We were told $95 was the cheapest room and later that night we called from our cell after check in and were told $79.99. They went in our room and opened the window while we were out shopping. We were not even offered breakfast!! We changed rooms 3 times because of the smell and dirt. Very rude lady at the... More

Good Afternoon Kristina L I was very surprised to see your review Title as "Worst Hotel Ever" I understand the frustration you may have felt when our front desk specialist stated that a cancellation fee could be charged due to the last minute notification of your reservation. 24 hours notice is common courtesy for any cancellation, unfortunately unforeseen things happen,...

This so called hotel should be embarrassed to call itself that, as it doesn't compare to hotel standards and really should keep its name to Motor Inn. It is lacking in many ways for the rooms; jacuzzi with floaties in it, dirty glass, cigarette burns, stains on comforter, and leftover hardened food stuck on the carpet. The noise you hear... More

A time machine has finally been invented. It's called the Sands Motor Inn. Walking into the lobby you're bombarded with wood paneling, country music, and the smell of old people. All that's missing is sawdust on the floors. But what can you expect from a place that uses their VLT machines and dart boards as a selling point to attract... More

Everything you need in a place to stay. Clean rooms and welcoming staff. Good vending machines and bags for your buckets. Quality sheets on the bed. Good bar and buffet!!Close distance to rexall, that's why we stayed and we were able to save on cab fare because we walked. We'll be back =)

I have been to this hotel a number of times mostly for weddings. The front desk staff could use a little freshening up and more professional attire. The banquet staff is great, always smiling and accommodating. New general management is incredible! A lot more pleasant and professional then what use to be in there. She is definitely bringing up the... More

Convienient location near the Trans-Canada Highway if you are driving. Room was ample, the flat screen TV was fuzzy, but I don't watch much. Restaurant supposed to be good, although I didn't try it. Sign in lobby "visitors after 11 pm must be registered" could be telling-but I didnt see any trouble. Not that many cars in parking lot. Air... More
