We were parking upon arrival and a room door opened, smoke billowed out, a drug deal took place, the buyers left, and one person pounded on door to be let in. The entire place reeked of smoke (regardless of our no smoking room). Entire place was shabby. We slept and got out. We prayed no crawling viditors joined us.

Walls in the room had chunks missing. Holes in doors. Pillows were not clean. No face cloths. Tub ledge was dirty and had long black hair. Bathroom sink wouldn’t drain. And the last straw was a cockroach.

From the moment I arrived, I was disappointed. From check in when they put through a 300. charge on my credit card, which I had to go to front desk in the morning to get a credit that showed up 3 days later. Everything in the room wouldn't of added up to 300. including the 32" tv with a broken remote. I had a room with an exterior door. There was a 1" inch gap under the outside door from missing weatherstripping. The bedspread and sheets both had burn holes in them. The area is sketchy at best. I wouldn't park my car outside my room, but luckily there was a parking spot in front of office, for the night. I had to keep reminding myself that it was for only one night.

Scary and gross

Scary people. Drugs and paraphernalia just in the hall. Bloody sheets. I was horrified. The man at the desk was amazing at check in. I rented it for my x so my daughter could see him cause thought price was good. Didn’t expect much. But wow the drugs and rigs right in the hallway. My daughter was not allowed to go back.

To be honest this is the worst place I have ever stayed. This place doesn't deserve to be named a hotel and doesn't deserve to be in the list of hotels under Expedia. I wonder how saskatoon city overlooked it. I am so sorry.
