Alt Hotel Calgary University District
We have set the AC at 21.5C and the AC keep turning on and off because it is automation. I do find the room sometimes too warm before it reset the temperature, and the noise of the AC is a bit loud

Nice room, breakfast was great. Renovations ongoing but did not disrupt our stay too much. Underground parking was nice.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Calgary NW - University Area by IHG
The room was clean with good space and the staff was friendly. You need a key card to get to any of the guest floors or underground parking, these security features were appreciated being across the street from a C-Train station.
