“Surprisingly good!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

From the outside, the Shannon looks unpromising---my wife said "Let's bring anything valuable inside!" But it turned out to be surprisingly nice!

PROS:
• Big, comfy room---we got the King room, and it had not just a bed and table, but also a plush couch, armchair, big TV, fridge and microwave.
• Very clean (though the smell of cleaning products was a little fierce)
• WiFi in room (the fancy Woodlands up the road doesn't have this!)
• Great price ($100 less than said fancy Woodlands)

CONS
• Some weirdly missing amenities---there was a coffee maker but no coffee cups

  • Stayed August 2011, travelled as a couple

“rather sleep under my car in a storm”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011

filthy, disgusting sheethole, oh did I say filthy ?, mould in the washroom, unknowns behind the beds....did I say sheethole ? Next time I'm in that area, the only stop will be the museum as it is very cool, and maybe a stop at the motel to get my money back, that disgusting stop put a sour note on an otherwise great tour to the Yukon

Room Tip: go up the road

“What a dive!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

Paid over $90 for one night. Room reeked of lysol, had 3 mattresses stacked on one another. Absolutely rank!! Had I not been so cold and tired would have nosed around the neighborhood. Place didn't look bad from out front, but once you go through the door, be prepared. All I could think of was bedbugs and examined myself and whatever i took inside closely. Not a nice place to stay!!

“Very impressive!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed at Shannon Motel for one night in October of last year.
I have stayed at this motel before but I was very impressed when I visited there again.
The entire hotel had a major renovation and I had a great night with very accomodating and friendly staff. (There was a new manager who was very kind and helpful to accommodate my comfortable stay)

Room was very clean and a new LCD 32" TV, new set of chairs and sofa and new wood flooring were very nice.

I would highly recommend Shannon Motel to anyone who travel along Alaska Highway because the room rate is reasonable and the overall service was excellent and I would certainly choose Shannon motel again for my stay!

“In at 7 am at full regular rate 89.95 plus $20...out by 7 pm with RCMP assistance”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2011

The man wated me out by 7 pm, I had only been there for 12 hours and paid an extra $20 because I was checking in early. I was sound asleep ( I am on meds) and tthe guy walks in to my room with the master key. no partying or nothing I had come out of camp and needed most of the day to attend to business and went to sleep at about 4:30 pm.
Anyway when he entered my room he told me I had to lget out of bed and leave. I told him I had paid the full rate. That didn't matter if I did not leave he would call the police. 10 minutes later the police arrives and suggested it was a misunderstanding between him and I. Well I still left tired and groggy and went on the road in a snowstorm. The police stopped me going out of fort nelson at 8 pm to inform me of the bad road conditions. Dec. 22/2011.
I have stayed at the Shannon quite a few times before in the last 20 years or so but this must be a new owner. He will not see me again. My total bill on credit card was $122.02......for 30 or 40 bucks more I could have stayed in a decent, clean place. It was truly a horrible experience.
my email is simonsshepherd@hotmail.com if any one needs to verify
