Holiday Inn Express & Suites Edmonton Airport – Nisku, Alberta

We were lucky to unwind a week in Edmonton, Alberta where we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express – Edmonton International Airport which is just outside of the actual city in Nisku/Leduc. The hotel is easy to find and it’s right by the train tracks – which could be noisy when the train goes by.

The room was really large and offered a seating area. The suites are relatively quiet except when a train goes by. The train doesn’t go by too often which makes this a nice hotel for business or personal. There is also complimentary breakfast with the hotel.

In the event of not wanting to eat complimentary breakfast, or you missed it, or you just have something else in mind – this hotel is ideal as it offers both a mini fridge and microwave! You can do almost anything!

The bathrooms are quite standard as any other hotel bathroom – and they use really nice bathroom amenities. Bath and Body works was the brand of their choice which is a lovely brand and growing in popularity!

The beds are so comfortable and the pillows were plush yet firm. We had a great night sleep and wouldn’t mind returning to this hotel again! The hotel itself offers amenities like dining, and pool & hot tub. Unfortunately during our stay, the hot tub was down and I was going to use it to soak the stress for the week away.

The video shows the room walk through – which was a fantastic room!

Executive Royal Inn – Leduc Nisku, Alberta

We got to stay at the Executive Royal Inn hotel in Leduc, Alberta which is just right outside of Edmonton – close to the Edmonton International Airport. We checked in quite late but we were lucky that the hotel was easy to find. It’s actually the hotel that says “INN” everywhere on it!

Once we checked into the room, it was really welcoming and the room was spacious and clean. The room offered basic amenities. This room has a nice LCD TV and a desk area for business workers.

The bed was a giant comfortable bed with really tall pillows! They were fluffy but they were firm! We did have a very restful sleep at the end so we were pleased!

The bathroom was quite nice as well – although it was weird the toilet seat was lifted when we got there. Most of the time when we check into a hotel, the cover is down. It was just a strange detail that caught my attention after doing the walk through. Like a lot of hotels out there, this one uses the luxiourious Bath and Body works amenities which I really like!

Our overall stay was good! Check in took a long time even though there was only 1 party ahead of us and 2 check-in agents. The bar service was really slow as well, but I’m staring to think it must be the atmosphere in this hotel. We did hear and see the train go by from our window but it wasn’t too bad!

Sutton Place Hotel – Edmonton, Alberta

During one of our stays in Edmonton, Alberta, we got to stay at The Sutton Place hotel in downtown Edmonton. The main entrance was a little confusing at first as it looked like it was the entrance to their restaurant – but it really was the front door.

We got checked into our room and we were on the top floor – which was pretty high on the 26th floor. The room itself was quite nice and the pool was a set of stairs right across the from elevators. Although I didn’t go and enjoy this pool, it was a quite a spectacular looking one!

The room was quite spacious and make it a comfortable stay. It offered your basic hotel amenities and that’s really all we ever ask for when we stay anywhere!

Our room had a large comfortable bed. It was really a good bed but there was some motor or something that made pumping noises throughout the night. I’m not sure if it’s from the elevator or from the pool above but it was loud and distracting.

The bathroom was pretty standard as well. Lots of counter top space and quite a large tub – even though we used the shower. The bathroom amenities were very nice as well.

Overall, the location of the hotel was really nice and the price was right. However, due to the noise level in the room – I got absolutely no sleep. I’m sure other rooms further down the hallway or on other levels won’t be so bad. Self parking costs just over $30/night as well, and it’s in an underground parkade. That elevator doesn’t even take you to the main lobby either, so it’s a little bit of a hike.

Radisson Hotel and Suites – Fort McMurray, Alberta

We made it to Fort McMurray for an Oil Sands tour and so we decided we’d stay the night at the Radisson Hotel & Suites after the tour. It was a fantastic package that we got with this offer with the Oil Sands tour and the Marine Museum with the night stay here!

This city is definitely mostly workers in the oil sands but it was pretty neat as the culture here is quite different from any other. The room that we got to stay in was very nice! It had a nice King sized bed and of course, it was a sleep number bed which is perfect for my husband and I. We like different firmness of bed so this was wonderful!

The actual room itself was very spacious and the feel of the hotel was really new and clean. It had a desk area as well as a seating area which I didn’t take a picture of but you can see it on the clip below. The bathroom was quite spacious and although the tub was standard, it almost felt like an oversized one.

Overall stay here was fantastic. The front desk staff was friendly, the restaurant was delicious and the staff there was also great.

Delta Lodge at Kananaskis – Kananaskis Village, Alberta

We’ve been by Kananaskis a few times already and we’ve always wanted to stay here. So many years later, we finally did get a chance to book a stay at the Delta Lodges at Kananaskis which was a fantastic resort in the middle of no where!

We checked into our room and was pleasantly surprised it was still a nice lodge feeling hotel (which it totally should be)! We actually got a Premier Room which has 2 queen beds and a balcony. The balcony was really nice as you can step out to the wilderness and it feels like you’ll see animals walk by while you’re out there.

The room itself was quite spacious especially for the 2 of us, and we spent our time outside or downstairs as we were celebrating my husbands birthday on this trip. On a side note, the Fireweed Grill was an excellent place to dine. The waitress was unbelievable and she didn’t even know it was for a special occasion! I’m sure if she did know, she would have made it extra special!

The beds were quite comfortable, but we were also quite tired as we made it in from Fort McMurray that same day – which was a long drive. The beds are quite tall and the pillows were perfect!

This room was pretty special, it had a little side sink outside of the bathroom and it had a little station with a kettle, and coffee maker – which is a good idea for families staying here so that if someone is in the bathroom, there’s still a sink you can use! The bathroom itself was quite standard, but at least there wasn’t really anything to complain about. It’s nothing to rave about either – so it’s a bathroom!

The overall stay was awesome, the hospitality was wonderful and it was memorable. I will stay here again as it was a nice getaway and it was remote! The experience was memorable.
