“Holiday Inn Express & Suites provides practical access to the University of Saskatchewan, and the thoughtful additions, such as pet placards for rooms with animals, stood out to me. The free shuttle service to the university and nearby hospitals is invaluable for visitors; I also noted the indoor saltwater pool as a welcome amenity.
