The room seemed clean and roomy. We had 2 queen beds, they were comfortable. Looked like the rooms had a few upgrades. There was no where to hang a towel. Parking lot was full every night and it was difficult to find a parking place. Breakfast area is very tiny and too many tables so crowded. It was a hot breakfast and good selection. The first morning they were out of coffee and the girl was just running to keep up. Fairly quiet; it was packed so we did hear some people in the hallway in the mornings. This hotel was close to where we were visiting so that was the reason we stayed here.
Although it was a very comfortable bed and very good continental breakfast this hotel really need an upgrade. The furniture is very old and scuffed up, the shower head and sink is rusty and old . They offer old school dvd’s to watch movies but it’s complicated to figure out the tv/dvd to use it. When you google search this hotel it says that there is a pool. But no there isn’t. It really is quite dated and the entire hotel needs a reno. The one good thing is that the staff are super nice .
We (my husband & I) were on our way back from Montreal (business trip). Trip was Alberta to Montreal & back. We had been on a business/family trip to Toronto just two weeks previously. After spending our money on completely OVER PRICED Best Western/Hampton Inn hotels for most of both trips, I was ready to sleep in our truck instead of another one for our last hotel stay! We didn’t use pools/fitness rooms/laundry facilities , yet were paying ridiculous prices for those “amenities”! Not to mention that the Hampton Inn DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY BREAKFAST for $200+! We had stayed at the “CANAD INNS” in Brandon, MB on our way East for the first stop on our first trip, with our children. THAT was such a horrible experience, so much so that after bringing our experience /events to management, they refunded our hotel charge! SO, when I reluctantly looked for a hotel on the last stop of our second trip, (14 hours per day of driving each way for 6-8 days), even though I was seriously considering sleeping in our truck to avoid yet another high priced hotel stay, I FOUND THIS “MOTEL 6” in Brandon, MB! From the wonderful GREETING by both front desk (male) attendants, to the bowl of fresh fruit offered at front desk at check in/check out, to the AMAZING/CLEAN/SPACIOUS HOTEL ROOM, to the SOFT/FLUFFY/XTRA LARGE BATH TOWELS, to the FREE, WELL STOCKED BREAKFAST, to the SUPER LARGE PARKING LOT both for domestic & large commercial trucks (which we had one of each), I ONLY WISH I HAD FOUND THIS HOTEL AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR FIRST TRIP! When I called to inquire for a room (we couldn’t pre-book on our way back as the condition of the commercial truck we purchased was unsure), the front desk stated they were out of rooms with one king/queen bed, so he could offer Us a room with TWO Queen beds for same price! SOLD! We had been paying $150-200-+ for 13 (2 separate trips) of our previous hotel room stays! MOTEL 6 came to $115 all in! I am so in regret for having not found MOTEL 6 to have been able to (when applicable) stay at this hotel (it’s a hotel, not motel as in name), for most of our stays! THANK YOU to the GM of this hotel (whom I believe was the one who checked Us in, as we came in just before 10pm & he was there the next morning again at our checkout!)! You & your other front desk staff, both at check in & check out, made Us feel WELCOME whereas many of the front desk staff at many of our previous hotel stays (for $150-200+?) DID NOT DO SO! I have since told family members of mine in Manitoba about this hotel & asked them to spread the word about this wonderful MOTEL 6! (If they don’t require many amenities for a stay)! We travel to MB to visit family members (not as much as we should), & we will be sure to ONLY be staying at this MOTEL 6 in Brandon, MB, when we require!
We love staying at the Best Western Hotels because we always get great service, good price for the stay, and we love the included hot breakfast with our stay. The kids love the waterslide and the swimming pool. This location has a taller/bigger/faster waterslide vs some of the other Manitoba locations. We love the new coffee machine at the front desk that is available 24/7, it does have decaf options, and hot chocolate for the kids! The pet rate is a bit high at $25, and this hotel is a bit on the pricier side compared to other BW locations. The rooms are always very clean, and newer looking, the staff is always very helpful and nice. We never had any issues with service at a Best Western hotel. This location also has lots of grassy area near by to take your pet out . Conveniently located on the #1 HWY and there are some fast food places walking distance.
