I came to Edmonton on a leisure trip to visit some friends and family that live out there. I booked a room, expecting something basic and bland for the affordable rate I was paying for a prime Downtown location. This room and the amenities it had to offer, greatly exceeded my expectations coming in. With this room and the affordable rate I got: a hotel in prime location (by all resteraunts, bars, malls, train stations and attractions), a complimentary satisfying breakfast, free parking for visitors and guests (which apparently is not common in Downtown Edmonton), free internet, as well as wonderful service by all the staff. Everyone working there was very friendy and hospitable. I dealt with them on a number of occasions, asking their expertise, and each time they provided very sound advice. The hotel and the room were very clean and respectable as well. The size of the room was much bigger than expected, and the tvs and appliances were all new as well. I didn't get a chance to use the swimming pool or fitness room, but took a stroll past them and saw guests who seemed to be enjoying these ammenties as well. All in all, for what you pay, this hotel far exceeds your expectations and doesn't dissapoint. Would definitly stay here again.
