Matrix Hotel - Edmonton

Over the family day long weekend, we decided to venture to Edmonton, Alberta. 3 1/2 hours on a greyhound bus from Calgary. We stayed at the Matrix Hotel, which is just off of Jasper Avenue, the main street of Edmonton. Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta - but is smaller than Calgary (1.08M)

The hotel we stayed in was great - very new and modern. Although we had a couple of issues:

- our pass would not work. so we got a new pass. and the new pass wouldn't work. we went up and down the elevator three times!
- they didn't clean our room the first day (and I missed out on a goody bag, which i found out was just filled with a newspaper!). We think this was either because they couldn't get in to our room (issue #1) or it was because we checked in so late the night before (ok, well the same morning really).

BUT the continental breakfasts we got with our stay was fantastic! It had hot food (hmmm... that isn't continental is it?) And Shan had fun with the long pillow on our bed (see the 2nd photo)
