Hampton Inn & Suites Edmonton/West
A practical Edmonton stay for a waterpark weekend
About this hotel
West Edmonton Mall, home to World Waterpark, sits about 3 km from the property, close enough to fold a slides afternoon into the rest of the day without losing the morning to driving. The hotel's own pool takes the edge off a cold Edmonton evening once the wave pool has closed for the night, so the swimming doesn't stop the moment the family leaves the mall. Family rooms give toddlers a cot within reach of the adults and give teenagers a bit of their own space, which matters after a day spent going up and down the same stairs to the wave pool. Pets travel too, which is not something every waterpark stay in this city offers, and it is the detail that decides the booking for families who will not leave the dog behind.

Our take
About 3 km from West Edmonton Mall and World Waterpark, Hampton Inn & Suites Edmonton/West offers a kids' splash zone, an on-site pool, family rooms, free parking and pet-friendly rooms, with a buffet breakfast that includes vegetarian options. Guests rate it 8.7 from 314 reviews. I recommend it to families who want a solid breakfast before a full day of slides and a pool back at the hotel.
- ✓Confirm the pet policy directly if travelling with a dog, since charges can apply even where pets are allowed.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the lift if a nap is on the schedule after a long morning in the wave pool.
- ✓Eat breakfast before you leave, since a full slides day burns through energy faster than a normal one.
Why we love it
- On-site fitness centre
- Family rooms sized for a slides trip
- Its own pool for a second swim
- Pet-friendly rooms
Why guests love itThe honest version of a stay at Hampton Inn & Suites Edmonton/West: everyone is tired, everyone is a little sunburnt from the wave pool, and the last thing anyone wants is a complicated hotel. Family rooms and a predictable drive to World Waterpark cover what actually matters on a slides trip. It is a base, run well, for a holiday that happens mostly somewhere else.
