Hotel Senator, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - A Disappointing Stay
Stayed: December 21, 2024
I booked the Hotel Senator expecting to experience a vintage property with charm and character. Unfortunately, my experience from start to finish was far from what I anticipated.
Entry and Arrival
The first impression of the hotel was unsettling. Homeless individuals loitering at the entrance, some using drugs, greeted us and informed us to press a bell to get in. This individual seemed to be a regular at the property, which raised safety concerns. The entrance itself had unclear instructions on how to enter, adding to the confusion.
Front Desk and Check-In
The front desk staff was shockingly unprofessional, wearing a baseball cap and earplugs during check-in. It did not inspire confidence in the quality of service. Additionally, the hotel charged a pre-authorization of $200 for a one-night stay—an unreasonable amount considering the lack of amenities.
Room and Hallway Experience
The hallway to the room smelled unpleasant, reminiscent of a funeral home. Despite the use of strong air fresheners, the odor persisted and carried into the room.
The room itself had an impractical layout:
• The bed was oddly positioned directly in front of the main door.
• The TV was placed in a way that made it impossible to watch comfortably from the bed, with no seating area in front of it.
• The fridge was oddly placed directly on the carpet.
• The bathroom door lacked hooks to hang clothes, addin

The fellow at the front desk was very helpful and so obliging. A very personable guy.

Great place. Close to everything. Only criticism is what they called a 'continental breakfast' was misleading as there was only fruit, yogurt, and bran muffins.

Hotel staff was amazing and very helpful. Although we had an experience with one of the bartenders who demanded a tip. Excuse me i would if I felt you deserved it. But he did pull us aside and was questioning us. Then refused to serve us after the fact. Felt a little childish and unprofessional.

Lots of homeless people, might be an issue in warmer weather. Limited secure parking
