Breakfast is cold and the same every day, and they give it to you in a paper bag as if we were school children; the coffee is water.

The room was clean it was okay. The room definitely needs a bit of a update/renovation. The circa 1998 rose oak wood decor is a bit outdated and very tacky. Otherwise, it was decent, much better than staying in camp.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I chose this hotel for a business trip because it advertised a hot breakfast and an on-site pub/restaurant, ideal for relaxing after long finance meetings without needing to go out. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish.Upon arrival, our room was extremely hot—close to 100°F. While that might be appreciated in the middle of a Fort McMurray winter, it was far too much for a 23°C day. We were moved to another room, supposedly an executive suite, which was still uncomfortably warm. My wife was told maintenance would come by, but no one ever showed up, leaving her waiting for hours.To make matters worse, the restaurant and bar were closed, forcing us to walk into town for dinner. Back in the room, even the alarm clock was set to the wrong time. The next morning, there was no sign of the promised hot breakfast—or any breakfast at all. The juice machine was broken, and the “to-go” breakfast offered by reception consisted of a yogurt, muffin, apple, and an expired bacon and cheese biscuit, which my wife, being Muslim, couldn’t eat. The apples provided were also rotten. The only tea options were peppermint or green tea—no regular breakfast tea or Earl Grey available.Service was equally disappointing. Lila at the front desk was dismissive and rude, spending over an hour on the phone instead of addressing our concerns. Overall, the experience was frustrating and far below expectations. I strongly recommend staying elsewhere—Stonebridge Suites, for example

Checked in very late after a flight. My first room had a very loud water drain above the bed that sounded like a water fall so I had to go down to change rooms. Second room was great despite the bedroom window lookin out to a hallway.
