Coliseum Inn - Έντμοντον

It was great!!

We were in the city for a concert. We always stay at the Coliseum Inn as it's right across the street from the Coliseum. Very clean and convenient.

Stayed one night for the football game. Everything was satisfactory. Can't beat it for the price.

I was pleasantly surprised with the state of the hotel, given the neighborhood it is in. Newly renovated and nicely decorated and at an amazing price.. Unfortunately the people in the room beside mine were smoking cigarettes during my whole stay (although it is supposed to be a smoke-free hotel) and my room smelt of smoke. Otherwise, everything was pretty good. Breakfast could have had more options however.. the eggs were cold and didn't really taste like eggs atall. Cereal, bacon, coffee and muffins were about all the options. I really wish my neighbors hadn't been smoking because I would have rathered pay a bit more for a truly smoke-free hotel.

We booked at the Coliseum Inn because it was close to where we needed to get to for the weekend. It was clean but that was about where the good things stopped. The rooms are very dated and you can hear EVERYTHING through the walls. Even just a normal taking voice can be heard in the next room. Our in room phone had most of the buttons removed and did not work at all. The email I got after booking said there was a free breakfast. When we arrived we were told it is 3 dollars per person. Our first morning we paid the 3 dollars only to get up to the breakfast room to find there was no food left. Not even bread. It was half an hour before breakfast was supposed to be done. Luckily we got our money back for that and went elsewhere for breakfast. The front desk staff did not seem to care at all that there was nothing for us to eat. Finally, the morning we left we woke up to a strong odor of pot coming from a room around us. Now I understand that's pretty hard to control but obviously the ventilation is not very good because our whole floor smelled like it. I would be hard pressed to stay here again. It's cheaper and clean but that's about all it has going for it.
