Gold Eagle Lodge - Bannock bison burger - Hotels Near Me - North Battleford, Saskatchewan

When you think of staying in a small town you picture a dumpy hotel with no AC that you are dying to leave. Once you walk into the Gold Eagle you'll realize that this is completely different. The lobby is the first thing you see and it's incredible for what you would expect. The finishes are great and the staff are always around and friendly. It reminds me of something you'd see in a mountain getaway like Banff or Jasper where there is attention to detail and it is obvious that people maintain the property. The rooms themselves are very nice; we booked a basic king-bed room which was rather large as it came with a sitting area (couch, chair) and a work desk. In addition there was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was clean and modern and stocked with all the regular amenities. Air conditioning worked great however it was a bit noisy. The TVs were also older (CRT-style TVs). There is a casino next door but the hotel itself is not physically connected to the neighbouring casino which really limits the amount of noise you hear. I could not recall hearing any noise from the highway in front of the hotel either. Free WiFi and continental breakfast were provider. The continental breakfast was delicious, it has fresh-baked muffins, waffles, bagels, toast, etc. and was actively staffed so that tables were cleaned and items refilled. Other reviewers mentioned fresh fruit but during our visit the only fresh fruit they had were apples and some sort of fruit mixture in a bowl that had a bunch of syrup-like liquid in the bottom so it didn't seem overly appealing. We did not have a chance to try out the pool/hot tub area as it closed at 11:00pm, however it looked very bright and inviting with 3 hot tub areas. The location is the same as any other; North Battleford is not a large place so driving wise it is not far to anything. Within short walking distance is the casino and a little further ahead (5-10 minute walk) is a mall complex, Tim Hortons, No Frills, Boston Pizza, etc. Overall a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it. While I haven't stay at other hotels in North Battleford this hotel is leaps and bounds above what I have experienced in other cities from hotel chain that operate in the area. read more

The first room we were given smelled like Chinese food. They then put us in a room that had a urine smelling bathroom. Once cleaned, we were fairly satisfied with our experience. Definitely the best hotel Battleford has to offer by far. Nice fitness area, pool, 3 hot tubs. Excellent customer service. I suppose my issue was with housekeeping. Maybe they should stay on top of the staff. They're a little money hungry as well, after all we had been through they had the nerves to charge us $8 for checking out 15 min late. Really? read more

The lodge has great facilities and is finishing a complete remodel. Looks really nice. Their free continental breakfast is head and shoulders the most unimpressive spread I have ever seen or tasted. Tasteless in most all respects. don't count on it for anything but calories. Never thought bagels and cream cheese could be disappointing. And one really amazing thing, can just when you have figured that the fans in hotel bathrooms are just there to make noise x you come here and they work very well. read more
