My second ever visit to Saskatoon, and my second stay at this hotel. Out of convenience in terms of name and location was probably the main driver of this decision to return. As one expects, it's a classic building and stands out prominently on the street. The room followed the same pattern, touches of history and old fashioned elements. I had a comfortable stay, enjoyed my breakfast brought to my room (albeit pricey). I did experience a lack of really hot water in the shower in the evening, and chalked that up to this building being an old one.

After hearing thoughts of other regular visitors to the city that I know, there seems to be more options downtown that are newer, so I'll likely check those out the next time I am in town, mainly out of curiosity and desiring something a bit more modern.

Loved the room, the staff is very nice and friendly. Location was perfect for our supper plans. The only concern, which became a major issue are the vagrants that stand right outside the hotels front entrance and around the building. Within a matter of the first few minutes of arriving my husband was confronted, then after a walk around the building with family after supper we were asked three separate times within 20 minutes for smokes, money and food. I will not be staying here again just for that reason alone. Terrible. Did not feel safe leaving the hotel or leaving our vehicle in the parking lot. Something really needs to be done about that.
