Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Saskatoon by IHG

It was a fabulous stay. The hotel was fully booked. We attended the sold-out Jelly Roll concert at the Sasktel Center. Front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. Everything ran very smoothly, you can tell they are a very busy hotel. Rooms were very clean, and the beds were so comfy. The complimentary breakfast was hot and fresh, and the staff running the breakfast were busy keeping everything clean and stocked. The coffee available in the evening was a nice touch and they have decaf for us who can't have regular coffee which is a huge bonus. 😀 we really liked that we had different options close to our rooms for suppers, and shopping. Also public transit picked up and dropped off just a few blocks away for the concert. So the location for our rooms was perfect. Not positive if this is for all concerts and the same location but something to look into as you get dropped off and picked up at the front doors of the Sasktel Center. We will most definitely be back to stay, whether it's for a concert or just a weekend getaway.

Check-in and check-out were very easily handled. Our room for the price we paid was amazing. I think it is great the hotel makes sure there is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash I however wasn't aware and brought my own, which is ok a couple of times. I did use the hotel ones. A huge thing but always is every hotel I attend is the towels this is a message that I hope gets sent to every hotel, bigger towels are needed the average size person does stay at hotels yes, but the slightly bigger if not even slightly bigger person stays at hotel too. I understand you can't or maybe even can but won't make bigger I wish the hotel businesses would us slightly bigger people would like to feel comfortable too instead of feeling like we don't fit or even belong for that matter. The pool was amazing, I'm basically a fish when it comes to the water there was alot of horsing around when we were in there though alot of kids not following the rules as well as parents not doing anything. I understand it is not hotels responsibility to control the kids I just wish I had told the hotel staff when we were done in the pool so something could have been done about it.

One thing they left food for me to pick up earlier than breakfast times as I had to get medical tests done and couldn't eat in the morning. They were very accommodating and friendly and kept in touch with us as we checked in later as we were traveling from afar.

They had everything we needed. Great room, fast and friendly service. Good breakfast options. Very clean. Nice, simple pool and hot tub to enjoy the stay even more.

Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good.
