Hyatt Place Edmonton-West
The room was clean & comfortable…a good size, I like when there is a sofa or sofa bed so there is somewhere to sit other than on the bed! Great front desk staff as well…we used pool and it was ok…some people with us also used the gym…it is small but adequate…overall it was good and we would stay ...
