This was our second time staying at the Alt Hotel in University Heights. We were traveling with our dog so their rooms are perfectly set up for having a pet in the room. It’s also in a good location where it’s easy access shopping and restaurants. We will be sure to stay there during our next stay in Calgary.

First of all the doors are so heavy I ended up pulling a muscle in my back. Secondly there is a prefab show with a ceramic base which looks very nice but after I ran the water and went to step in it was so slippery down I went. Banged my head and wrenched the right side of my body and my left knee. This aggravated ribs and a shoulder injury that were mending. They need to put some safeguards down on the shower floor and a handle of some kind. I mentioned to the front desk staff and they brought up a bath mat but the damage was done. They were kind enough to extend check out but I am going to need physio now.
