Clearwater Suite Hotel
Downtown suites, a spa, and the casino five minutes away
About this stay
Clearwater Suite Hotel is the rare property in this market that pairs a genuinely downtown position with wellness amenities most Wood Buffalo hotels simply don't offer: a spa and an exercise room alongside balconied suites. It sits five minutes' walk from both Rivers Casino & Entertainment Centre and Fort McMurray's downtown core, and one minute from Montana's BBQ & Bar for dinner. Pet-friendly status and free parking round out a property built for a settled, multi-night stay rather than a quick overnight. At 22 minutes from YMM airport, it's the furthest downtown option from the terminal, a trade-off worth accepting for the walkable position and spa it offers over the highway corridor.

Our take
This is the pick for a wellness-focused or leisure stay that wants downtown walkability, a spa and a short walk to the casino floor all in one property. It's a poor fit for a same-day business trip needing the shortest possible airport run, since the highway corridor beats it by close to ten minutes on that measure alone. The balconied suites are a genuine step up from the standard motor-inn rooms found elsewhere in the city.
- ✓Book the spa well ahead if it's the reason for the stay; it's the region's only rated spa currently.
- ✓Walk to Montana's BBQ & Bar, one minute away, rather than eating in on the first night.
- ✓Budget the longer 22-minute taxi run to YMM if flying out early the next morning.
Why we love it
- The region's only on-site spa
- Five minutes from Rivers Casino
- Balconied suites with real space
- Genuinely walkable downtown position
Why guests love itSuites with balconies, a spa and an exercise room give the Clearwater Suite Hotel more comfort than most downtown Fort McMurray addresses. Breakfast and WiFi are free, and a lounge and bar are on site for adults. Downtown walkability is the main asset, with Rivers Casino & Entertainment Centre five minutes away. It holds 8.0 from 239 reviews. I would choose it for a family that wants to walk to dinner and still have space.
