Aloft Calgary University

it was quiet and the pool was great

The continental breakfast is not really good. Not a lot of fruits to choose from, coffee is disgusting and no whole wheat bread. We looked under the beds and there was old bottles of beer and dirty socks still there!! When did they clean that up for the last time??? Not impressed at all. The beds are too soft and the pillows are too big for comfort.

Access to CTrain.

Easy access to C train in Calgary. The reception staff were very friendly and very helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble.

Proximity to local train link into Calgary

Paid 30% more for what I class as a budget hotel than I did for a deluxe room in Vancouver. The Quality in room had a window that opened onto a corridor therefore no natural light - like sleeping in a box! The inclusive continental breakfast was a joke. Styrofoam cups for all drinks and paper plates made it look like a charity soup kitchen and there were not enough tables for all the seemingly 'subdued' guests who were probably as unhappy about the facilities as we were. Needless to say we ate breakfast elsewhere. We have stayed in hotels all over the world including other budget hotels that were better value for money so was very disappointed as this was the last leg of our visit to Canada. Not a good experience! I have never felt the need to write a review as bad as this as it is not my style. However on this occasion I am because of the fact that it was a poor end to a great holiday in Canada where facilities in hotels prior to this were excellent.
