A definite gem! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. Close enough to the Saddledome to walk to. Would definitely stay again. Unfortunately the roof was being put over the pool for the winter season so we weren’t able to use it but it looked lovely. Definitely recommend!

Steven, Saskatoon

Nice room but paper thin walls - can hear absolutely everything going on around you. When I checked in, I requested late checkout… the front desk lady asked her manager who said yes. This was obviously not recorded in the system because 3 different housekeepers tried to come into my room, and I kept saying I had late checkout. Then, I got a text from the hotel asking me why I was still in the room. Just disorganized. They ended up letting me stay, which was appreciated, but made me feel like I was an inconvenience to them, when they were the ones who said I could stay later when I checked in to begin with? Nice area though, and I would still recommend the property.

What a fun vibe and layout!! Really ennoyed the room. Staff service whioe at either one of their lounges/poolside/ bars were unfoetunately slow moving and almost felt like it was normal there to leave a cautomer allne for over an hour, strange. Either way lived the hotel. Just would have nice to be noticed by waiting staff

We booked this hotel for a renowned actor who came directly from TIFF. Unfortunately he couldnt sleep in the afternoon due to persistent drilling from the construction site. We booked luxury suite and there is nothing luxurious about the space and the noise was unbearable. We need a full refund
