The fitness centre and free parking are included, and some rooms offer city views.

Edson is not a golf destination in itself, but the Nova Inn serves well as a single-night base for golfers driving the Yellowhead Highway corridor toward Hinton and the mountain courses near Jasper.

The 24-hour front desk and ATM are practical for early tee-time logistics.

Family rooms and free private parking are available, and the reception can assist with local activity planning including skiing in the shoulder season.

Cold Lake is approximately a 2-hour drive northeast of Edmonton. This hotel suits golfers who want to combine a northern Alberta round with the casino and lake activities the area offers, rather than those building a pure multi-course itinerary.
