I quite enjoyed the room—particularly the floors, as the dingy carpet so typical in these chain hotels had been removed. This gave the room a much cleaner, modern, and appealing vibe. Lots of space for office work with plenty of plug ins. From my 26th floor room, the view was great. Bed is comfy. I do wish that the hotel would provide a plain kettle for boiling water. I am a tea drinker not coffee, and boiling water in those little ‘coffee makers’ is very awkward, not to speak of the lingering coffee aftertaste. There was a fridge but no microwave. No safe. Unfortunately the restaurant which I only tried once was TRULY mediocre. For wine lovers, don’t bother—they only had 1-2 selections of horrible wine. Go with beer — much safer. My main issue is that the location of the hotel has become quite troubling, with many First Nations individuals in the area, many clearly suffering from substance abuse. Often they were congregated around the doors, and there seemed to be very little in the way of security. As a solo female traveller, I felt unsafe. Even during the day, there were two fights that broke out nearby during my four day stay. Very sad and unfortunate but I would not elect to stay here again until this situation improves.
Outside hotel was littered with trash. People milling around in and around lobby. Hotel was an evacuation centre for a northern reserve due to forest fire. Our room was scheduled on third floor and with a comment on the evacuees being on that floor we requested to be moved to another floor which the desk attendant gladly granted. The elevator was littered with trash. A huge footprint on the elevator door. Security was on each floor. Our floor was quiet. Our room was nicely prepared. Around 11 pm the police arrived to break up an altercation in the front entrance of the hotel. Paramedics and the fire truck arrived to assist. Male was stabbed by a female and both were cuffed and removed by police. People were out front until well passed 2:30am. Lots of sirens all night long. It was a tiring night. They comped us with free breakfast but did not go as previous reviews said breakfast was not worth the effort. We will not be returning.
Wonderful food, remarkable staff, from front desk to housekeeping to management. Was there for an event, and the entire team made you feel appreciated. You could also see how they appreciated each other as well. Will definitely return there!
SsusanwaltertGreat place to stay for a night or a week. We stayed 6 nights and were pleased with all the amenities, the hospitality, and everything about the property. There were 3 rooms , with a shared bathroom, and a kitchen area, plus a sitting room. Outside there was a lovely pool and hot tub. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the place was very clean and well kept. Definitely would recommend staying here.
JJess CollinsGood service, clean rooms, as expected. The 24 hour coffee machine is nice. Hot tub and pool area were clean and a nice space to hang out after a long day of driving. Cost was good for the night; ended up being stuck in town for another day due to a blizzard and the price jumped significantly online for our second night - spoke to the front desk and they were kind enough to offer us a 25% discount. Not a fancy place, but we always like to stay here when traveling through with our dogs.
