“Good value & comfy beds...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We're currently staying at the Podollan Inn and it's been awesome so far! Booked online for $149 for a King Executive room...seems to be one of the more affordable options in Fort Mac. Check in was very quick and painless...two minutes max! Got room cards which also let you in to the free heated underground parking - major bonus!

Room (4020) is huge and clean, with more than adequate kitchenette including table & two chairs, desk area with phone, flat screen tv, king bed with down duvet and the comfiest mattress I've ever slept on. Bathroom is average, but no tub just a large tiled shower. There is also a second sink and mirror area outside the bathroom so two people can easily get ready at the same time. Room is spotless and looks recently renovated.

The common areas are clean and nicely done...lots of warm brick accents.

Staff are friendly and pleasant. Place is very quiet for a hotel on a Saturday night in Fort Mac.

We ate at the Podollan Pub and had a pretty good meal. It's a typical sports pub that was very busy tonight because of the UFC fights coming on, but not too raucous or loud...yet, lol. We shared the platter of appies which was tasty, but a little spendy for what we got ($29 for a few wings, dry ribs, spring rolls, calamari, and a very small serving of bruschetta). We also had the steak sandwich which was really good ($17) and the buffalo burger ($14), which again was good but a little sloppy. Both meals came with homecut fries (included) and mushrooms and onions (extra). With two cokes, two beers, and a cosmopolitan, the meal came to $98 which was more than we would've liked, but not unlike others restaurants in the area. Server was great, and overall it was a good experience...we'd go back, but skip the platter.

Peter Pond Mall, Walmart and many others shops and restaurants are within five minutes drive.

We'll likely stay here again.

“Best Place to Stay in Fort Mac”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

I have travelled to Fort McMurray many times for business and stayed in various places, but I have found the Podollan Inn is the best up here. The very large LCD tv's are my favorite, the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. The hotel also houses the Podollan Pub and I highly recommend it for an amazing steak or to entertain clients or customers. We had a blast with our server and all of us really enjoyed our meals. I'll be back!

“Reasonable for Fort Mac”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The Podollan Inn seems to be a decent enough choice for someone looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay in Fort Mac. I arrived well before the 3 p.m. check in time but had no problems getting into my room with the help of the friendly front desk agent. Though I didn't use it, the front desk gave me a ten dollar voucher for the hotel pub.

The rooms are spacious, with a small kitchenette and seating area. The washroom is quite large, though there is only a walk-in shower with a curtain vs a tub. The hotel provides plenty of toiletries and some free coffee in the room. Underground parking would be especially welcome during the winter.

I had a small hiccup with being overcharged by the hotel and I didn't detect it until a few days later. However, it was taken care of very quickly with one phone call.

Very pleasant check in, quick and efficient. The overall property is clean and also the rooms are very clean. Nice layout of the King room I stayed in. What a relief to have a hotel with wireless internet that always worked for me.
Thank you. I will be returning and using Podollan Inns as my choice of hotel.

“Not as bad as previous reviews had lead me to believe”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2009

person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Podollan Inn for two nights in late May. The hotel is centrally located near Hwy 63 and the Athabasca River in Fort McMurray. It is not a great looking hotel, but it is consistent with the overall community: this is a northern Canadian working town.
The room was a clean and reasonably decorated with one King bed, desk, sitting area, kitchenette and bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The wireless internet worked fine and the hotel was within walking distance of several restaurants. There was also a fairly decent complimentary continental breakfast served from 5:00am to 9:00am.

In all, the hotel was consistent with the overall nature of the community and my expectations in staying there: the room was clean and quiet, the bed comfortable and the hotel was reasonably located for my business needs.
