8/10
This is an older hotel and in an older neighbourhood of Edmonton. It’s not the suburbs and it’s not a resort.
However we would stay there again as we got a clean room for 2 nights and although there may have been lots of homeless and less ideal patrons of the games room and bar around outside, the staff took security seriously and were awesome.
The societal issues are everywhere and until the Alberta government deals with the root causes of the issues better and more effectively I suppose we will continue to see the challenges grow and get bigger. Cant blame the hotel owners and staff for that and if you want a fancy place to stay at then maybe this isn’t your first choice, but the homeless situation will still be there no matter how it’s hidden in the newer areas. Be streetwise and use common sense. Otherwise if you want a friendly and cost effective place to stay then this may be the place for you.
