We were so happy with our experience over Easter Weekend at the Days Inn.
We were challenged to find a hotel in Yorkton that had a suite with a separate room and a pool (my sister's request), that was pet friendly and had a continental breakfast (my parent's request) and that was affordable (my request). The Days Inn off Broadway accommodated all of our requests in a family friendly, comfortable, clean hotel.
Check in was a breeze and most of our rooms (2 of 3) were available prior to check in at 4. It was like Christmas for me as my whole family was getting together for the first time since August - so the Hubba Hubby and I arrived early so we could deck out the room with some of our family's favourites including magazines, candies and more.
The rooms were awesome - the pet friendly room and the family suite both had a couch in the room, making for great spots to hang out. But we actually found ourselves mostly gathering in the lobby in front of the beautiful fireplace in the comfy, oversized chairs. With the beautiful lights and fun rug, this felt just like a living room and we enjoyed the space a lot. It was also right beside the open business centre so if you hopped onto the computer, you were still able to be part of the action.
There were a lot of families staying this weekend so the breakfast area was buzzing at 8am, but there was still enough room for everyone. They had high chairs available for the littlest ones and simple breakfast including yogurt, bread, pastries, fruit, cereal, eggs and sausage. And I think everyone loved the pancake machine that pops out 2 pancakes at a time. The coffee machine was always on and accessible day or night.
The pool and whirlpool are small, but are perfect for this hotel. The bonus is an awesome waterslide that is super kid friendly. My three year old nephew was super comfortable to climb up by himself while we waited for him at the bottom. And the few times that we did go with him, you just fly down the spiral slide! FYI, Auntie and Uncle (myself and the Hubba Hubby) can make some pretty great splashes!
The location is perfect - close to the mall and restaurants (everything from Subway to Browns Social Hall to Mr. Mikes, Boston Pizza, Tim Hortons, Wendy's and more..). Superstore is across the highway and Wal-Mart too is close if you need groceries for the room. Bonus, all the rooms come with a mini fridge.
The hotel served all of our needs and was extremely family friendly. We would definitely stay again the next time we invade Yorkton. read more
