A spacious and attractive lobby makes an inviting impression. Our room, with a balcony, faced the back side of the hotel. It offered a beautiful view of the grounds and mountains. The dining room and outdoor seating has the same great view. The staff was gracious and accommodating.

It was clean and spacious. No restaurant but the other hotel beside it has a restaurant welcoming the public, like 30 seconds across the parking lot. Feel confident in parking my car here. Very happy.

Overall everything was good for a one night stay while traveling. Refurbished older hotel. Low ceilings, tiny bathroom. Breakfast was good. Staff was excellent.

We stayed in a pet room. It was clean. The air from the ac unit smelled awful, like urine. The screen door was broken so we couldn’t leave the patio door open. The breakfast was made to order and very good!

I specifically called to confirm they were On the TransCanada Highway, the guest service person barely must have listened to my question, she giggled and said "We are right On the highway".... not the highway I was asking. They are very far away from the main areas of town with restaurants and other services. Quite remote. When I spoke to complain to the sales manager he said his staff needs to clarify to guests that they are away from the main area right close to the airport, a bit remote.
Two area doors to our room stairs were closed/blocked off, it was 11pm at night we couldn't understand where we could park and go in... leaving us to go around and around the building looking for an open entrance! The hotel is old and run down, with subprime upgrades.
The value for the quality of this hotel is POOR. Not worth the money spent. Our room had a foul smell not sure if it was cleaning agents or pets or just old and tired. bathroom was tiny, with large tub that had dirty caulking around the tub, and tub did not drain well as well had damage that had been painted over. I mentioned all this to the sales manager who said he would call me back Once he addressed it as the room had been fully renovated. He didn't call me back so I called back twice and finally he answered. He brushed off the smell saying that his cleaning head person went there and there isn't any smell. This a blatant lie. He was unhelpful and didn't care. I was bushed off!

This property is outside of the city and thats the best part. It's under construction according to the sign in the lobby and another sign states no aggressive behavior will be tolerated. Made me think the staff might be aggressive as well. This is a best western, same towles and sheets as the others I've stayed in across the country, but double the price. This is also the first hotel I've stayed at with no microwave, i didn't know i had to check the description for that but i do now.

This place was not worth the money - it would have been okay at a cheaper rate but not at $259. Carpet in hallway has rank smell, room is showing it’s age. However the restaurant was good.
5.0 / 5.0
The only disappointing thing was the food for me , I had the open face turkey sandwich, when it came I would’ve assumed a bit of come with something. It was a piece of white bread, three slices of turkey and gravy that’s all that’s on the plate $18 take a little much probably wasn’t more than two dollars worth of items at Macs probably should’ve sent it back but I was hungry from driving 12 hours, the other meals was a club sandwich and she said it was OK and then the other one had a Reuben and said it was OK as well. Also $18 each which we all agreed was expensive. That being said our overall expectation of the hotel was greatly met.
5.0 / 5.0
Great front staff! Check in was very smooth. Room was clean, something I look for in every hotel, clean beds, clean bathroom, shower area.
Dining area was ok, dated inside the building, patio was nice, but very slow service. The people working there seemed a bit overworked, therefore we waited a long time to be seated and order taken, waitresses just walked by us multiple times without acknowledging us, did not even greet us. A lady who seemed to be the manager took us to a table, had to wait for it to be cleaned, etc. very nice lady. What’s odd is, there was only 7 tables both inside & out, and three waitresses. So it shouldn’t have been this slow.
But all and all, we would stay here again.
