“Great hotel for price paid”

Stayed here 2 nites to tour the university of alberta. Room was nice a clean, free wireless internet and connection was great. Free in room coffee, had no problems getting more coffee packages. In-hotel resturant was great. Good food at a fair price. Hotel was very close to bus station. Could get to anywhere I needed to get in the city from this bus station (West edmonton mall) I would stay here again and recommend anyone to. Friendly staff.

“can't wait to go back”

This hotel staff was courteous and friendly. The hotel was comfortable. I would highly recommend this to someone else.

“ok for the money”

it is ok consedering that it is for sleeping night but i won;t recomendet to or for a family.

“Good value”

For the cost of a room, I would deem this hotel as a good value. The room was clean as was the lobby. It is under-going renovations and I suspect that once done, it will be a very nice hotel. It's not in the greatest area of Edmonton but if like me your business is in that end of the city, its convenient.

“Had a better experience than I thought I was going to have”

The reviews that I've read about this hotel were pretty bad, but for the price I was happy enough with the hotel. They were performing updates to the hotel so a lot of things weren't in use including the elevator and pool. The mall is a bus 5-15min ride away, or if you're in a walking mood probably about 30/45mins away. The staff except for the manager are very helpful in telling you about the area and the mall. You get $10 off breakfast downstairs each day but just go over to the IGA across the road for something you'll like it better. Otherwise the rooms are big and they have a fringe and microwave in them which is handy when on a budget.

“Nothing spectacular but definitely do serve purpose if you are a business/leisure traveller”

The structure is a old but they are doing some overhauling now, the elivator was creepy though..but rooms were clean (amenities i have not used- the pool, restaurant).

“Not a bad hotel”

I read some recent reviews after booking this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in need of renovations, which they are doing. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is not in the best part of town, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a scary place to be. I was looking forward to using the pool, and although I could have, it was very cold - there was a sign on the door. Overall, for the amount of time I spend in a hotel room, and for the price, it was fine.

“Frill-free convenience”

Started off on a bad note, trying to check-in @ 4pm. Short-staffing left the deskclerk unaware as to what rooms were completed by Housekeeping. Waited 20 minutes. Hotel also undergoing 'renovations'- much needed for hallway carpets. The room was good however, and the staff were polite & apologetic. Within the same building is a family restaurant, convenient for breakfast or dinner. Also enclosed is a lounge & video-poker bar, convenient for late night drinks. Parking was ample & access to adjacent streets was very easy. I would definitely go back, just don't bother until 4:30pm.

“comfort on a budget”

I would recommend this hotel to those looking for a clean comfy place to stay whole on a budget.

“Edmontons Best Value Hotel”

For the price you cannot beat the Howard Johnson's. It was a pleasure dealing with staff, Room was very comfortable. The wireless internet was fast and always on. No compliants and I have stayed at much pricer hotels in Edmonton and this is where I will be staying next time I am in town
