Worst place to stay ever. Manager was amazing. But when I tried to check out she refused to give me my receipts for my rooms I paid for. And then threatened to call the police. Very unprofessional and should not be in customer service. Very rude and didn't know very much. Never stayed at a hotel were u could not get a receipt for ur stay. Never staying at this dump again

Upon checking into our room, found a few, small issues, which when told front desk about, were taken care of fast. Room was very clean, the mattress, though very comfortable, shows signs of needing to be replaced

Totally concur with previous 1 star reviews. Colonial is now a grade “F” dive that has shady and destitute looking people living there and lurking around. Colonial used to be a good, family motel years gone by, but it’s not even a shadow of its former status. After making our reservation, we phoned a couple of days in advance to see if we could check in early. Front desk staff said no problem. Then on arrival day, tried to check in 1 hour early and were told to come back at 3:00 pm, the regular check in time. Checked in at 3:00 pm and walked down hallway to room. Didn’t need to unlock door, as it was wide open and both beds were all ruffled and unmade! Housekeeping staff working in another room said they needed 5 more minutes to get our room ready. When room was supposedly ready, microwave oven was missing. Staff supplied one after we asked. Room didn’t look properly prepared and clean (and there was no fresh scent of cleaner), but we had to leave for several hours. Got back to room later that evening to settle down. Closer inspection at that point revealed very dirty floor. Next checked bed, lifted cover and found a curly hair on wrinkled sheets!!! Holy crap, the staff hadn’t changed the sheets!!! Had a sleeping bag in our vehicle, so brought that in room to sleep in, placed on top of second bed. Lost a lot of sleep, as we were awakened off and on for a couple of hours starting at 3:00 am with noise and commotion in hallway (drunk and loud talking, knocking on doors, doors banging shut, etc.). Shocked to find such a flea bag dump on 8th Street situated within a very good neighbourhood. Dives like this are to be expected on west side of Saskatoon, but certainly not on east side. People with nice houses across from Colonial must be aghast at what they have to look at now every day and the potential for crime. What a nightmare stay!! As seniors, this was -- hands down --- the worst motel/hotel experience ever!! At checkout next morning, tried to get a refund after explaining the nightmare details. Clerk was sheepish and said sorry, but he couldn’t do anything. What he then said took the cake: “Next time you come to stay, maybe the manager could work out some kind of discount.” Next time!!?? Not a snowball’s chance. Warning, loud and clear: DON’T STAY HERE!! In fact, don’t come anywhere near the place!! Period!!

The price is inexpensive but the stay is scary pick the sandman hotelfirst for a few bucks more. The hotel used to be good but I think has fallen on hard times. We will not be staying here again. The senator hotel downtown is a much better value, 8th st seems to be going downhill

Never ever again. Stains all over the bedding and carpet. Sketchy people everywhere. Just one big crack den. Was in the room for 5 minutes and went back to the front desk and was told I’d be refunded. It’s been a week and nothing. Called the manager and he is refusing to refund me.

My husband and I booked a room through their website for two nights in December. It was a web special for $87/night. I got an confirmation email of $193 total. When I checked in at 8pm I didn't think to look at the total amount since it was late and I was tired. They asked if I wanted to prepay and I said, sure. When we checked out two days later, I signed their invoice and noticed the total amount seemed high. When we got home I looked at the invoice it was $253 total and $114/night (web special). My husband ended up calling them and they were making excuses that this web special wasn't through their website and because I signed the invoice I wouldn't get my money back. So beware of when you book through their website and what you pay for when you check in. We've stayed here several times with no problems, but we won't be staying here anymore!

Spent a work week here for business. Spent the evenings listening to drug deals and many sexcapades next door. Met the detectives and had a lovely chat with them. They people then just moved down 5 rooms. Small business prevails! I never realized so many people are looking for uppers. $5 advertised meal voucher for attached restaurant, doesn't exist so don't believe the website. Asked for house keeping. They couldn't even put the toilet paper on the roll. While packing up early in the morning, we were robbed. Passport, money, wedding rings, 2 cigarette cartons, personal belongings. Spoke to front desk, shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond. All in all, awful hotel and location.

Even though this is an older motel it is maintained very well. Rooms are very clean and the beds were comfortable. Front desk staff was friendly. There are a couple restaurant near by so getting dinner is easy.
