The hotel was good -staff were nice and it’s in a great area by the University. The price for parking at the hotel at $20 per 24 hours is far too high though. I believe most hotels offer complimentary parking or at least a solid discount. Overall a great stay.

This hotel is in an obviously new area of the city focused on commercial/residential mix neighbourhoods. There are a ton of restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, parks, and trails in the vicinity. The AB Children’s Hospital is basically a parking lot away. They have paid underground parking at the hotel and also in a few other spots for the community as well as paid above ground parking kitty corner to the hotel for larger vehicles. The staff were great and really helpful. I’ll absolutely stay there again.

The hotel is fine, especially if you have business at the university. It is the first time in a very long time that I experienced a hotel room without a refrigerator- this is a bad thing for diabetics and I strongly urge anyone thinking of staying here that they specifically inquire about this if they stay. The hotel website says you can ask for a fridge but when I did I was denied. I was told I could bring anything I wanted to the front desk for refrigeration, but that policy was inconsistently held by the staff - some gave me some grief over it, others were fine. Still, not ideal. The other reason this is such a bad policy is that there is a fantastic grocery store next door and you can’t buy any milk or cream or anything to be kept cold - which would be great otherwise! My last issue is that as a short-ish person the coffee maker is placed on a shelf higher than my head. I had to stand on a chair to figure out how it worked. Who designed this? It’s unsafe and impractical. Staff were friendly, but inconsistent in policies. Hotel was clean. Minimal amenities. Pretty quiet. Fantastic view!
