Best Western Plus Hotel Sawridge Suites, Fort Mcmurray

Never expected that a Best Western in - Ft. McMurray - would achieve an outstanding rating from me. Have travelled all over the world and was visiting family in Ft. McMurray. The hotel: room comfort, service, restaurant - were all excellent. I recommend it to anyone staying in Ft. M. Good Job - Best Western Plus.

I stay in a lot of hotels around the country and have to say this one ranks right at the top of them all. Super friendly staff. Super clean rooms. Wonderful breakfast. Good parking. It would be nice though if you carried Fox News though.

Mr. Jones and the staff at the Best Western are welcoming, professional and genuinely care about the quality of your experience. The property is impeccably maintained, inside and out - and not just incredibly clean, but thoughtful additions like mums and pumpkins at the lobby entrance. We stayed in a suite, complete with a mountain of pillow options, an enormous walk in shower and laundry machines (!) - all the comforts of home! The on-site convenience store and restaurant are perfect for quick snacks or a relaxed meal. The staff had been alerted that we were celebrating a special occasion and went out of their way to add little touches that really made our stay memorable. Thank you again; we look forward to finding a reason to return!

I highly recommend staying here. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I usually stay in a queen suite as it has all the amenities that I require..huge showers, kitchenette and in room laundry. I've stayed in various places and hotels while away for business/work but this is by far the best in fort Mac. The location is perfect for both the close proximity to businesses in town and ease of access to make the drive up to site.

Are we perfect, absolutely not, but we genuinely want to grow and I can assure you that we take every detail in that feedback and we work on making it better as a team. I agree 100 % that our Suites with the in room washer and dryer really are perfect for any guest who is on the road day after day for business.

Stayed at this hotel multiple times and the staff and rooms are always fantastic. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Fort McMurray. Underground parking is a huge plus, even in September (It is SNOWING!) Looking forward to my next stay.

Excellent property with highly efficient and friendly staff. Really impressed with the size of room. It's a modern facility with a concept of home away from home. It provides you an opportunity to create your temporary home with an option to use their nice restaurant and bar.

This property offers comfortable rooms, wonderful dining and fitness amenities. If there is a downside to this property it might be that it is located in a business park so there are not walkable amenities.

Thus far, I have stayed at the Quality Inn (very retro, inexpensive and breakfast buffet B), Microtel (new, nice digs, breakfast buffet C+), Merrit (good for the price, no breakfast included, Failure), the Radisson (very nice rooms, breakfast okay C-) and Best Western (nice comfy rooms, kitchenette, nice amenities, a bit out of town, so quiet, and their food, fantastic A++).

Hotel is outside the city which is nice, when you leave the parking lot sometimes you get turned around as it is in an industrial type area. It's quiet, clean and very accommodating staff. Friendly Service.

Enjoyed my stay at BW plus in Fort McMurray. The hotel appearance was pleasant, they keep the entrance very clean despite all the mud, etc. from many folks coming and going. Excellent breakfast, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. A little away from amenities and in a small industrial park but quiet location. A little pricey but it is FM!

The physicalities of a hotel stay are of course very important. What is also very important is the staff. When the staff treat you like long separated and missed family it alleviates the distance from your home and makes the stay that much sweeter. All of that staff that I have had personal encounters with were of this cut and very sincere. I have been forced to stay at other hotels in the Fort McMurray area (because the BW was full) and found everyone to be bereft of this quality. You all have very high emotional intelligence. A critical and very rare fudamental component to a successful business. Especially in the hospitality industry. I shall remain a loyal patron and refer this statement to any that will listen.

From the time that we checked in this hotel is amazing. Polite and courteous staff at check in, (customer service is huge for us),our suite is exceptional for cleanliness, nice and quiet even though it is next to the highway. Amenities are very good. Food in the restaurant was tasty and a good selection for picky eaters. The breakfast buffet is included in your room rate, was very good, nice wait staff all round. Perfect spot and if given the chance we would stay here again and will be recommending it to our travel agent that selected our hotel for us.

I stayed at this property for the first time and loved it. The front desk ladies, cleaners I met in the hallways and the servers in the restaurant were all so friendly and welcoming. I really felt like they cared about not just how my stay was going but how I was in general. It is rare to find that level of genuine care these days. I also have to mention how clean everything was. This is "oil country" but you would never know it entering this hotel. Thank you for such a great couple of nights.

Good Morning 414av, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. We really do appreciate the great comments and we will share them with our team. We agree 100% on our location, it is very quiet and allows our guests the opportunity to relax after working or spending a long day travelling. Lunches to go are important to folks who work long days while they are in the city and we have that covered for you - make your lunch selection by 9:00pm the night before and it will be ready to go at the time you specify. If you arrive later you can always choose from sandwiches and wraps or full meals and beverages in our 24 Outpost Market. At the end of the day we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and it makes us happy to know that you would recommend us to your family and friends. We look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This hotel was recommended by a colleague. I was very unexcited as my experiment with Best Western's has been poor. Much to my surprise, this hotel was fantastic! My room (suite) was enormous, clean, modern and comfortable! It had a nearly full size kitchen that had everything you would need - great to have for those here working and don't want to eat out every meal. Very comfortable bed and a nice leather lounge chair with ottoman to work or watch tv. The full breakfast buffet in the restaurant was wonderful. Anything you could want and really good. The pantry store not only had the essentials (snacks, drinks, etc) but also pre-prepared salads, sandwiches, entrees, desserts, and freshly popped popcorn. I ordered a burger from room service one night and it was delicious. Staff was very friendly! This was a great place to stay while in town on business for the week. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and wish all of the other hotels I stay while on business travel lived up to this Best Western!

This location is relatively new so the level of cleanliness and upkeep is pristine. Service is very attentive and courteous. Located on the north end of Ft McMurray shortly after leaving town, there is no heavy traffic and soundproofing was taken into account during construction making the rooms and common areas very quiet.

The reason for my stay was to visit my husband on his birthday. The front desk heard that I was there for a birthday and delivered a piece of cake and a card to our room. The staff is very helpful and was great to talk too.

I stayed here overnight on a business trip. It's in the industrial area but it's quite quick to get into downtown from here. The hotel is fairly large and the greeting at reception was really quick and staff was so nice. The room had a king size bed that had to be one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in and I really contemplated sneaking one of the pillows out with me when I left because they're so comfortable. They have these really cool blackout roll down shades on the window that made the room super dark exactly as I like it so that was a great touch! The room had a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, sink, dishes and even a small dishwasher. Breakfast (hot buffet) is included but because I was in a rush in the morning I just asked if it was possible to grab a coffee to go and they told me I could help myself to a complimentary coffee and a sandwich from the little “store” right by reception seeing as I wouldn't be stopping for the breakfast. The hotel is a bit pricey but totally average for Ft. Mac. I would definitely stay here again.

We will take your review along with all of our social media pieces and share them with our entire team as a learning tool to show what is working and what requires a little more polish. The fact that you will stay with us again on your next trip to Fort McMurray is greatly appreciated. Just to share with you for your future visit, if you are leaving early before our complimentary hot and cold breakfast buffet starts - you have the options of grabbing a hot breakfast sandwich and coffee from the Outpost Market or you can also order from our breakfast selections to go if you preorder the night before.

A wonderful clean new hotel. Very welcoming and friendly staff (Keirsten) was thorough, informative and kind. Got to check in early, which I appreciated immensely because I had an early flight. Room is beautiful, spacious and smells amazing. 6 pillows...yay, and a comfy bed. Exercise room is great, only downfall, steam room being deep cleaned so out of service. Will definitely recommend!

I've stayed at the old Sawridge hotel in Fort McMurray for at least 30 years, perhaps longer. This hotel is its replacement and it carries the Best Western brand. Its location is a bit outside the downtown, but it has its own restaurant and is in a fairly quiet location. The hotel is relatively new (a couple of years) and in good shape. The rooms are spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and the WiFi pretty fast. The exercise room is standard but in good shape. If you are looking for a good place in Fort McMurray, this is it, and the value is quite reasonable.

Good Morning Clogger-12345, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate the review and we will share it with our team. I wanted to let you know that every guest room is a fully stocked Suite and they do contain all of the untensils and cutlery required. Your review made me curious so we doubled checked each and every room to ensure that the cutlery and utensils were still there and they were. Sometimes if the drawer is pushed back too far it is a little tough to see the drawer but I can assure you that it is there. We don't provide dish towels as every guest room has a dishwasher. Hopefully on your next visit we can turn that score of 4 in to a 5. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R.

For Easter, my 93 year old Mom and I went to visit my daughter in Fort McMurray and this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way! Everyone without exception was friendly, helpful and so welcoming including reception, housekeeping and the various serving staff. The rooms were excellent, large and comfortable with all the extras.....even a chocolate bunny delivered to each room on Easter morning! What a delight. We felt like part of the "Fort McMurray family."

Gail at the front desk is amazing! She sent me a text message a short while after I checked in to make sure that everything was good, and it was. It was great. My room was exceptionally clean, the bed made with military exactness, the sheets bleach white and looked as if they had just been brought in from the sun. Reminded me of the time I was in Fukuoka, Japan, where every bush was neatly trimmed, every street shining black asphalt as if it had rained the night before, and where men wore fitted suits and women classy skirts, contoured shirts, and colourful silk scarves tied around their necks.

I had to go to Ft.Mac the other day and needed a place for the night. Where I usually stay had burnt down and I was not sure where to stay so I thought I would try this place. Very glad I did as this hotel is among the nicest hotel I have had the opportunity to stay at. There is ample parking for large trucks, a very welcoming front staff, restaurant and lounge. The food is pretty darn good too! The most important thing is the room. The room I stayed in was straight out of a high end 5 star hotel. The room was gorgeous to say the least, Very high end, classy and so tastefully done. I will definitely be staying there again and again and ....

Stayed here while in Fort McMurray on business. Rooms are large and clean. My room had a full kitchenette, huge shower and desk space if needed. Breakfast was included with the stay. It was a full hot breakfast buffet. Eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles, fruit and the list goes on. It was delicious. Customer service was exceptional. Shortly after getting to my room I received a text asking if everything was okay. I had a request for a extra and it was delivered in minutes. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

I got the room for like $87 through some kind of online deal. The room was massive with a full Kitchenette. It was classy and misery and had a huge open space. Stand up shower instead of a tub. The staff were amazingly friendly and answered all my questions. They even followed up to make sure my stay was meeting my expectations. Phenomenal staff with a fantastic attitude.

