The room I had was on the back side of the property. It had very poor internet connectivity which was something I had called to inquire about prior to booking and was told it was great. There was a large gap between the door and door frame where flies and wasps were getting into the room. They did end up moving me me but I was not comfortable here

Some stains on the sheets and rips in comforters on both beds. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. There was a lot of flies and wasps outside the doors by parking lot. The kitchenette really didn't have much for utensils and pans. Had to buy a knife because there's was dull and no cutting board.

We were situated at the back of the building where all the recycle and garage containers are. Your not looking at a tidy area for sure. The other thing was the bed. Very uncomfortable.

HORRIBLE
Our room was filthy!! You had to keep your shoes on in the room as the floor was filthy. We couldn't wear shoes to bed, so when you had to walk on these filthy floors your feet came out black from the dirt. This was a pet friendly room we were forced into even though we had ne pet and wanted to be moved. The Hotel refused. We ended up with flea bites and a allergic reaction to the dog dirt and hair in the room. This on top of torn sheets as well. The breakfast in this hotel was the WORST that we have experienced on our weeks of travel so far. We will never return to this horrible hotel.

Check in was good and the room we were given was around the back, away from the street, and quite large. I appreciated no carpet and having a chair to sit in. The bathroom had a very old, TINY shower but good water pressure. That night there was a very loud concert around the corner so we weren’t able to sleep until 10:30 but they did obey the quiet hours.

Passing thru
This was a one night stop while driving from Waterton to Vancouver. Pros: Room was large! Tons of room for all our gear including a separate little area with a mini fridge (with a freezer that worked!), microwave, small sink, and coffee pot. The AC was awesome (it was over 100 degrees F/39C! The breakfast was lovely and just enough without being overwhelming. Cons: Our room was in the back (initially a huge pro so we didn't hear any road noise). The amount of flies and bees surrounding our vehicle was a nuisance but it was the smell of the dumpsters nearby that was nauseating. I'm guessing this is only a summer issue due to the heat. It didn't bother me as much as it did my husband. I would stay again but my husband said no way. The staff was lovely and hard working. I appreciated their attention to detail and getting us checked in a few minutes early.
