Decent hotel though it could use some improvements

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 13, 2023
Decent hotel to stay in Sylvan Lake. It is a bit dated and could certainly use some upgrades. On the plus side, it is reasonably well located, close (10 minute walk) to the lake, yet far enough from the main drag to allow for restful sleep at night. Bed are also fairly comfortable and room service was provided daily.

Some of the cons were that the room was hot at night and the A/C unit was loud and blew cold air directly on the bed, so it was tricky to balance the temperature throughout the night. Also, the hotel has no elevator, so it is necessary to haul luggage through the staircase if staying on the upper floors. Lastly, windows have no bug screens so opening them is an invitation for mosquitoes and other insects to come inside the room.

Seems pricey $185 for a nights stay but you don’t have many options in this town. Front desk staff very friendly but call ahead and ask them to put ac on before you get there. Boiling hot room on a hot day. Took over an hour to cool down at 9pm and we had to go for a walk before we could be in the room to sleep

Stayed here for one night and it was NOT good.
My room was on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator so had to drag my case up several flights of stairs after dislocating my thumb that morning...ouch!
First impressions of the room were good and it looked clean, but that soon changed. There was odd discolouration at the top of one of the walls like there had been water damage or something.
The room had AC which was great...except the AC unit sounded like a plane taking off. There was no remote so I had to keep jumping out of bed to turn it on/off. It was too hot in the room to sleep without it on. I tried to sleep with the balcony door open, but other hotel guests were outside smoking cannabis (it's a no smoking property) and the smell was coming into my room, so it was back to the noisy AC. The pillows were hard & lumpy and I ended up with a sore neck/shoulders. The comforter had a fresh crispy stain on it (mmmmm) and had obviously not been laundered. Thankfully it was so hot that I didn't need the comforter, but...ewwww.
The bathroom was clean. The water pressure of the shower was so high that it felt like I was being jetwashed.
The only positive thing I can say is that the bed was comfy, but I think I got about 2 hours sleep (in segments) in total.
The hotel is by the lake, but the main section of the lake where the town is, and where everyone goes is about a 30 min walk away.
Definitely would not stay here again. I'm sure there are nicer places to stay for $200/night.

Room tip: Parking lot is small. No elevator.

The room was excellent. The breakfast was very good. The location is very nice. It’s a very clean hotel. It was difficult to communicate when checking in as the front desk clerk didn’t seem to understand English too well.