Location was quiet and i like that. Rooms were really big, comfortable and lots of space to spread out. I enjoyed the restaurant - the buffet dinners were very good. Honestly this is the best breakfast of any hotel that I have stayed at and it was free Underground parking when it was minus 20 was appreciated. The staff here are really really great - very friendly and can not do enough to assist. I am appreciative of the little extras they do to make our stay a positive one.

We stayed at the hotel over the Alberta Winter Games weekend and could not have asked for a better hotel! We were greeted personally on arrival by a member of staff and check in was quick. The room was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The included breakfast was fabulous with a good variety of food to choose from. The only negative for us was the location as it was quite a way from the town but otherwise an excellent choice!

We appreciate the outstanding review and we will share that review with our entire time. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us during the Alberta Winter Games. We tried to get everyone checked in quickly after the drive up to Fort McMurray - we wanted all of our guests to be able to relax before the opening ceremonies.

We agree 100% that our complimentary hot and cold breakfast buffet is one of the best in the industry.

We were in Fort McMurray For the Winter Games, we have never travelled that far North but we enjoyed every minute of our visit. The hotel is clearly not set up for families with only one bed but they had suites that had pull out sofas. More importantly to us was how our daughter was treated from the conversation at check in to the rice krispie squares in the kids club along with beverages and games she actually thought she was a VIP and kept asking if I was treated the same way when I travel and I had to laugh. Everyone in Fort McMurray treated us like they appreciated us coming and that they appreciated our business.

We made sure that based on individual reservations, extra towels and amenities were added so that the families staying with us felt welcomed.

Enjoyed every minute of our stay in Fort McMurray We felt totally looked after and the service was really great and was much more than what we had expected given the stories we had heard The room was large and lots of room to spread out and get some work done while we were here My son totally loved the Kids Club that provided beverages and snacks and games all weekend long - especially the movie popcorn Breakfast was the best I have experienced at any hotel especially given how busy it was there every morning. My family appreciated the staff most of all !!!

Have stayed here numerous time - first time I have ever reviewed a hotel, should have started long ago - when you get great service it should be recognized From check in to the end of my stay everyone goes out of their way to say good morning or hello - it makes you feel good when you are away from home. The bar staff are always professional and helpful The breakfast is something that just can't be beat - there is not a hotel in Fort McMurray that even comes close to providing the breakfast offered here I happened to be there last week as they rolled out the new menu for more options and the shrimp alfredo was outstanding !! Keep up the great work, I will be back in about a month.

Such a great and unexpected hotel in Fort McMurray. I stayed here for 2 nights while work was done in my home and all the staff were so amazing. They really cared that I felt comfortable and welcome.

Hotel was a great choice - very clean and staff that really go out of their way to make sure that you had a good experience. Have been coming to the City for years and the service levels at the Best Western would be top notch for any City in Canada !! Great location which eliminates travel time if you are heading out to site but within a couple of minutes you can be in Thickwood or Timberlea and many dining options. Will be back for sure !!

My family always enjoyings coming here for the most important meal of the day! The selection of fresh fruit always has lots of options. Then there is yogurt, granola, oatmeal with all the fixings, fresh smoothies and tons of hot fresh entrees. We love the made fresh to order omelettes options and the fresh waffles that the kids get to press their own complete with a small heart in the centre isnpretty cute - not to mention the endless options to top them with. The restaurant is super clean and new and the staff are always smiling and happy to see you.

We didn't stay at the hotel as we are from Fort McMurray, we didn't even know you could eat at the hotel! Breakfast buffet is so amazing live cooking stations (Omelettes, eggs however you want then and French toast or pancakes!!) Everyone is so friendly!!! We have also been for dinner buffet which is absolutely amazing as well.. and what a great price $24.95 to have full range of the salad bar and so many delicious options! We will definitely be back, so good!

This hotel is exceptional. The staff is great and the hotel is in excellent condition. I especially liked the underground parking because it was extremely cold during my visit. The food is good. I had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The portion sizes exceeded my expectations and the quality of the meals were great.

I stayed at this hotel over the Christmas holidays and was very impressed with the service of the front desk team and the evening managers. The 24 hour market had lots of wonderful dinner selections to choose from including roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The best part of our stay, after we came back from visiting relatives, there were Christmas Stockings in our room filled with chocolates and candy! They truly did go above and beyond and made us feel at home!

This hotel is the only reason that I would ever stay over night in Ft. McMurray. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were great and comfortable, the parking was great!!! In door underground with windshield wash station!! The menu at the bar for food was ok, but that's what bar food is! Go for the nachos, you deserve them!! Stay there, or regret not staying there.

Had a great 4 night stay on a business trip at this new hotel just north of Fort McMurray. Well appointed rooms (good bed, nice walk in shower, complete kitchenette are just some of the features). Lack of temp control in room. Really appreciated the quality breakfast and dinner buffets with lots of choice. Compliments to the cook.

We stayed at the hotel because we had our pet and they were the first to come up on google.While waiting for my wife and son I decided to have a quick beer at the lounge. The bartender was very nice told me to take a seat and brought over my beer . Asked if i wanted a second then after that brought over the During the check in they were very helpful and even gave our dog and son a little gift bag.After we were checked in and got to the room we noticed that that our phone charger was broken. I went down to purchase one but they did not have my kind in stock, The very nice lady let me borrow one for the night free of charge.

I hadn't intended to stay over in Fort McMurray but the weather turned a little nasty so I thought it best to find a hotel and stay the night. As I was driving I spotted the Best Western and decided to give it a try. The room clean and very comfortable. The staff were efficient and very friendly. Very good value.

I was in Fort McMurray for a week on business and have stayed in other hotels. One of our team members had stayed here and recommended the hotel to me. It is important that I work remotely on the internet which was perfect here. I have challenges in the past at other hotels. The included breakfast was the best I have ever had and what a fantastic way to start your day with fresh made omelets, fresh fruit, breakfast meats. The staff was so nice the only place I can compare is the customer service you receive in Vegas :)

By far the best place to stay in Fort Mcmurray. Clean and modern rooms. Actual breakfast and not microwaved eggs and stale muffins. Drive past all of the bargain basement hotels that are typical in this town. Staff is great and actually speak clear English.

Excellent hotel,clean,spacious.....very comfortable.Hotel is located north of town,the most near hotel to the oil sand sites.I always stay at this hotel when in Fort McMurray....Staff are very friendly,and the breakfast is very good

The staff here are just fantastic. Refreshing to see such a happy place full of positiveness Rooms are spacious and well equipped The buffet breakfast and dinners are set out in smaller portions than the big tubs you would normally see. This ensures freshness and is topped up whenever needed. And with great chefs the quality is fantastic

The hotel is very clean and the rooms are exceptional, a lot of room, equipment was new and of quality. Having sitting and sleeping areas within was a surprise for the standard room. Fitness center has enough units but I think the temperature was not set properly for winter. (it was too cold) As for the machines in the gym (stand bicycles, treadmills and weigh station + kinetics) they were of quality and in very good condition. Food was decent but more than enough for the breakfast. If I go back to MacMurray and I staying there 100% again Overall it was a pleasant location.

This hotel is off on it's own about 10 minutes from downtown. It is well maintained and the complementary breakfast is prepared well with plenty of variety. Rooms are large and if you wanted to you could get food and prepare in your suite. Be warned that hotel rates are very high in Fort McMurray.

This is a new hotel in the north eastern part of the city. It is located in a light industrial area, which ensures quiet sleep in the evenings or on the weekends. The hotel is exceptionally clean (rooms, lobby, lounge). The staff is friendly and helpful. These seem to know what they are doing (possibly from more experienced staff?. The price (in our case) included breakfast and is a bargain.

The room was very clean with a mini kitchen which was great. The bathroom was extremely clean and large. Had a really great nights sleep. All the staff were upbeat and friendly. Good food and very creative for Halloween, with Halloween themed food. It was nice touch to receive Halloween goodies in the room at night. I very much enjoyed the bagged lunch and breakfast. Would highly recommend this hotel.

This was a really amazing hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The rooms were SPOTLESS. One of our travelling mates actually made a comment that it seemed like no one stayed in that room before. Not a hair could be found anywhere. Since this was one of best lit hotel rooms ever, you would be able to see it easily. The shower and bathroom were spacious. There was no bath but at least the shower was huge. The rooms were equipped with a stove, microwave, and small dishwasher. The cupboards also had nice dishes, glasses, and silverware. The bed was very comfortable and it was a nice touch having a bit of separation between the bed and the rest of the room. Each side of the bed had very bright reading lights. The place is suitable for long term stays. I'm not sure if we had a special deal for the morning breakfast but it was included with the room. This was one of the most thorough breakfasts I've had from a chain. They had a person who made omelettes to order and a wide variety of hot items. The potatoes were not the standard frozen variety hash browns. They were exquisitely spiced with rosemary and other herbs. Breakfast here was as good if not better than a lot of your high priced "5 star" hotels. Regretfully, we didn't get to use the pool or the steam room. If you're ever in Fort McMurray, I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. If not for the breakfast, for it's modern style and attention to detail for the long term traveller.

This is a great hotel for the Fort McMurray area. It is new and immaculate. I rented the room for a colleague who travelled up and he said the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing as well. I checked in for my colleague and the front desk staff were so helpful and kind! The price is amazing too for Fort McMurray! I got an extremely cheap rate which is great because it is one of the newer hotels in town.

Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I've stayed at this location on numerous occasions and each time seems to get better. You couldn't ask for friendlier staff. It's always nice to be recognized when you walk in the door. Very clean place and well kept.

The price of this hotel is comparable to other hotels in the area. That being said, the food at this hotel makes it worth so much more. Not charging a "utility surcharge", along with the food will keep me coming back for every trip I make to Fort Mac.

