Travelodge by Wyndham Quesnel

Pros: The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The in-room Keurig machine was a nice touch that added to the overall convenience. Cons: The room’s decor felt quite gloomy, with dark caramel-coloured walls and heavy brown curtains that made the space feel closed in. Although we had prepaid in advance through Expedia, the owner would not allow us to view the room before check-in, which was very strange and disappointing. Several advertised amenities were also missing. Laundry facilities listed on their website were not available. The signage out front mentioned a pool and hot tub, they have been closed for some time after reading the previous reviews. The surrounding neighbourhood felt somewhat sketchy, which was a bit unsettling.

Nice staff very nice room

It was great!

Not as advertised.

Property was good. No working pool or hot tub. The beds and pillows are atrocious.

Didn’t like it. Everything.

Where do I start. The bathroom was nasty. The sink stopper broke. The towels were thin and thread bare. They only gave us one little bar of soap for both bath and hand basin, one bottle of shampoo two bottles of conditioner nobody ever uses conditioner the overall cleanliness was very poor. The sign outside advertises heated pool and sauna when you go into check-in. A sign says heated pool and sauna are out of service until further notice the room is not made up if you’re staying two nights they don’t make up the bed until you leave. You have to go and get new towels and cups and coffee and etc. if you want them There is no ice machine. There’s no microwave in the room. The property itself is on an extremely busy road it’s it caters to workers likely on contract and staying at the cheapest place they can find. The fellow next to us told us that somebody had broken into his car and stolen all his clothes the night before so it’s a rough part of town. I would suggest staying elsewhere

Ground floor stay was great- door right outside to our motorcycle . It was clean - excellent shower — decor dated to 70s -Mini size tv - air conditioner and fan in bathroom functional but sounded like a Mack truck … close to some great restaurants and walk on bridge by Fraser River . Price was comparable.

The person at the front desk was very pleasant. Room was clean. Good location to walking within the town

The travelodge quesnel was a great place to stay, the room was absolutely spotless even down to the filter in the keurig! Keep in mind it is an old motel, so the bed was pretty firm but like i said, spotless! Would definately stay here again.

Comfortable and affordable

Very clean but old motel in the centre of town. Great for one night stay.

Near Downtown

It may be a slightly older building, but it is very well maintained. The room and bathroom decor is dated, which is fine, but very pleasantly clean. And the staff were helpful and nice. The only drawback is it's right on the highway, so is a little noisy. But overall, if you're looking for a good clean place to rest your head at a budget price, and don't mind a little traffic noise and dated decor, this is your place to stay. I highly recommend it. I give it 4.5 stars.

The price was good for our needs - we were staying for a curling weekend!

Pleasant stay. Very basic. Clean. All a person needs is there.

Due to unforeseen circumstances (road closure in the USA), we were unable to make our reservation- after not being able to get through to the hotel directly, we contacted Expedia and they started a claim on our behalf - it was quite disappointing that the hotel wouldn’t give us a refund or even a partial refund for the no show

I don't like that they use fabreeze in the rooms to cover smells. There are other products available that do not have a perfumed smell. The pool has been closed for years, it would be nice to see it open again.

Convenient location within easy walk to downtown. Right beside Hwy 97 which made easy access northbound.

Great hotel but no microwave.

Good enough for a nights sleep.

This is perfect of you want low cost accommodations. The owner is working really hard to make it decent. No issues with neighbors. Slept well.

Friendly staff. Bathroom wasn't the cleanest.

Dirty bedding ,the room had odour just needing a renovations I won’t be back!

Friendly and clean.

Very quiet and convenient

Given a room set back from the rest,which was quiet. While the decor was older it was clean and in good shape. The owner seemed extremely nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again

Staff was very helpful !

Very nice location super nice check in guy, very good. Room was squeaky clean and everything worked. Plug-ins for devices plentiful, good coffee maker and big bar fridge. Excellent Value.

Very Clean. Location was good. Manager was very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

Was clean, did not make up room or bring coffee or fresh towels for a 2 night stay

It was just a quick overnight, room was clean and comfortable but the surroundings of the place not so great….

For the price, it was good. Traffic at night very noisy. Air conditioner was noisy, and not that effective. We had a suite, and there was no A/C in the other bedroom, and the window screen had a huge hole in it. Breakfast was a bagged meal, and consisted of an apple, a one bite muffin, water, kids juice box, and granola bar. Rooms were clean, and staff was very pleasant.

The room was very clean and the stay was a comfortable one. The manager was very friendly and very helpful. This was greatly appreciated. It was on the main street so had a lot of traffic but was very quiet at night. The windows could be opened so we had good air for our sleep and woke with no headache which often happens in motel rooms. The bathroom was very clean but the bath had no stopper which makes it impossible to have a bath (unless one brings ones own supply of stoppers which we do!) A lot of retired seniors travel and whether a bath or a shower is taken, a grab bar to help enter and get up out of the bath, would be recommended as a safety feature. We were also grateful for a conventional cable TV, as some of the hotels we stayed at have this new streaming system which doesn't have many of the news channels CBCNN, CNN), Knowledge Network or the aboriginal channel APTN. We would be happy top stay again in this Travelodge when we are next in Quesnel. Thank you.

