Radisson Hotel & Suites Fort McMurray
A pool with a waterslide built for family evenings
About this stay
The waterslide is the detail that sets this property apart from the recovery-focused hot tub hotels elsewhere in Wood Buffalo: it's aimed squarely at families rather than shift workers looking for a quiet soak. Suites add space beyond a standard room, and room service means an evening in doesn't require a trip downstairs at all. It sits four minutes by taxi from the Oil Sands Discovery Centre and fourteen minutes from YMM airport, comfortably within the main convenience band. An airport shuttle is listed among the facilities, though its schedule is worth confirming directly by phone rather than assumed to run continuously through the day. Free WiFi and parking are included throughout, keeping the total cost of a family stay predictable against a nightly rate that already sits above the region's simpler roadside motels.

Our take
This is the pick for a family that wants the pool to actually be a destination rather than an afterthought, waterslide included, plus room service for evenings when nobody wants to go back out. It's a less natural fit for a solo shift worker after a long day who wants a quiet hot tub rather than a lively family pool deck. The airport shuttle is a genuine convenience if it runs on the schedule quoted, worth verifying ahead of arrival.
- ✓Confirm the airport shuttle's actual schedule by phone before relying on it for an early flight.
- ✓Book a suite rather than a standard room if travelling with kids and needing the extra space.
- ✓Visit the pool earlier in the evening if you want it quieter before the family crowd arrives.

Why guests love itRadisson Hotel & Suites Fort McMurray is a 4-star roadside hotel on the Gregoire Drive corridor, rated 7.6 across 351 reviews. Its pool with a waterslide is the clear family draw, with a hot tub next to it for the adults. Suites give a family more room than a standard double, and the eatery, restaurant and room service cover meals without driving. Free WiFi and parking keep things simple. I would choose it for a family visit to Fort McMurray that needs an indoor activity.
