We stayed at the Saskatoon Country Inn & Suites July 18 - 23/06. We found the hotel to be a fair value for the money. ($99/night AAA price) We wanted a 1 bedroom suite which is a pretty good size because we were going to be there for 5 nights.

Pros:

Breakfast is decent: hot & cold cereals, toaster waffles and french toast, hard boiled eggs, bagels, toast, muffins, sliced citrus fruits and melon, coffee & tea.
Free wireless internet which worked great
Hotel was very clean and tidy.
Front office staff was fine to deal with.

Cons:
no swimming pool or whirlpool, airconditioners are loud - we had to turn off overnight or we couldn't sleep. The fridge in the suite is TINY - maybe 1 or 2 cubic feet. The other problem we had was that our card keys needed to be reset 3 times in 5 days!

***Be aware that the outside of the hotel has been upgraded and looks like new but the inside is clearly not a new property.*** Also note that the hotel doesn't really have any grounds (like a patio or courtyard) and the hotel rooms don't have balconies.

Another couple travelling with us said their room was VERY dark and they didn't really like to stay in the room. Our room had light coloured furniture and the window was in the bedroom so that room was light and bright, the inside room was quite dark even during the day with the bedroom door open as wide as possible.

Would I stay there again? Probably not since there are other properties in the same price range which are nicer or have better facilities.

My partner, his two teenage sons, and I stayed in this hotel on July 1, 2005.

We had two rooms, a standard room with 2 double beds and an executive with king size bed. The latter included internet hook-up, some office supplies, and better quality and more toiletries. Both rooms had a CD player and a coffee maker. A large selection of new release CDs are offered free of charge in a vending machine in the lobby. One must have a credit card for a security deposit.

A light breakfast is included (bread, bagels, muffins, jams, peanut butter, cream cheese, juice, yogurt, cold cereal, hard boiled eggs, toaster waffles, juice, hot chocolate, fruit, and coffee), as well as the local newspaper and the National Post. Additionally, complimentary current best selling paperback books are also offered. Guests may take these with them and keep them, or return them to another Country Inn, in which case a charitable donation will be made by the hotel.

The hotel also has a fitness centre with up-to-date equipment.

The hotel is well kept and the rooms are very clean. The decor is a little hokey but in keeping with the hotel's "country" theme.

We paid slightly over $80.00 each for both rooms and considered it tremendous value.

Although we have previously selected Country Inns only for affordable travel with kids, my partner was so impressed with the executive room in Saskatoon that he said he'd consider it for business travel in the fuure in lieu of the Bess or Radisson.

Found the web site and got a great deal by booking online. One draw back is the penalty for cancelling.
Every other weekend, last summer, my son and I were in Saskatoon for field lacrosse. The Country Inn and Suites was a wonderful place to come back to after a hot day in the sun. The staff were great and the rooms were very clean. I was most impressed by the continential breakfast, I could enjoy the peace and quiet until my son got up.
Each room had a small fridge and you could get free movies in the lobby. Will definitely stay here again this summer during lacrosse season!!!

I pre-paid for three rooms a month before I planned to stay at the country Inn and suites. I was arriving in Saskatoon during a busy time and I knew that many hotel were already full. I arrived in Saskatoon around 11:00 at night - very tired and wanting to go to bed to find out that they had failed to notice I had payed for my hotel rooms and gave them away! I was left, stranded in the city with no hotel room!

After an hour of talking with the front desk did I get my money back as they were very unfriendly and did not think they should give my money back. I was even laughed at when I went to check in! I was told it was my fault for arriving late.

If you plan on staying at this hotel...think again!
