Anonymous User: The Friday night that we got there, the hot tub wasn't super hot, it was luke warm. Kids also brought garbage into the pool room and it was on the floor. Other than that the room we stayed in was good, except the doors were kinda tricky to close. The front staff fixed our key cards with no issues

Birdie13: We ordered room service and it never came to the room, after an hour or so we had to go to the lobby and ask, just an accident. But we confirmed the room number 3 times on the phone, and ate cold food which was a little disappointing for room service prices.

Anonymous User: The room was spacious and hygienic, and there was a small pool and slide on the first floor. Unfortunately, we didn't bring a swimsuit. Breakfast is good, free coffee and hot water supply in the lobby. I feel that the toothbrushing cups, coffee cups with lids, bedding, shower gel shampoo hand sanitizer in the room are all very useful, indicating that the selection of this hotel chain is attentive.

ZHIYONG: Hotel location is slightly biased, but you can also walk to commercial areas such as Midtown. The room is new, super large and the heating is super sufficient. The microwave oven, refrigerator, coffee machine are all available. The hygiene is also very good. Breakfast is the consistent standard of Holiday inn express. It is no problem to eat well, but it is the same thing to eat well. The breakfast in the restaurant can be packed and very user-friendly. I talked with the front desk when I checked out. I was the only Chinese staying in the hotel in recent years.

Guest User: Hotel is nice, I would stay here again. On the surface it looks very nice and modern and clean, but if you look closer you can see that the construction/upgrade work was cheap and not done properly. For example, the door in the bathroom looks very nice but if you look closer it is not flush with the wall, and the latch is actually sticking out very far from the frame in order for the door to line up with it because it is so crooked. Not a huge deal to me, but for the money I’d want it to be a bit more well done. We did the “lil romance” package as well which was nice but not worth the money. We got a bottle of champagne, a cheesecake slice and some roses in the room, as well as a free breakfast from the restaurant which was all nice, but not for the price that it is. The food was ~20 each, and I could have brought a cheaper bottle of champagne myself which would have done the job just fine. Overall it was good, but I wouldn’t do it again.

The Prairies | Vast Fields. 🇨🇦🌾 CANADA ZONE 04 — THE PRAIRIES The Prairies | Vast Open Fields, Lakes, and the Rocky Mountains If you want to experience Canada’s most expansive, horizon-to-horizon views 🌾, you have to visit the Prairies. This region encompasses Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta—offering everything from vibrant cities and rolling grasslands to pristine lakes and the majestic Rocky Mountains 🏔️. 🏔️ Alberta The crown jewels of this zone are Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. With jagged peaks, turquoise lakes, glaciers, and abundant wildlife, the scenery is straight off a postcard. Banff is Canada’s very first national park and is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 🌾 Saskatchewan While many associate it only with wheat fields, this province is actually home to countless lakes and forests. Highlights include Grasslands National Park, which features rugged Badlands terrain and some of the best stargazing skies in the world ✨. 🌲 Manitoba Manitoba offers the charm of Winnipeg, vast lakes, and lush northern wilderness. Churchill is world-renowned as one of the best spots for seasonal Polar Bear watching 🐻❄️. 🚗 Getting Around If you’re focusing on Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper, renting a car is the way to go since the best viewpoints and natural wonders are spread out along the route. Saskatchewan is also perfect for a road trip, with wide-open roads connecting cities and attractions. 💰 Costs Many natural sites have both free access points and areas requiring a fee. National parks like Banff charge an entry fee. Specific activities—such as gondola rides, boat tours, or wildlife excursions—carry separate costs. 🌤️ Best Time to Visit ☀️ June–August — Ideal for hiking, road trips, and lake activities. 🍁 September–Early October — Perfect for fall foliage and crisp, cool weather. ❄️ November–March — The season for skiing, snowshoeing, and winter sports. 🌌 Late Fall–Winter — The best chance to catch the Northern Lights in northern regions. 💡 Tips: The Prairies are massive! Don't try to cram Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta into a single short trip 😅. If you're short on time, start with Alberta—it allows you to experience the Rocky Mountains, address Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper all in one route. ✨ The Prairies represent Canada’s sense of true grandeur. From endless golden fields 🌾 to towering peaks and turquoise waters 🏔️—this is a bucket-list destination for every nature lover 🇨🇦.
#easytravelpost Prince Albert NP is 2 h 15 m from Saskatoon, gate at Waskesiu. Day entry CAD 10/adult (youth 17-and-under free, Canada Strong Pass makes it free Jun 19–Sep 7 2026), backcountry CAD 15/person/night, first-come-first-served at the Visitor Centre (no online for Grey Owl sites). The trailhead is 32.5 km down Kingsmere Road; alternatively a rail portage + paddle across Kingsmere Lake cuts the walk. I drove from Saskatoon at 06:00, paid CAD 10 at the gate, parked at the Kingsmere trailhead 08:20, and hiked the 19.9 km one-way to Grey Owl's cabin (Ajawaan Lake) — 10–12 hrs round-trip, I did it as a 2-day with a CAD 15 camp at Chipewyan Portage (6.7 km in). The moss is the boreal section: Pleurozium on the spruce-root bogs 3 cm thick, 14°C in June, a raven working the lakeshore, the Kingsmere water tea-brown. Sandy beaches at km 4 and km 9 are lunch spots; the cabin itself is a log museum with Grey Owl's beaver-pond story. I ate a CAD 9 Waskesiu bakery bun, filtered lake water at Chipewyan. Mistake: I hiked it as a single day in August — 11 hrs, light failed at km 17 on the return; do the 2-day or take the boat portage. Another: the CAD 10 gate fee and CAD 15 backcountry are separate tills; carry 25 CAD cash. Would you pay CAD 10+15 for the 2-day Grey Owl boreal-moss hike to Ajawaan cabin, or skip the full 40 km and do the 13 km day-hike to Chipewyan Portage only?
If you want to deeply experience Canada’s “breadbasket,” the classic choice is the Prairie Provinces: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These three provinces produce most of Canada’s wheat, canola, oats, barley, and flaxseed, with Saskatchewan being a major global producer of canola and wheat. In the 1960s, China imported wheat from Canada in a significant government collaboration led by Premier Zhou Enlai. Canadian Agriculture Minister Hamilton overcame opposition, even threatening to resign, to persuade Prime Minister Diefenbaker to finalize the first long-term trade agreement on April 22, 1961. The Canadian government guaranteed the loan, allowing China to pay in installments and solve its foreign exchange shortage. Driving along the Trans-Canada Highway, you’ll see endless golden wheat fields, blue skies, white clouds, windmills, grain elevators, and combines forming a magnificent landscape.

