Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

West, Fort Nelson Fri, 9 September 2011

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 Mon, 22 August 2011

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

Very poor

Liked: It's a cheap motel there is no restaurants
Disliked: When we got to our home we checked our credit card statement and saw that this motel had charged us without notification $40.95 CAD. I called the motel and they said it was for damage. I asked what damage and the receptionist said we stained 2 towels. The towels were dirty but nothing that would have come out in the wash so we feel they were scamming us. I have informed my bank.

Trouble Sleeping since Trucks/Cars driving...

Liked: Asked for extra pillows said NO. Was put in the last room at the end of the 2nd floor right beside the noisy highway. Heard cars and trucks all night long not getting any sleep. The TV was broken as the cable kept cutting in and out. No hot water for a shower. The bed was too soft and the mattress was sagging in that gave me a sore back in the morning.
