Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but it gets too cold, especially with the shared bathroom and kitchenette setup. However, the service left something to be desired, with issues like leaving our door open. The location by Calgary University was convenient for my needs, but the dining options were limited and of mediocre quality.
The hotel's rooms were small but had everything necessary, including an armoire, desk, queen bed, good-sized bathroom with a tub/shower, air-conditioning, mini-kitchen with microwave and fridge, and a TV. The price was very reasonable, but the noise coming from the air ventilators in one of the rooms was a bit of a downside.
The hotel is tucked away on the University of Calgary's campus in a quiet spot, providing a great location close to public transport and the university. The rooms offer a handy kitchenette, but the lack of utensils may be inconvenient. The service is friendly and helpful, going the extra mile with parking assistance. Dining options are centered around the student dining center with organic products on offer.
The hotel offers fashionable and very clean rooms that, despite being a bit small, are functional and comfortable. The service was helpful and friendly, even accommodating an early check-in request. Its prime location near the LRT and university campus makes it a quiet and pleasant stay. The dining experience provided good options with room for improvement. Overall, a value-for-money choice with great facilities.
As an undergraduate student, the hotel room was well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and good cable TV. However, the additional parking fee of $10 per vehicle per night made the room seem overpriced. The service staff at Aurora Hall were rude regarding parking inquiries but overall are friendly and helpful. The location is excellent for university visits and accessing the Foothills Hospital, being close to an LRT station for easy downtown trips. The dining experience offered good quality hot and cold items, though it felt like a hostel at times. The facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, close to the train station and university campus, making it convenient. The room, although small, had some useful amenities but lacked direct communication with the front desk. The service was a letdown, with staff being polite but lacking empathy and at times, even rude. The dining experience was inconsistent, with disappointing options at the student dining center. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were satisfactory overall.
Staying at this hotel was like experiencing a cozy and convenient alternative to a traditional hotel stay. The rooms were great and comfortable, offering a private space with all the essentials one would need. The service was mixed, with some room for improvement in understanding guests' needs. The location was incredibly convenient, being situated inside the university campus and close to downtown Calgary. Dining options were limited but satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
The hotel offered me the 'solution' of charging an expensive rate to change my room, which was one of the corners between other rooms, locked off from another area where there was a shared bathroom and a shared kitchenette shared with the other lock-off bedroom in the same unit. However, it was convenient to open the shower door without hitting the bathroom door.
The hotel rooms were really clean and comfy, equipped with a good desk, large bed, quality linen, large TV, microwave, fridge, coffee machine, bathtub, and shower. However, the option to change rooms came with an expensive rate, and the space felt a bit cramped, causing me to bump into things often when moving around.
The hotel offers a standard university dormitory room equipped with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and good cable TV at a basic price. Despite getting caught in the rain due to a mix-up with the building location, the amenities in the room were convenient. The hotel staff presented mixed interactions, ranging from rudeness to friendliness. The location was convenient for accessing necessary areas but had some cleanliness issues. Dining options were limited, but the hotel provided fresh unlimited pancakes as a highlight.
The university residence offers a standard dormitory room with a designer touch at a basic price. The location is very convenient within the University of Calgary, especially for quick access to university buildings. The dining options are limited but average, and the service, while professional, had some oversights. The rooms are spacious, functional, and well-lit, resembling a real hotel room but without an attached bathroom.
The hotel had quiet rooms, though they were very small and quite spartan. The cleanliness was good but not matching the advertising. Service was very helpful and friendly, quick with check-in but lacking information on daily specials. The location was convenient but overpriced, close to the train and university campus. Dining was mediocre initially but improved slightly. Overall, good value for money but lacking in some areas.
The hotel's location is great for visiting the university or Foothills Hospital, with a short walk to the LRT. The rooms were a bit small but clean. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining options consisted of 3 continental box breakfast choices. Excellent value for a convenient stay.
The hotel offers terrific rooms with everything needed, but can be on the smaller side. The service is pleasant and helpful, with access to the University fitness center. The location is quiet and convenient, ideal for events on campus, but with occasional drawbacks. The dining experience is satisfactory but could use some improvement in variety. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped and functional.
The hotel offers small but ideal rooms for attendees of meetings or conferences who just need a place to sleep and catch up on work. The additional parking fee is a downside to an otherwise slightly overpriced room.
