“Go elsewhere”

Nisku Inn

Feb 25, 2008

Stayed at the Nisku Inn to catch an early morning flight, as well as to stay overnight when the flight returned one week later. Selected it as it is very close to Edm Internat'l, reasonably priced, and had a pool (we were travelling with two kids).

However, in the future I will pay extra and go elsewhere. The front desk staff managed to confuse my reservation not once, not twice, but three times - claiming I had no reservation for the first night there - even AFTER I had called the SAME DAY to confirm a late arrival. The desk reception staff were largely indifferent and even rude, both on the telephone and in person. The rooms were shabby and run down; the website claim that the hotel has been renovated seems to extend only to the lobby area. Pop and ice machines were not working (I went to two different spots to get ice and pop and ended up getting ice from the bar and pop from the lobby shop).

The one bright spot was the airport shuttle in the morning - the driver was courteous and funny (and it was only 5 a.m.). However, that shuttle services more than one hotel. As such, I would just go to one of the other hotels to get the same service.

Overall, not a nightmarish experience, but I'd rather be dealt with professionally and courteously and have a tidy, efficient space, especially AFTER a long flight back from another country with two tired kids - and I'll gladly pay a bit more for that.

“Not good in any aspect”

For starters I will say, horrible service, not equiped for hanicap in anyway, no elevators, no easy to open doors, the list continues. Air Canada put me up for the night when I missed my flight due to their error and not having a wheelchair for me at the gate. It took 25 min for the Nisku Shuttle to come and pick me up. Once I got there the service was horrible at the desk, the food in the restaurant took over 45 min to get, the phones in the room didnt work properly and was very difficult to get around the room and bathroom! I would have rather paid myself to go to another hotel rather than stayn free there! It just made my trip that much worse!

“Good until the morning”

The hotel was nice, relatively quiet and very clean. Food was good in the restaurant. The problem came when we were getting ready in the morning....the power went out, only in our suite and they could not find a breaker...which is fine, stuff happens; however, you would think they would help us out with a flashlight, another room with a plug in for hair dryers and curling irons, something, as we were leaving and had to be at the airport within 1/2 hour. Security guard stood at the door and went on about how he couldn't find a breaker.....not what I really cared about, as we were on a schedule. Not impressed with the service that way, and it left a very bad impression. We will never stay there again unless it is as a last resort.

2/2 found this review helpful

Not fussy on accomadations but I would think twice about letting my dog stay here. Stayed at many motels and this is about the worse yet. Cool evening turned the heat on but I guesss they shut it off at the breaker. Not fridge & have to pay for ice...yes pay for ice...is that not just frozen free water? Carpet with very large stains and hate to imagine what was there. Mattress is gross barf stains on the sides . Came back to our room and bathroom was not cleaned or bed made or clean towels. We were told by the owner that the beds are not made everyday and towels not replaced. As I wrie this I have a small flea or bug of some sort flying around my head.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE! SLEEP IN THE DITCH WARMER AND CLEANER!

“Non-Smoking Room smelled like smoke / no elevator”

Nisku Inn

Aug 27, 2006

We booked here for the convenience of the location to the airport. Our room was on the second floor - poolside..... there was no elevator and with our 6 bags (yes, we overpacked!!) and two small children, it was a pain to haul everything up the stairs. We asked for a room on the main floor but they had nothing but smoking rooms left (no thanks!). However, our NON-SMOKING poolside room smelled badly like cigarette smoke (I'm thinking due to the smoking restaurant beside the pool maybe and the other smoking rooms on the same floor?). The POOLSIDE rooms are very noisy, especially since we had to get up early (4:30) for our flight. I wish they had asked us when we booked if we wanted poolside or not.

We used the pool but had to ask for towels from the front desk (then they only brought 4 towels to the poolside for all of the guests swimming!!) The room didn't have any extras - no iron, no fridge, no microwave - VERY BASIC for the price we paid.

The shuttle service was wonderful (on time). I doubt we would stay here again if there was the option of another hotel nearby with a pool. If we did have to stay here, I would make sure I booked a room in a quiet area of the hotel and preferably on the main floor.