Good Morning Derek T, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate the great comments and they will be shared with our entire team. I am glad that you enjoy your meals with us, our culinary team will be pleased to hear that. I am unsure of what "utility charge" you are referring to, we do charge a service charge on every room service order but that is only for room service and I can assure you that it is a standard practice in the hotel industry. We look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I have been traveling to Fort Mac and stay at the Best Western 25+ times per year. It is the newest hotel, clean with amazing staff. I will never go back to one of the other locations. Juanita and Kiersten have been extremely helpful and will keep me coming back. It's worth the short drive to the north end of Fort Mac.

Came to town for work and this hotel was recommenced to us for its cleanliness and location to our work site. The breakfast was the best I have ever had as a continental. I will be back to this hotel and highly recommend it.

We appreciate the great comments and we will share them with our entire team. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and it really means a lot to us that you would " Highly Recommend " our Hotel. We agree 100 % that our breakfast really is the best in the Fort McMurray market. The only point I want to clarify for anyone reading your review is that our breakfast is complimentary but it is not a continental breakfast ( continental is generally pastry, cereal and coffee ), our breakfast offers a full hot and cold buffet with eggs and omelets made to order for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Our second stay here. Clean, modern and spacious rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast is wonderful. But then, everything we have tried on the food menu has been tasty and awesome. The hotel may be a little hard to find as it is tucked away on the edge of the city but in a very quiet location.

First time at the Best Western stayed here on a Recent Business trip. From the moment I set foot into this Hotel. I was made to feel like I was coming home and not to a hotel.The Check-in was seamless. Shortly after I got to my Room I received a text from Alisha at the Front desk asking me if how my room was and if there was anything they could do to make my stay better.... That is impressive but the checking in didn't stop there , the next day asking if everything was OK and how was my stay. I had asked what was on the Dinner Buffet that night, I received another text from Alisha letting me know the full menu, and if I was not interested in that , there were a few places she suggested. Let's talk about this amazing hotel, Modern, the Room are Spacious, well laid out. The Bed Comfortable, plenty of Counter space in the bathroom and a Nice glass Walk in shower with Hand held unit. A plush robe. The fitness center is located around the corner from the front desk, can be used 24 hrs a day, 3 Treadmills, 3 Elliptical and 2 bikes. 4 Televisions , A universal weight machine, and 2 bench's with plenty of free weights. A couple of Exercise balls and a Bosu balls. A water cooler and plenty of hand Towels for working out. The room is modern /bright and cool, plus you can open the door to let fresh air in. I would love a spin bike...maybe management could add one:) So now for the Restaurant/Bar. What I liked after a long business day you need not to go out to Eat . The Restaurant has a Menu ( The Menu is limited to about 15 options), and a buffet nightly seems like a different buffet each night. Now the Breakfast on the other hand is Amazing who doesn't like a Omelette Station, they make your Omelette and bring it out to you. They made me an Egg white Omelette. There is also a few other hot options, like Sausage, Bacon, Eggs, and another Options. They also have Smoothies, that day was Banana it was So delish. Plenty of Fruit/ hard boiled eggs/ pastries /Cereals ...So something for everyone. If you can't stay for Breakfast and need to grab something and go you can from the Post, my last day I grabbed a Yogurt/Granola cup with Fruit. It was really good. So if you asked me if i would be back...In A heart beat!!! See you in the Spring!

Room was very spacious. Lots of room for luggage and lots of room in the desk area. Decorated in modern but minimalist style. Very clean. Location is in an industrial area with no restaurants or anything around. Excellent location if you are heading north but not great if you want to go out to a restaurant as nothing is walking distance.

Making my first trip up to Ft. Mac, I was told to stay at the Sawridge Suites as I would not be disappointed. Well that is an understatement, upon check in, I was greeted by a friendly smile and a front desk attendant who was very informative and willing to help make my stay go as easy as possible. followed by a text a couple hours later just to see how I was making out and if there was anything else needed. That type of service goes a long way in my books. Another beautiful thing was the bed and the pillows....I now need to find these pillows for home, they are heavenly!! Just an all around great stay!

I stay here every two weeks and am always treated well by all of the staff. Juanita always stops to say hi and makes sure that we are comfortable. The front staff is very professional and Kelsey in the lounge always remembers what we drink and strikes up an interesting conversation.

Great hotel. The location is at the far north side of the city in a small industrial park. Its a bit out of the way, however the rooms are very modern and comfortable. I would stay there again. The breakfast is really good for a continental breakfast.

This hotel was super clean, the staff were more than helpful and accommodating and we loved our stay there. Highly recommend this hotel, it's quiet and modern and the suites are the BEST! A little out of the way on highway 63 North but otherwise it was amazing!

There is nothing not to like about this hotel. It is north of the Athabasca River in an industrial area. It has excellent access to downtown, the Suncor Leisure/Convention Centre and the highway north to the mines. It has ample parking, and is a very clean, new property on the outside. The front staff and the restaurant staff were very pleasant and professional. The room was excellent, with everything you could ask for in amenities including a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and at least 16 electrical outlets in the room for guest use. Bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom had a large walk in shower with full amenities. The breakfast buffet was very broad, and the full service restaurant at night served either an excellent buffet or order off menu. I cannot recommend this property highly enough!!

This hotel was a real gem to discover. I have stayed in Fort McMurray off and on over the last 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised with both the quality and the extent of customer service that was provided. The breakfast buffet was diverse and well beyond the typical continental breakfast found at other hotels, and the staff were excellent. My only disappointment was the location - hotel was at the end of a large loop in an industrial park with only one road in/out of the area. If the location is not an issue for you, I would highly recommend this hotel as a part of your plans in Fort Mac.

My room was awesome and the hotel was clean and decor pleasing to the eye. My only complaint is how every hotel uses super thick pillows that hurt my neck, but that's something every hotel does (why? why do they all do that?) but seriously my room was gorgeous and the breakfast area spacious, clean and prompt service.

I gush over this hotel. I'm always there for business. If you don't need to stay in town (my clients are out of town and this hotel is closest to them) this place is perfect. It's new, clean, with enough food options to take care of what I'm looking for. I can even buy a bag lunch for the next day. Great fitness facility too. All around, a great place.

Of all the Best Westerns I have stayed in in Western Canada from Winnipeg Manitoba to Victoria, BC this is by far the best of the Best Westerns that I have stayed in. Many that I have stayed in while travelling in the U.S. cannot match it either. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are too die for. If I had one issue it was the lack of a pool and hot tub for weary travelers. Fort McMurray is fortunate to have such a great place. There is a lack of signage from the highway. So be careful.

Great new location. Amazing staff and customer service. One of the best hotel beds ever. Clean and immaculate facility. Everything from start to finish was great!! So impressed. The finest hotel and beat service in town.

Excellent meals and helpful staff members. My room was kept very clean. Impressive meals - breakfast and dinner buffet were well prepared. Excellent chef!!! Received a complimentary fruit tray. Thanks for the bottled water. The staff members are attentive to the clients' needs.

Having stayed in a variety of hotels in Fort McMurray, this is easily the best. From the modern appearance and comfortable rooms, it makes the stay feel like home. The standard has been raised and I hope they maintain this for years to come as I make this my primary choice of hotel when visiting the city.

Came up for meetings brought new clients with us and this hotel exceeded all of our expectations. Clean rooms, comfy beds, best breakfast ever, and staff with personality. Will stay here again just wish the rooms were not sooooo pricey. The only thing I can say is watch your Best Western Rewards I have found that my points often do not get nights stayed applied to your account.

I travel a lot. Like 100+ dats a year. The Fort McMurray Best Western competes with ANY hotel I've stayed at whether it be in Long Beach, Daytona Beach, Orlando and Houston. The staff care, the waitress care and that makes me care! The only problem is their usually booked so if your planning a trip - don't wait to book the BW in FM

I stayed in this hotel from February to March 2017 for about 5 weeks. I find this hotel to be one of the best western hotels I have lodged in the whole of Canada, the staffs are amazing. One of the staff named Millie went over and beyond the call of duty to assist me with my luggage and ensured I was comfortable when I checked in. I will always recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Fort McMurray area. Great hotel, keep up the good work. What I like best about this hotel is their Monday to Thursday Buffet, I wish they can extend it to all days of the week. The food is very nice.

Upon my recent check-in I was greeted by the always friendly staff with the surprise of being selected VIP guest of the week! I stay at this hotel because of the staff and very comfortable and clean accommodations. VIP treatment includes an underground parking stall next to the elevator, complete with red carpet, room upgrade to a suite, gift basket, fruit tray and complimentary drinks and food in the lounge during your stay. Oh yes, and one free night stay! Awesome surprise to be greeted with. Just another reason to become a Diamond Plus member!

Good Morning RicardoLeonIrastorza, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate the feedback and I will share it with my entire team. I am very disappointed to hear what happened while you were a guest here at the Hotel, if you can provide additional information it would be greatly appreciated, I can be reached at 780 793 3660. Due to the fluctuations in currency we are not able to make exchanges, we would much rather have you drop in to the bank so that you do not lose out on the exchange. I am unsure as to why any of our team would make a counter offer and I can assure you that the issue will be corrected today. Hopefully you will return so that we can show you the hospitality that we are known for. We hope you are having a great week. Regards, Paul R.

Good Morning 812olabodea, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and they will be shared with our entire team. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and that our team was both " helpful " and " polite ". We do not have a swimming pool, we do have the individual steam rooms which are really amazing way to relax at the end of a long work day. Based on surveys prior to building our guests did not have any interest in a pool but they did want the larger guest rooms so we went in that direction. Hopefully not having a pool will not stop you from returning. We look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R.

Excellent stay, pet friendly hotel. The service was excellent and the hotel was very clean and included complimentary breakfast buffet. My husband had to leave earlier than the buffet started for work and they offered a breakfast to go to be picked up at any time requested the day before.

Good Morning mikemA3936WH, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our entire team. Our hotel is only has the showers to offer, prior to building and doing survey after survey within the market, our guests repeatedly told us they wanted the large custom showers, looking back I wish we had kept a couple just for the guest like yourself who finds the tub relaxing. I am not sure if you were able to take advantage of our steam rooms in the fitness center, it is another great way to relax after a long day.

I've stayed at this hotel numerous times and I enjoy it every time. Great breakfast and very nice, helpful staff. The rooms are very nice, well laid out, and always clean. It's location is a little out of the way, about a 5 minute drive from downtown, but that is a bit of a benefit as you're away from traffic and a little bit closer if you have to go to Suncor or Syncrude.

