This was the WORST hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life…read more
I brought 18 families of young children to this hotel as we were in town for recreational activities for our children, and we were mostly gone daily from 8am until 9pm. We barely used the space, and when we did it was TERRIBLE.
KITCHEN Fridge didn't close. Only 8 spoons, veggie peeler, 4 dirty glasses, 2 saucers. NO FORKS, PLATES, BOWLS.Called front desk, they brought us 3 dirty forks, one massive steel bowl. 5 of us in the suite, and we could not eat together for lack of dishes.
Dishwasher didn't work.
Our room did NOT have TOILET PAPER, SHAMPOO, CLEAN TOWELS, HANDSOAP.
It did have FILTHY toilet, bathtub, a clump of hair on the wall.The comforter was covered in sharpie, sheets not clean. *HOUSEKEEPING DOES NOT EXIST! THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED
Kitchen was greasy and we had to clean it before we could even cook in it.
We booked a FULL kitchen but had to go buy our own dishes - that was the first red flag.
It DID have a FILTHY bathtub and a MASSIVE clump of hair on the wall. The toilet was also filthy.
The bedrooms were an OK size. They only had 3 small drawers, so not ideal for travelling with a family or for a long stay.
The pillows were mediocre and the beds were not comfortable.
The comforter was covered in black sharpie and we questioned if the sheets were even cleaned before our stay.
*HOUSEKEEPING DOES NOT EXIST*
AMENITIES
The restaurant is a ghost town and one of our guests got mild food poisoning. The lettuce was brown and the mayonnaise was maybe off.
CUSTOMER SERVICE is TOXIC
On our first day {tuesday} there we were surprised that the "Full Kitchen" did not include anything as mentioned above. The gentleman at the front desk tried to resolve this by bringing us the wrong items - we ended up having to go to the local store and buy what we needed to be able to cook.
On our 4th day there {Friday}, we had friends who were also staying in the hotel come to our room for a pre-dinner snack - we had been gone ALL DAY and so we went to our room from 430 - 6pm before returning to the competition. PLEASE NOTE WE WERE ONLY IN THE ROOM FROM 430 PM to 6 pm.
While we were there together, the front desk phoned and said "you have a noise complaint and have to leave the hotel immediately" . We took this to mean that we had to leave our room - and not that we were kicked out. We immediately began packing our items to go as we had to be somewhere else anyways. We were gone within 10 minutes of the call.
***** Please note we were not being loud however we wanted to respect the call so we left for the day and did not return until bed, and then we were gone the next morning again by 8 am.
When we returned from our competition and brunch at 1pm our room was locked - including the costumes our children needed to change into for their next show, as well as our food items.
The front desk let us in and said "you have one hour to remove your items or we are calling the police. You have to leave the hotel immediately." we asked "on what grounds" and their answer was "we don't have to tell you." they then said " we actually already called the police and they are coming to help you pack and move"
WE CALLED the police. WE were the first call they received so it turns out the hotel was using bullying tactics to try and scare us.
When the RCMP arrived AT OUR REQUEST {I recorded this entire visit so feel free to message me if you want to hear it!} they also asked the hotel on what grounds, and DEBBIE let them know that "we dont have to tell you but it's because we have video of multiple children going into this room" So that was the reason they wanted us to move to a different hotel - First of all, DEBBIE would not show us the video - Secondly, our friend who was there said "I was in their room and so was my child - am I being asked to leave and if so, why not" again DEBBIE refused to share any footage or proof that their was a SINGLE guest complaint. There were a total of 6 YOUNG children that went to our room at most - 3 were ours, and 3 were friends.
The RCMP told DEBBIE that she was being unreasonable
We said "ok we will leave and get another hotel, can we pack in a couple hours, as we have a fridge full of food and 6 suitcases, and we have to leave right now or we will miss our child's time slot"
DEBBIE said "You can leave now - but your stuff won't be here " The police AGAIN told the hotel staff DEBBIE that she was not making sense and unreasonable. We had to leave that minute, so we would catch the show. We said "we are offering in good faith that we will come back in 2 hours to pack and leave, however we currently have nowhere to go and need to get sorted" DEBBIE let us know "I told those other 2 BEST WESTERN hotels that you can not stay there either."
