Thank you very much! Abby was very pleased to see your comments, and we all agree, she does consistently go above and beyond! as for $10 room rates, I wish we could comply, but unfortunately we are worth more than that, and our owners know it! Enjoy the season! More

The extended stay suites are a tremendous for value and alternative to working camp accommodations. The rooms are cleaned daily, and I do mean cleaned, by a very courteous staff that is very polite and energetic. The rooms are also... More

We chose the Merit Hotel based on previous reviews. We found the front desk staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, modern and best of all, there was no noise from other rooms. While Fort McMurray hotels have a 'captive audience', that hasn't stopped the staff at the Merit-from the very visible manager (Mark) and guest service supervisor... More
