The guy at the front desk was amazing. So nice and helpful. The room itself is nice, but no coffee maker. That surprised me. And then the bed. I remember as a kid having a bed where the mattress was parked on top of bedsprings. It was noisy getting in and out of bed. The bed here is all of that and worse. Every time you move, it's so loud it wakes you up. Thankfully, I'm not a restless sleeper, but still . . . this bed needs replacement.

Stayed here in December 2024, on my way from Ottawa to Calgary, via the USA. (Ottawa / Sault Ste Marie / Grand Forks / Calgary) via (if i can read this correctly) "Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan" Hotel just got renovated, and is pretty much up there at the top of any 2-3 star hotel you can find. Guy at the front desk was very helpful and courteous (at an 8pm check-in) to note: there is a nice bar with good food and beer near by: Speedway 805 bar and grill, go for the hazy IPA, good food and friendly service.

The breakfast was not anywhere sufficient. Toast and yogurt is not enough. The beds are TERRIBLE. The equivalent of sleeping on a floor. The hotel inside is clean. I really like that the floors in the rooms aren’t carpet.
