Was clean enough, had all the requisite things BUT. - outside door was drafty, all of the ammenities felt like they came from a yard sale, all appliances were plugged into extension cords AND you had to choose because there werent enough. Place was clean - but honestly i doubt it would pass an inspection. Including the shower curtain rod was detached at both ends. I thing only friction was holding it up. I took photos then did not touch it.

The "non-smoking" room, to which I was confined to, reeked of millions of hours of tobacco smoking - the stench was unbearable so I could not sleep. The furniture is broken and unclean.

The room was disgusting it looked like someone pissed all over the bed the couch was ripped and dirty. They switched me rooms that had two beds this time and same thing one bed was gross and the other one was okay and the staff said at least there is two beds so you can sleep in the clean one. There was people up all night and it was raunchy sounded like someone was knocking on my door all night. Do not stay at this hotel it's the biggest dive ever and costs more then it should.

Hi, I just want you to know that, someone else has already been checked in at 3-4 pm before me under my name and even put his signature. The employee at the counter didn’t even checked his id. When i arrived at 11:20 pm we got to know about this and the employee said you are already checked in and when i asked that did you checked the id of the other guy, they said no. So after almost 30 minutes, they gave us another room. But how can someone check in under another person’s name! Strange!!….. Thank you.

I checked in at the desk. Asked for a ground floor because I had a lot of baggage to carry from my motorcycle but they had none available. They eventually offered me a 'kitchen suite' at the same rate. The staff showed me the unit from the door and I accepted. I didn't notice the condition of the bathroom until I unpacked. The ceiling was caved in and wet from flooding. I have photos. I was too exhausted to change to an upstairs room or hotels so asked for an adjustment. They said that they could not provided one and that I had to go through you. The whole property was pretty run down with apparent homeless people lurking about. F.Y.I., on my way back through Saskatoon, I stayed at a much nicer hotel for the same rate. I would be happy to send you the photos and will be expecting an adjustment.
