The blanket on the bed was dated was the furniture. The towels were gray, but I’m sure they get a lot of men off the oil field so that’s understandable. They were clean Gray. However, the sheets were clean. The pillowcases were clean the bathroom and the room was clean. The breakfast room was excellent. They had a wide variety of cereals plus toast and bagels also a great variety of banana bread and other sweets. The coffee was always fresh.

Close to the water, friendly staff, I left 500$ in cash, my wallet, VR head set, gaming laptop, passport, on my dresser not expecting to get room cleaning done (normally I’m paranoid and lock it up near me when I travel. My room was spotless and my items were where I left it. Only down side was no matter what there was a wet smell, it wasn’t a deal breaker but staff did leave my windows open probably noticing the smell. Again my valuables were unsecured but the smell persisted. I did not complain, however they were fully booked it appeared so I doubt they would have been able to change me rooms. There was the shores walking distance from the area very peaceful, lots of amenities, liquor store, a really nice 24 hour gym across the street. And a pharmacy (incase you forget Tylenol or zofran for your hangovers). One other caviet when I booked I chose this place as they offered breakfast. There are no protein options, but they do have some decent store bought pastries and all the cereal and milk you can eat/drink. I mostly just grabbed a coffee and a muffin to go, I was hoping for eggs, even the cafeteria stuff, who knows maybe they will add it to their morning menu if enough people request it. But if I’m back in cold lake I will be returning to this hotel/motel.
