We stayed at the Residence and Convention centre for one night on a road trip from Vancouver to Calgary. The building is located about 5 minutes from downtown and it took us a while to find it, since it is located on campus. Our room was located on one of the top floors and we had a great vista over...

A lot of the other hotels in the area were either booked or fairly expensive.The price of this hotel was great for having 2 separate bedrooms, both with great views of the city. The kitchen isn't much, but there was a fridge and microwave. I highly... More

You are basically staying in university dorm rooms. Value wise you get a small kitchen and two rooms at a reasonable price.
