I meant to book my husband and me into the Metterra for our 34th anniversary and when i saw the "Flash Sale" on facebook i saw the "M" in Matrix and excitedly booked! (hey it was a great deal). Imagine my chagrin when i checked the reservation 1 day prior and realized we were not staying at the Metterra on Whyte Ave (where we could enjoy the Fringe Festival easily), but at the Matrix, which is downtown Edmonton. Well, what a wonderful surprise the Matrix was! AND it was only a 3.1 km walk to Whyte Ave so we got our exercise! The experience was first class from our check-in to our check-out! There was a complimentary bottle of wine because it was our anniversary; the room was awesome, with a comfy king sized bed; the bathroom was spotless; the wine tasting did not disappoint, and the Breakfast was fabulous! (I don't usually get up for a 'breakfast included' deal but this was totally worth it!). Everything is included: internet, wine tasting, breakfast, and parking -- even downtown! this place is fabulous.
Try it; you'll love it.
