Air-conditioned family rooms give everyone space, the saltwater indoor pool and hot tub keep children happy before or after a flight, and the family-friendly restaurant serves American dishes at dinner, with a bar for parents. Free private parking helps if you are driving in, and WiFi is free. A guest score of 8.8 from 711 reviews is excellent for an airport hotel.

The 8.8 score from 277 reviews suits a weekend built around a game or a concert.

I would choose it for families who plan to spend time at West Edmonton Mall but prefer a quieter place to sleep.

Rooms at the Element by Marriott Edmonton West come with sofa beds and seating areas, which I find useful when parents and children share one room.
