“Great as an economey hotel”

Keystone Hotel

Mar 26, 2008

I have stayed at this hotel every summer for the past six years. I have found the place to be clean, the staff friendly, the breakfast excellent and the value great. I was aware it was a economy hotel and feel my dollar was well spent. Paying 2x+ for a place to sleep at the other hotels is not for me.

“Holy Cow this place is a dump”

Keystone Hotel

This was one of the worse 2 hotels I've ever be in. Do not be fooled by their rates, their continental breakfast or their availability.

The building is essentially a double-tall ATCO trailer. The folks working on highway crews probably have better accomodations that building.

If you don't take my advice, be prepared for:
-horrible beds
-non-existant sound proofing between rooms
-no temperature control
-rude staff

I'm an easy traveler to please, have don't require a Hilton every night and like otherwise "local" properties. This one however takes the cake for a dive of a dump. Just keep moving on.

Safe travels.

“Worst place ever”

2/2 found this review helpful

After trying to find a place to stay we ended up at keystone hotel, they told us that night that we could pay the next day and the price was $95.00 + $10.00 for the extra person. We then proceded to our room, which turned out to be about the size of an average office cubical. Sufficite to say the room was very small and cramped. Later that night as more guests arrived we discoverd that the walls must have been no thicker than 1/4 inch. Everything anyone said within a ten room radius could be clearly heard as if they were talking to you. Also on one side of the wall there was a huge crack that a good amount of the next doors light shown through. We later found out that the place wasn't origanaly a hotel and that it was really a building quickly thrown up to act as office cubicals for the people working on cleaning up the Exxon Valdez oil spill in the 1980s. They then turned the small cubicals into rooms after Exxon left. Furthermore the next day as we are checking out to get away from the place as quick as possible they overcharged us by $30. We told the guy the price we were qouted but he told us we were wrong and over charged us anyway. We are now in battles with the company for ripping us off, because on their very own website it bluntly states that the price is $95 a night with a $10 add-on for one extra person. Either way we will never return to such a terribble place.

“Hotel with work container style”

Keystone Hotel

Aug 22, 2005
6/7 found this review helpful

We stayed in the Keystone Hotel in August 2005.
The hotel looks from outside like a container assembly.
The room was small and we had the feeling of staying in a work container. You could understand every work from the guests next room.
It was old but clean and the front desk service was friendly.
Next time we will look for a nice cabin or B&B.
Sorry but never again.
