I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL - I stayed here before a couple years ago and it went way down hill. Lots of folks that have longer term stays that clearly struggle with addiction. There were several drug deals and consumption outside of my room. My room was stuck in the middle between 2 folks that are struggling with addiction. I informed the front desk after my first night after being kept up all night and they didn’t do anything about it. I informed front desk after the second night (a different guy and security personnel) and he seemed to take my complaint more seriously. It is definitely not a safe place to stay.

Outside of that, my room wasn’t cleaned my and towels were not refreshed. I had to ask for fresh towels several times in order to actually get some. I will not be staying here again.

I just wanted to let you know how totally disappointed I am about your hotel. We were booked in, got into the room around 3pm on July 2, there were a few people loitering around the outside door to our room. Didn't feel safe, as they looked to be non patrons(homeless) of your hotel. We went out again, around 4:30 pm, and there were more people sitting under our window on the sidewalk. We returned around 7:30pm to find, once again, approximately 6-9 people sitting on the sidewalk. We were very concerned about the safety of our persons, and our vehicle. So I went to the front desk and asked what the situation was with all the loitering. I expressed how unsafe we felt, the staff member said there was security overnight, starting at 7:30 pm , it was approximately 8pm at this time and the security was not there. So, I asked if I could be refunded my room rate, and we would leave. He said it couldn't be refunded, because I booked through Expedia. I contatct Expedia and they said they couldn't refund me either. I ate the loss of the room rate, and we left. Your situation at that hotel, will cause me to never stay again, and to make sure I let those that I know to never stay there. My son had a reservation for the following week, which he has already cancelled. Totally disgusted with your hotel.

Hotels should get rid of the part that says breakfast included, there isn’t one. Pros - the beds were comfortable, the appliances were new, it was nice and quiet and the a/c worked. Cons - it shares a parking lot with some sketchy looking businesses, there are unpleasant odors in the hallways, and too much air deodorizer was used in our room. Overall, an economical, okay stay for one night.

The property was nothing like what was advertised. There was graffiti, dumpsters and garbage all around the building and it appeared that they rented units out long term to low income (flags in windows instead of curtains, etc.). The attached liquor store, bar, restaurant and pub (all also covered in graffiti) were the most prominent part of the hotel as you approached. One was left wondering if they rented some rooms by the hour .

Outside, the Hotel property is filthy, cigarette butts and alcohol containers and garbage everywhere. The room was clean however there were holes in the walls. I was asked for a $200 damage deposit, and then insisted they inspect my room before I checked out. On my last night there was so much noise, people yelling at each other, I did not sleep at all.

This is not a safe or comfortable place to stay, and the owners should be forced to disclose that it is primarily used by drug-affected people who hang around the halls. When I arrived there were three police cars and six officers dealing with a situation in the lobby, blood on the lobby door, gum stuck on several door frames, drug-affected people leaning over in the hall and unidentifiable stains all over the carpet and furniture. The room was around 40C and the only air conditioner requires you to have your window open - NOT SAFE in this area. One of the hotel windows was just a foam mattress. There was also a fight in the parking lot and lots of yelling.

The staff DO NOT CARE about your safety.

I had serious reservations about my stay at this hotel. The clientele made me uneasy - there were many suspicious-looking individuals loitering in the hallways at all hours, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.

The worst part came at checkout when staff actually prevented me from leaving until they had physically inspected my room. In decades of traveling, I've never encountered such distrustful treatment of a guest. This invasive policy, combined with the questionable environment, made for a very unpleasant experience.

While the room itself was clean and the location convenient, these factors can't compensate for the overall discomfort.

In two words, filthy and frightening. The hallways stank heavily of tobacco smoke, and the room as well. The bed linens were stained and smelled like a dirty ashtray. The tub was stained, and with a cigarette burn on the side. The walls were spattered with filth and unwashed. The area seems to shelter some of Saskatoon's homeless population, and the hotel residents mostly seem to be sheltered there, with frequent interactions with the unhoused population. We might have opened a window to air out the room, but as my wife noted, there was a bag of garbage (and a used car tire) just in front of that window - not likely to improve the odours in the room. On the upside - the staff were polite. But the room was stinky, dirty, and the setting scary.

Rough place to stay

Arrived at hotel, people passed out outside who looked to be under the influence of something. Very dirty outside. Quickly processed at the desk. Hotel smelled of cigarettes. Ground level floor had interior and exterior door. adjacent room was constantly banging on their door for people to get in. People were up all night screaming across the hallway and in room till 2 am. First night I stepped out for dinner and came back to a parking lot full of cops cruisers. Spent the day away from the hotel on day2 but when I got back in there was a lady fumblings a bag of chips infront of the door with security yelling at her to leave. Had to get my card reactivated and had to wait as they were calling the cops. Next mornging I needed to wait for the front desk guy to inspect my room in order to get my deposit back ($200). Seems like they are used to a less responsible clientelle.

The hotel itself would have been fine except for the group of homeless people loittering in the lobby. It was the first night of a cold snap and they were trying to get warm, but they were holding the outside door open and smoking in the lobby. They were obviously under the influence as well. The smell funneled upstairs to my room and was rather gross. The staff were good about sending them on their way, but a couple got past and were walking the hallways on the second floor. The police eventually showed up and the next night there were less of them. There were people in the back parking lot talking and walking around at all hours of the night as well.