Stepping into Bon Temps Café in downtown Saskatoon feels like stumbling through a portal directly into the heart of New Orleans. My "trip" here wasn't just a meal; it was a rhythmic, soul-warming escape into the deep South, right in the middle of the Canadian prairies. · The Vibe: The moment you walk in, the "magic" hits. Dim amber lighting, vintage jazz posters, and exposed brick create an atmosphere that is thick with mystery and history. It feels like a secret club where the 1920s never ended. · The Culinary Journey: My taste buds went on a pilgrimage. I started with the Alligator Bites—tender and perfectly seasoned—followed by a massive bowl of Seafood Gumbo. The depth of the roux was incredible; you can taste the hours of slow-cooking in every spoonful. · The Sweet Finale: You cannot leave without the Beignets. Covered in a mountain of powdered sugar, they were fluffy, warm, and paired perfectly with a chicory coffee. It felt like a warm hug on a cold Saskatchewan night.

Stepping into the Museum of Natural Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan felt less like entering a building and more like falling through a portal into Earth’s deepest secrets. Located in the heart of the Saskatoon campus, this "hidden gem" is a vibrant, living library of our planet’s evolution. The Experience: Where History Breathes The magic begins in the central atrium, where life-sized dinosaur skeleton replicas—including a towering T-Rex—loom over lush greenery. I found myself wandering from the ancient echoes of the Cretaceous period into a serene, modern-day oasis featuring a waterfall pond filled with vibrant koi fish. The mix of prehistoric fossils, sparkling mineral galleries, and live animals makes the transition between eons feel seamless and enchanting. Important Things You Must Know: · Admission: Remarkably, this world-class experience is FREE. It operates on a drop-in basis, so no tickets are required. · Location: 114 Science Place, Saskatoon (Geology Building). It's easily accessible by transit or campus parking. · The "Living" Exhibits: Don't miss the live animal enclosures and the Beamish Conservatory, which showcases exotic plants and a tranquil atmosphere. · Tyndall Stone Secrets: Look closely at the walls and benches; they are made of Tyndall Stone, which is naturally embedded with 450-million-year-old fossils you can touch! · Hours: Open Mon–Fri (8 AM – 9 PM) and weekends (10 AM – 5 PM). Note: Animals rest in the evening, so some lights may be dimmed. · Visit Duration: Budget about 45–90 minutes to soak everything in without rushing. #canadatrip
Stepping into Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatchewan feels like crossing a threshold into another era. This sacred "sanctuary" (the Cree meaning of its name) is a 6,000-year-old gathering place where the earth itself tells stories of the Northern Plains peoples. The Magical Experience My visit was transformative. Walking the 7 km of trails through the Opimihaw Creek valley, I felt a profound stillness. Standing before the Medicine Wheel—one of the few left in North America—there is a palpable energy of ancient wisdom. The highlight was witnessing the Bison Herd; seeing these majestic creatures roam their ancestral lands again is a powerful symbol of cultural resilience and healing. Important Things to Know · Cultural Immersion: Don't miss the traditional dance performances and Tipi teachings. They offer a deep understanding of Indigenous connection to the land. · Archaeology: It is Canada's longest-running dig. You can see active sites where artifacts older than the pyramids have been found. · Modern Flavors: Visit the on-site restaurant for Indigenous cuisine with a modern twist—the bison burgers and muskeg tea are exceptional. · Plan Ahead: Located just 5 minutes north of Saskatoon, it’s an easy trip. Allow at least 3-4 hours to truly soak in the atmosphere. · UNESCO Path: As a tentative UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s a world-class destination that remains remarkably intimate. #canadatrip
