Location was perfect - Downtown Saskatoon close to restaurants and shopping. The Senator is older (110years) but really well kept. It has a comfortable feel. Rich wood panelling and elaborate decorations; wide connecting hallways and upgraded rooms that retain their charm. The rooms are relatively quiet and generally unaffected by the old English Pub on the ground floor.

Hotel parking is at a premium. Around back and first come first served. There is parking out front but it is limited to a maximum of three hours Monday through Saturday. We found it easier to park in pay as you go lots that were close to the Hotel.

Room was nice and clean, the hotel has an antique look on inside kept in shape, could of had a better selection for breakfast. There is very little and tight parking, the good thing is, your in an area where you can just park the car and walk to all restaurants, mall, river, some clubs etc..

Very European. Old and beautiful. Comfy beds, spotless rooms. The pub downstairs (Winston’s) is excellent. Convenient downtown location. Great security too.

A few things could stand to be upgraded but hard to complain as everything worked and was so clean. **Note: if you have a room above the pub you will hear the bass. I asked to be moved and the gentleman at the front desk very graciously gave me a different room with no fuss. So either bring earplugs or request a room away from the pub.

After so many anonymous places, it is a joy to find a place with so much character! We especially enjoyed the wide corridors, the huge room with its high ceiling and its big windows overlooking the street, the overall decoration. It is ideally located in the middle of downtown, and we were able to walk to the Remai Modern Museum, to restaurants (even though the hotel offers a choice of two restaurants!) and to the Fringe Festival. The staff was pleasant and informative, and, even though we did not expect it, a simple continental breakfast was served in a charming octagonal room.

While we visited on Holiday days, we were lucky to have free parking on the street, the hotel parking at the back being a bit cramped

Staff were amazing. They were very friendly, courteous and accommodating, including pet friendly. They even answered our questions about the beautiful historical building and gave us a tour. The hotel building, rooms and decor were amazing. Like travelling back in time or visiting somewhere in old Europe. Its not just the architecture - the attention to detail in how all the furniture and art work was set up was clearly evident. I found the interior more impressive than say the much larger, pricier Delta Marriott down the street. There is also a very nice patio, breakfast room and restaurants directly accessible from the hotel downstairs.

Limited food options in the area later in the evening once the pub and restaurant close. Also you probably should be careful about what you leave in your car, though we had no problems.

Location (if you like to be in the heart of everything ) comfortable. It isn’t new but that is the charm of it. Has a medieval feel to it. Super homey tho. Nice bar and restaurant inside and as well another fancier steak house. I like it better than the steak at chop. I stay here every time I stay in the city now. Used to stay in the north end near all the hotels that way but I really like this place better. May not be as new and fancy but I feel more comfortable in this place.

Some bathrooms in the rooms are dated. Some are updated. It depends on the room you get. Can be loud and isn’t much parking.

History of hotel and artifacts...front desk person Dennis gave us a tour of rooms and basement brewery. He was very informative, knowledgeable and pleasant!! Easy access to attached pub. The outside terrace on 2nd floor we discovered ourselves. We met other hotel guests there and had a great time!

Upon arrival, pressed ringer to enter front entrance but no response, so had to enter thru pub which was awkward with luggage. Bathroom tub has no grab bar inside tub and rubber mat. This is dangerous for elderly people to access and feel safe entering and exiting tub. The toilet kept over running, had to lift lid to fix. The TV did not work (but we were ok without it)!

Staff Was friendly and helpful,The hotel was nostalgic to be at,The room was comfortable and clean and quiet.Winstons pub was excellent to sit and have a beer and play a Vlt

It was hard to find parking at the front of the hotel.Parking in the back was good but I did not like that I had to inconvenience the front desk to open up the gate.

Everything was as expected. Stayed there 13 years ago and it's still good.

Only issue was that I forgot to bring an outlet adapter for charging USB devices so I had to rely on only my lap[top. Many hotels have lamps with USB sockets or other USB chargers - would be nice to see Senator do something like that.

I like the building and the way it has been maintained - a very special place. He few small flaws are part of the charm.

I can’t think of anything I would feel needs to be improved. Some might have some criticisms about the street people and the noise from the bar at night, but, in my opinion, these are to be expected and, trying to correct those situations, rather than manage them, would lead to undesirable outcomes.
