“Slept Well”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I took a little trip to Smithers and spent one night at the Sandman. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. I dont have a credit card so I had to put a deposit down and thought that it was very nice the next day how honest the owners were that I do not forget about the deposit and remember to take it with me. The room was a nice size just for myself and very comfortable and clean. I was thankful there was a ironing board in there as I was going to a meeting that night and needed to iron my skirt. The view I had from my window was pretty nice facing the mountains. I also liked that there was a mini fridge in the room so I could put some refreshments and snacks in there as well as a microwave. I read other reviews and I never noticed an odor in the hotel or in my room and I have a very sensitive nose. I also liked the fact that Tim Hortons is right beside the hotel. Overall I would have to say my stay was a nice one and if I ever go back to Smithers I will stay there again.

“Will definetly stay again!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

I have recently stayed at the Smithers Sandman Inn. The staff were very helpful and accomodating to any and all requests I had. The room, though not large, was very clean and cozy! As a Tim horton's junkie, the fact that there is one right beside the hotel was absolutely great. Overall, I would definetly stay again!!!

“There are better hotels in Smithers, but on a budget...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I have stayed here twice. It is by no means the nicest hotel on the planet or even in Smithers. It's a little old and dilapidated. It's got a not terribly pleasant odor about the place. There is a Tim Horton's (I think) drive thru in the parking lot and I was kind of yelled at more than once while going to my car. The parking lot is also dark. If you are travelling alone as a woman, I might suggest staying elsewhere. There are a couple newer hotels just up the street.

“Small but very clean and well equiped”

Stayed for two nights, attending a wedding in Smithers. Rooms were very clean and had a fridge and microwave. Right next door to a Tim Hortons - did not hear any noise as rooms were on other side of hotel. No elevator but only two stories. Great Value.

“No people skills here, a most disappointing hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

During our 6 weeks of travel throughout Alaska and Canada this was the most unwelcoming hotel we stayed in. We had booked this hotel in May and now wish we had made a different choice. On arrival it appeared to be an effort for the man at reception to even acknowledge you, certainly no hello or welcome - a most uncomfortable experience. It was an after thought for him to even supply directions to our room. If we asked a question we were lucky to get a one word answer. This man has no people skills whatsoever and would appear to be in the wrong industry. Our room was basic, but at least it was clean. Would definitely advise anyone staying in Smithers to look elsewhere.
