I love the Alt. I've stayed at several downtown hotels in Saskatoon and this is the keeper. It's a good value, ideal for business travellers. The place is clean, modern and centrally located. I really didn't have an issue during my stay. The meals I had in the onsite restaurant (Bokeh) were better than expected.

The forced air heating system is really loud — even with ear plugs. I checked and another guest on the floor had the same issue. Another downside depending on what you want is that there's no onsite coffee shop/cafe or room service. You just have to work around that.

I probably had one of the BEST hotel experiences of my life. Everything was perfect. I even took pictures of the room I was in so one day I can renovate my house to have it be just like it! It was great. I liked the full and partial blinds on the windows so I could enjoy the sunset but have privacy.

I wish there was a complimentary breakfast option or voucher from the breakfast place across the plaza - maybe there is a partnership there between ALT and that place. This is picky but the Kombucha available in the convenience area was so expensive!! I drink it and that was the most expensive I've ever seen. It was delicious however.

I have no criticisms about my stay at this hotel, even constructive ones. It had everything I needed for a positive experience. The room, though small, was thoughtfully set up. The temperature in the room was just right, and the bed was the most comfortable one I've ever slept in. The water pressure in the shower was good, the view (though not technically a room with a view), was very nice and, importantly, I had an undisturbed sleep (very quiet). The location was excellent, and all the staff I encountered were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel and the room lacked character. But that's just a personal preference, I prefer historic buildings over modern ones.

I liked how the location was on the promenade. The rooms, though small, were ideal for two people, and they made efficient use of the space. In some ways, it was more comfortable than more spacious hotels. The hotel's charcuterie restaurant was also wonderful, and to top it off, we had a beautiful view of the sun coming down over the river.

Some confusion arose over where to park, as their primary parkade was full, but the staff immediately handled it by directing guests to a parkade tower adjacent. This wasn't an issue, and I appreciated the prompt service.

The location is perfect for what we were doing in Saskatoon. Being close the riverbank, walking trails, etc. was very convenient. The views are amazing and the rooms comfotable.

The parking situation is awful and I was surprised that we did not automatically have a spot in the hotel's parkade when we are a guest. I had to park in the lot under the freeway a bit of a walk away which I was not excited about getting back to the hotel after our evening plans close to 10 pm. It did not feel safe and I was nervous about my vehicle being left there overnight.

We chose this hotel for the downtown location. Breakfast could have been provided for the price or even possibly a parking pass. Restaurants for supper and breakfast were within walking distance and the room was clean and quiet.

Parking could be easier to access. As well as signage for the front entrance of the hotel as it was a bit confusing. We ended up parking in the Nutrien building for parking as we had a difficult time finding the parking garage for the hotel.

I liked how the hotel was very clean and organized. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms looked amazing. The pricing of the king size room we stayed in looked way more expensive than we actually paid for the room. It was lovely!

What I didn’t like about the rooms is that you have two key cards and you have to put one in the slot right by the door to have power. It was my first time staying at this hotel and it was confusing trying to figure out how to turn the lights on after turning on all the switches.

Sarah, at the front desk asked how my day was. I told her I had booked to attend the funeral of a best friend. She offered sympathies. I apologized for dropping such heavy news on a casual question. I told her I was ok and in an effort to appreciate the friends I still have, I was going out for a couple of beers with buddies. She was kind, Had a couple chuckles and I left. I returned from beers to find a bag full of items from their concession stand, gift cards, and a note that read, “dear James, we are sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I have put together a small bag of treats for you. Enjoy, your evening beers with buddies, with sympathy, Sarah”

Nothing.

The room is comfortable and clean. Well laid out and has everything you need. The space is very functional. The view is fantastic and I love the central location.

The only thing that was frustrating is the limited parking situation and even though I paid to park in the parkade, there were no spots when I returned Saturday night after the event I was in town to attend. I had to park on the street and walk a distance in the dark alone.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay at the Alt Hotel, Saskatoon. The room was spotless with a beautiful view on the river and the bed was very comfy. I really appreciated the quality of the complementary coffee in the room. The localisation was perfect to me. The front desk staff welcomed me with genuine warmth and friendliness which added a nice touch to my stay. I highly recommend the Alt Hotel!
