Don't be deceived by the exterior appearance of this hotel. It doesn't look impressive from the outside, but the suite I stayed in was excellent and the staff were really helpful. It was the best of two worlds - a spacious self-catering suite with fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, but also, unlike most airbnb-type accommodation, at Canterra Suites there are reception staff who are happy to help with information and arrangements. Shirley and Sharon were both lovely. And you can have room-cleaning service if you want it.

No negatives.

It was the perfect place to stay for a family! We had 2 king beds in 2 separate rooms, plus 2 full baths. The kitchen was just what we needed for breakfasts, fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster and dishwasher. Didn’t use the stove but it had one. It also had laundry which we used twice! Especially after the water park at WEM. It was spacious and clean and comfortable! It was perfect for our concert weekend getaway! Close to groceries, restaurants and the LRT station to Commonwealth Stadium.

The A/C took a long time to cool and was only in the main room, but there were ceiling fans in the bedrooms and portable fans in the closets, which helped. It was a minor quibble, it eventually cooled off to our liking.

Exceptional value for the money! Booked a two bedroom unit with two bathrooms and a full kitchen for the same cost of a standard room at other properties. The staff were all very friendly and helpful! The room was very clean and conformable.

The rooms are recently renovated and the common areas are in good shape but the elevators appear to be from the 1960's and while clean and in good operating condition were incredibly slow. The indoor parking are was cramped and a challenge to navigate due to the large number of columns.

The suite itself is large and clean but has a somewhat dated look and feel. The bed was large and comfortable. The suite included an office with desk that would probably suit someone for a longer term working stay.

The public areas, notably the reception and elevators, are less than inviting and could use some work. We arrived too late to get onsite secured parking and had to park nearby in an unsecured surface lot. Nothing untoward happened but I was uncomfortable with the parking location.

We stayed in 2 Bed 2 Bath and was in a convenient area for us with plenty of restaurants around. Apartments very clean. Our train into Edmonton was very late (12am)and the Canterra Suites had an onsite security guard who checked us in. Was a short walk to the Flixbus pick up for the next part of our trip.

I love everything these suites offer. Good kitchen. Clean bathroom. Comfy bed with great pillows. Lots of room. Warm parkade. Fireplace. Very quiet and cozy.

No hot water the first morning. Got the wrong room - but that worked out just fine in the end. We booked a double queen room with a fireplace, called to double check and make sure I booked the right one and was assured I had. When my hubby went to check in, it was the wrong room - it was lovely, but without a fireplace. Was eventually given a single bedroom with a queen and fireplace. Bit of a downgrade but only needed one bed anyway. The rest of our stay was very nice.

The suite is well equipped with a full kitchen, washing and drying machines. Two separate bedrooms with washrooms. Large living room with dining area. Good location downtown, lots of restaurants and services nearby

The rooms are not soundproof, it can get noisy at night with the car traffic. Noisy air conditioning.

Suite comfortable and very clean . Kitchen well stocked for basic cooking . Staff are very friendly and helpful. Area very convenient with grocery store close and River with park and walking trails two blocks away .

Busy traffic noise but not a huge issue .

The size of the suite, its location and how secure it is from wanderers

Pay to park, although that gives you peace of mind that your vehicle will not be tampered with.

Great location, very quiet and spacious.

Biggest downside was the we were planning on using the washer/dryer but it was pretty moldy and would have taken extensive cleaning just to use, so we didn't.
