An excellent place to stay in downtown Saskatoon
Pros:

The breakfast offered was excellent. A mixture of buffet sides with made to order eggs and daily specials kept breakfast interesting and delicious. The staff throughout the hotel were also very kind and helpful. The location was perfect for our stay as it was close to restaurants and easily accessed by other areas of the city.
