Saskatoon Homestays

From check in to departure, we loved our stay. Check in was handled professionally by a young man and being that I booked through Expedia, I received an automatic upgrade to a very large room on the second floor. I also received a free breakfast and late checkout. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful and Connie was superb as our breakfast waitress. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the dining area has a great atmosphere. We did not try the pool but it was lovely and if you have kids with you they would love it. The room was very clean and comfortable with a separate tv sitting area with fridge and microwave. Being a Toronto Maple Leaf fan, it was great to discover a Wendel Clark restaurant a very short drive away 💙..(5 minutes) Strong wifi and an excellent shower made everything perfect. Got those who like Starbucks, there was a small coffee shop in the lobby. Great stay and will return again.

Western-style breakfast, basically the same. No extra beds and free parking. When staying in Canada, except for Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, locations need to be considered. Other cities rarely need to consider location. Take Saskatoon as an example, passing through the city in ten minutes! !!

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.

My hockey team stayed at this hotel January 2022. It was -30 in Saskatoon, so I wore my winter jacket into the hotel, and I hung it in the closet. My team checked out of the hotel on Sunday and I left the hotel wearing a suit for my game. My team played our game and travelled back to our home town 4 hours away. Monday I realized I left my jacket in the closet. I called the hotel and was told someone already checked into the room and they would check with housekeeping. Housekeeping didn’t find my jacket.. hmmm not sure how well cleaning is done if you don’t notice a jacket in a closet. I know 100% it was hung and left in the closet and by my mistake I forgot it. I am very disappointed that housekeeping claims they didn’t find it.

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.

Stayed here for 2 nights and my room was in a very quiet location. Lots of parking available. Newly renovations could be seen throughout property. Staff was very friendly at check in and checkout. They have a restaurant on site and also a new continental breakfast which is great to get you started for the day. Value for price paid was great and location was close to everything I needed. Would stay here again.

My wife and I stayed here a number of times while visiting a relative who was in Royal University Hospital. Great value for the price paid and within easy walking distance of RUH (5 minutes). The rooms were small for two people but very clean and modern. The bathroom that we shared with other patrons was quite large and there was rarely a problem with it being occupied. We also had access to other shared bathrooms. The experience was more 'European' but enjoyable and certainly not an issue for us. The rooms were quiet and you have the choice of staying upstairs or downstairs. Outside shoes are to be left at the entrance door. There are two large, bright kitchens--one on each floor--allowing you to cook your own meals (to save on food costs). Guests are provided with a continental breakfast with your choice of toast, bagel, or muffin, together with a fruit and a small juice box. Parking is free and convenient (both behind and in front of the building). Located near Ronald McDonald House and within walking distance of Alexander's restaurant on College (10 min). Downtown Saskatoon is across the river and easily accessed via University Bridge, and there is a pleasant view of College Drive, the bridge, and the river from the kitchen/lounge areas on the top floor. Staff are personable, professional, and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone on a budget who needs easy walking access to RUH or the University of Saskatchewan. We will certainly stay here again.

This is a very clean, restful, and upbeat lodging experience. The staff are exceptionally friendly, the bistro is great (ambiance and food), and it is simply minutes from the airport. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay — this property rises above the typical Courtyard Marriott.

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.
