Alt Hotel Calgary University District
Second time staying here. Near to lots of restaurants and a grocery. Clean, comfortable, quiet, pleasant staff. Love the automatic blinds and the cable (but it needs a TV guide). My favourite feature is being able to control the room temperature. Get yourself a breakfast sandwich at Terre!

Hampton Inn & Suites By Hilton Calgary- University Northwest
The hotel is a little bit old but clean, it was not noisy, pretty good location but the construction was annoying, is hard to get a parking spot if you have a big car, the breakfast was so good but if you don’t get there really early there isn ’t too much food left.
