Finding the Right Saskatoon Hotels
Visiting Saskatoon is much more enjoyable if you find the right hotel. As travellers, the first thing we think of when vacationing is to find and book a hotel room. Too often vacationers book a room based only on price and forget the role the hotel will have in their vacation experience. If you've travelled extensively, you know the hotel can play a big role in whether your trip was enjoyable and the refreshing experience you needed. A bad hotel stay can ruin your trip so it's wise to consider what you need in a good Saskatoon hotel.
Hotels are paying more attention to the features that their customers are seeking. That feedback is pivotal to not only their marketing efforts but to ensuring all hotels are competing and improving their rooms, restaurants and services.
The key features people want in a hotel are: low prices, good location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, safety, televisions, Internet connection, hot tub, Jacuzzi, pool, spa, exercise/fitness centre, business services, meeting facilities, room service, refrigerators, clothing irons, game consoles, free parking, hotel architecture and ambience, and friendly staff. Some of these amenities won't matter to specific travellers and the traveller should take a closer look at each feature and weigh its merits. If you have time to relax, the hotel's pool, gardens, lobby areas, and beds may be worth focusing on. Hotels are proficient at portraying their properties as better than they actually are leaving some travellers with a sour experience.
Every hotel offers its own blend of features to appeal to its targeted customers. Ratings provided by independent organizations such as the CAA are one way you can review a hotels quality and amenities. Tripadvisor and Frommers are two additional online resources.
Let's take a look at some of the hotels in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and what ambiance, amenities and services you might expect. Some are modern while others offer a little bit of Saskatchewan history. A few are impressive structures with expansive grounds and gardens with great views of the South Saskatchewan River. Others are lower priced accommodations that are okay for a night and quick access to local pubs and downtown shops. Sometimes, it is necessary to phone hotels to ask about the beds themselves. People often complain about the condition of the bed itself and how it disturbed their sleep.
