Economy Inn

Affordable Comfort Close to the Edmonton Music Scene

Modern essentials meet wallet-friendly pricing at Economy Inn, a no-fuss 2-star stay located just 3.2 miles from Edmonton’s vibrant Whyte Avenue. With free WiFi, free parking, and air-conditioned rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, this hotel keeps things simple but practical. Whether you’re in town for a big show or a weekend of live music, it’s a convenient base without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and Economy Inn delivers. Just a short drive from major venues like the Shaw Conference Centre and Whyte Avenue hotspots, you won’t have to worry about long late-night commutes. Plus, with free parking and easy highway access, getting a rideshare or driving in is a breeze. The quiet residential setting means you can actually get some sleep after the encore, and the check-in time of 2:00 PM gives you time to settle in before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a low-cost home base
• Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who need a quiet space to recover post-concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value essentials over frills

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Thai restaurant is a hidden gem — perfect for grabbing a flavorful bite before or after a show. Vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options are available on request. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ve got a coffee machine in every room and plenty of delivery options nearby. Breakfast isn’t advertised, but morning coffee is sorted.

Nightlife Options

Whyte Avenue’s bars and lounges are just a short Uber ride away, offering everything from chill pubs to high-energy clubs. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or a bar, the quiet atmosphere makes it a great place to wind down after a night out.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, comfy beds, and value for money. Many reviews highlight the friendly staff and convenient location. Repeat visitors say it’s a solid choice for short stays when you're out most of the night anyway. No-frills, but it gets the job done.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills budget stay, so don’t expect luxury extras. There's no gym or pool, and the décor is dated in spots. Some guests mention that the area feels a bit quiet at night — great for light sleepers, maybe less ideal if you’re looking to keep the party going.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to a concert and just need a clean, convenient, and budget-friendly place to crash, Economy Inn hits the right notes.
