University of Calgary Accommodations & Events

A Dorm Room. Let's call it what it was! I don't know if it was an issue of description (or lack there of) by Expedia, or the fault of the property, But it was advertised as a 1 bedroom apartment. And some can argue that technically that is what it was. But I'm sure that most people would feel a 1 bedroom apartment is pretty different than a dorm room with a shared "kitchen" and shared restroom in a school. I didn't see any mention of it being on a campus at all. It is Housing that is On the University of Calgary campus. We checked in at 1 building which actually did look like a nice hotel. During the check in process, we were told that there will be three doors but the other two were empty. I was like, what? But OK... I guess we'll find out, and then was directed to a whole different building that I had to drive to at a different area on the campus. Once opening the door, it was a communal area with a sink refrigerator, and a bathroom.... And Three Doors. This is when it dawned on us that this "One Bedroom Apartment" was actually just a Dorm room, and If there were other tenants in the other units, we would be sharing the bathroom with them. Kept feeling like someone else would walk in at any time. The dorm room was tiny. The "mattress" was a plastic foam cushion that was probably designed for bed wetters. The frame it was on, was more like chain link fence and we sank in it. Had to put mattress on the floor to sleep. Horrible night's sleep.

I booked online, room was clean & comfortable and staff was helpful. Campus was quiet and grounds lovely, I used the pool & my dtr used the gym, both were in good condition/easy to access. I chose this site cause it was close to my family & within my budget, I would recommend it and stay there again. thx

we stayed in the dorm of the university. the beds were too firm and there's not much amenities. they should put a note in the room description that thie room is part of the U of C dorms and not the hotel..

every thing was good except the bed sheets were dirty, we had to change room even though we unpacked every thing

The beds are typical dorm beds so they aren't the comfiest, also the cleaning staff didn't seem to replace the towels on my 4 day stay no matter how I left them...but for a basic level of service it was clean and easy when trying to meet with people on campus.

The parking was bad - the pictures were misleading as we stayed in another building and the room didn't have a TV as in pictures. The bedding was minimal. The walls are very thin.

It was a nice, clean and easy to find and get to. The staff were friendly and the room was clean and well kept. It was overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank You for Everything:)

Expedia should not advertise one bedroom flat's at Alma including a private bathroom. The bathroom is shared with another room. This is ok if you know in advance, but Expedia failed to mention this fact anywhere on their site.

Basic room, clean, close to University. Convenient parking.

Hated the 2 bedroom option. No common sitting area. Mattresses covered with heavy plastic that made a lot of noise when moving. Got upgraded to 1 bedroom that had a hideabed for 25.00 more. Said parking was free but was 10.00 a night and parade was a long way away from hotel
