Family-friendly Hotels in Saskatoon

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.

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.

The location is good. There is a water park, which is noisy because there are many families. The soundproofing is not very good. Due to the complex structure of the hotel, it is difficult to find a room.

Room was nice and clean. Small bathroom. Mini fridge. Lobby is basic with resturant and coffee shop with limited hours. Isn't much close to grab a coffee or snack. Area felt unsafe - If I was alone and venturing out I would stay somewhere else. Elevators were quick. Our kids wanted to stay somewhere with a waterside. We have tried 3 other Saskatoon hotels with waterslides, all lower price points, and by far superior. We decided to give Delta a chance and it was disappointing, and 90% because of the pool area. The pools were cloudy, we couldn't see the bottom, they all had scum floating on top. We had to inconvience a life guard(we only saw her for a few minutes, so not really a life guard like her shirt said) to turn on the waterslide for us. The old tile floor/stairs were stained dirty and looked like a mould problem in many spots. We mostly worried about air quality with the amount of visible mold. You access the pool on the 3rd fl, but then walk down 3 or 4 flighs of stairs to the pool area. Pool wouldn't be feasible with mobility issues. Same stairs used for the waterslide access. Handrail was only on one side of the staircase, which is unsafe considering they are all wet. Will we stay here again? Probably not. Is this hotel showing it's age? Yes
