I travel all over Western Canada on a weekly basis and my preference is to stay in the Holiday Inns and currently hold a Holiday Inn Gold Elite Membership. Due to a new customer of mine attending the Lloydminster Home & Garden Show I booked a room at this location for three nights. A BIG MISTAKE!!!
Overview:
- I was greeted by a very rude and abrupt front desk clerk that would not allow me to book in early even though I told her I would not need a room key until I returned later in the day.
- The foyer, lobby and elevator floors were muddy.
- There was dried blood on the pillow cases on entering the room. I did ask to have new pillows but only received changed pillow cases.
- The food n the restaurant adjacent to the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. I was told by the server that the reason the menu was limited was due to the kitchen only having two grills. This would make sense as the wait for my meal was beyond normal. I strongly recommend that you eat elsewhere. The bar seats around 20 people and I noticed it was full every night due to the restaurant being so small they seated people in the bar for meals.
- One slow elevator for such a large hotel.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless every other hotel in the area is booked. There are several along the main street to choose from. There are also restaurants along the main street to choose from.
You can also forget room service and if you do eat dinner you better do it early before shut down.
