Hit and Miss.
The inn didn't have the reservation from when I called a month earlier. But the place was practically empty so we easily got a room. It turns out that they cater to oilfield workers (surprise!) and on the weekends the hotel is dead.
So as we headed to the room, we were silently dreading what sort of a room we were going to have. But we were pleasantly surprised, the room is very nice. Everything seemed to be recently renovated so it had no scratch marks or dings you'd usually find in most hotels. The bathroom was just as new and had a very tall shower-head which is a great thing instead of the typical lowering your head to wash hair like most hotels.
The room is also very spacious, having a kitchenette, a 2-seat dining area, a loveseat, and a king-sized bed. The ceiling is also remarkably tall - almost 11 feet tall or so (maybe its just an upper floor thing?).
So if this is a hit & miss review, where are the misses? It's the employees. I've already mentioned that whomever took my reservation screwed that task up. But we had other issues as well.
We had a room for Friday and Saturday nights. Come Saturday morning at 7:30am housekeeping is knocking at the door. Honestly, housekeeping at 7:30am?!
Also in the miss section is that the hotel only coded our room keys for 1 night instead of the required 2 nights. Not a huge deal, but annoying since it required multiple trips to the front desk to finally get the keys to work.
So the inn is surprisingly nice and I would recommend it (not that anybody is ever going to use this review for a pleasant getaway to Hardisty) but you have to work around the employees at the hotel... they're nice but not he greatest at their jobs. read more
