Super 8 by Wyndham Hearst on

I checked out the room in person, with the front desk clerk, before renting, . All was in order. Spacious, clean, modern. Beds, 2 beds, with 3 comfortable pillows each. I. tried turning on TV by remote. I found it had been unplugged. a lamp was unplugged as well. I plugged in TV and it functioned, as did all lamps. Ran a bath. Water hot, good pressure. About the bath. Weird bumpiness to coating, and not a traction matter. It was as if a coating had been applied to surface. Not a good tactile feel for bathing. Found underneath the formed bath wall that was the one area that needed more attention to cleaning. Low, hidden under the overhang of the formed wall. I was in #149 parked my vehicle within sight at the back. Balcony and stairs convenient. There was a BBQ in parking lot, I did not use. Room had coffee cup brewer, microwave, and medium small fridge. I played with fridge, found 4 was a cold setting. Not initially obvious. Heating, air conditioner working well, I set at 68 for overnight, and 72 in day.time. A bit off low knocking on wall at times. Neighbour couple with child. Wasn’t loud enough nor prolonged to bother me. Customer washer drier down hall. Both take 2 loonies. Got loonies from CIBC bank, which were pleased to sell rolls.

The outside door lock on my door would not work. The card did not work and the other door was bolted from inside. A helpful and clever employee ultimately solved the problem, but it took an hour.

Check in staff had so poor (English) language skills to the point where she could not be understood. Toilet was hit and miss whether it would fill back up with water after flushing. Bathroom needs a little love (small section of tub had finish peeled off it, tub needs recaulking). Breakfast was ok. A/C was ok. Nice that this property is trying to be enviro-friendly with pump dispensers rather than individual soap products.

Only negative was a lack of parking for a vehicle with a trailer.

Surpisingly nice room, clean and well-equipped. Nice toiletries and spotless bathroom, pleasant front desk staff and comfortable, firm mattresses. Breakfast was basic, but fine, and the location is perfect for those passing through. Even though it's on the highway, it was very quiet at night.
