This room did not have a fridge for some reason. We got a parking ticket I. The underground parking of the hotel even though we were registered guests. They were apologetic and took care of it for us.

The room was large and well lit, which was good because there was a very dark floor and ceiling. Very clean and modern. Front desk staff were great. Fast, smooth elevators. Everything was good except the bathroom, which had only one tiny hook to hang a towel beside the sink with no other hooks or towel bars in the bathroom, a sliding door that had large gaps when closed, no evidence of a working exhaust fan, and low water pressure.

Loved my stay at Alt. Front desk lady was lovely to deal with each time I had a request or question. The room was quiet, super comfy bed and nice and clean. The area had lots of great food options, very newly built area. The few minor negatives: the toilet paper is so rough and thin it’s like gas station tp. The towels are plenty, but also feels like sandpaper. For such a nice hotel, you’d think they’d have better quality paper and towels. And the bathroom only has one single hook to use. Having a few more would be handy.

Fantastic quick stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, not too far off Hwy 1 and in a walkable shopping and dining area near the University. The staff were kind and helpful. The rooms were new and clean, and extremely well thought out in their design (lots of hooks, lots of storage space in the bathroom, etc). Nespresso machine in the room. The atmosphere is cozy and modern. There is no mini fridge but they were able to store our leftovers downstairs with a claim ticket. Parking is underground in a well lit garage. Will absolutely stay here again.

Aesthetically it’s a great hotel. If you’re also looking for practicality on amenities hotels in Canada typically provide (fridge in room, sink aside from bathroom sink) likely not the hotel for you. Though we were notified you can have a room with a fridge if you stay for a longer duration.
