“Dont think so”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

person found this review helpful

At first we thought we got a good deal but after the first night sleep it wasnt very good. First the was a huge sign out front that said new renovated rooms. Well let me tell you the rooms were far from renovated. the bathroom ceiling was falling in and the stoves were so old you had to guess what the temp. was.Try cooking a pizza when you have to guess the temp. Ya turns into cardboard. On more than one occation we came back from work and the rooms werent cleaned. No coffee, or cups to drink out of. Ever seen a construction worker who hasn't had a good sleep and there is no coffee.

The thing that turned me off the most and I kid you not was coming back from work and getting settled down for the night a stumble across a condom in my bed room. Oh yes you read right. I went straight to the manager and the respones i got wasnt good. He told me the next time I stayed there he would "TRY" to give me a disscount. Well never went back and never will. I would rather stay in my truck in the middle of winter and frezee to death.

So DONT STAY at the Shannon unless you like slum lords and bad service.

Room Tip: Dont stay at the Shannon. If you need a kitchenet i would suggest the Blue Bell. Better rooms and cl...

“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!
