Maybe you could shortlist a few and ask for personal experiences? Sorry I can't help further as I haven't stayed in Edmonton.

Good luck,

Try Tripadviser.co.uk, We used this as it gave peoples experiences of hotels they stayed in and also the prices, it should give you a good idea.

Yes, great suggestion - I've made hotel reservations in several countries based on reviews posted on www.TripAdvisor.co.uk - note it's spelled with an o not an e! - and it hasn't let me down yet (fingers crossed for the hotel I've booked for when I arrive in Vancouver...! :unsure:)

there are no b+b's as you would know them, canadian version would be a motel, rather than hotel, however generally speaking the likelihood of you coming across prostitution, drugs and gang crime in such a place is high. i'm afraid you will have to spend a bit and stay in a hotel, the various plaza hotels on and around jasper ave in the city are all i would recommend.

oh dear, these are a collection of peoples 3-4 bedroom houses, where you get a room, i suppose that is a b+b thinking about it, but if you saw the state of some of the homes, i do not think it would conjure the image you may have. one in particular halfway down the listings in Capilano is where i work, charming neighborhood, only there the other day to kick a drug crazed alcoholic from a basement where he was boarding funnily enough.

Dear All

We stayed in a B&B in Edmonton for 4 months when we first arrived, and it was brilliant. Much better than the hotels we tried in our first week. We stayed at both Grays Haven and A Secret Garden. They were gorgeous, clean, convenient and run by fabulous families who were a fantastic source of info and support. No drugs or downbeat flophouses, these were luxurious accommodations which were much cheaper than virtually all the hotels we contacted. GIVE B AND B's A CHANCE. Check out their website at www.bbedmonton.com

Like another poster has advised, if you list the ones that you like, maybe someone can help with location etc

good luck ;)