The breakfast here is the best all around , during certain hrs in the morning he will make to order omelettes which is awesome . Restaurant food was great and plenty of it . The rooms , beds , decor , bathrooms , kitchenettes are modern and comfy . There is underground parking here , a gym , small store area with all your needs plus sandwiches , salads , etc for a good quick lunch .

But the beast thing is the great service they have and the always smiling and greeting staff. I am not a breakfast person, but they had one of the best breakfast option(s). I will easily say that its the BEST in Fort McMurray and one of the best elsewhere. Keep it up!

Beautiful hotel .Very modern and staff were extremely well trained in customer service.Would stay there again without a thought.Loved the doorbells outside the doors which also serve as the "do not disturb"(in red) and the "clean room"in green.Room was exceptionally clean and very modern with microwave, induction cooktop,and dishwasher.Bathroom was very large with huge glass door shower.

This hotel feels brand new. Staff is friendly. Ammenities are very nice. Fitness centre is large and well equipped. Hotel breakfast (included in my stay) offered a large variety, including Healthy options.

There is one thing I feel really bad about, it seems that during check in we missed out on welcoming you to Fort McMurray for the very first time, at that time we should have explained the area to you so that you would have known that at the top of the hill in Timerberlea there are grocery stores and restaurants and you can be there in less than 5 minutes from the hotel.

Simply the BEST hotel experience I've had in a very long time! A new hotel, all 'rooms' are actually suites. Lots of tile and definitely contemporary/modern. Clean lines, lovely washrooms. The fitness centre is next to a superb steam room - definitely one of the hi-lites of the stay. The weekend brunch is amazing - appetizing food and the staff are friendly in the restaurant. The Reception Desk is very friendly and accommodating. The price was absolutely great value for the money!

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our culinary team will be happy to note that you enjoyed your complimentary breakfast and we agree 100% that it is as you note "excellent" I would like to clarify that is so much more than a continental breakfast, a continental breakfast is typically only pastry and coffee while we offer a full hot and cold buffet with multiple stations for both made to order omelets and either french toast or pancakes. I apologize that you had to wait while you were in the restaurant and I can assure you that I will look into why our service levels were not where they should have been.

Excellent place, splendid service and ambient. The rooms are exceptional. It was a wonderful experience to spend time in the lounge, with prompt service and clean environment. It is the preferred place for my company.

Great hotel at a great value. Rooms are extremely nicely appointed with everything someone would need, even on an extended stay. The restaurant is like a chip wagon trying to pass as fine dining. Get a real menu for your guests. We are not in down town New York.

Good Morning patrickwS1925IH, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and they will be shared with our entire team. I am honestly puzzled by your restaurant comments, we are a buffet restaurant with a small menu and dinner specials which is not even close to fine dining. The size of the menu is based on what we are able to do from a very small kitchen. Everything we provide is shown in great detail on our website so that our guests are aware of what we offer in each and every outlet within the hotel. We hope you week is going well and we wish you the best on your travels. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

A well appointed hotel with a friendly and knowledgable staff who are always willing to help/solve problems. Front desk staff are very good at what the do. Good complimentary, hot breakfasts also. Yes, stay here!

For anyone looking to stay in YMM on business this hotel offers everything you need. It's just a little past the downtown core, which for me creates a bit of a space after a long day. The staff have always been helpful and friendly, and I feel secure there travelling as a single woman. The kitchenette is well-equipped and eliminates the need to rely on eating out all the time.

This hotel is very nice and has a full kitchen if you like to cook including a dishwasher. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is expensive and does charge an additional large amount of money when you check in for incidentals. I did not like this and it would have been better had they told me this upfront instead of at the time of check in. It is expensive for what you get but then again everything in Fort Mac is expensive and way over inflated in price.

Very nice hotel with great rooms that include kitchen. Location is past confederation opposite Suncor Business Centre so convenient if your working at Suncor or Syncrude. Evening food offerings are pretty basic.

Good Morning peterkmrf, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate the feedback for sure. It always makes me smile when guests think we are on the outskirts of Fort McMurray, we are on the side of the bridges where the majority of the population of Fort McMurray lives. We are less than 7 minutes to downtown Fort McMurray. If you ever have the chance I would love to know if location was the reason for the rating of 4 out of 5. We are a team of professionals that are always striving to make things better for our guests, if there is something specific that would take us to a rating of 5 in your eyes please let me know.

Good Morning U4699PDlauriem, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. in Fort McMurray. We do appreciate the really awesome review but just as important to us, you tell us that you would recommend us - that means a lot !

We would welcome you back any time that your travels allow. We hope you have an amazing week ! Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Rooms were comfortable, check-in was smooth and efficient, and breakfast buffet was good with plenty of options. It included a kitchenette and will all the utensils you would need if you were staying for an extended visit. My two issues in contrast are so minor! It is in the middle of nowhere...After spending time on a plane then in a meeting I would have liked to go for a walk but there is really no where to go! In the middle of an industrial area. The second is just as minor - the pillows - all four on my bed were horrible - at least for me. I like foam and none were firm and foam...otherwise a good hotel.

Good Morning Dean S, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate the review and any time we read "comfortable" and "efficient" and " a breakfast buffet with plenty of options" - we really could not ask for any more than that. We are located in an eco industrial park that pretty much closes up for the day at 5:00pm so you could have walked for hours without getting lost but you also get the peace and quiet to enjoy your evening inside or out. To say we are in the middle of nowhere is a bit of a stretch, we are located north of the bridges mid point between Thickwood and Timberlea where 70% of the population of Fort McMurray lives. Driving up into either area will give you any of the restaurants and services you may need. We are also less than 7 minutes to the downtown core of Fort McMurray. We look forward to welcoming you back if you choose to stay with us again and if you would like us to purchase a specific pillow for you for your stay we would be more than happy to do so. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Check in was a breeze and staff was super friendly. I liked how they check up on you via text messages throughout your stay to ensure everything is ok. Room was amazing, so nice. Lots of pillows and the bed was comfortable. They accommodated my dog well also. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the complimentary buffet breakfast or the restaurant but it smelled so good every time we walked through. The hotel was very modern and new and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is a bit odd in an industrial area, but once you're inside the hotel you'd never notice. It wa

Good Morning ashleywK6101MA, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your kind comments and you really made my day when you wrote that our team was "super friendly" I am glad that you like the text messages, you have the heart of the Hotel in your hands, it really is an easy way to get fresh towels, have something from our 24 hour market delivered to your room, we will even deliver ice directly to your room from just that text message. We hope to see you again soon and that you do get to enjoy the complimentary breakfast buffet with made to order omelets and much much more. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

New and clean facility. Large rooms with large bathrooms. Helpful staff that goes above and beyond. Wifi and ice machine weren't working though :( however they offered an Ethernet connection If necessary to help accommodate. Good location for my purpose. Quick to downtown.

Good Morning pob293, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. Thank you for the honest feedback, we truly look for reviews like yours to go back and figure out where we went wrong and fix it so that it does not ever happen to another guest. With regards to the internet I personally went back through the daily reports and there were no outtages in the last 14 days, what was needed was for someone to walk you through setting it up on your computer and I apologize that it did not happen that way but it appears my team took the easy route and offered you the ethernet cable which connects you to our hard wired internet and offers the no fail solution. Hopefully we will get to welcome you back to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray as your travels allow. I would also like to have you call me directly at 780 793 3660 so that I can resolve any problems you may encounter while you are a guest here at the Hotel. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I travelled here for the weekend to see my boyfriend, who is working in the Oilsands. The location is right on the north end of the city, in a small industrial park, which is kind of strange, but it was very nice and quiet and my boyfriend appreciated that it wasn't too far from his camp. It was also nice to be away from the "nightlife" in downtown Fort McMurray. The hotel itself is very nice inside! There is a 24-hour little convenience store right by the front desk with lots of food and toiletry kinds of items, and a nice bar and restaurant. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable, especially Alisha. The room was beautiful and clean, and very well appointed! A big shower, a kitchenette that is bigger than my own kitchen at home (and a lot nicer), and a nice firm bed. Everything was spotless and modern, we were both really impressed with the quality. I definitely plan on staying here next time I come to visit! It's also definitely worth signing up for the free Best Western Rewards on their website, the preferred rate you get is much much better than what is offered otherwise!

Good Morning CynicalHolly, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We agree 100% that the location is very quiet and at the end of a tough day our guests don't want to hear exterior noise or nightlife noise, they want the restful relaxing sleep that we offer. We are happy that you enjoyed the extras that we do offer. The best comment that any guest could make is that we are "beautiful and clean". You are right on the money with the best available rate, you will always find that on the Best Western web site. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Stayed in early May for 7 nights. Very pleasant, professional and well trained front desk staff. Clean, well appointed rooms with comfortable bedding and lots of chairs. Too bad they don't offer hot breakfast sandwich before 6, however the bag breakfast is nice touch!

Good Morning Gord H, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your great comments and we will share them with our team. There may have been some confusion with the breakfast to go, if you sign up the night before you get a full hot breakfast to go that is ready with your name on it any time after 5:00am. That hot breakfast to go changes every day so that our guests also see variety in their breakfast meal and that is also complimentary. I am happy that you enjoyed your seven day stay with us, I know there are many choices in Fort Mc Murray and we are happy that you chose to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort Mc Murray. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort Mc Murray

Not the most convenient location because it's north of town but a very comfortable and well run location. Comfortable rooms with great service and an awesome breakfast buffet. Rooms are spacious and most feature a kitchenette.

Paul J, General Manager at Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites, responded to this review
Good Morning ITMRepBC, Thank you for taking the time to review our Hotel. We really do appreciate the great comments that you have shared about your stay. We agree that the rooms are very comfortable and welcoming to anyone who is on the road for either a day a week or a month at a time. Our culinary team will be pleased to read that you note "awesome breakfast buffet", it really is the best way to start your day. When you talk about location I think that the perfect location depends on where you need to be in the morning - if you are heading downtown in the morning it takes 7 minutes from our Hotel, if you are heading out to one of the oil sands sites our location cuts 1 hour a day of travel from your schedule, getting you back to your hotel to relax and enjoy the evening. Even visiting family, over 60% of the households in Fort Mc Murray are north of the bridges which makes it then a 5 minute car ride from the Hotel. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort Mc Murray

From beginning to end of my stay... I had en experience I have never had before... Hospitality is fantastic. Being a long term customer of the past Sawridge, this one has just stepped it up. Other hotels in the Municipality of Wood Buffalo have rates that far exceed this hotel, and the quality is nothing comparable.

