Cheque and Mark were amazing! So was the breakfast guy! Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
We came here as a family of four with two young children, so we booked a room with a bunk bed, and my boys loved it so much. It is very roomy and spacious. Despite being in the middle of a busy road, this hotel is so quiet, probably because the walls are noise-cancelling, which is so worth the extra cost when you're visiting a city. They also have a swimming pool, and breakfast is actually satisfying. Don't forget the service was also great. Highly recommended for family !!
I’m giving this hotel a well-deserved 5-star rating because of the exceptional service we received, especially from Rosevel. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly helpful, professional, and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks also to the kitchen staff for the wonderful food and service!
the room was decent but we had one problem if you get room#104 the plumbing is crap you have to sit there and prees and hold the button to flush the toilet for about 5 MINUTES before you can leave it. we didn't really need any service. The pool temp was decent its a little cold but its also warm too! they do have a hot tub but it closes early unlike the pool area which closes at 10PM and the opening hours are 8AM. The room was very clean no bedbugs . But one thing i will say is that shower area is was bit dirty. And if you want to make a phone call you have to use wifi because when you try to use cell serivce you get zero bars and complaint also goes out to @TELUS because if you have telus you screwed you won't get any signal in your room the only 2 places you can get 3-4 bars is if you go by the windows or step outside the room into the lobby. Overall i'd give this hotel a 4/10 would go back there again in the future
Usually stay at the Red Deer south location, only because of the restaurant on site. I had stayed here before but it was getting old and tired. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean it is and how comfortable the bed is. Still needs a major overhaul but not bad for the price.
Absolutely the best place to stay with my elderly mom. The staff were amazing and the room was perfect
We stayed here for a family funeral and knew it might be just ok because it is a bit of an older property. What we noticed is the service and amenities are great. The rooms have everything you need, including an extraction fan in the bathrooms and brand new (as of today) light fixtures. The breakfast buffet has enough to get your day going and includes pastries, coffee, eggs and sausage. It has a pool and the front desk staff are friendly and considerate. This was a last minute choice for us and it far exceeded our expectations. This hotel is clean, comfortable and adds a little bit of extra service.
The staff was warm and welcoming. The room was clean and well maintained. The complimentary breakfast, a bit of a different variety of dishes each morning, was delicious. Overall it is a really great place to stay.
This straightforward hotel is 2 km from Red Deer College, 3 km from downtown shops and restaurants, and 4 km from trail rides and dining at Heritage Ranch.
