Love the place. Beautiful building. Staff are awesome. The elevator sucks. Only two floors of rooms so I preferred the stairs. Parking is minimal in the back..

Enjoyed the history and decor of this old hotel ,rooms are good and brought up to modern standards and nicely done Continental breakfast was depleted and no coffee was available However the street business transactions that were happening at 8.30 am beside the hotel was interesting to say the least. I realize hotel has no control over this

The Senator was great value for the money but you need to be aware of what you're getting. Let's start with the great: The staff. Very friendly and helpful. A real highlight. Free parking. Fantastic. Clean rooms and clean bathrooms. Comfortable beds. The hotel is older and fairly worn. The staff keep it very clean, but carpets and furniture all have seen better days. I noticed a strong smell in the hallways, but the rooms smelled fresh and clean. The room was spacious and equipped with an iron and ironing board. Towels were on the small side and scratchy. Toiletries, soap etc, were standard hotel fare. The AC/heating unit was very noisy, so much so that I switched it off completely over night. I gave the included breakfast a miss - a few sad muffins and questionable coffee. There are better options nearby. Saskatoon, like many other cities, ripped its own downtown out in the 1960's and 70's and as a result consists mostly of disconnected concrete blocks with zero character - not the hotel's fault of course but that's what is surrounding it. There were a fair number of homeless people around and absolutely nobody walked anywhere - people are in their cars. Overall, the Senator is a good budget option run by super friendly people. If that's what you need, its a great option.

The location was perfect. Everyone on the staff deserved 5 stars-thank you! We enjoyed the free continental breakfast. If you’re expecting brand new, this might not be the place for you. This hotel was built in 1908, and the features are lovely. We can see that they’re working on upgrades, which is an ongoing thing with older buildings. The attached pub served cold beer and good food. It’s an 18 minute Uber from the airport. The hotel is within a 5-15 minute walk to many local sites, restaurants and shopping plazas.

Parking was a little inconvenient on Friday or weekends in the evening. Very home like feel. The room was great. Be patient for warm/hot water but start tap 1 or 2 minutes before and it will come. Probably on demand hot water so just give it a minute or 2 and will be there. Great lounge or bar . Would definitely stay again.

This was my third time staying here for the tattoo convention and I’m not sure I will be back. The price isn’t bad but I think I’d rather pay more for a nicer, more updated room somewhere else. It was nice being able to have free parking behind the hotel but I would highly encourage you not to double park for the valet to have to move you. One of the staff at the front had to move another guests vehicle because they were blocking us in and I’m not sure this man should’ve had his license. It took him about 20 mins to try and back up in a space that would’ve taken any competent person 2 seconds to do. He ended up letting me get in this random persons vehicle to back up out of the space so we could get out, definitely against hotel policy but we’re also pretty sure he banged their rear on the yellow concrete pylons. Also while checking out we heard other guests saying how the hotel had ruined their ignition by trying to put someone else’s key to try and start their car. We found a cockroach in our hotel room and at one point the cold water tap in our shower stopped working so we had to get someone to fix it. Everything is super outdated besides maybe the tvs. The only redeeming quality is how close it is to a lot of good food and nightlife spots.

-A to the cleaning staff, rooms were spotless. -Continental breakfast consisted of coffee with no cream, muffins & yogurt with no spoons. -front doors locked all the time, why? Because there are druggies prepping meth or whatever on the front steps (I wish I was lying) -parking is VERY limited. FCFS, car janga basically and you’re to leave your keys at the front desk. Paid parking everywhere else and the meter maids were on it bright & early. -rooms are loud, beds are awful -would not stay again, ever

I love the antiquities throughout the hotel and how warm the lobby feels. The bathroom in our room looked in need of renovation. Despite being in the heart of downtown the soundproofing to the street was very good. I appreciated having access to the property balcony overhanging the front of the business, watching people go by and listening to the music piped into the street by the bar. The staff were lovely and friendly.

Lots of crime around the property. I stayed at the Hotel Senator for a work trip, and had lots of product in my vehicle that needed to be delivered to customers. I appreciate that the manager was honest, and let me know that I should not leave anything in sight in my vehicle, however taking all the product inside the hotel was a pain, and made the stay less convenient
