I'm not kidding when I say thousands of Bugs EVERYWHERE the room probably hasn't seen the light of day in years I immediately requested my money back this place is the most unhygienic property I've ever seen the pictures are NOT OF THE ROOMS AT ALL. I booked a jacuzzi suite and they said it was more expensive than what I paid for. But that's what I booked that place needs to be torn down if the carpenter ants don't chew through the building first. We were ABSOLUTELY BAFFLED

Don't be fooled by the offer of a kitchenette. There are no dishes or utensils or anything whatsoever to prepare a meal with. Did not get the room I booked. Very disappointing stay.

The heater did not work. There was no housekeeping so the coffee supplies and paper cups weren’t replenished and the kitchenette was not equipped. No toaster or dish soap. No coffee cups, Kleenex or paper towels or dish towels or dish cloths

It was hands down one of the sketchiest places I have ever stayed and it was more expensive than a lot of other nicer places in the area, I only picked it because the photos make it look decent and I was able to use a booking credit for some of the cost. The outlets didn’t work in the room, the bedding was filthy, the microwave/mini fridge were filthy, the door had been broken through and the door frame was cracked apart and the bolt was ripped from the wall while the door itself had almost a dozen baseball sized dents that looked like they were made by a hammer, it was SO LOUD all night because of the clientele, multiple drug transactions took place in the parking lot, I was followed to my room and harassed multiple times by people who were under the influence, and I had to move my car across the parking lot for fear of a 20ft length of rain gutter tearing itself of the roof in the wind and landing on my car because it was hanging down a few feet

Looks good on the outside, however the room had a bad oder more like smoke in a non-smoking room. The sink and tub drained very slow. The mattress needed replacing, was a bit worn. The light switch plate was broken and needed replacing. Door seal was inadequate allowing light and air to come through.

The guy that did check in had to phone someone because he didn’t know how to complete the check in process which caused a 10 minute delay. The room stinks of cigarettes even though it is apparently a non-smoking room. There are dents in the doors, walls, fixtures. There is paint missing from gouges on the walls. TV didn’t work and had to have maintenance help. There are rough and colourful people around the property at all hours of the day and night. People could be heard yelling at each other in the middle of the night, outside and inside the rooms. I would not recommend or stay here again.

Was very happy with the cleanliness of the room, the spaciousness of the room and the price. I travel for work on a budget and have booked similarly priced hotels in red deer before to great disappointment and feeling unsafe and unclean. This motel didn’t have any of that and was the same price. This will be the motel I stay in in red deer moving forward.