Good Morning 323terryr, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate the review and your comments. I am sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations. When a restaurant fills, even to the half capacity you noted, with all guests coming at the same time, it will take time to serve every guest, that happens at every restaurant not just at our establishment. Kiersten was able to reach out to you directly for additional feedback and we appreciate that. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

The hotel was clean - the rooms were nice, bright, clean and comfortable. The staff were fantastic, the buffet food was great. Overall, if you're planning a trip to Fort McMurray for work or pleasure, I'd recommend this hotel.

I enjoy staying at BW because of how I am treated by the staff and the cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms. I stay in a hotel for business purposes but its like being on vacation when I get to the hotel...that sums it up.

The service was great! Breakfast was fantastic! Bed wasn't all that great for comfort, but lots of fluffy pillows, bring your own flat one if you like that kind. Nice and clean, fairly new hotel. Not the best place for quick in and out because of location, but worth it for what you get. Looking forward to staying again. Two thumbs up!

Good Morning angelatQ5541MD, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your kind comments and most importantly I will share them with our entire team. I am glad to hear that you thought the service was great, I am also really happy to know that you thought breakfast was fantastic - our culinary team will be pleased for sure. I was honestly unsure as to what you meant about the quick in and out, the length of time you spend at our intersection on to highway 63 is the same as every other intersection and from there you are two minutes from our front door. We are really pleased that you will be a returning guest and if there is anything that we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please just let us know. Regards, Paul R.

Had a quick trip to Ft. McMurray with my son for a gymnastics competition. Hotel is clean and functional for the 2 of us. Full kitchenette and everything is new! 2 TV's in the room wasn't needed but great for multi-channel surfing. The only issue was the room was cold and took 7-8 hours to warm up... a little weird. And they only offer king beds and no double beds? Would have been nice to have our own beds but we shared. The hotel has a generic restaurant with an ok menu but don't expect much more than bar food for dinners. That said the pizza was actually really good. Great staff all around, everyone was friendly and will to help when asked.

Good Morning BKNJS, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your comments and I will share them with our entire team. I did want to clarify your comments on our beds, we offer queen beds and king beds in each of our suites however we do not have two beds in any of our rooms. This decision was made after much market research prior to the Hotel opening the doors two years ago, the result of that research is that guests staying in Fort McMurray wanted one bed, larger work surfaces, multiple closets and walk in showers just to name a few items and we delivered on each and every one of those requests. We are sorry that you had to share a room, our room layouts with bed sizes are all listed on our web site including virtual tours so that our guests know exactly what they are getting before they arrive. I am pleased that you note "the great staff", we appreciate that. We hope that you enjoyed the quality family time you had during the gymnastics competition in Fort McMurray and we look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This hotel is by far the best place to stay in the Fort Mac area. It is modern and convenient at a reasonable price for what you get. It is minutes from the DT core and easily accessible to highway if traveling to the mine sites north of town.

I stayed many different hotels in Fort McMurray but this hotel is one of the best in Ft McMurray. Great location. Perfect Service. When you enter the lobby friendly reception welcomes you. Rooms are great clean. King Size mattress was really comfortable. If you wan to go sites in the morning you bypass most of the town traffic. I will definitely stay there again. Restaurant bar was great. I give 5 star for this visit.

I can confirm all the positive comments about this place: new, clean, well located, direct access to highway. Only inconvenience by the moment is the limited options for dinning. But, just driving a couple kilometers you can find plenty options. I will return to this hotel for future travels to Fort McMurray.

This is a very new hotel and everything shines. The rooms are designed with a kitchenette in them for a long term stay. A sitting area and small table and 2 chairs are separate from the desk. Queen size bed with 6 pillows. I didn't try them all. The bar/restaurant had a buffet meal for the dinner and a limited menu to order from. A breakfast buffet was included in the rate. Overall an excellent experience

I really like the new concept. The meals where above my expectations. The value for the dollar is very good. Staff is very professional and helpful. The room was above average for the price. This hotel might be missed by some as it is on the far north end of Fort McMurray, it is well worth the drive. I would say the nicest stay in the town.

Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Beautiful new hotel with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay and get a good rest, and enjoy your time. A little out of the way in terms of distance to town and irport, but it's as close to camps as you can get in the north, so that was convenient for a meeting I was attending up in the camps.

Good Morning Andrew O, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and I will share them with our entire team. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us, it really does make a difference after a long day at work. We are the only Hotel that is North of the bridges or North of downtown Fort McMurray and the greatest part about that is that we are still only seven minutes to downtown. Not to mention that staying with us instead of an area like Gregoire cuts 30 minutes of drive time each way, every day - and that means more time for you personally to relax. and enjoy. We look forward to welcoming you back to Fort McMurray and to the Best Western Plus, we would love to be your new home away from home. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I can't say enough good things about this place! The staff is great, and the room was awesome: spacious, clean, nice bed and a great big shower stall. And the included breakfast buffet was fantastic. Definitely staying there again next time we go to fortmac.

Paul and his staff completely shocked me with the level of cleanliness, professionalism, and conduct of the hotel that I did not expect. On my late arrival, I had a hand written welcome card in my room along with a fresh fruit platter waiting for me in the refrigerator. Awesome place!

In the past 2 months of having to return to FT McMurray for Business its been a real relief to have a Hotel that's like Home. Its been a really hard time returning to the community that you lived in for 25 plus years and a home of 20 years left to no more than ashes. The Staff have been so understanding to our needs so friendly to deal with every hour of the day. a room so complete and refreshing . We had such a great stay during this our most trying hour. I returned to Ft MAc Sept 5 and had to pick up the wife's truck from the hotel. I let are dogs out for a quick washroom break and they were so excited when they got out trying to head for the front door LOL. They were greeted every morning as well as us with a good morning and a friendly smile and conversation on our day. Great hotel and awesome staff will continue to use for Business for many years to come.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to review our Hotel, the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I am very appreciative of your comments and your kind words. I honestly don't think that people will ever understand what our community has gone though and continues to go through on a daily basis as we try to reestablish our homes and our community. It makes me very happy to read about our team and to be able to express to them just how important that morning or evening greeting and smile is to our guests. And of course your dogs would be greeted also as they are a part of your family ! We hope that things start to move faster for you in the rebuilding process, so that you are once again back in your home and can relax but until then you are always more than welcome to make our Hotel your home away from home. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I enjoyed the stay greatly. The friendly staff was accommodating to all my needs. The food was great and everybody was always happy and helpful. I have stayed at many hotels in Fort McMurray, this has been the most comfortable and clean one. I will be coming back here next time I'm in the Mac!

I was very impressed with the service from the time you walk in the lobby til the time you leave. The staff is outgoing and very friendly. The building is new and everything is keep very clean. We ate at the buffet and the food was very good , my husband is very fussy but found lots to eat. They also have a bar and little convince store. I would defiantly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Fort Mac Murray, you won't be disappointed. Kim Calgary AB

Great hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and brand new hotel. Breakfast was amazing....nice buffet and lots to choose from. A little secluded from other in town restaurants and shops but great choice. This hotel looks much nicer than the hotels in the city...I guess you can't have it all.

Paul J, General Manager at BEST WESTERN PLUS Sawridge Suites, responded to this review
Good Morning Danielle, Thank you for taking the time to review our Hotel. We appreciate your kind comments and I will share them with our entire team. Our breakfast team will be pleased to hear that you thought breakfast was amazing and our evening culinary team will also be pleased to hear about your comments on our dinner buffet. The comment that I always love to read and hear is that our Hotel is clean, as a hotelier that really is the best compliment anyone can give our team and it is something we strive for on a daily basis. I think as a team we need to share more information about our location, you get the peace and quiet of our location in the TaigaNova Park but you are only 7 minutes from downtown and equally important is that you are less than 5 minutes from the Timberlea neighborhood which offers a wide selection of restaurants and shops to choose from. I hope that there were enough positives so that you will come and stay with us again when you are in Fort McMurray because we really do appreciate your business. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This was about two weeks after people were allowed back after the fire, so I'm not going to comment on the service side of things, the food, or anything else that needs input from outside the building. The rooms are nice, no real views to speak of, and in an industrial location, so unless you are headed out to site, it may be a little out of the way. That being said, it's a new facility with nice amenities and strong wifi. Rooms are a decent size and keycards are NFC.

Good Morning Raj, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and we will share them with our entire team. Our location in the TaigaNova Industrial Park is less than 7 minutes from downtown but in fact cuts 30 minutes of travel time each way if you are travelling to the Oil Sands or just mere minutes away if your business takes you to Thickwood of Timberlea. It was difficult for us in the weeks and months after the fire. We were evacuated for just 3 days and then we were back with a team of 7 people to feed and house the first responders for over a month. Guests started to return and we were in the same position as the rest of our community with staff who lost their homes and chose not to return - we were basically starting our operation all over again. That is just a small explanation as to why some of our services were not at 100% during your visit. Three months after the fire we are back and better then ever with a team who genuinely want to ensure that you have a great guest experience. I do hope that you will visit us again so that we can show you the true spirit of hospitality at the Best Western Plus. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

I regularly travel to Ft McMurray for work. I was extremely pleased with the Best Western. Brand new accommodations, great gym with steam room and great food with even better service. Made travelling for work feel less like work!

Good Morning Techmgr1, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I am happy to read your comments and I will share them with our entire team. Our culinary team will be pleased to know that you enjoyed your our breakfast offerings and we agree 100% that the omelet station is a great touch and is the only one in the Fort McMurray Market. Happy Hour offered daily is always a welcome respite after a long day at work and given our location North of the bridges in Fort McMurray it also cuts down on your travel time to the Oil Sands allowing you even more time to relax. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This hotel is new and very modern. There is a full breakfast available complimentary with your stay. There is a dinner buffet in the evening that is $25.00, which is cheap for Ft. Mac. The rooms were clean and ultra modern. A very classy hotel.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our entire team as a learning tool, showcasing what our guests like and what areas need a little more work. I am happy to read that you thought our price point for dinner was good value, that was our intent all along, we geared the buffet prices to the folks that are on the road 3-5 days a week and who did not want to pay $ 40 and $ 50 for dinner each evening. The best point that any reviewer could make, at least to us, is that we are a clean Hotel, something that our team strives for each and every day - so thank you for that ! We look forward to welcoming you back to Fort McMurray and to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

A nice new Best Western property with all of the amenities at your fingertips. There was no need to leave the property when I got in from a day of work. The only downside is the restaurant does not have a full menu so you are stuck eating the buffet. The lounge is great for catching up on emails and having a beverage while doing so.

