Love this hotel and restaurant. Have stayed here a couple of times now on trips between Vernon and Edmonton. It is very clean, quiet and the front desk staff always go out of their way to provide us with the most convenient room. They welcome pets, which I sometimes travel with and are very accommodating. The food at the restaurant... More

.....but should we have contiued our drive into the night? We were charged a fee on our credit card incase or breakages - but we were told it would vanish by the time we got home (so I will see when I get my bill). We were charged this pre authorisation fee at a couple of the hotels that were... More

The Blue River Sandman is a clean comfortable recently renovated motel, with an excellent on-site restaurant (Tony's Grill). We enjoyed our stay there. One thing to be aware of - although wifi internet is part of the package, it is satellite based and VERY intermitent. It was so slow that we were not able to get on at all during... More

I was merrily on my way, moving to Vancouver (from Edmonton) with all my possessions on the 26 ft U-haul truck (which was also pulling a trailer with a car on it) and a rear tire blew just 10 km out of Blue River at 10PM on a Friday night. It was a very stressful experience, not because I was... More

This Sandman is not like Langley's Sandman but, not bad. not bad at all. The rooms have been refurbished including the washrooms. The hallways are very dated but clean. Same with the lobby. The parking is not too bad. There is an attached restaurant off the lobby. It's pretty good. The staff is very nice. Very friendly. There is no... More

We (2 couples) stayed here while en route from Edmonton to Vancouver and found the rooms to be clean and recently renovated. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was in good repair & clean, and the "kitchenette" was very new. The hallways, common areas, and exterior show wear and one can tell that it's an older building that has probably... More

We were fortunate to get a room at the Sandman after getting caught in a massive traffic blockage on the Yellowhead Highway, which was completely closed for 14 hours. I would have been happy to get any room at all after having to turn around and drive back over 60 km to Blue River, but the Sandman was an unexpected... More

If your looking for outdoor adventure, then Blue River is a awesome choice. It being winter time all I could wait to do is finally get out to sled. Myself and a buddy stayed at the newly renovated Sandman Blue River. The rooms were very up to date and clean. The furniture, beds, TV's of this property were outstanding. I... More

The courtesy, friendliness and professionalism of Manager Gerrit Kruger and his wife, Martie, take the rating for this hotel from average to the next level. The hotel is currently being renovated. We were offered one of the newly upgraded rooms on the top floor, but because we wanted to be close to our vehicle, we chose a room on the... More
