Medicine Hat Hotels with Bars

There were no bath towels for three people, and only two people were prepared. When I contacted the lobby, the cleaning staff came back, so I was told that I couldn't give it to you until tomorrow.

New hotel with great amenities and convenient location. Staff was very good, all friendly and helpful. Location was across from shopping area with many dining choices. Hotel was spotless. Rooms were very large with a small kitchen and a safe.

This is an interesting older hotel. The clerk told me it is under renovation, and I could see it is a work in progress. Here's our observations: Pro: *Very inexpensive. *Our room was clean, the mattress was new, firm and comfortable. *The shower and surround was new, and there were disability bars - nice to have something to hold onto even if you're not disabled. There were lots of hooks to hang things on. *The mini-fridge included a small freezer suitable for ice-paks. *Beautiful chandelier in the lobby. *This will sound a little weird, but the fire alarm went off not too long after we checked in. Fire alarms aren't fun anywhere, but I was reassured because 1) the alarm system and lighting all worked properly and seemed modern, 2) the fire doors all closed automatically as they should, and 3) the desk clerk was able to target the problem and got the issue resolved quickly. I've stayed in some pricier hotels where I've seen fire doors propped open. *The staff was quite nice, and I was impressed with how calm the desk clerk was during the fire alarm episode. *Location was terrific. There are restaurants and interesting things to see within a short walking distance of the hotel. There's a lovely heritage church right beside the hotel - we weren't able to go in, but the stained glass looked stunning, even from the outside. *The window wasn't sealed so you could let fresh air in. *New TV which I was able to connect to my Netflix account without having to ask my husband to decipher the remote controls :-) *The price included a continental breakfast - pretty simple, but you could get coffee and make waffles, toast, cereal. Con: *What bothered me the most was the door to our room didn't have a bar lock or a deadbolt. I saw some rooms had card readers, so I hope the Villa is going in that direction. *Need a rubber mat for the bathtub. *The air conditioner kept the room at a nice temperature, but it was quite noisy especially after the cooling cycle turned off. *The breakfast room could use a radio or TV - it was very quiet. FYI: *It is a downtown hotel and there are unhoused people in the area. No one bothered us and there weren't any unhoused people on the hotel grounds. However, I know some people are upset by the presence of unhoused people. *Our room was plain - it had a very nice antique-style chair and lamp and painting, but the rest of the room was blank or standard hotel furniture. *No microwave, in-room coffee or hair dryer. *The car parking lot is locked at night. This hotel was good value and I suspect it will be fancier (and more expensive!) some day, but at this point in its development, go in with budget hotel expectations.

I live in this city and sometimes it would be nice to have a night with my boyfriend without interruptions and some privacy, so we booked a hotel. The room was clean, the location can't get any better. However, the pictures of the room online were extremely deceptive. Our king size room really was just a king size bed, there wasn't room for anything else like the jacuzzi tub or a nice sized bathroom like on the website. At check-in when the front desk gentleman noticed I was from that city, I explained that my house was too busy and I just wanted a night to myself, some privacy for once. Apparently that is code for this game he played called 1001 questions and then he gave me a room right beside the front desk. Hotel was fine, no complaints. The staff however might want to rethink his path in life. Maybe he should persue becoming a private investigator.
