Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Hotel Rooms at the Independent

This has to be the best hotel in Saskatoon and possibly one of the best in Canada

If you understand that youre sharing the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms, this is the best value you can find. $2/ night cheaper than the dorms at U of S. Never anyone around to actually share with, so,essentially you have a house to yourself. Quiet at night, beds feel just like memory foam, and come with two kinds of pillows (fat and thin)! Only complaint would be slow drains in one of the four bathrooms, but all are modern. Free WiFi and Shaw Cable TV. You just pay up front and leave your key on the room when you're done. Great check in and check out times.

Received a free room upgrade to a newly renovated suite. Kids and I had our own sleeping areas and TVs and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on!

First visit, simple procedure for checking in, verry good desk person, quite helpful. The whole place was clean, simple, uncomplicated and was whatr I was expecting. Nothing fancy but what I needed. Kitchen was clean and neat, signage was clear, one felt that if you used the kitchen you needed to leave it as clean as you found it. I will use it again.

I found the staff to be very helpful and nice, room was well appointed and clean. Not sure what else you can ask for.

Best service ever received at any hotel, including many 5 star hotels throughout the world. The manager saw that there was a group of us waiting for cabs that didn't come, and so gave us a ride in her car.

Had a good sleep no noise, hotel is clean and has been updated, free newspaper and the internet signal is good

We had a very comfortable stay at the Senator. It is a beautifully restored over 100 year old hotel (build in 1908). As you know when you book with any of the agencies like Expedia the rooms given are not the executive rooms therefore do not expect an executive room. Our room was more than adequate but had only a double bed, which was fine for us because we are not large people but I can see this being a problem if people are of a larger size. I think a request for a queen would be possible though, the staff were very helpful. There is a Keurig machine in the room and you get good Van Houtte coffee. I suggest running a cup full of water through it before use because they seem to clean it with bleach, which is very sanitary, which I appreciate but which leaves a bad taste in the machine which needs to be removed before your first use. We were given the choice of the first or second floor to stay on. Choose the second floor to avoid the risk of noise disturbance from the bar, we stayed in a room on the second floor and had a nice quiet stay even though we were right above the bar, we never heard a thing. Parking is hard to find. If you use their parking in back, of which they have a little but not a whole lot and it is tight, you have to surrender your keys because they must double park the vehicles. The bar has excellent food, we never had a chance to try Rembrandt's though. We had a very pleasant stay and would stay there again.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Saskatoon. I have no complaints. Restaurant was very good. Staff were very friendly.

The front desk workers were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It took less than 5 minutes to check in and to check out. The room was very clean. i will definitely be staying here again next time i am in the city.
