Super 8 by Wyndham Saskatoon Near Downtown

Friendly staff and good size rooms

The sheets were not the cleanest and were very wrinkled

I was booked for an MRI at the Saskatoon facility and the hotel was only 500 m away. The staff was not particularly attentive often there is nobody at the front desk and no answer when I called, but they would usually show up within 10 or 15 minutes. The room had two king beds and a working voyage stream TV. The bathroom was clean although the fan was very noisy. There wasn’t much of a view, but you could open the windows for fresh air.

The area is rather shady. Apparently many of the people in the neighbourhood are homeless and suffer from addictions or severe mental illness. Security lady at the MRI clinic, which I visited the day before my MRI told us to be very careful, stick to the Main Street and be aware of your surroundings at all the time. She also said to be careful of people carrying machetes, although I wondered if that was a bit of an exaggeration. I did walk from my hotel from my appointment at 6:30 AM, it was light out and I could see a few people sleeping in doorways, but in the end, there was no problem. When we arrive to check in time at two there was a big sign at the desk that said no check-in till 3 o’clock, which left us somewhat panicky, especially when we phoned, and there was no answer, but the front desk lady did appear at 1:58 o’clock. There is a breakfast included, Polo it was quite modest. There was a paper bag with box of juice, an orange or an apple, muffin and reasonable coffee from an urn check out was an eventful and a cold for a cab to get us to the airport. It was a $20 fair to the airport. There are two super hotels in Saskatoon. The driver taking us from the airport got lost despite me giving him the address and the Fehr ended up being closer to $40. There is a restaurant about 100 m away on 22nd St. called the blue diamond was clean, quite reasonably priced. The menu was buried, and the food was reasonable salty for my taste.
