Top University of Alberta Hotel Reviews
The Westin Edmonton
"This is a great place to stay. The front desk staff was amazing. Parking was so convenient and had a beautiful room on the 18th floor. Close to Rogers Place. Less than a 10 minute walk. Will stay here again!"
Canterra Suites Hotel
"Good location. Very clean room, suite had own washer and dryer."
Holiday Inn Express Edmonton Downtown by IHG
"It was a short stay but it was ok overall, the hotel was doing Renovations so it looked messy, my room was the old one and was pretty bad lighting but I guess is next to be renovated."
Days Inn by Wyndham Edmonton Downtown
"We required a hotel close to Royal Alexandria hospital. I liked that a key card was needed for the elevator and parking. The key card was needed after 10:00 pm for the lobby. It was nice to have a bathtub! I missed not having a fridge or microwave in the room. The staff did offer to put either or both in the room upon arrival. If that had been communicated to me prior to my stay; I would have packed food/snacks differently. The offer upon arrival, was too late."
Varscona Hotel on Whyte
"Will gladly stay there again"
Campus Tower Suite Hotel
"I'm glad there is parking there, since parking is limited in the area. The hotel is close to the LRT station, so getting around is easy. One elevator was out of order and the hotel was busy."
