Disliked: Staff & service
Our stay initially was fantastic. The food service staff were amazing. But when we checked out we had a difficult time. We paid with gift cards and they were not processed properly. We then had a deposit for the room held on our credit card for over a week and we are still dealing with this. The manager was also really rude and short with us. I made a formal complaint. I won’t be going back to the Edmonton location again.

The rooms are quiet, clean and very comfortable. Bathroom was newly renovated and clean, We stayed over a summer weekend and the hotel was quite busy with a wedding etc. very congested with vehicles outside the front doors for most of our stay - valet parking was appreciated. I didn’t find the front desk staff especially helpful and was left with the impression our single room booking wasn’t worth any effort on their part. So - the hotel is lovely but the staff seem to cater to large groups preferentially. Nice walking access to the river and surrounding parks. Downtown feels a little unsafe after dark.

Beautiful hotel. Our host checking in was amazing. The beds were so comfortable and the view from our room was great. The food at the restaurant was delicious! There was an event and left the bathroom and far end of the grounds with some garbage on it and also in the bathroom on the lower floor. I called to ask some questions before arriving, the male person that answered was a little abrupt. But other than that. Our stay was great!

Mom and Me
My daughter and I took some minutes to have an overdue mom and me staycation. I originally hesitated to book as other hotels are more economical. However, the decision to indulge in a treat at this hotel was worth every penny. The staff were beyond friendly and professional, the ambiance was exactly what life wished for and the comfort was good for the soul. We have decided to make this an annual retreat and look so forward to coming back again!!
