We were in town for Mom’s Weekend at UofA & very pleased with our accommodations! From the courtesy call on the day of check in to the retro-modern decor and MCM charm, the Inn was a pleasant experience.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was clean. Good value. Only issue we had was the noise. I could hear lives unfolding outside the door, and the street racers screeching down the Blvd. AND I would stay here again.

I specifically searched for pet friendly - made the reservation - upon checking in the manager informed me it was a NO PET policy unless I paid a $401 charge (non-refundable) and cancelled my reservation - I had to find another place -
