great comfortable stay
I stayed here last october and really had a good time. Its not a 5 star hotel, but it is very comfortable and neat. Its also great value for money. The staff at the reception were also really nice and helpful as well. overall it was a good stay. Very important, make sure you go with a credit card as they do not accept debit cards and would not take cash.
Good place to stay
Good and affordable place to stay, have to book it ahead of time though as not always can get a room upon arrival, it is always busy. Reminded me of university years. The hotel is located on campus grounds and has Starbucks, Subway and Dominos pizza within 5 minutes walking distance. It also has Cirkle K local little convenience store on the first floor and kitchen to cook your own meal. The rooms are nice, tidy and comfortable and the staff is accommodating. University also supports green policy on separation of waste before disposal and offers reusable bags when shopping on campus. The comfortability of rooms varies drastically with pricing, for a little upgrade you can receive a five star newly renovated hotel room or for basic price a standard university dormitory room.
Great for young people
The hotel is a university residence, so it has an apartment style concept, there were 3 separate rooms with their own lock and key which was really great, we all shared one bathroom but its very spacious, each room has a shelf, a desk and a wardrobe as well as a full body mirror behind the door. The apartment included a kitchenette and table which was really handy, however no utensils like forks or anything are provided. It was no problem for us. Parking is $10 per night which I wish would be already included in the price. Overall was a great stay, it was for 6 people and we never got any noise complaints (we were a bit loud) the walls are very soundproof which was great. Would definitely stay here again! Really convenient location as well.

Only if you have a one day meeting at the University
The "hotel" is a campus building with no convenient parking. The lobby, seating area, breakfast area, registration place is a wide-open space that does not seem adequate for any of the separate functions. The staff needs some empathy training for frayed travelers. They knew about the hotel and assumed you would/should also know everything about the hotel without having to ask. Questions were an imposition. The Alma is convenient to camps functions.
