First of all I want to start by saying I am very impressed with this hotel. For a small city like Meadow Lake you would not expect such a nice place to stay. I recently have stayed here for the first time since a few years back. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see such great improvements from the renovations. The lobby is very attractive with new paint, new sofa & chairs, and a flat screen tv above the fireplace, also a coffee station in the lobby with 24 hour coffee service which I found to be quite convenient. The front desk clerk that checked me in was very friendly and polite. They got me checked in within a very timely manner. When I arrived in my room, I was extremely impressed with the renovations done to the rooms. Again new paint, carpets, bedding is not cheap it was very comfortable and clean with an abundance of pillows (which is rare sometimes in a hotel), Furniture in room is also new, dresser, desk, headboards, paintings, chairs all NEW. Also new flat screen tv in the room was very nice. It looks fantastic. On top of that I have no complaints about the room cleanliness it was very clean. Continental breakfast was great, Toast, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, muffins, coffee, tea, juice. I will definately be staying at this hotel again the next time I am in Meadow Lake, and reccomend anyone else do the same!

Nice big room, average beds. Room cleaning was unusual. We stayed two nights and they did not make the beds after the first night. Otherwise cleaning the room was ok. Breakfast was minimal: toast, muffins, cold cereal, coffee, muffins, apples, oranges, bananas the first morning. Restaurant on site wasn't that good (canned peas with the meal). Recommend Macs Steak House on first avenue. Tasty food, generous portions, wide variety of food.

My employer booked this hotel for me while I was in Meadow Lake on business. The outside area is sort of unattractive, with a thrift store next door along with the rest of the plaza, but there is a grocery store nearby if you need anything. My room was clean, spacious, but simple I suppose - although I was expecting this in the first place. I didn't use the continental breakfast, or the pool -- the attached restaurant (Garfunkel's) has a bar sitting area and a separate restaurant area. Their wings were good - it's typical small restaurant fare.
They are also starting some minor renovations (or so it seemed to me) which might enhance the appearance of the hotel. If I were in town again, and looking for a clean place to stay, I would stay here.

Thought I'd book this Super 8, since it has a pool. As soon as I entered the front doors, I realized it was a poor choice. If the price was better, I might be willing to ignore the fact that this place is ugly, cheap looking, and poorly managed. Stucco walls everywhere you look. I made the mistake of hanging in for a second night. Wish I'd made the switch to Woodland Inn; on TripAdvisor, you'll see my 2006 review.

Super 8 Meadow Lake, the good
- clean, spacious room
- in room fridge, large desk, black out drapes (although no sheers)
- continental breakfast 7 days a week begins at 6:30
- interior corridor

The bad
- cheap prints on the walls, cheap furniture including the 2 storage bins
- there's several electrical plugs in the room, but not where you need them e.g. an outlet by the desk for a laptop!
- bathroom door doesn't open fully because of improper placement of curved shower rod
- since parking lot is part of plaza next door, the parking lot lights were off when closed
- apparently, the newspapers that are on the front desk counter - but hard to get to - are free
- two floors, no elevator. My 2nd floor hallway smelled of smoke both nights
- cheap lidless ice bucket with no plastic bag for a liner
- the desk chair is too low for the desk, even after raising the chair to it's max
- wireless internet speed sometimes slow
- no in-room book to explain the hotel services and community
- no onsite fitness; I took advantage of their free pass to the Dynamic gym in town. It's hardly impressive. Old equipment. One shower. No lockers.
- the bar/restaurant attached has video lottery terminals. I didn't even want to venture in.

The ugly
- the reception staff: weak. They leave a cordless phone base at the counter that you are expected to press the Locator button to summon them. It was common to see them on the only love seat in front of the TV. Looked like a boyfriend was there the one time
- pool has a closed water slide - and a threatening note about trying to use the slide
- the breakfast room is gross. one small TV in the corner. cereal is in individual size boxes, bread and muffins are in covered plastic bins. Muffins are greasy. There's faded prints on ugly white walls.

I will definitely not return.
