The room was clean and breakfast was great. My only complaint is that the toilet wouldn’t flush properly.

Only thing I’d change would be to have breakfast available earlier - 6:00am start preferred, so that guests can utilize breakfast option and still have time to get to early professional meetings. Thanks!

I liked the 1-bedroom suite and found the room comfortable. However, I was disappointed with the " full wet bar". This was the description on the web site and I found it misleading. To me, a "wet bar" is a fridge stocked with drinks. To even say, a "full" wet bar suggests this. It turns out the room had a sink, fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Please keep the description to say just that. Also, desk lamp did not work - light bulb may have been burnt out.

It’s just a basic hotel. Don’t really like the bedding or the sinks or floor. Hey parking is annoying. But the breakfast is outstanding and staff kind.

We stayed at Hotel Alma for a campus tour and it was fun to be right on campus. We ate in the dining hall and got a good feel for student life. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms are tiny though.

The rooms are good for the price. I did not like the cafeteria style breakfas. I much prefer the breakfast that is offered during the summer.

It’s a modern hotel, with a retro feel. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. Quality linens and pillows. Little kitchen had microwave and fridge. Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch. Breakfasts were included and offered a solid start. My allergies and my daughter's vegan needs were met, I needed to confirm that with the desk upon check-in. There was a secure parking in the nearby parkade We enjoyed our stay very much.
