Popular Saskatoon 4-star Hotels

The front desk went out of their way to be helpful. I was quite sure I reserved a room with 2 Queen beds on their website, but to my surprise the reservation said 1 bed. After some back and forth, they were able to get me a room with 2 Queen beds. The room was a good size with the 2 beds, a desk, a good size closet with safe and TV and refrigerator. The bathroom wasn’t large but was good enough with enough counter space for toiletries. The room was clean. The carpet was a little outdated. The outside, out back parking was convenient. I ate breakfast in the restaurant 3 times, each time ordering something different, and all choices were very good. I was told by locals that their Carver steak house is one of the best in Saskatoon. The hotel is in a great location – numerous restaurants are right around the corner and the river is just across the street. It is also a fairly easy walk (maybe 15 minutes) to the downtown that is across the river (down the bridge on Broadway) as well. All in all, I’d stay here again – but if I’ll be sure to check my reservation to make sure what I thought I reserved, is what I reserved.

I was booked here for 4 nights for a conference. We ended up having a staffing emergency that I found out about just hours before I was supposed to leav (due to a coworker having COVID) for Saskatoon. I called the Bessborough and told them that I was unable to come or else our department at the hospital was at risk to close some services. They refused to waive the cancellation fee. I understand it was my issue cancelled that close to check in but I have had other hotels waive the fee in the same situations since they are extenuating circumstances. I asked if I could rebook my 4 nights instead of being charged the fee and they said they would have to pre-charge my card. Very disappointed in the Bessborough's rigid policy and unwillingness to be even a little bit flexible. I would definitely book with a different hotel next time that is more understanding.

I’ve stayed here in the past and our experience was awesome. So when we were back in town for an event at Prairieland park I was willing to pay the higher price tag to stay again. Knowing we were again travelling with kids I liked the spacious rooms and double vanity we had in previous stays. However this time our room is small, a terrible layout and we are cramped. The bathroom has the smallest vanity I’ve ever seen in a hotel bathroom if you can even call it a vanity. I had work to do on my laptop and there was no desk chair. Sandman do better, be consistent with your rooms. Room 427 not worth 192!!! This WAS my go to for family and business, but given the recent room and poor service at check in, I won’t be back! Save yourself disappointment and book at the Marriott in Stonebridge at least their rooms are worth the price!!

My favourite part of this hotel is the inside garden, the walkways to the restaurant and pool are very pretty. The garden cafe has an amazing breakfast poutine, and the in house starbucks bar was super handy. The staff are all polite. The conference rooms are very cute too, they look like little window shops, which even though we didn’t use them, they were cute. Staff was friendly at all hours of the day. Showers had amazing pressure and lots of hot water. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back

For the hotel with 400 yuan a night, the location, facilities and sanitation are quite good. It is beyond my expectations. The service is not good. It may be because of cheap hotels, so there is nothing in the lobby. People, just one or two people, so what is basically self-help.

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times with my family it has become our favourite place to stay in Saskatoon because of the full fridge, kitchen area, seating area and spacious bathroom. This trip I would give a 5 star for service alone but there are little things that could be spruced up such as the fridge could use a wipe on the top it was very dusty. The beds the pillows were great but the beds themselves left to be desired and both were noisy and creaky. The walls are very thin in this hotel you will hear a lot of noise. Continental breakfast was back to serve yourself buffet style which I was not really comfortable with yet but personal preference. The staff however like I said absolutely phenomenal. I stayed for an extended stay as I had surgery and was staying for medical reasons. They worked out a medical rate for me which I so appreciate as I love this hotel but the price per night has jumped significantly since my previous stays. Upon checking in we went to enter our room and the keys did not work, went and got them rekeyed and entered our room to find it had smelt like it had been vaped/smoked inside. I phoned down to the front desk to ask if another room was available if not it was okay. The front desk person was more than apologetic and came and met me at the elevator on the floor with new keyed room keys for a new room. I had my parents staying with me as my surgery made it so I could not drive nor lift my arms and they were accommodating to all their requests though my name was on the reservation which I appreciated since I was not very mobile. Housekeeping we didn’t need during our time but we’re always on the floor and coming by as they were back in full force no more COVID protocol of skipping room care. We had them take our garbage and would ask for toilet paper and more towels which was always handled promptly. While staying there a hockey team had checked in and my dad had made conversation with one of the housekeepers who said they designate certain floors for the hockey teams and knew we would need quiet so made sure to have us on a separate floor from them. I tried to post a review on the official marriot website but I can’t find where to do so so I do hope their staff sees the review here somehow. I had to stay at other hotels during this surgery as I had appointments in Regina and Saskatoon and this hotel with their staff and cleanliness FAR exceeded the hotel I stayed at in Regina.

Stayed one night while passing through.  Decor is modern and up to date.  Room was overall clean,and spacious (we had a standard king).  Shower was large and had great water pressure. Carpets were clean and I felt comfortable walking with bare feet. The pool was good -water was very warm which was nice since there was no hot tub.  Things to improve upon: I wish it had a mini fridge and safe.  While the room was overall clean, there were a few scuff marks on the entry way wall that just needed a Magic Eraser.  The pool tile around the edge (just above the waterline) was grimy (you could scrape your fingernail through it). The pool bottom was fine (i.e. not slimy or gross/disgusting). I would still come back and stay here again - just a bit more elbow grease is needed in some areas.

Myself, my fb & his brother booked two rooms for a family funeral. My bf’s other brother & his gf, who arrived a day after we did, requested a room close to us. They were simply told “no”. Not “I’m sorry, there isn’t anything available.” Just “no”. They were also charged $13 for parking while we were not! You could tell it’s an older hotel but has been renovated nicely. It was very clean and the bed was comfy, which is most important. We were not in the West Wing, but in the main hotel. Was quiet as well, also important. We found the room warm but you could not open a window. Just a small slat could be opened at the bottom of the window. It did not provide much relief but we were comfortable enough. The bathroom did not have a fan! Nice Irish pub 20 steps from the hotel lobby. Very nice restaurant off lobby as well. Over all it was an ok stay, but wasn’t impressed with how our other family member was treated, so wouldn’t stay here again.

This hotel works hard to provide customer service. From the housekeeping staff to the waitress at the Irish pub, the front desk staff and our lovely waitress in the restaurant for brunch as well as the chef who was frequently checking in with customers, we had a wonderful stay.