Good Morning Cory, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and we will share them with our entire team. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. I am not sure when you stayed with us last but I am happy to say that we have added a new menu in addition to the buffet options. The new menu has items like pizza, donair plates, beef dip and an all day breakfast skillet. We are listening to our guests as we made these changes, it is what our customers were asking for. Hopefully in the very near future you will be back to the Hotel to see the changes that we have made. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow.

Only sloppy powdered eggs available at Breakfast When I asked the Restaurant manager for an Omelelet or at least some real eggs he turned arrogant on me and said there was no way he would cook any other style of eggs I've stayed in many BW hotels around the world and this was by far my worst experience Never again! I cant stomach Arrogance sespecially in a hotel whose rooms start at $269 p/night Give your heads a shake BW Managers at BW PLUS

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. I appreciate your comments as I did when we spoke to you directly about your concerns with our breakfast. There are a number of points within your review that I would like to clarify. We do not nor have we ever used powdered eggs in our restaurant since we opened the hotel. You asked for eggs made to order and it was explained to you that we have not offered that option since the devastating wildfires in May. You spoke to a member of our kitchen team and they explained to you why we no longer offered the eggs made to order. Our full hot and cold buffet breakfast was available and I am glad that you were still able to have your breakfast. We wish you well on your future travels. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

The finally opens a best western in ft mc, a welcome site very nice great rooms and friendly staff, the strange thing was the restaurant, at the buffet you had to weight your food? But there is no explanation why? So you have to ask your way around, but overall nice place

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your great comments and I will share them with our entire team as a learning tool so that our team can see what is working and what requires a little fine tuning. The concept behind the scale in the restaurant was simply to allow our guests the option of paying for an all you can eat buffet or to pay for the items they actually wanted from our buffet as opposed to being forced to take the all you can eat buffet. I am glad that you enjoyed your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

We went here for breakfast with the family, the price was good but the food was not the greatest. It also was not very child friendly. We definitely will be seeking out another restaurant to be having family Sunday breakfast at. We had to order eggs separately and we waited for 20 for our scrambled eggs with cheese for our 2 and 5 year old. Then finally my husband went to ask where the boys eggs were and the cook behind the counter forgot to make them. They came out 5 minutes later burnt and the cheese was just thrown on top, almost as though to cover up the burnt egg.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your comments and I will share them with our team. I do wish to clarify that we do not have a menu, breakfast every day is a buffet that offers eggs or omelets made to order and as each guest orders the process does take time. The bottom line is that you were not happy and I sincerely apologize for that, our guest experience remains our number one priority. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Wow this hotel is very knew but has everything you need. Kitchens in the rooms, Lounge, Restaurant, Mini Store, fitness, pool and and amazing breakfast spread. We love BW's but wow this one is like royalty. So happy they are continuing to open more in Northern Alberta. Fox Creek, Peace River and now Ft Mac keep building You will be blown away by the hotel.

We dined and drank at the bar often, with really good options for food and drink. I will not stay anywhere else when I am in town!

The hotel is modern, clean and fresh. Loved the dinner buffet included in the room price along with the breakfast buffet in the morning. Rooms are large and comfortable. It's tucked away in a light industrial area so it's a bit quieter than other hotels I have stayed at. This will be my 'go to' hotel whenever I am in Fort McMurray.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your kind comments and I will share them with our team. We agree that it is peaceful and quiet, just what the doctor ordered after a long day of work. Just to clarify for any future guests reading our reviews, dinner is included in our introductory offer only however our buffet breakfast is included always with every room rate. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Our room was beautiful and clean. It had a stocked kitchenette, with dishwasher. The bed was comfy, the pillows were a bit soft for my liking though. The staff were always friendly, and they had one of the best complementary breakfasts I have ever had with so many options. The waitress even remembered our drink order the second day. I would defiantly recommend this for a short or long term stay.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to review our hotel. I am happy to read your great comments and I will share them with every member of our team - they honestly do help us to grow. We also agree that the hotel is set up perfectly for either short term or long term visits. Our culinary team will be pleased to hear your great comments on breakfast and I am happy that you enjoyed the buffet selections. I appreciate your views on the pillows, we are in fact looking to bring in some harder pillows to be able to offer our guests the choice. Our guests are loving the fact that they can use their breakfast coupon for a freshly made breakfast sandwich and coffee from our Market if they are trying to hit the road early. Thank you again for the great feedback and we hope to see you again soon. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Once again the Best Western Hotels are the best. The service from the moment walking into the hotel was great. From the lobby to room, to the overall hotel it is clean and comfortable. Breakfast choices were amazing. If you go hungry that would not be the fault of the Best Western PLUS Sawridge Suites. I liked the idea that they head a little store area where you could pick up a sandwich or salad or just a snack. It helped out as it is in an area where there are no restaurants around you. Would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We really appreciate your comments and truly believe that our new hotel is built perfectly for the guest who travels just once or is on the road all month long.

We look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This is by far the best experience I have had in a hotel in 20 years. The Best Western Sawridge Suites is new, and still has that new smell to it. The staff are very friendly and courteous throughout all departments. The suites have comfy King size beds and a selection of firmness of pillows (who thinks of that?!!) to suit your sleeping arrangements. The kitchenettes are fully equipped with everything (cutlery, cups, utensils including a mini fridge and dishwasher. The large rain-head shower and is a nice touch. Bob Marley One Love Coffee for an eyeopener out of the in suite Keurig, and its off to the included breakfast buffet to get a custom omelette made up. I showed up on an Easter weekend and was away from my family for the first time ever for an Easter and missed our regular get together. The staff surprised me when I got back to the hotel later that evening with an Easter egg, but what really got me was that they included a card with everyone's personal signature on it wishing me a Happy Easter. Wow, that's a first too! Sacha (the manager that weekend) went out of her way to hand deliver each one of these cards and gifts to the guests that were there that weekend, and not at home with their families. This is a very classy Hotel tucked in a quiet spot with a world class staff that go out of their way to take care of the details that go beyond your expectations.

Nice new hotel. Great amenities and service. Restaurant and Lounge are very good, clean and well maintained. Location is well situated for visiting Fort McKay and north of Fort McMurray. I would recommend to those visiting Fort McMurray.

Currently this hotel is tied with the Best Western Premier in Calgary on my 'favourite everyday-hotels in Canada' list. Until I figure out which one is better, I have no first place designation. I assure you Fort Mac is the most boring place you will ever visit, but at least this Best Western will make your stay enjoyable.

Great hotel in a decent location however it is in a industrial area. Very clean and modern rooms and great amenities such as the Outpost, fitness room and lounge.Highly recommend for business or pleasure.

Good Morning Attila, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your kind comments and I will share them with our entire team. Our location in the TaigaNova Industrial Park is actually appreciated by our guests for how quiet it is in the evenings but appreciated even more for the amount of time it actually cuts from travel to and from any of the oil sands sites while still being less than seven minutes from downtown. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus as your travels allow. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Very clean and modern. Staffs are nice. I have been stayed lots of hotels everywhere, but this is the one of the best hotels. Location is kinda weird but if you have a vehicle, it should be ok. Breakfast is complimentary. I would go back again for sure.

I stayed here awhile when working up in the oil sands and must say it is the best in town. Location is the best for heading out to work -knocks off tons of stop and go traffic going through town. It is new so very modern and clean. Dinner is buffet style which I liked because you can eat fast when done work.

Very Nice and new hotel North of the River in Fort Mac. I have stayed in many hotels in this city in the past and the value here is better. I have paid a lot more in other hotels for conditions that were less than stellar. I will continue to stay here when I visit the area.

I had the best business stay at the Ft McMurray Best Western Plus. They assisted me with planning my meeting and ensured every need was taken care of so that I could hold a successful training session. The rooms are great, the bed was superior, and again I can't say enough about all the staff at this hotel! The restaurant/lounge staff were attentive, the front desk went above great service to assist me, the fitness facility is high quality. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ft McMurray now.

I've stayed here several times and always had a good experience. Its a few dollars more than some of the others in the area but comes with some extra perks. The rooms are larger and often you can get a free voucher for breakfast. The breakfast is great, more than just microwaved stuff or cereal and bread.

Typically, I never write reviews about accommodations, but this was a disappointment. The Room reminded me of staying in a dilapidated work CAMP. When staying at a hotel, one should have the same amenities as home. These rooms only come with a shower. The bedrooms have only about 2 feet of space between the bed and walls. It gives one a claustrophobic feeling. Hotels rooms should be inviting but this room was sterile and cold. Shortly after surveying the room, I was ready to check out, in hindsight I should have. For breakfast, the scrambled eggs were very overcooked and had the same texture as neoprene, and the potatoes were undercooked. The orange juice was prepared with club soda or tonic water.

Paul J, General Manager at BEST WESTERN PLUS Sawridge Suites, responded to this review
Good Morning, In over 30 years in the hospitality industry I was taught that the customer is always right but in this case, you Sir are 100% wrong. I want to address each and every one of the comments that you made above. To write that our Hotel reminded you of a dilapidated work camp is honestly a truly bizarre statement to make given that we have been open for less than 7 months. You write about the small bedroom but you do not mention the oversized living room and kitchen that it is attached to, nor do you mention the oversize bathroom with custom glass showers and washer and dyer. You write that your visit reminded you of staying in a work camp and that you were missing the amenities of home, I do not know of any work camp in all of Alberta that offers cooktop stoves, dishwashers, oversized work desks, fully stocked kitchens with cookware, glassware, cutlery and china not to mention two closets in each and every one of the rooms that we offer. You note that our rooms are sterile and cold but you make no mention of the beautiful local artwork showcasing the amazing Northern Lights. In your breakfast comments you address the eggs which are real and made to order along with the omelets and our orange juice is dispensed from a machine and not mixed with anything at all. My intent in my response to you Sir is simply to offer an opinion that coincidentally matches the reviews that other guests have left regarding our Hotel. We wish you well on your future travels. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Staff and hotel is excellent! Lisa and Katy are great! Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Nice to have a lounge and place to eat with great surroundings. This is the only place i stay in while in the Mac area since it opened up, and i travel to this area weekly.

