Sandman Signature Edmonton Downtown Hotel

The hotel is an older building and I like older buildings (solid wood doors, large spacious rooms, real closet). But don't get me wrong, it's been updated to feel more contemporary (furniture is still a little thrift store), but I personally like the character. Beds are great. Reception is friendly. Location is a bit dodgy -- Uber driver told us to avoid the east side as lots of homeless. But we weren't bothered.

Great location, and direct access to the downtown pedway! Enjoyable pool and hot tub on the top floor with a great view. We had a comfy chaise lounge in our room next to the latge window.

I liked the security for the elevator. You need your room key to access levels so no vagrants can just go anywhere. Staff were great and moved us to a different room when the toilet quit working. Access to the arena through walkways between buildings was great so you didn’t need to go outside. Staff was always friendly. Pool and sauna were great.

Let me start by saying I am NEVER impressed by hotels. I always feel like they are terrible value for the money. However, this was not the case here; Our stay was wonderful! We mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary when we booked and upon check in they wished us a happy anniversary and presented up with 2 $10 vouchers to use at the Chop Steakhouse located in the lobby. This was perfect as we were planning to eat there before heading to the comedy show we had tickets for. Our room was huge. Nice and cool with the AC. A great view from the 16th floor. The beds were decent and spacious. And the water pressure in the shower and from the sink were impressive. After our comedy show it was late and heading back to the hotel we didn't find a convenience store to grab some Bottled water at. We were going to use uber eats or skip the dishes to have some delivered but it was quoting a 45 minute delivery time for one app and no drivers available for the other. We called downstairs to ask if they sold Bottled water and they let us know they provide complimentary Bottled water to all guests! Fantastic! I headed downstairs and requested 4 bottles and they were ICE COLD! As a self proclaimed water addict/snob this was such a treat considering we couldn't find water anywhere else at that late hour and we were quite parched! We visited the pool early the next morning before checkout and we're again pleasantly surprised. While the pool and hot tub were truly nothing fancy it came with a lovely view of downtown from the 26th floor. They also had lovely loungers! Not your typical ugly plastic ones either! Overall, our stay far surpassed my expectations! We were super close to our event, our supper was right downstairs, complimentary Bottled water really sealed the deal for me and to top it off the room was an absolute steal of a deal especially being the night of an event at rogers place which is literally right across the street.

Great location, especially if you're watching an Oilers game. Walkways/Skyways get you to the arena without ever having to go outside, so there's no need to bring winter gear to the game! Super comfy bed, labeled pillows 1 firm and 1 soft so great option depending on your need. Chop restaraunt is right there and sonic Joey Bell Tower across the street . Nice pool and hot tub on the 26th floor.
