Hotel Saskatchewan

Was in Regina for the week on business and was fortunate enough to stay at the Hotel Saskatchewan. The hotel is well maintained inside and out and it dominates a great central location in downtown Regina.Check-in was fast and friendly with the clerk making sure to give the entire rundown of the hotel's amenities. From other comments the hotel has been renovated recently and I have to say, it looks good. The only exception would be the pool/fitness area. Aside from the gym equipment, I don't think a lot of money was spent on this space. They also no longer have an infrared sauna. The room was comfortable and well-appointed, no stationary though. I also wouldn't mind a fully-stocked minibar as opposed to just the bottles of red and white (had the red, it was good). Wifi worked well for work. Wouldn't mind a pay-per-view movie service though. No issues with noise, some issues with shower water pressure though very minor. I had a great sleep every night. One odd thing though was that the water tasted bad; so alkaline it was almost undrinkable. Not sure if this was because of water softening or the city. Had room service and ate in the restaurants. Room service was always prompt though I had to call multiple times one night. The food here is amazing, only one less than stellar meal (the papparedelle, it wasn't seasoned enough). Steak, amazing. Pork chop, unbelievable. The bartender here is a wizard at cocktails and they're cheap! You haven't had an old fashioned, manhattan, or sidecar, until you've had one here. The service was very poor in the breakfast room though so maybe avoid that and do room service. The food was good and they had an omelette bar.Regarding the service in the breakfast room, nobody acknowledged me when I came in. I stood waiting while being ignored until a gentleman behind me did an obvious, "good morning" to the staff. I waited five minutes to order coffee/juice from the hostess because my waitress was "busy" (the room had three people in it). Then when she did show up, she dropped off the bill immediately and mentioned how I could take my coffee to go. Whenever I put down my fork to read the paper she sprang up asking if I was finished and offered to get me a to go cup. I got the distinct impression she wanted me out of there ask quickly as possible.Anyway, aside from that the rest of the stay was fantastic and I would highly recommend to any traveler in the Regina area. The hotel has a great location, good service, excellent on site dining options, a well-stocked fitness room, and comfortable accommodations. Pro-tip: Get a shoe shine. It's cheap and your shoes will look better than new.

I booked a table for 4 at the Hotel Saskatchewan for Mother's Day this year. The prices were astronomical - roughly $250 for the four of us, so maybe my expectations were too high. But that didn't include any drinks, since 4 relatively small mimosas set you back around $35. And don't forget a tip on top of all of that. The food was nothing special, and the atmosphere was not conducive to talking thanks to a duo playing music with the volume loud enough to hasten you on your way. The only positive thing about the entire meal was the desserts, which lived up to my expectation. I could have put this down to just me expecting too much, but I compared notes later with a co-worker that I ran into at the brunch and his opinion was no better than mine. I can't comment on their usual breakfast or brunch, but I would definitely pass on their next special event.

Sells it self as an autograph hotel...the queen of England stayed here don't you know. Standard king room ok. High ceilings nice...mediocre attempt at turning a sows ear into a silk purse. No pool, overheated hot tub. Only basic Wi-Fi for free otherwise $14.95...not sure for what?The only excellent thing that impressesd me about this hotel is the young woman who opens the door and the gym equipment.

This place has a great atmosphere and great service. When the Royal family or the Prime Minster come to Regina this is where they stay and it is easy to see why. Rates for the rooms are very reasonable bathrooms are small. Restaurant and lounge are a bit pricey but in my opinion worth it for the quality, selection, atmosphere and service.
