My stay at Aloft Hotel Calgary University had its ups and downs. On one hand, the staff was friendly and made me feel welcome, which was a plus. However, I was pretty disappointed with the service level and the cleanliness of my room. Overall, I'd say it was a mixed experience.

Rooms

The room I got was available for the second night, but it had some issues. It was somewhat dark and I had a funky roller blind that didn't quite work as I hoped. I found dirty sheets and the overall cleanliness was lacking, which left me quite frustrated.

Service

5.0

While the staff was generally friendly, the service felt hit or miss. I had some trouble with my reservation, and the reception staff didn't seem very competent when I had questions about my booking. It was honestly frustrating to deal with.

Location

5.0

The location is decent and super convenient since it's right across from the train station. This made it easy to get downtown, but the area does feel a bit sketchy and isn't the most inviting vibe.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was alright, with a mix of options, but it could have been better, especially for those with dietary requirements. Some items were a bit bland and lacked variety for gluten-free options, which was disappointing.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were okay, but it was disappointing to find out the pool was closed without prior notice. I expected a bit more for the price we paid, and I felt like some amenities should have been available for free during our stay.

My stay at Aloft Hotel Calgary University was a pleasant experience, despite a couple of minor issues. The modern design and excellent customer service stood out, though the room had some design flaws that made my five-night stay a bit challenging. The convenient location really added to my overall satisfaction.

Rooms

The room was a good size with comfy beds and amenities. but I faced some design faults. The roller blind was necessary for privacy but made the room feel dark, and the single light switch for the bathroom was inconvenient during late-night visits.
