Great Western Inn & Suites

The room itself was very nice and clean.

The breakfast was a little sparse.

Location

Breakfast (not many options)

My room was impeccably clean. While there was little else available, the free breakfast did have a waffle maker.

The property is situated right on one of the main highways into town, and there is basically no sound-deadening to the front. There's a fair bit of road noise, but nothing can really be done about that. Additionally, while I stayed, most of the guests were itinerant mining workers. They all woke up, started their big diesel trucks, and left between 3a and 5a. No sleeping in for me!

Breakfast was very lame. Beds were hard. Clean room. The bathroom light, fan switch and the vanity lights were all on one switch. It was very annoying to not be able to control them separately as the fan was very loud. Truck started up at 5:00 AM just outside our door and sounded like it was in our room so we didn’t sleep well. The lobby had two towels down for “welcome” mats and had to use the side lobby door because the front doors were out of order. For $100 I expected more.

Before booking I did my homework and read past reviews on the property. Based on those our only expectation was to be able to sleep for the night. Sadly we were miserable. The beds were very uncomfortable, we were provided with 2 pillows per a bed and they were paper thin. so thin that if I had asked for more pillows I would have needed several. We ended up at Walmart getting some $4 pillows for the second night. The room was reserved for 4 people, they only provide 2 bath towels, how does that work? The rooms are outdated and in dire need of updating. The chair in the room was a broken office chair that nearly put me on the floor. The property is full of rig workers. Each and every one we had contact with were very friendly. They need to find a better way to get their groups together in the morning. The car alarms going off disturbs everyone. The staff members were very friendly and check in was easy.
