One elevator was broken which caused some issues. $20/night for parking is a little steep. Great hotel other than that

It was very good. We loved it. BUT we did not appreciate having to pay $20.00 for parking. That was insulting. We stayed at 3 other hotels before Calgary and were not required to pay to park our car.

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.
