I could go on at length, but here's just one incident to give you an indication of how low quality a place this is. When I booked a reservation online, the hotel charged me a $5.00 "reservation fee" without telling me that was in addition to the cost of the room, and to make it worse it showed up as a charge from American Airlines in Oklahoma, so I'm left wondering why the heck I have this random charge on my credit card statement. I'm thinking, "Was my card stolen?" No, it's just another example of this hotel's incredible lack of customer care.

FIRST OF ALL! HORRIBLE!

Myself, wife and 6 month old son attended this hotel as we figured it was the only decent one there. WE WERE WRONG...

1.) We booked a week earlier than our arrival date
2.) We confirmed the night before
3.) When we arrived, THEY GAVE AWAY OUR ROOM! The only room they had was a SMOKING ROOM...did I mention i had a 6 month old? NOT GOOD! Then they tried to charge us over $100 when we were qouted $72.95 plus tax, this was even for a single bed room that wasnt what we wanted.

It was dirty, unkept....who ever said they renovated was blind or something. The toilet was yellow, the tub was yellow, it looked as if there was 'creepy crawlies' all around the room. We didnt even sleep in the sheets as they are so hard and itchy that we couldnt sleep. It was rediculous...dont get me wrong. If i paid $30 a night...it would make sense. But for one that set me back $80...wtf. Thats rediculous! I coudlnt cancel or they were going to charge us anyways....even though they werent busy!

DO NOT GO HERE!

Another story...

ALSO at 2:30 am my wife had a angry drunk kicking her door and yelling at them to come out. we called downstairs, they wouldnt answer or do anything. All my wife could do was stay in thier room and lock all the doors and pray for the best. luckly the drunk man did not get in. When my wife went downstairs in the morning, the owner (host) prety much shrugged it off and made it seem like it was no big deal. It made her feel very unsafe, unwelcome and very much degraded.

I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THIS HOTEL TO MY WORST ENEMIES!

Paraphrase...
1. NOT renovated! False advertising.
2. Itchy and uncomfortable sheets
3. They got rid of our room and tried to charge us way more for a room that is not what we requested.
4. Treated us with disrespect
5. The continental breakfast was a joke... watered down juice..i can probably get a better breakfast outside by the garbage.
6. Rooms stunk like stale smoke and a dirty diaper
7. Could care less about our safety
8. Spoke to us like we were idiots

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! If you need a motel....GO TO MOTEL 6! Its $2 more but its worth it, id rather no one else to feel and experience what we went through!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this motel! It looks awful from the outside, but the inside has been recently renovated and it's actually very nice. They really should fix the outside of the building, because it's very misleading - I thought the place was going to be a trash heap.

This is my fourth night on a road trip through Canada, and this is by far the best deal I have gotten on a hotel so far. Only $92, and for that price I got free internet, a very clean and modern room with every amenity you could want - TV, microwave, fridge, iron, hair dryer, laundry room on the premises. The bed was also super comfortable, feels like a new mattress.

And, there's a Dairy Queen right next door! What more could you want?

Don't let the outdated decor fool you. This Thriftlodge offers great value for a place just off Highway 2. My room on the second floor was decently sized featuring 2 queen beds. Even though it was close to the highway you couldn't hear the traffic.

I was thoroughly impressed with cleanliness of room's interior. There wasn't a speck of dust on the headboards or window sills and even the fridge & microwave were spotless.

Breakfast was simple, but ample. Check-in/out was a breeze. The staff was exceedingly friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again just for the "down home" country experience. Remember, this is a vintage establishment so don't expect a lot of frills, but excellent value and sincere hospitality.
