I only spent one night at the Sawridge Fort McMurray and found the room to be quiet, the bed very comfortable, pillows were great also. The shower did start to squeal 3/4 of the way through my shower. The down side is that it is in the industrial area so there is not a lot to do close (within a couple of blocks of) the hotel.

There is an exercise room but very small. They do not have a mat where you can do stretching or floor exercises, and they do not have anything to wipe down the equipment after you're done.

The pool is small and the hot tub is a jacuzzi tub similar to one you would purchase and put in your backyard, both in the open courtyard.

Ate the Fish & Chips in the bar and it was very good.

One encounter with front desk staff was good, the next person, not so good. The good, I called to ask about the water in the room and the lady offered me a cold water if I wanted to come get it. Staff were surprised when I did this! The not so good. My place of business was 1.6 KM towards the airport down the same street the hotel is on. I asked if the shuttle would drop me off. The front desk needed to check. Later advised me yes they would drop me off and told me the shuttle was at 8:30 AM. I must admit I was rushing to make 8:30 but I got to the front right at 8:30 AM by their clock time and mine but she advised me they already left. Said there were 3 ppl for the airport (airport is 8 min drive) so they left. Thus, I walked the 1.6 KM with suitcase in tow!

Okay for one night but for long term.

We stayed at the Sawridge Inn in Fort McMurray as a precusor to the Oil Sands Tour and were delighted with the hotel; its proximity (across the street!) to the Oil Sands Discovery Center; and the great service.
We had a fantastic dinner in the hotel restaurant and loved the breakfast buffets.

Stayed at Saw Ridge for one night and very pleased with room and food. Breakfast buffet is extremly good. Dinner was very good. Easy access off of Rt 63. Room was very clean, staff was excellent at the desk, lounge and dining.

I have stayed at this hotel several times the past few years, usually because meetings are in the hotel. I really like the look of the outside and it is very nicely decorated with Native artwork; gorgeous. The reception staff has greatly improved over the past year or so, as they used to have a rather unfriendly attitude. The breakfast buffet is the best meal here. I've had less luck ordering meals from the menu.
This time, I was very disappointed that the business class NON-smoking 3rd floor room smelled so badly of stale smoke. As soon as I walked into the wing of the hotel in fact, the smoky smell was obvious. Either this wing was only recently converted to non-smoking, or customers just ignore the fact that the rooms are non-smoking. Also this time, staff were very loudly doing some sort of work in the hall way, talking loudly and slamming doors, and this was at 10:00 pm! After about an hour, thank goodness, they stopped and I got a decent sleep.
