“OK for one night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2009

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night on our way to Calgary.
Efficient check in and pleasant receptionist. The room was quite small with one comfortable kingsize bed and 2 bedside tables, wardrobe and chest of drawers, 2 easy chairs ( one of which had bits of potato crisp on the seat ) TV, desk and chair. There was also a small ironing board and iron. The window only opened a small amount.
We didn't use the swimming pool although we did look in but couldn't see a changing room so if you want to use the pool you should ask about this.
We did go into the bar for a drink which was lively on that evening so went into the smaller sitting area. The chairs are comfortable but grubby was is the sofa in the reception area.
We did use the internet which was slow and costs 3 dollars for 15 mins. We found the room it was in by ourselves after enquiring at the desk and being told someone was using it at present. We asked if we had to book the use of it but was just told it was busy, with no indication of where it was.
We did use Deny's Diner very close by which was OK.
Having already stayed in the Sandman in Calgary we were a bit disappointed.
I can't imagine we will ever go to Red Deer again.

“Pet Allergies? Pick another hotel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2009

Hi
We stayed at this hotel for our son's sports tournament. There is nothing relly wrong with the facility apart from the fact the they allow pets. There are no non-pet rooms and while I'm sure they try to clean as well as possible, it is impossible to eliminate all of the pet hair, dander and other allergens. There were many many dogs and a couple of cats visting the hotel while we were there and it is likely that some were allowed to lounge on the beds and furniture. This is a great hotel for people with pets, but if you have allergies, stay away, you will suffer badly.

“Pets are welcome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2009

I stayed at the Sandman in December & I would just like to say that it is a great place! You can bring your dog too!

Most hotels that allow pets are not even in the same class as the Sandman!

I really liked the feature of having to use your room card to use the elevator. What a great thing to keep the kids from running up and down the halls like most hotels.

Very nice, clean rooms, super service.

  • Liked — That they allowed Pets.
  • Disliked — Everything was good!

“Typical chain hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2008

We only stayed one night in Red Deer to pick up my stepkids...that was more than enough. The hotel was your average chain hotel...uninterested staff, cookie cutter rooms.
Red Deer isn't a nice town, so if you're only staying for a night or two...this place is fine!

  • Liked — It had a nice bed.
  • Disliked — The town itself.

It is unfortunate that this guest felt that the hotel did not meet all their needs for this stay and that they did not bring their concerns forward at the time of their stay. We strive to ensure everyone's comfort, and would have worked very hard to change this guest's opinion of our property and our City. Red Deer is a vibrant town with breaktaking scenery and warm, friendly citizens. We are very proud to live and work in this community.

“Terrible customer service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2008

Our team stayed at this hotel. The hot tub was broken, the pool was cold, the ice machines were broken. Smoke lingered through the hallways the entire weekend. While asking for more towels we were told that we had to go and get them ourselves. People running around the hallways after midnight and nothing was done after we phoned down. We were not impressed at all!

  • Liked — The interior wood
  • Disliked — Poor customer service

We are sorry this guest's needs were not met during their stay at the Sandman Hotel Red Deer. It is unfortunate that the guest did not advise us that the jacuzzi wasn't working during their stay, however, we have since made the necessary repair. We are also conscious of the need for providing fast, efficient and courteous service and have recently undergone re-training of our staff to ensure circumstances such as those listed in this guest concern do not happen again. We appreciate all feedback on our services and strive to meet our guests's needs at every turn.
