It was a good place to sleep, have breakfast, and shower.
Pros:

I was already familiar with SAIT, knowing this was a student dorm. I liked the room I stayed in - the bed was comfortable, and everything was provided in the bathroom so I was able to pack light.

Cons:

I ordered food and forgot to ask for utensils. For some reason, the kitchenette is stocked with absolutely nothing, not even plastic/wood utensils.

Very convenient for getting downtown on the C line.
Pros:

Close to the C line. Campus is beautiful. Tim’s and Juice Bar nearby.

Cons:

Beds were too high. Kitchen should have cutlery and dishes. Room had litter on the floor when I arrived. Light switch was filthy.

Horrible
Cons:

The room was crap. Very hot with broken wondow screens. There was NO AIRCONDITIONING IN THE ROOM. In CALGARY IN 30 DEGREE TEMPURATURE. No plates, bowls, pots pans or utensils of any sort in the kitchen. The floors were bare concrete and paint was peeling all around the shower stall. The beds were nearly 3 feet off the floor. Whats with THAT??This was the worst "hotel" I have ever stayed at. This is not a hotel at all and Booking.com is negligent for listing it as such. It is a college dorm complex and should not be being rented to the general public as a hotel room. Someone from Booking.com needs to contact me about refunding me my money.

Different experience using student accommodation
Pros:

It was Calgary university with an historic background . Buildings are both modern & early 20th century .

Cons:

It is not a hotel in the proper sense
These are student rooms but have the necessary amenities for overnight stays

Exceptional
Pros:

Breakfast could have used a bit more

Cons:

Very high beds and uncomfortable. I don’t expect luxury beds in a residence. Western university has quite comfortable residence beds without springs
