Top hotels in University District
Aloft Calgary University
Staff were lovely. Rooms are clean. The pool was great, it would be nice to have a slide or hot tub, but overall it’s comfortable. Breakfast was poor at best. Re-heated leftovers (turkey) were dry, scrambled eggs from a bag weren’t cooked well, pancake machine wasn’t running so disappointing.
