The "breakfast" in "bed and breakfast" makes all the difference at the White Pelican B & B. First, Janet tells you that breakfast can be just about anything you really like. Next, whatever that is, she prepares and serves with a caring you will NEVER see in a hotel. White Pelican has made me a B & B believer!

So this is not a B&B as much as it is a room to rent with access to a kitchen. That said it's got…read moreso great things going for it. Each room has its on bathroom which is nice. There is parking in the back. There is plenty of stores and such withing walking distance. You will need to shop as the kitchen is supposed to have food but is lacking badly. There are 2 refrigerators and there was a hodge podge of stuff. Some of it very old. Can't tell if it's for everyone or if it was someones personal food. Plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans. Very clean and if the other guest had been a little friendlier it could be a fun stay. I'll stay here again for the comfort, price, and convenience. ps. There was plenty of coffee so you can brew all you want

Sausage that is freshly made, homemade pancakes along with rhubarb hash and a berry sauce. Don't forget the fresh fruit, coffee and juice. WOW, one can't ask for anything more! YES, we would recommend staying here if you are in the area. Wish we just had another night stay so we could have enjoyed the charming back yard. Both Deb and Bill do a great job. Stayed September 2016, traveled as a couple (sorry for delay)

This is a friendly, cozy spot to stay in Saskatoon. Even though we arrived quite late, we were…read moregreeted by Debbie & Bill with hugs, tea and freshly-baked muffins. Our bedroom was tidy and comfortable, with a mattress warmer and cozy fleece sheets, and a couple of Ferrero Rochers chocolates (a nice touch). The shared bathroom was spotless and nicely outfitted with extra soaps, etc. Breakfast (served at 7:30) was outstanding: pancakes with a blackberry-pecan sauce; baked pineapple; bacon; Greek yoghurt with nuts, seeds and granola; coffee/tea and juice. They had soy milk for coffee & were well-prepared for dairy-free guests, which was a nice bonus. I definitely recommend staying here if you are passing through Saskatoon.

First off, I would like to point out some of the good things about Netty's Nest. This place is…read moreconveniently located and is a short walk from downtown. It is also easily accessible and is not hard to find. The staff is nice and friendly. In my experience, I had no major problems and everything went as planned. The place is also clean. However, there are many things to improve. I can't say that there is an abundance of alternatives in Saskatoon, but I will tell it like it is in hope that the business improves. Wi-fi. There is a 500 MB / 5 devices cap during 48 hours. This in and of itself is a problem, even if you don't use internet it all. It does not feel good to be subject to unduly restrictions. If there is a genuine problem with internet bandwidth that for some reason can't be resolved at the moment, it is much more service friendly to restrict the speed of the internet and not the data plan. I did not plan to download anything major, but after a few Skype calls and browsing I still ran out of data in about 10 hours. Parking. There is a hidden $5 charge for parking that will be announced the moment you pay for the room. I did not feel that this was an in-demand area in terms of parking and it seemed to me that the street right nearby had free street parking. They only have parking stalls out in the back and the stalls are small. My car is 4.94 m long and her back was protruding out of the parking spot. It was amusing to see them giving out a "parking pass" you have to put on the dashboard considering that they only have about 5 stalls. Take your shoes off. They have carpets everywhere and signs telling you to take your shoes off. Not only this is inconvenient for the customer, but it also makes area hard to clean for the staff. Shared bathrooms/kitchen. I saw the website before and I was not aware that they are shared. Nothing impressive there. No 24 HR/service. Self-explanatory. Not beautiful. The rooms are not nice. They bought all the necessary stuff to mark off their checklists, but the way it is put together just lacks style and the sense of completeness. TV. They have a decent-sized TV with lots of channels. I felt this was excessive considering that they don't offer basic things like unlimited internet. Value for money. I felt that the value for money is very low.

WARNING! Cash Upfront Demanded, Refund Refused, No Business Licence!!…read more I contacted Mari on September 4th, 2014 and was asked to pay up front via online banking for four nights. We had a phone conversation and verbally agreed upon a arrival time on September 8th. No paper trail. I arrived at the agreed upon time and no one was home. No cell number provided for contact. I waited 20mins then booked accommodations elsewhere. When I spoke to Mari that night she first claimed I had the time wrong, then admitted her mistake and agreed to refund. She did not refund my money the next day. The following day I talked to her face to face and she claimed to not have enough money to refund me and I would have to wait until that night. She said she could not refund me via online banking due to PST issues and I would have to come back and take cash. I called that night and she still did not have the money but said she would very soon as someone was checking in within minutes and would pay her. Not sure why they didn't have to pay up front. As I was leaving town I went to the house again and asked to be paid by noon the next day or I was contacting the Better Business Bureau. She proceeded to get angry, claimed it was rude to come to a private home and make demands and that if I pushed her I would never see my money and she would ruin my reputation on the internet. I left. Every time we talked she changed her story regarding my arrival time, why she couldn't refund my money and why she wasn't home at the appointment time. Today I contacted the City of Saskatoon and found out she is running the business without a proper licence. I then filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Why not up a shelf so you don't have to get on hands and knees to use it? Go back to the I-loved list. Those are the great things about this place.
