I always love staying at the Alt! The staff is so friendly, the rooms so cozy and comfortable. All amenities and features I needed were accessible and made my stay wonderful! Easy to find, close to lots of dining options and shopping, walkable to the university where we were attending an event so this was perfect.

We always stay at the Alt when visiting Calgary and enjoy it. Unfortunately this time the room we were given was next to the elevators and had a tub with a shower curtain, rather than their spacious glass enclosed shower. Quite a disappointment I must say.

I have been to this hotel several times. However I won’t be returning as the shower ran cold. The front desk told me to run it for 10 minutes. Still no change in temperature. Got late for my meeting and had to have a cold shower. Very disappointed.

The staff at the hotel were extremely accommodating and kind during a very stressful visit for my mom and I. The hotel itself is in a great location, very clean and we would definitely visit again. It’s very close to the foothills hospital and the area the hotel is in has many restaurants and a grocery store .A big thank you to David at the front desk for being extra kind and helpful during our stay.

This hotel was great! It is close to restaurants and a theatre. It has a gym onsite, which is great! The hotel room was clean. The staff were very helpful. I would recommend that people stay there.
