The front desk was rude and not understanding to me asking for a later check out especially when I asked last night. My son is graduating today and she was rude.

Hotel is frustrating. For the price, Breakfast should be offered longer. Wasnt aware of time Breakfast was finished. Way too long of a spiel for the employees during check-in. Hot tub jets are softer than bath tub spouts. The fact the employees have to explain the layout should tell you something. Same room numbers on the same floor is a terrible decision. I get it two different places but there has to be a better system. Nice place dont get me wrong. Get more bang for your buck elsewhere. My apologies for venting after I didn't get Breakfast, I'm hangry

I used to live in Saskatoon and occasionally return to visit family. For those not familiar with Saskatoon, this is on the edge of the University by Griffiths Stadium. If you are going to visit the University, attend a game, research meeting, etc: this is a very convenient location. Close to the PhysEd (Kinesiology) building if you want to work out, close to the river bank if you want an enjoyable run, close to both RUH or City Hospital if visiting. The breakfast is a bit bland but the coffee is good. Excellent blackout window coverings. The rooms are comfortable. I enjoy the barndoor inside the room that mutes noise from the hallway. The one downside is there aren't many restaurants close by. The Staybridge side is sometimes the same price, sometimes more expensive: not sure the price difference is worth it, but may be preferable if within a few dollars of each other.

Close to the university so I can visit my kids. The hotel needs to monitor the parkade more closely, I saw a lot of vehicles bypass the security arms and park in the parkade, then the occupants walked over to events happening at the school. If I’m paying $200 per night and can’t get a parking spot because of these vehicles I’m not going to be very happy.
