My boyfriend and I were driving from Sarnia to Sault Ste Marie en route to North Battleford, and stopped here for the night. It had started to snow, and we hadnt planned to stop but were both very tired so decided to find a hotel to sleep for the night. TomTom showed that this one was near where we were on the highway, so we turned up and asked if they had a room for the night.
Jake, the guy behind the desk, couldnt have been more helpful. We checked in at about 10 in the evening, and he did everything quickly and with no fuss; the fact we also had our pet cat with us didnt faze him at all, in fact he gave us a small bag of treats for him! Top marks to Jake for customer service; after a tiring and stressful day where all we wanted was to get some sleep, he was a ray of sunshine, especially at that time of night.
The room was clean and functional, all linens crisp and clean, we had a non smoking room with a queen sized bed. The only slight niggle was the pillows; they felt like sleeping on bags of chopped up rubber sliced bread, for want of a better description.
Apart from that, everything was great. Had a great night's sleep, and check out was a breeze. The bill was popped under the door whilst we slept so we didnt need to go through checking out before we left, all we had to do was return the key.
This hotel is pet friendly which is an absolute boon. We normally stay at Best Westerns, but none of them in the area were pet friendly. And when you are travelling from one end of the country to the other, and have your pet with you, they need to relax too, and the last thing you need is the hassle of trying to find somewhere that is happy to accommodate a small cat. Jake even waived the normal $10 pet fee because of our late check in.
Breakfast is included, as is high speed internet, in the price. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
