere as well. Not sure what they have, but they are just on the outskirts of Calgary.

If I were home, I'd let you crash at my place.

Super 8
