This hotel was everything they claimed to be! Newer looking, clean, staff were super helpful and kind. The only thing I would think twice about going back is the amount of wild children running around unattended in the halls past midnight.
Free breakfast had hot and cold options. Lots of underground parking available. Room was clean and beds were comfy.

Top Tips
- Select hotels offering complimentary shuttles to Edmonton International Airport (YEG), located 26 km south of downtown, a typical 25-35 minute drive. Using a hotel shuttle can save CA$60-80 (approx. US$44-59) one way compared to a taxi or rideshare. Confirm shuttle operating hours with your hotel, especially for early or late arrivals.
- Book hotels within 400-800 m of Rogers Place at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance during Edmonton Oilers games (October to April) or major concerts. Rates and foot traffic typically rise on event nights, so early booking secures better room selection.
- Reserve accommodation 6 to 10 weeks ahead during top summer festivals such as K-Days (late July), Folk Music Festival (early August), or Fringe Theatre Festival (mid-August), and University of Alberta convocation in June. These periods see a spike in demand and higher rates citywide.
- Expect to pay CA$20-40 (approx. US$15-30) per night for on-site parking in downtown hotels. Factor this into your total costs or consider properties outside the core that offer complimentary parking. Some hotels may provide charging points for electric vehicles, so verify this amenity if needed.
- Edmonton tap water meets provincial quality standards and is safe to drink. Bring or request a reusable bottle; many hotels and venues have water refill stations, helping you avoid bottled water purchases during your stay.
- During January, pack insulating layers and plan for average lows of -15°C to -20°C. Hotel rooms use central heating, leading to low humidity; bringing a small moisturizer or requesting a room humidifier can help prevent dry skin and nasal discomfort.
- Although cannabis use is legal in Alberta, most hotels prohibit smoking and vaping (including cannabis) indoors. Common penalties include cleaning fees or eviction. Check the hotel’s policy before booking or ask if they offer a designated outdoor area.
- When paying by card, select Canadian dollars (CAD) instead of US dollars if prompted. This avoids dynamic currency conversion fees, which can add 1-3% per transaction on top of your booking costs.
- For step-free access, request an accessible or ground-floor room when booking at older downtown hotels. Many buildings have limited roll-in rooms. Confirm details with the hotel to guarantee your needs are met, especially for mobility aids or visual alarms.
- Explore Edmonton hotels’ amenities. Many offer heated indoor pools, sauna access, or 24-hour fitness centers, which are ideal during the cold season. Ask staff about on-site dining that features regional Alberta cuisine.
