Delta Hotels by Marriott Bessborough

The iconic Bessborough Hotel did not disappoint! Had a great sleep in the Queen beds with delicious sheets and pillows. Love the old timey vibe and furnishings that make this hotel stand out from more modern counterparts. It's a quiet location bordering green space and the river. Staff were very friendly and always smiling. I used the pool which was sparkling clean. The fitness center offered cardio and some weights as well as a weight machine. We had a river view room but the windows could have been cleaner to enhance the view. Parking was about $18/day and right next to the hotel in a small private lot. Easy walk to many restaurants and shops downtown, plus the extensive riverside parks. Definitely a good choice if staying in Saskatoon.

beautiful hotel in a scenic setting on the river. Walkability is A+! It's surrounded shops and restaurants and easy transportation to elsewhere. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the clientele kind and respectful. The architecture is breathtaking. I enjoyed the dining options. The staff was friendly and helpful on all fronts . Parking was secure and easy. Saskatoon is a cute place to visit and here you are right in the heart while comfortable and well cared for.

Very beautiful hotel!!
Wish I could have stayed there without the Covid stuff in place.
I'll stay there again if ever back in Saskatoon.

I've been in Saskatoon since Tuesday evening and my home away from home was the Delta Hotels Bessborough.

The room rate ranged from $169 to $199 a night (plus taxes). Parking was behind the hotel. There was valet parking but self-parking was cheaper at $15/night (which is what I did). WIFI was complimentary ... it wasn't overly speedy. My room had a mini fridge, which was great, but it smelled like French fries. There were a couple bottles of complimentary water, which I appreciated.

The first part of the week was warm but the temperatures shifted quickly to cold on Wednesday. I found I couldn't get my room warm ... the highest the thermostat would go was 24.5C but the room temperature never got above 21C.

The carpet was kind of bumpy and lumpy at the end of the bed. It should be lifted and pulled towards a wall to flatten it out. I found it strange that they would leave it like that.

I chose not to have my room serviced ... I could be rewarded in points for that or I could have trees planted in Alberta (I chose the trees).

There was a fitness room and pool but I didn't get a chance to use them.

The hotel is downtown and walkable to lots of restaurants, shopping, etc.

Though the building is beautiful and historic, I don't think I'd stay here again.

This hotel has lots of old-fashioned charm, especially on the outside of the building. The inside has been largely modernized. The hotel was quite expensive during the nights of my stay (just over $800 for two nights), but it was during a large event happening in the area. I also opted for a room with a view of the river, which was definitely worth it. We had breakfast one morning in the Garden Court Cafe, which was good. I also used the swimming pool, which allows users to do some lap swimming (I estimate the pool is about 12.5m in length) - at least if the pool is vacant, which luckily it was when I visited. The gym seems spacious and has a lot of equipment. It was also nice that the fitness amenities are available 24 hours per day. And all the staff was very friendly and helpful. Only real issue was that coffee supplies in the room were limited, and there was no coffee available in the lobby. Which makes it difficult for those who like to have more than 1 cup. However, the Garden Court Cafe was helpful in providing take-away cups of coffee after our breakfast. If you stay here, definitely make sure you take a walk along the river. There is a great paved trail just behind the hotel.

Hotel service has improved and my rating goes from 1-3. But the restaurant service is horrible

Waited 1hr to get our breakfast order regulars eggs
Benedict Zero reason for such a longe wait and totally unacceptable


My first and most assuredly my last stay at this so called 5 star property.

The individuals next door
Have done nothing but be extremely loud and disturbing to the point that we are unable to sleep.

It is now 12:45am. And nothing but profanity and constant noise.

The place is not worth $150 a night. This is the kind of.
Inconsiderate service one would expect from a value priced motel.

Was my first stay here most defiantly will be my last stay here.

If your wish is a peaceful nights sleep this is so not the place for you.

If you wish to sleep in the middle of a night club with profanity and excessively loud drunken fools slamming doors. This is the place for you.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 tonights due to it being in the heart of downtown as well as it being a Marriott Rewards property. The building itself is stunning and full of character as it was one of the original Canadian Pacific Railway hotels.

We stayed in their standard king city-view room. The room was small (due to the configuration of the heritage building), but looked updated with modern finishes. The bathroom was very tight as the door could almost touch the sink when you enter. Be also aware of the faucets as a murky brown water initially came out of the bathtub when we turned it on. I notified the front desk about the issue, but there lacked attention to my complaint as the agent merely said "it happens sometimes" and I received no follow-up for the rest of my stay.

Request your room to be away from the elevators! Our room was right by the elevator, and you can hear every single person passing by. This was especially unsettling as we stayed during a busy weekend with multiple weddings, so there were many people passing by and using the elevators that day, we could hear every conversation happening outside.

One perk we enjoyed at the Bessborough were the complimentary bike rentals. The bikes were a great way for us to explore the city as we didn't have a car.

Upon this experience, I would recommend paying the premium on my next visit to get a higher and more spacious room

Classy Hotel. Lots of character just like all Delta's and very similar to Fairmont's.
Clean friendly staff and good central location downtown by the river.

Great location but the building certainly needs some renovation. The lady at front desk was very pleasant, offered me the lounge access even though I had only a Gold status. The lounge was awesome with their food offering in the evenings. I'd rate the lounge 5 stars if not for the bit dated rooms, especially lack of vanity space in the bathroom.

I've stayed in some brilliant hotels in the past couple of years but this has to be up there with the best. Clean, modern and high class. The staff were pleasant and helpful throughout the duration of our stay, the room was magnificent and the views are incredible. If I'm ever popping back to Saskatoon then I'll definitely be staying here again.
