Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

West, Fort Nelson

Desk staff didn't give much information about the building or breakfast. Available parking was limited.

Liked: close to mount royal u for taking my son
Disliked: Bathroom door had poor repairs to three punch holes. Door didn't close. There was hair and tissue paper on bathroom floor and dirt on the heater in bathroom. Very noisy neighbours and house keeping was done after 4:30 pm.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Sharon R, Edmonton

Liked: Very close to Chinook Centre and some good restaurants.
Disliked: Where to begin? The shower curtain was mouldy, the bathroom door had a hole in it and wouldn't close, the number of towels were inadequate, the carpet was stained, the light bulbs in the room were very low wattage, every night was party night for our neighbours, the "continental breakfast" was bread, limited cereal, very watery coffee and dry chocolate chip cookies, our key cards never worked and had to be fixed every day. We renamed it the POS Hotel - figure it out!

Owner cranky and let us know that Howard Johnson corp takes too much of percentage and that he has to charge everything that he can so that he could make any money...he cancelled our check in cards a day early had to get new ones and mentioned to the girl and she said he complains even to them..my suggestion is not to let his relatives stay there and fill with paying customers and treat them w/respect..

Liked: Nice desk girls
Disliked: Rooms did not get vacuumed the whole 3 days

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Affordable and you basically get...

Liked: It was an affordable place to sleep for the night. Bed was comfortable.
Disliked: Not really a dislike per se, but it is obvious the place is older and could use an update, but again it is an affordable place to stay for a night so I’m not complaining. The walls are a little thin so sound travels more than you might like so if you need absolute quiet when you sleep it might not be a place for you. It wasn’t very disruptive for me, but just putting it out there.

Please unlist this place

Liked: There was an AC unit in my room, and I didnt really have to interact with anyone after arriving
Disliked: They scammed me, charging me for pre-existing stains, and for taking a blanket that I didnt take (i came on short notice, no car, no bags, and yet they still say "well, blankets not there, gotta charge you 70". Im an idiot for not checking the 1.2k reviews that average to 2/5
