For most travelers, Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) is the primary and most practical gateway, located directly in Saskatoon and handling a wide range of domestic flights with quick, affordable access to the city center via bus, taxi, or rideshare. It is the only airport within the city limits. In contrast, Prince Albert (Glass Field) Airport (YPA) serves the nearby city of Prince Albert, not Saskatoon. It is located significantly farther away—approximately 138 km—and serves primarily as a regional connection point. Traveling from YPA to Saskatoon requires significant extra planning, typically involving a long-distance bus or a pre-arranged private transfer, and should generally only be considered if flight availability or pricing for your specific destination makes it a necessary alternative. For the most efficient trip, prioritize YXE for its convenience and proximity to local transit and urban infrastructure, reserving YPA only for specific regional travel requirements.

Western-style breakfast, basically the same. No extra beds and free parking. When staying in Canada, except for Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, locations need to be considered. Other cities rarely need to consider location. Take Saskatoon as an example, passing through the city in ten minutes! !!FromUS$92

健身房，游泳池不錯，酒店比較新，還有一個3台的洗衣房，洗衣2元，烘乾2元，很好！酒店附近一個住宿區，再下去有一個公園，還不錯。酒店不知道哪裡的噪音，早上有，另外，早餐很豐富，但是冷的剝了殼的煮雞蛋不新鮮，後來反饋後，換了新的，不建議過夜雞蛋🥚FromUS$122

One of the few upscale hotels along the river in the main city area. The rooms are newly renovated with a minimalist style, and the view from the higher floors is quite nice. Saskatoon isn't a large city, and it's a 5-minute drive from the Remai Art Museum.FromUS$148

Friendly and if you have any trouble, you will respond properly if you consult. I take off my shoes at the entrance, but the corridors are sandy, and I think I would like you to do your best to clean them a little more if it is a Japanese sense.
There is a lot of traffic near the main road, and the footsteps of other guests and the sound of the TV can be heard as it is, so it is not recommended for those who are concerned about the sound.
It's like a price-worthy accommodation.FromUS$41

Ctrip looks at the pictures on the hotel, nearly a hundred years of hotel, there is historical precipitation, it is one of the landmark buildings in Satun. The room facilities are outdated, the air conditioning sound is too loud and not warm enough. Customer service is also very general. I am used to living in a new and spacious hotel in China, and the psychological gap is very large.Outstanding100 Reviews

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.FromUS$105

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.FromUS$103
