Quiet and Relaxing

“I loved the serene environment of my room. Despite the busy area outside, I found it to be quiet and perfect for a restful night's sleep. However, I did notice some morning light seeped through the curtains, so a sleep mask might be helpful for others sensitive to light.” view full review

Good Entertainment Options

I truly enjoyed my recent 4-night stay at ALT Hotel in Calgary's university district. The prime location made it easy to explore, with a mall and an array of restaurants just a stone's throw away. However, my experience was somewhat overshadowed by two late-night fire alarms due to a burst pipe, and the lack of communication during these incidents left me disappointed. Overall, the hotel is comfortable and well-situated, making it a great choice despite a couple of hiccups. 🌟
