Central location,close to all amenities and family who live close by.Suited us because although visiting family we wanted comfort and independence.A place we’ve wanted to stay at on previous visits and so it was good to live a little dream.

Poor wi fi and staff unable to sort or offer help , paying for parking,and thought better use of the lovely garden - tables chairs afternoon tea opportunities missed to enhance the business here as well as enticing outsiders to look in.excellent but

I love the Bess. The staff are exceptional, the building beautiful and central and the spot on the river outstanding.

It requires a little more maintenance. Our taps were not working properly. Our colleagues' taps simply came off in their hands in their room. And the restaurant menu needs updating. In a town full of spectacular restaurants, the food at the Bess is bland.

very friendly staff, very clean hotel, great restaurant

Chose to not have housecleaning during my stay but couldn't seem to get in room coffee for 2nd & 3rd day, Even though I asked at the desk and was told it would be delivered to my room, I never received it. Onsite parking is very limited.

Very good room, great view, all was convenient. Food is very mediocre

Paid for everything - breakfast pointed like "included" at booking.com was only partially reimbursed. Outside parking is not free also. I asked for meeting room for 1 hour and the price was overwhelmingly high - I cancelled my booking and ofund found alternative solution

Never had breakfast, location was out of the way but i didn't mind .

As I was leaving for the day I informed the maid and asked her to fix up the room and restock the toilet paper , she didn't . I had to go ask for some at the front desk which was a bit embarrassing.

the view,location and the hotel architecture

some of the staff at the restaurant where we had breakfast that morning. But the guy who served us at the bar in the new year eve night was really friendly and good, he gave us a lots of recommendations and respect us a customer.

The hotel location, and room are excellent.

The front desk staff were not that friendly. I have stayed at this hotel before years ago and found the front desk staff at check in and check out to be more friendly and welcoming in the past.

Staff was amazing, thank you Brandon for the friendly, quick and professional service always! Free bike use was a great way to see the river valley Interesting artwork and historical photos around the hotel Staff was very friendly in showing us the special design features around the hotel Loved self parking, no issues finding space in lots, good security in lots Very comfortable bed Pool facilities are BEAUTIFUL, very clean, peaceful, lots of towels Appreciated courtesy water bottles in room

Nothing, we love the Bess! A place to refill water bottles or coffee in lobby would be nice More bikes to use (we had to wait a couple of times) No bath towels in room, only small towels, we used our pool towels instead

The historic feeling and class of the room, and the feeling of pampering from the login method of the wi-fi to the personalized welcome message on the tv. Gave a professional and pampered feeling to the stay. The shower was excellent and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated the large desk with many spaces for plugs, and the specific lighting for reading while in bed.

I was a tad disappointed that I had to settle for a smaller bed as at my time of check in my booked room wasn't available. As housekeeping was delayed and I was unable to wait it was the only option I could have. The room was good, but wasn't the one I wanted to book. Other than that I would say the washroom not having a fan was a small negative but nothing too bothersome.

There was an issue with my first room but 1 call and it was immediately solved by moving me to a new room. I'm so pleased with the quickness. Although I only booked 1 night through booking I did end up extending my stay. It's right on the river and right near where I need to be in central downtown Saskatoon. There is a shopping center about 3 blocks away. I didn't know this at the time of booking but the Jazz Festival is on! Do with that info what you will! The breakfast service was excellent, the simple breakfast was very tasty. Also! There are a couple of free bikes you can borrow from the front desk so you can bike along the meewasin trail! Please take advantage if you can.
