Looks like the upgrading trend continues. Got upgraded from the studio I booked to a 1 bedroom suite. We stayed here 4 nights. The suite is large and functional, reasonably clean, and a really good deal for downtown Edmonton as it comes with free indoor parking. The view (we were on the 16th floor) was good. The daily maid service was excellent but I am not sure if that is due to the tip I left or not. Even though the price was reasonable, there are lots of places outside of downtown to stay in Edmonton so unless you have a reason to stay there, one might be better off further out. But this time, the fact that the Society of Arts in Healthcare conference was nearby tipped the balance.
I had to check in before getting access to the parkade via the alley in the back. Some care had to be taken to avoid scrapes going round the corners. It amused me a little that Hertz was in fact using this parkade. Somehow Hertz seems to have all these locations where they are just asking for damage to happen to their cars (like the Crowne Plaza Hotel car park in Ottawa for example).
The only complaint I have is that the small and purely functional hotel lobby smelled a bit like a greasy kitchen no doubt because the adjacent cafe served bacon and eggs (i.e. greasy breakfast) and chinese food (i.e. greasy lunch) from a kitchen that was not well ventilated enough. www.albertaplace.com www.societyartshealthcare.org