Its been a while since I stayed in Fort Mac so this hotel was new since the last time I was here and by the looks of it quite new. Nice clean rooms and lobby and the breakfast is excellent. It's located on the far North end of town in an industrial/commercial area so it's best suited for people in town on business.

I am in town for work and I'm amazed by the quality of this hotel. The accomadations, service, and food are some of the best I have ever received from a hotel.

Great location for business in the Oil Sands and Fort McMurray. Close to Hwy 63 for travel North and very close to stores in Fort Mac for anything you might need. Friendly and professional staff. Great room setup for comfort and business activities. The room design and layout caters to both realxation when you need it and productivity when business demands it. I'll be back!

My husband planned a romantic night out and the hotel couldn't have been more accommodating! They assisted with providing fresh flowers, chocolates, wine - even towels fashioned into clever animal shapes made the whole experience feel like a mini vacation. We stayed in a queen suite which was sleek, modern and very European in decor. While we only stayed one night, I can imagine how comfortable this room would be for a longer stay and particularly for business guests due to the proximity to major oil sands operations. Fully equipped kitchenette, dishwasher and even in-room washer and dryer. A comfortable, well lit work area also provided. Creations restaurant and lounge was comfortable and service superb - thanks Lisa for keeping our glasses full and service well timed. Be sure to try the chicken wing appetizers cooked to perfection and especially impressive that the kitchen is a "no deep fryer zone"! Breakfast buffet was included and the made to order omelettes excellent. Great selection of fresh fruit, pastries and various other breakfast choices. Courteous, professional staff from check in to check out - you won't be disappointed.

This hotel is far from everywhere. You need a car so you can buy what you need, if not you will be stock at the hotel. Going to town for a cab is bit pricey. Rooms are okay but no bathtub, I was looking forward to take a deep bath after work. Internet is slow.

Good Afternoon Ben, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your comments and I will share them with our team. I wanted to speak to your comments on location, I am sorry our location did not work for your visit but I wanted to ensure that you understood that the cab fare from our location to downtown is actually less than the cab fare from the Hotels located on the south side of Fort McMurray to downtown. I can understand that some guests do enjoy a bath versus a shower but hands down our guests are raving about the custom built showers and I honestly think that is because just by looking through the glass walls you know that shower is spotlessly clean. For our guests who wanted that extra relaxation we added the Steam Rooms to our Hotel just because we knew how hard people work during their shifts and the long hours they put in. I see no record of any internet issues but I would greatly appreciate a call if you can to 780 793 3660 to let me know what happened and when, it is important to me to get to the bottom of it. We do receive reports every morning on the previous days internet usage and I can honestly say that if the hotel was full and every guest was streaming Netflix it would not slow down our system - it was designed to ensure that did not happen. I do apologize that we were not successful in providing you with a memorable visit however we do wish you well on your travels. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

This hotel and the staff is amazing! I stayed in a single queen bed room, and I was blown away by how large the room was. The bathroom is larger than most hotel bathrooms, with a large glass shower on one end, and a long sink counter. There are two closets in the room, one with a safe. Also a kitchen area with stovetop unit, bigger than mini-fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, as well as dishes and pots. Bed was very comfy, it has a pillow top mattress. Large (55"??) wall mount TV, good free wi-fi (I got over 3mbs), large desk area (counter). In fact, the room reminds me of the kind of room you would get at a resort! The included breakfast buffet is very good, food is tasty. Every staff interaction I experienced over my 3 day stay was excellent, everyone was friendly and very helpful. The lobby even has a 24 hour snack shop that is like a mini convience store! The hotel has been open since June 2015, so it has a very modern vibe to it. The location of the property is in an industrial park, but a new part of it, so there is not a lot to see or do unless you have a car. But it is the closest hotel to the Oilsands operations north of Ft McMurray. I highly recommend this hotel!

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and I will share them with our team. I am really to happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. I agree the rooms are great because of the size and the two closets allow you to put your stuff away, then it feels more like home and less like a hotel room. One point that I was really happy to read was about the internet and how it worked for you, it is a Best Western Standard and if you don't have great speeds calling that hotline will resolve any issue that may arise with your device. Our team does take great pride in ensuring that we do all that we can to ensure you have a great visit but equally important to us, if something is wrong - we want to make it right for you.

A terrific new Best Western in Fort Mac. Finally! Huge lobby, very nice. Lots of parking. Very upscale and modern décor through out the hotel. Stayed a week, queen suite. This is the smallest of their rooms, and it was quite large, very comfortable. All the rooms have a full kitchen, complete with a Kuerig coffee maker (which I love - thank you management for giving me great coffee) Very quiet. Huge TV with a pull out flexible wall mount. Blazing fast internet that never faded out. Hot water was a little slow on the tap, but once it arrived there was plenty. Restaurant was open all 3 meals...it is all 3 meals buffet. Breakfast is included. Good quality, but buffets do get a tad boring for me after a few days. Full bar, if you want. lots of seating. good service. This hotel sits well out of town, on the northern side. (The wrong side?) There is only industrial venues around it. The town of FtMac is 10 minutes away. But, beautiful hotel. Reasonable rates. I will happily stay here again

Good Morning Brenda, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our team. I agree that the Suites are a perfect size with plenty of storage and closets to make you feel at home. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your morning coffee as the Kuerig was a must have for our guests in each and every room. Our location is not in downtown Fort McMurray as you noted but in less than 7 minutes you can be in downtown. We are located in an Industrial Park made up of office buildings that traditionally close at 5:00pm which makes our location probably the most quiet in all of Fort McMurray and for people who work 24 hour schedules that really is a great feature. We thank you for sharing your experience and we look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Normally being new is a good thing, this place still needs a little polishing. Nice large rooms, great amenities but the WiFi is a little flaky. Room temperature controls were not good, with the ac kicking on with the setting at 22C on a winter morning. Personnel were great. Their association with Sawridge only makes them better.

I am disappointed to hear that you had problems with your internet as one of the Best Western Standards is that you can walk from the restaurant and or bar using your laptop and that signal does not drop at all. I am unsure as to what the issues were that you encountered but I would like to talk to you about it for sure and you can reach out to me at any time at 780 793 3660. When the room temperature is set the AC does not kick on but to protect the system the fan runs for a couple of minutes as the element heats up and then continues to run for a couple of minutes after element shuts down. If you have any suggestions that you would like to share to make things better I would love to hear them and you can reach me at any time at 780 793 3660. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Stayed here for a single night while travelling on business. After picking up our car from the airport we headed out to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. I have to admit that I didn't know where the hotel was and once I entered it into the GPS I was a little shocked to see it was a fair distance away from what I was expecting. I also hadn't realized that this hotel was brand new in July of 2015. Upon arrival I was not disappointed when checking in. Everything is very modern and clean. There is a complimentary buffet breakfast with fresh made omelettes, bacon, sausage, potatoes, juices, coffee, pastries, fruit, etc. The rooms are spacious and modern. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Plenty of power outlets throughout the room to plug your devices in. Large flat screen tv's with in room movies and many channels to chose from. After arriving here we decided not to head out to grab a bite and decided to stay at the hotel and have dinner. Dinner did not disappoint. There is nothing really close by at this time so the on site restaurant was our only choice. Overall, I would definitely stay here again despite the fact that it's a bit out of the way.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review our brand new hotel in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our entire team. Location was a key factor when deciding where to build our Hotel and here in the TaigaNova Industrial Park we feel we have found the perfect location. If you are renting a car it really is pretty easy to find us - follow highway 63 across the bridges and turn right at the first set of lights - you are now in the Park. This location saves over an hour a day of travel if you are heading to one of the Oil Sands Sites or you are still only 7 minutes from downtown. Our culinary team will be pleased to hear your comments about your great experiences while you were a guest. I agree 100% that the electrical outlets are perfectly located exactly where you need them so that you can stay fully connected while you are travelling. We hope that your business brings you back to Fort McMurray and to the Best Western so that we can personally say thank you for your kind words. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

I stayed here for a week for work, a king bed suite. The room was fantastic, very modern, very clean, very quiet. I was worried about highway noise, but could barely even hear it and I am sensitive to noise. The staff were all really great, greeting with smiles all the time. I had an issue with the heating/AC(new hotel glitches) and they all treated me and the problem with importance and respect. I felt well taken care of, which can truly be a rare thing these days, in the service industry. They fitness room is really quite nice. The restaurant staff were lovely. Little store in hotel has many items one might require. The only thing I might recommend is to turn down the lighting in the restaurant and the rooms, it was very bright. I would have liked a dimmer lounge feel to the restaurant in the evening....sit down in the lounge after a long hard day. Also the wall lamps by the bed were too bright, they reflect in the tv, maybe request to have the light bulbs taken out of all but one. But they have these cool little personal, adjustable reading lights on each side of the bed. I just used those and pointed them to the ceiling for my bed lighting, while watching tv. Overall is a great hotel and fantastic staff, they deserve a HUGE thumbs up, I wish them much success! I would most certainly stay at this hotel again.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and we will share them with our team as a learning tool so that everyone is aware of what we are doing well and what areas need a little fine tuning. We agree with your comments on the external noise as it is not something that you even hear and it makes you feel as if you are out in the country even though you are only 7 minutes from downtown Fort McMurray. I also agree 100% on the lighting and I will follow up to ensure that procedures we have in place for dimming the lights are being followed in the restaurant and bar areas. The Outpost Market is very convenient for the items you forget not to mention a place to pick up a couple of treats to take back home. We look forward to welcoming you back as your travels allow.

