We stayed here because we were attending a concert at the Convention Centre and wanted something close by...And it is directly next door..We had an awesome room with a great view of the river valley..Very nice decor and spotlessly clean..Would stay there again and the price was very reasonable..
The hotel looks like it has been renovated recently, the rooms are spacious (I had a business room for 109 CAD during the week-end), the bed is big and comfy, there is free internet.
It is located in Downtown Edmonton so except for a Mall that is 2 blocks away, there is not much to do/see close to the hotel.
