Daisy needed knee surgery, the best doggah surgeon in the province is 1/4 mile away, but we're 6hrs away, so this is where I stay. This time i didnt need a 'doggah room' as on arrival, the hospital was taking Daisy into care, but I was familiar with this hotel and for the extra $$ others were charging, weren't offering anything of value to me for the 2 nights i was staying. Its clean, its quiet, king bed is comfortable, good internets, tv looked nice, never turned it on. The animal hospital is across the road, save on foods/crappy tire/marks workwear and walmart couple blocks away to the south and a straight shot on lougheed hwy to coquitlam for Me N Eds pizza. Why not 5 dots? On one hand it deserves 5 for its category, i dont handicap like that....but only 4 because on my 2 day my door card wouldnt work. This is my greatest peeve with hotels. Drive around to the back, park, up the stairs on red light...of course im laden with all the crap i just went out for, so now the trek to the opposite side of the building with all my crap and the awkwardness at the counter (mine...the less i deal with a real person, the better) even after specifically asking that the key will work on the 2nd day when i checked in..:ugh:...instant lose 1 dot in my books. Big ups to the cleaning staff that actually obeyed the do not disturb dont need any cleaning magnet on the door, too many places dont take heed to that. I wasnt pleased to see the entire location under construction, but aside from having to park 30 feet further away cuz construction crew was blocking the closer spots and a minimal amount of noise 3-5pm one day, it wasnt the issue i thought it would be when i pulled up. And i cant fault them for improving the place. My agita was premature. The products in the soap/shampoo dispensers sucked...smelled like tung oil. Im rarely a fan of hotel products, but these were horrid. And you wont get 5 dots from me if the HVAC is not programmable...heat low was too hot, off was too cold...Ive been in cheaper rooms that have a temperature you can program, its not that complicated.
