Located in downtown Saskatoon, Park Town Hotel bills itself a luxury hotel. I do question that description as the building facade looks a bit dated. I do like that this is a local family owned business, rather than a corporate chain property. Stayed here for several nights while visiting Saskatoon. It is in a convenient location as it is close to downtown and Midtown, but it is situated close to the University Bridge and the University of Saskatchewan. It is also right next to the Saskatchewan River. I guess that where the luxury comes in.
Alas, my room had no real view. It was located in an annex building and seemed to have a basement room vibe as I could vaguely see apartments outside the top of my window. It was basically a back room as the closest entrance leads into the parking lot and a back exit. Still, the room had what I needed, including a mini fridge. I did like the bath toiletries that they provide, which were very fragrant and touted as indigenously owned. The hotel does have a lot of amenities, including a restaurant, an Irish pub, a comedy club and a liquor store in addition to a pool and fitness centre.
While the room that I had was not the nicest, it suited my needs. I would recommend this hotel if you are particular about location. If you are looking for a hotel with a nice view of the river, this would be one of the options I would suggest. read more
