St. Albert Botanic Park Tours

Here’s my honest breakdown of a one night stay. I booked this hotel because it was low budget and only needed for one night. With that being said, you get what you pay for. Staff on all occasions were amazing, quick to help, pleasant and attentive. Aside from that- for starters the rooms are on the smaller side and quite dark as there is only one small window facing other units. The air conditioner is extremely loud. The built-in phone charger plug was broken so don’t forget to bring your own. The provided Keurig coffee pods had already been opened then folded over and put back into the tray. Not sure if the cleaning crew had noticed it. The arcade has 4 vintage coin based playing machines so don’t get excited and they take loonies. Waterslide was not in order and the hot tub fits about 6 people so don’t bother as it will be full at all hours. The little pantry they have for items to purchase is expensive. Think airport prices. There is no longer a Smittys at this location like pictured in photos. It has been replaced by a pizza joint. I also didn’t realize this was a less than desirable area of the city and my favourite part was the 20 or so crackheads wandering outside the property. Not even kidding. They have a security guard inside the lobby and now I know why when I went outside to grab a piece of luggage. Don’t plan this spot with family or extended stays. Otherwise it’s a cheap and convenient place to crash for the night.

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is a bit dated but it’s clean and the staff is friendly. As far as parking goes, it’s expensive and not covered in your hotel booking.

I come into the city often for shopping etc and this is my favorite place to stay. It's close to everything I need, the staff is always nice and it's clean. Also worth noting that I travel alone often and have always felt 100% safe here
