I have stayed here multiple times. Rooms have great views and everything is modern and slick. Great coffee shop in the lobby for breakfast to go. Underground parking is easy (don’t rent an SUVIt won’t fit) Only downside is gym is very small. But staff are excellent and Terre restaurant is incredible.

We appreciate the simplicity of the room with it's modern features. The windows are deep and provide a great view of downtown. Clean linens and the bathroom was spotless. The front staff are friendly to deal with and certainly a reason why we continue to rebook.

The Alt Hotel is a gorgeous spot! Me and my boyfriend stayed here for Valentine’s Day and it was so lovely. Our room was clean, bright, efficient and cozy. It had everything we needed. The lighting/AC/heat/everything system in the room is such a cool feature! You can literally call for a housekeeper from your bed as well as adjust all the lights in the room with the touch of a button. Not to mention the staff at guest services (front desk) were so sweet, helpful, and accommodating. Definitely will be staying here again and will be recommending the Alt Hotel to all my friends and family looking to book a stay away from home! Thanks for the lovely Valentine’s day evening!