I booked on line via our corporate on-line booking tool, the rate was about $220. When I checked in and went into my room and signed on to the B/W internet, a banner page launched and advertised a special first timers rate of $150. plus some bonus points. I asked at the front desk and was told I did not qualify, it was for phone in reservations only. I checked the B/W main webpage, the special rate was not listed there either. I asked upon check out about this and was again told I did not qualify. Don't advertise something with no intention of honoring your special rate. I am sure the marketing people at B/W corporate would not approve of this false advertising. What a bunch of Crap

Good Morning Wes, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. Please allow me to apologize for the confusion encountered regarding the Welcome Offer that is displayed on our internet landing page. As is the case with every promotion listed on our Special Offers page, each distinct special comes with its own terms and conditions and those terms and conditions must be met in order to receive the offer noted. The offer that you are referring to specifically requires that the reservation be booked in advance, there are no exceptions to that rule. Your company has a specific rate negotiated through Best Western however you are more than welcome to check out our specials and make your reservation that way as well. I am disappointed that you chose the words "False Advertising" when we have in face welcomed many many guests using that specific Welcome Offer. If you would like to discuss this please do not hesitate to contact me directly at your convenience at my direct line 780 793 3660. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

We had a great 2-night stay at this hotel. Not your average BW+, very friendly staff. Amazing breakfast with made to order eggs/omelette and dinner buffet was equally enjoyable. Would highly recommend - will be back !

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our team. I am really happy to hear that you had a great visit with us. I could not agree more with your comment that we are not like any other Best Western Plus, we are unique and a great fit for our market whether you are here for a short stay or for an extended time frame. Our culinary team will be pleased to hear your comments about breakfast, our breakfast really is amazing with the selections offered, the made to order omelets really are not something that you would ever find on a complimentary breakfast. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus in Fort McMurray as your travels allow. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

The opening was very professional, great shrimp and personal service from all staff. We had a chance to view 4 different room layouts.....which were very impressive. If you need a longer term stay and work north of the bridge....this is a Great place. The weekend brunch is also very good.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments about our grand opening this week. It was a great event and I am happy that so many of our guests and people from our community were able to attend. I agree, the food was delicious and so was the entertainment. The Suite tours were fun and gave everyone an opportunity to see exactly what we have to offer. Our team, from every department, pulled together to make sure that it was a great event and that our guests were looked after ! We hope to welcome you back soon ! Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Stayed 1 night at this new facility. It is by far the best anything Fort Mac has seen for a hotel. Lobby that exudes "WOW", Excellent large comfortable quiet rooms. Killer showers. Friendly attentive staff. Don't stay anywhere else as nothing can match this place.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus in Fort McMurray as your travels allow. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites .

I always stay best Western. Best hotels for working guys like me. I'm probably on my 50th stay or so. The staff are high turnover but I get the same service. Quick and painless. I love the building. Plus.

Hotel was clean and the rooms very well appointed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in and check out was professional and quick. The breakfast menu was excellent with several choices, far better than the traditional continental breakfast offered by others. Parking is adequate.

Good Morning Kent, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and I will share them with our team. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we agree with your assessment on the guest rooms, they offer the best of both - the ability to work and relax. The breakfast continues to be a great feature for us, as you indicated, our guests are pleased with the selections offered and the continuous changes while still maintaining the staples each morning. With regards to the parking don't forget we have the underground parking also as an option as the colder weather gets ready to roll in. We look forward to having you back as your travels allow, if I can assist in any way while you are here or prior to your visit please just let me know. Regards. Paul R.

We had a very successful convention thanks a lot to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. Brand new state of the art facility.Very friendly staff. We would love to give 5 stars to Sacha Roper for being exceptionally helpful. Sacha you are caring and very knowledgeable about your work. A pleasant and understanding person. Keep doing your work that way. We enjoyed our stay!

I am the guy who reads all the reviews but never posts my own until today. From the time I checked in until the time I left the staff kept asking how everything was, if i needed anything - have not had that before at any of the other hotels in Fort McMurray and I have been travelling here for years. The food was good and I liked the fact that it was so open. Had couple beer at the bar, probably the best bar prices that I have found so it makes it great to come back to the hotel grab a bite to eat and have a cold beer. Huge gym to work out and steam room to relax which was great after a long day hauling steel. Breakfast had a great selection, been a long time since i had oatmeal and it was delicious, all the toppings were great we never had that kind of selection at home. The rates are actually less than what I was paying at the Clearwater. I will be back for sure like one of the other reviewers said, and it does not hurt a bit that get points for staying !!

The food and beverage team will be happy to hear your feedback, that you enjoyed your meals and also that you appreciated the beverage specials.

If I can be of any assistance at all while you are here or prior to your visit please do not hesitate to give me a call on my direct line at 780 793 3660. Regards, Paul R.

We wanted to try the new Best Western restaurant in Fort McMurray. Place is very nicely decorated, and the staff are very nice. Food is good, but the main meat was a stuffed pork roast. It was a nicely done dish, but because it was under a heat lamp, with no pan of juice under it, it had dried out. Ruined a nice dish. I was not too happy with the dish cleanliness. It took 3 plates to get one that food not have food residue on it. It is likely a dish washer issue. All being said, I will go there again. They just need to nail the important things to be a great restaurant.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. Thank you for coming in to check out Creations, the open concept food and beverage outlet at the Best Western Plus. I appreciate your comments and we will share them with the food and beverage team so that we can ensure a great experience each and every time. I am really disappointed to hear about the dishes, it seems like a glitch in the system but I can assure you that each and every plate will now be checked before it is placed out on the buffet line. I hope you will come back again so that you can see that we took your comments and went to work right away to find a solution - as a paying guest you are the reason we come to work every day, we do not want to meet your expectations, we want to exceed them. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

For the region, this hotel carries about a 30% premium but has a very good location for traveling to the sites. I would not go back, poor attitude from a lot of staff (restaurant staff were great though) and a pay by weight buffet? Wanted to try it but would not go back there unless Nova, Sawridge etc were full.

Hi Rob, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I appreciate your comments and your honesty, and I really would like to get to the bottom of the service issue you encountered - I would love to speak to you directly if you have the time, you can reach me at 780 793 3660, that is my direct line. I am at a loss on your comment about the premium, our rates are very competitive with the hotels in Fort McMurray, we offer both weekly and monthly rates and negotiated rates for our guests who are frequent travelers. We are very proud of our facility and our team but in your case we failed to exceed your expectations and meet the high standards we have set for ourselves, and as a team that is something that we take very seriously. We would appreciate another opportunity to show you that we do indeed value your business and as I noted above I would like the opportunity to speak to you directly. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray

Very clean and modern hotel closer to the Oil Sands with less traffic to fight. User friendly in room devices and an incredible staff! Fitness centre is modern and hotel has very modern facilities right down to the underground dumpsters!!

Good Morning Robert, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your kind comments and we will share them with our team as a learning tool geared to what is working well and what needs to be adjusted. Our location was very carefully selected so that it did in fact add to our guests quality of life, staying with us does cut over 30 minutes each way, of travel time, if you are heading to one of the oil sands sites. That gives you more time to relax from one work day to the next and that really is what we were going for. I really really enjoyed your comment on the waste disposal system that we have, they are called Moluks, I love the fact that there is no longer any banging or loud crashes as there was with the older form of dumpsters, now the exchange is done very quietly and you would not even know it is happening. Not to mention that they do blend in to their surroundings as opposed to sticking out like a sore thumb. We hope to welcome you back as your travels allow and we hope you had a safe journey back to Whitecourt. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

I travel to Fort McMurray often on business and this is the first time I have had the opportunity to stay at the Best Western Plus. From check in to breakfast, the staff was welcoming and very helpful. My room was a beautiful and a very well stalked one bedroom suite, complete with washer and dryer, a beautiful modern kitchen with a dishwasher. The bedroom was bright, had power accessible right on both sides of the bed and the most amazing bed. Six pillows, Six giant, really plush pillows for myself! The bathroom was bright and the entire space was spotless from the lobby to the stairwell. The room was quiet and very cozy, not too large with no empty wasted space. Buffet breakfast was included and was excellent with the genuine and friendly service from the omelette chef to my server. The lounge/restaurant area is open and inviting. Excellent menu and drink selections to unwind. I might be a regular for sure.

Good Morning Angela, Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and that we were able to offer that relaxation needed after a long day on the road ! Our one bedroom suites really are well thought out in both design and detail and it was our hope that our guests would be made to feel at home. I do agree with your comments on the pillows, our female guests love them as they say it makes them feel special, I suspect our male travelers feel the same way but their comments always gravitate to the custom walk in showers - both luxuries for sure ! I am glad that you enjoyed your breakfast and evening down time with us and I will pass along your experiences to our food and beverage team. We hope in fact that you do become a regular guest - that would make our day. If I can assist in any way prior to or during any future reservations please do not hesitate to contact me by using my direct line at 780 793 3660. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Sawridge Suites

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of room and property at this Best Western Plus. Although the checkin was slow, the staff were polite and friendly. There aren't any restaurants around, so expect to drive to some nearby neighbourhoods.

I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate the quality and size of our Suites.

As your travels allow I do hope that you will give us an opportunity to show you that we have taken your comments seriously and that our check in now exceeds not only your but also our expectations.

Nice big rooms with lots of room to work in. Free bottle water each night. Breakfast was included with room cost. Buffet style breakfast only complaint breakfast opens at 6:30 am but they don't cook omeletes until 7 am that is a little late when going to the plants. lots of surface parking with under ground coming in the future.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to review the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. We appreciate your comments and we will share them with our team as a learning tool of what is working and what needs to be adjusted to better suit the needs of our guests. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed our suites and I do agree there is plenty of room to work while you are away from home. Our breakfast actually starts at 6:00am for our early risers and for those who have to leave extra early we have hot breakfast sandwiches made fresh each morning available in our Outpost Market along with freshly brewed coffee ready to go. You can exchange your breakfast coupon so you don't miss out on that all important hot breakfast. The omelet station is something that we are testing to see if our guests would prefer that over the other selections that we offer and that is why it is set with specific hours - guest feedback determines any and all changes that we make, so we really do appreciate your comments on our complimentary breakfast. We hope that you will visit us again as your travels allow. Regards Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Brilliant well designed property with friendly staff and great food. Rooms are perfectly set up for a short or long stay with obvious thought put in to the design. Fitness center is adequately equipped but could maybe have a few extras such as exercise balls or maybe a smith machine for barbell movements. Hands down the nicest property in Fort McMurray and I have done business here for years. Congrats to the Best Western!