The owner is absolutely wonderful- professional, and very helpful. I will stay there again.

Although it’s an older place it was clean and comfortable I had a kitchenette and didn’t need for anything. I stayed with my dad and was happy that I had my own bedroom instead of two queens side by side. My only issue was I didn’t have an air conditioner in my room and it was really hot a couple of days my bedroom window didn’t have a screen. So I couldn’t open it or mosquitoes would come in. It was a little uncomfortable those nights but that’s a first world problem not a real issue. We were on the second floor and there isn’t an elevator the stairs were difficult for my 83 year old dad. But once in was a nice stay and well worth the money I paid

The room was quiet and remained cool during the day thanks to its not facing west for the afternoon sun. It was also quiet because it did not face the street.

Travelodge use to be a good brand name. There standards are no longer up to what they use to be. Facilities need an upgrade but not to bad for the year. Room was clean and that what matters to me the most.

Clean and nice breakfast

Great. No problems. Bed and pillow comfortable.

The night latch took considerable effort to lock each night due to a misalignment in the door frame. Also the bathroom door could not be closed due to swelling at the top. The pool, sauna, and free breakfast were all cancelled due to COVID so perhaps all of the websites advertising this motel should mention that! Other Travelodge hotels are serving breakfast again, so why not this one? Staff were friendly and courteous, but the facility left us wanting more.

The ad said free breakfast as did the sign out front. We were informed that there was no breakfast and that the pool was closed, even though the billboard sign said there was. We were given twenty dollars toward the four meals that were not supplied. Not satisfactory!

The location was central and easy to access (situated on a primary route, it can be somewhat noisy)....room was clean and tidy / front desk was friendly and helpful. Last month, we were at a Wyndham in Cranbrook enjoying the pool and breakfast, so when I saw the same being provided in Quesnel, we booked .... no pool / no breakfast ..... this should have been noted in their website.....other than that, we WOULD go back.

Somewhat dated but clean & many thoughtful updates Traffic noise begins about 7 am

The property overall looked dated but the room itself was good, clean and comfortable. Some things I did not like, the noise of the bathroom fan which came on automatically with the light, no drinking glasses other than the carboard coffee mugs, and the fact the shower went cold halfway thro my shower - not fun. Despite those issues, the room was good value.

Highway traffic was too noisy. Room was clean but very dated. Needs a reno

No pool or breakfast available even though it’s advertised. Room is very dated but clean. Front desk person was friendly. Highway traffic was too noisy.

The staff were rude and short and could not have done less for me if they had tried.

The owner was chill and nice . Good price and clean room

Parking lot needed to be cleaned up.

Very clean room and very nice staff.

Non Smoking room was total full of smoke. could even smell it on our things were in the room overnight a week later

Very unfriendly, uncooperative. Will not reccomend

Stuff under the bed, filthy carpet. Bed was clean and comfortable.

Clean facility ! Pool & Sauna not operational, Customer from next room sat outside their room evening & night smoking, Vagrant person wandered in parking area

The bed was sagging and uncomfortable. However, staff was friendly and accommodating.

located in a good area

Clean and quiet

Dirty linens in multiple rooms. Strange musty/cigarette smell. Hotel staff was very argumentative and unprofessional. We ended up leaving the location.

Motel was dingy . Blankets were dirty , slept o. Top of the bedcover . Room smelled of stale cigarette . Motel was undergoing renovations .

Yearly guys bike trip. Only really negative is the drugs addicts that they also rent too. The room and premises are very basic. I would not stay again unless it was the only place in town.

Very disappointing stay. Rooms are dated and not very clean. Had an issue with the air conditioning which only marginally worked. Cockroach in the room. Would never stay here again.

I booked this hotel last minute for one of my employees to stay at who ran out of driving hours for the day. Paid in full before he got to the hotel. This hotel refused to allow my employee to stay with them because he did not have a Credit Card for incidentals. Nowhere was it mentioned that the person staying at the hotel would have to provide a credit card for this reason. After checking my employee's ID the manager of the hotel still refused him and actually threw his ID on the floor and told him to "get the F&%# out of the hotel now". Even in a pinch this hotel was unwilling to help us out and is REFUSING to give us a refund. We DID NOT stay at this hotel and they are still going to keep our money and not refund us. My guess is they are double booking and trying to make double profits. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS.

An older hotel but clean & well kept up. Bed was good and good value.

Good service and clean but it was a little outdated - especially the kitchenette.

I wiped all touch areas myself due to Covid 19 and there was no dirt picked up with my Lysol wipes. Very clean place

Clean, friendky proprietor, walking dustance to town

Nothing unique, nothing wrong. A basic room, clean, comfortable bed.

Although not the most modern, the room was spotless, smelled fresh, and the bed was crisp and fresh. The exterior was well lit. The desk person was super courteous and helpful. Overall one of the stays I’ve had anywhere.

