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.

The only bad thing was the light in the bathroom shines into the room from the glass shower wall. This is awful if someone has to go to the bathroom at night. Wakes the other person up!
