It's the 100th anniversary of Stampede, so there is a ton of people coming in from outside of Calgary for Stampede this year.
A suggestion for you...check the prices on places in Motel Village. This is a group of motels/hotels across from McMahon Stadium, and is right by a C-Train station where the trains go right downtown and to Stampede Park. Rates there should be much cheaper than downtown, and you are still more than able to get to Stampede Park and downtown Calgary with no worries, as during Stampede the train runs 24/7.