Overall, it was quite good (value wise). The only dislike was that being on the main highway there was quite a bit of traffic noise all night long.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice location , felt very safe. Would recommend !

Acceptable for the price. But since it's right on Hwy 97 there's lots of road noise througout the night. Beware if you're a light sleeper. Area is relatively safe and within walking distance to local eateries.

I ordered non-smoking room, but it was felt that they used to smoke here.

One night stay with standard free breakfast. One nice feature was the warm pool. Interior finishes are slightly dated but clean and in good shape.

My Teenage granddaughter enjoyed the pool.

The pool was nice and warm. The rooms were large. The wifi in the rooms was horrible.

The family who ran the hotel was so nice. We had a very nice time staying there

Noisy location. Had to make my own bed from scratch. No pool even though I called ahead to check

Pool was not working. Little disappointed . Advertised with a pool

Clean room, good location, quick check in/out, quiet.

Booked about 10 days prior and there was no notification that the pool was to be closed for maintenance during our stay. This was the top selling feature of why I booked at this location. Front desk just shrugged their shoulders as if to say "not my problem". They offered to cancel my reservation with no penalty but that did not solve my problem. Also, despite having the "quietest room in the complex" (tucked in a corner which was good) the traffic noise from the adjacent highway was very distracting.

Very friendly service, made us feel welcomed. Apologized pool was being serviced

I liked the chairs and ashtrays outside the doors.

The pool was really nice! Was a good size, and even had some depth to it! And really quiet, had it mostly to ourselves the entire time.. Our room was pretty nice too, tho our non-smoking room did smell strongly like someone had just smoked in it, despite being told we were in fact in the non-smoking room by the front desk.

Pool was nice. Beds terrible, not comfortable at all. Like sleeping on cardboard.

Very friendly staff. Very clean rooms. The shower temperature changed randomly and unexpectedly.

We were just passing through Quesnel, arriving at 8pm and planning to be gone by the morning. We wanted to go down to the river to watch the sunset, and then have a late dinner at the Mr. Mikes downtown. We picked this hotel because it was less than a 5 minute walk from both of those things. This place is certainly an older hotel, and so is the furniture (couch, bed, fridge, etc.). Although it is in impressively good condition and well taken care of despite that fact. Check in was quick and easy, and the man working the front desk was friendly. The price was right for the location and experience, so I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in a Quesnel.

The hotel is on the main road, so if you get a room closer to the road the traffic will keep you up. Besides that the rooms are clean and the staff is great. The continental breakfast is a bit lacking (no eggs/sausages, waffles, etc), but had toast, bagels, yogurt, apples, bananas, cereal, etc. The pool was warm and fun. Overall a good place to stay.

We put in smoking room that smelled like an ashtray. We to go buy freebreez and the fan on all day to get where felt comfortable to be in the room. The WHOLE room needed a cleaning from top to bottom. Beds were terrible and blankets needed to be cleaned. Just terrible.

Loved the heated pool qnd heating light in the bathroom. Bed was super comfy.. Nice clean area. Lot of parking. Beautiful view.

Great for price. Property was clean and quiet Excellent staff

The wifi is w very weak cannot get service tried multiple times

Made to order breakfast was great everything was delicious

Room smelt like smoke, suppose to be non smoking. Forced to sit outside the room with doors open to air out the room. Carpets old and very poor house keeping. Needed to get my cards reset 3 times. Reception had a strong smell from ethnic cooking. Had to ask reception for ice. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place.

Very convenient location. Quiet in the room we stayed. Staff was great.

They need new blankets, bed linens and drapery in the rooms as the curtains had a tear, the blankets were full of holes and the bed linens were quite worn. However the room was clean and the continental breakfast was very good and the breakfast room very clean.

The place is VERY Clean, the manage was very nice. He keeps a close eye, out for any trouble too. We we’re sitting in our room one evening, a man tapped on my window and the manage was right there right away! Told the guy to move on. My Mom was a little rattled, my stomach jumped but I was fine after I saw the manage come right away. I felt safe!!!we would stay here again.

When we checked in we were asked how many of us there was and if we had any pets. It was 2 adults and our 20 month old son. We explained we had no pets as it's an additional charge. The day after we checked in, we went to the local park for our son to play and when we returned back, we could not access our room with either card we had. I went to the front desk and they locked us out intentionally saying that the cleaning staff told them we had an animal in our room. We were very upset to say the least after telling them that we don't even own a pet!!! The cleaning lady who went in our room didn't even clean anything (no fresh towels, emptied garbage.....nothing!) We felt like we were just being spied on! We will never return to this hotel again. Also, the hotel is located on a EXTREMELY busy highway and could here semi-trucks and traffic going at all hours. It was 4 nights of not sleeping.

Stopped here for night going to Dawson Creek. Nice half way point from the coast. Close to Mr. Mikes for dinner as well as Safeway and other restaurants. Our TV was not working and after the manager playing with it without success the gave us a better room so we were happy.

This place has the best pool. Indoor, warm, big and clean. Unfortunately it was closed for Reno’s. I hope it continues to be the same as before.
