Good morning wehbeast, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel, the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. We appreciate the wonderful score you have shared along with your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Back during the conception stage. we completed approximately six detailed surveys, with hotel guests who travel to Fort McMurray. The survey responses were key in determining a pool did not make the top ten list of what hotel guests travelling to Fort McMurray were looking for. The survey is also the reason why our guest rooms only have one bed. Hotel guests travelling to Fort McMurray wanted more room in their guest room to relax after a long day at work or a long day travelling. It is great you noted a "Quiet Stay", survey participants also wanted to be able to sleep soundly at night and also during the day if they were working overnight shifts. Location turned out to really appealing to our guests. Our guests love saving a half-hour travelling to the oilsands sites and a half-hour returning from oilsands sites. It really does add to the quality of life for guests who choose our location. We appreciate the feedback you have shared. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites in Fort McMurray. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites

Hotel's Favourite
Free parking with no hassles - a spot right outside the lobby each time. Check in and check out were easy. The hotel texted me before to clarify how many rooms I had booked to make sure it wasn't an error. They texted again after I left about an item that I forgot in the room. The clerk answered the phone on the first ring. The breakfast was truly delicious. I had large helpings of an omlette, cold slices of roast beef and tomato slices. COVID not a issue as the buffet is served by a staff member. Hard boiled eggs were prepacked and ready to go as was fruit. The breakfast was a huge time-saver for me on the trip and allowed me to get through the day without having to stop for lunch. The bed had 6 pillows which I've not seen in more expensive hotels. The doors for slam loudly. The construction is newer. Extremely well-run hotel. The Best Western brand is misleading as it caused me to imagine a budget hotel. This is the opposite of that and much better run than many 4 and 4.5 star hotels.…

This hotel and staff is the epitome of friendly! The staff took the time to learn my name and my preferences in the hotel and at the restaurant. It is a very nice way to spend time away from home!! They say hello in the hallways and are super courteous at the front desk! Give them a try!

The only negatives I have are that I didn’t have an option for a bath tub in the room (shower only) and the hotel doesn’t have a pool (Mac Island was also closed while we were in town). Otherwise, everything was amazing. I had two kids with me and the staff were so great with them and in general. The food was amazing as well. Definitely a great hotel!

The staff were so polite and helpful from holding doors open for you to welcoming smiles and sincere good morning greetings. Breakfast was filling and tasty with a chef to make omelettes and a variety of choices. The bed was a bit firm for our liking but everything else was top notch.

Staff at this hotel were clearly invested in the hotel and in the people who stay there. They responded to requests, and thought ahead. They were also careful about COVID protocols and cleanliness. The room itself was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you might need (from wine glasses to a cutting board), and everything was clean and fresh.

Very courteous staff, friendly and willing to go that extra mile to make the stay very enjoyable. Staff check in and offer assistance when required. Underground parking was great as always, breakfast is probably the best complementary meal in Alberta.

This is a newer hotel in Fort McMurray area and in a industrial area so lots truckers and contractors. I really have complain about the room and restaurant and fitness center. The only issue i had was when checking out I was charged an extra day due to early checkout. Nobody told me at the time of checking in that if checking early I need to provide 24-hr advanced notice. Called front desk to discuss reversal of charge but they declined citing hotel policy. Seemed like a money grab in pandemic situation. Be aware!

Good morning yupeak2021, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback related to your recent experience at the Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites. I want to apologize if our team was unable to accurately explain exactly what an early departure charge is for. When we take a reservation you ask us to guarantee the specific dates of your reservation. We consider those dates to be sold to you. We do not take extra bookings to place ourselves in an oversold situation. When a hotel is oversold a guest who has a valid reservation arrives at the hotel only to be told, I am sorry we are not able to check you in to our hotel, even though you have a valid reservation, because we have no rooms left. Look at it from another viewpoint, if we had taken an extra reservation and in turn asked you to leave a day earlier you would not be a happy guest. When a guest checks out early the hotel is given a very limited window to try and re-sell the room. There are very few guests arriving in Fort McMurray without an advance hotel reservation. This is the reason why, at every hotel, guest servicve agents make a point to go over your departure date with you. I can assure you it has nothing to do with the Pandemic, we are one of few hotels that did NOT add additional charges related to the ongoing Pandemic. I hope I have porovided an adequate explanation for you. I never want a guest to leave our hotel feeling as though their business was not valued. Hopefully on a return visit we can provide you with everything you need to have a positive experience with us. Regards, Paul R. Jones, CHA General Manager Best Western Plus Sawridge Suites Fort McMurray
