There was nothing I didn't like. Given it's age and history the Hotel Senator is well worth a stay.

I loved this place. Full of atmosphere, neat features , quaint comfort and memories of a past era. Staff professional, natural and down to earth. Security is good. Clean and warm. Close to the river and the historical area. Only ate at Winstons and the food was very good.

This hotel is located in the worst part of Saskatoon. The parking situation is extremely limited, with only a few spaces for the whole hotel. But at least it is a gated parking lot, which is necessary. Drunks, transients, and drug users were all around the hotel, making tons of noise, trying to come into the hotel and harrassing us when we went outside. It took almost an hour for us to get checked in because of an issue with the debit/credit machine (as a general rule hotels only accept credit cards these days), which was frustrating because we arrived late and were already exhausted. Also the sink was not draining properly.

The room was huge and the beds comfortable. The decor around the hotel is unique and charming. We had a coffee maker and small fridge in our room. They welcomed us and my dog kindly. There is a nice pub where we had discounted drinks. When their ice machine wasn't working the staff at the front desk filled my thermal water bottles with ice. They were so kind.

The breakfast was small - maybe a toaster oven for bread would be something doable? And the bathrooms were small too - but still very nice.

The location was stellar, and the vintage feel of the place was great. The gated parking was suprising but amazing for the fact that it's downtown Saskatoon- and the staff were amazing about moving vehicles to help me leave when I needed. The walkability to venues was stellar also!

my lock wasn’t working so my room was unlocked a couple times before we noticed

The chair in the room had some decent stains on it. So that should really be cleaned up or replaced. Left the chair in the closet, didn’t want to look at it but it also was not needed. A breakfast of sorts was offered for free, muffins pastry oranges apples yogurt coffee tea orange and apple juice. But this isn’t replenished. Have to go down early for the best selection.

I really like this old hotel, there have been some nice changes made since my last visit. The room furniture maybe be missed matched but that adds to the charm.

Rooms are not the fanciest ever, and there was some noise from the pub until 1ish that you could hear if the window was open. Would be less if you stayed on the southside of the building, but the northside was very cool, even on a very hot day.

Location was great if you are staying downtown. Urban downtowns are what they are, so take that how you like, but the HS did a good job of providing security (locked parking and key-card entry to lobby, without seeming militant or unfriendly. The pub downstairs is great, and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

The area is not the best, and parts of the hotel's appliances have seen better days.

The hotel is quite charming, staff is friendly and effective, the pub is a big plus.

Being downtown can have its dark side due to the homeless and drug problems, but that’s everywhere now.

Very clean and comfortable.

Rooms & hallways dimly lit and carpet & furniture very very tired. Breakfast was disappointing, coffee, yoghurt & pastries, literally nothing else.

Beds super comfy, clean & tidy.

Very limited parking availability provided by hotel. The surrounding street parking is scarce. I had to wait until the evening to find street parking near the hotel for my large vehicle

Close to the Remai Art Gallery.

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.

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.

The toilet was running in the night, I didn't hear it but I guess my husband did. The connected pub, the service was poor, but the drinks and food were fine.

Front desk staff were great! Location is also a big factor, so nice to be downtown. We managed to utilize the parking at the hotel, so an added bonus.

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.

No good sound proof. I could hear everything clearly from the street outside to the people passing by my room door. I stayed there in the past in a room not facing the front of the building and it was nice though so I think next time I would just ask for a room in the back

Check in was slower with less experienced receptionist. The hotel parking lot was full (and fairly small) so we had to park on the street. Luckily, we only had to pay for 2 hours of street parking (till 6 pm) on a Saturday and then Sunday was "no charge" for street parking.

Beautiful and well maintained older building. Rooms are well kept with modern and up to date amenities. Reasonably quiet in building and on street. Outdoor patio on the 2nd floor. Good food in the hotel pub!

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.

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