Billy Barker Casino Hotel

Excellent, very clean and quiet

Clean room

The advertised pictures were not our experience at all. The pictures show a well lit, decorated building with a quaint, old room and furniture. There were no lights on the building, and our room looked like every other hotel room. The person at the desk was not friendly and charged an extra $100 without explaining why.

Clean rooms

Charming. Cute decor in Barkerville style. Very clean and newly renovated

The room was quite small.

The front desk clerk on my morning of checkout was fantastic! She knew how to sell me the stay and play golf passes and, when I left a bag behind, she phoned me right away to come retrieve it. Excellent service!

Clean comfortable small room, restaurant closed at 8pm and did not open the following day. Stat holiday. understandable. although rare for Hotels to not feed guests on Holidays. Maybe bring in some coffee or something.

Tourist trap prices for a basic hotel with average amenities. Same hotel would probably be half the price in a more competitive market. In the center of town so very convenient to everything.

Good food, clean room. Nice place.

Great place. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed and walking distance to everything you would need in downtown Quesnel. We really enjoyed the stay and will stay again

We had a nice stay in this centrally located hotel.

I always enjoy staying at this hotel when passing through Quesnel. Nice character hotel centrally located.

Great Stay, clean and cool hotel.

Was fine.

Did not expect such a nice hotel

Fun place to stay, breakfast was good, room was nice with comfortable bed and clean! Staff was friendly.

Room was very old, not what the pictures showed when we booked.

It’s my go to when I drive home from up North. Super clean and close to everything.

Close to all

Very good

It is a casino hotel. Not real fancy, but clean and fine. The staff was very friendly and inviting.

Great place to stay

Quaint and clean, great friendly staff! Lol bed our stay!

Room was well renovated.

Very good simple restaurant, short walk to mainstreet

Great location, comfortable beds and friendly staff. I do however have some “noise” issues with this hotel. I was on the 2nd floor and you can hear every single footstep from the 3rd floor room. Be sure to request a room on the 3rd floor. The room doors also slam shut (I suspect the self closing mechanism is not set to make for a softer closure) which is an issue early morning and later in the evening when you try to sleep. Otherwise no complaints

This hotel was super cute. Room, hallways and restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly.

Front desk clerk was awesome. Room is great

This is a very clean hotel. The beds are very comfortable. It has an antique flair. The restaurant has a full menu. There is a casino attached to the hotel which is a nice option. For the price you can't go wrong.

Nice property with nice rooms. Great service as well.

We always enjoyed our stay in this hotel, every time we're visit Quesnel.

older property; very clean; staff was great.

Great stay, discount on restaurant would be ideal

Great hotel. Very clean. We stayed in the executive suite and it was nicely updated. Had a great stay and all of the staff were amazing.

Close to all of downtown area

Super unique hotel with lots of charm. Rooms were nice, clean and bed was very comfortable. The casino was fun and the food in the cafe was great!!!

My wife and I were in Quesnel for a car show, the hotel was nice and the location was perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

.

Love this place. Room is so clean and comfortable. Staff is awesome.

Very accommodating and polite. Most comfortable beds Great security Clean and organized

Amazing staff no matter where you were. Restaurant, hotel, casino. Super friendly and informative. Will DEFINITELY stay there again.

Comfortable bed, Room was clean and cozy

Everything was great on our stay the food at the restaurant was very good the rooms were clean

When I booked this hotel, I was skeptical, having stayed in other Casino type places. But I was very impressed with this hotel. It was clean, the attached restaurant superb, and the room was absolutely delightful. I was expecting it to be noisy, but we never heard a peep all night. An exceptional place at a very reasonable price. My partner and I were so impressed we are going to write to the Hotel General Manager to compliment him on a great place.

Good place for a short stay. Did its job.

The Billy Barker hotel was an amazing place! The food was great; the location was convenient. The ambiance of the Gold Rush era was all around. We had a medical issue at home and had to cancel our second night abrubtly, and the desk person said that she would see what she could do (I booked through Expedia). My receipt showed the one night only. Very much appreciated!

Had a fantastic stay.

Friendly staff and a unique outside of the building. Good value for the room that was clean but nothing beyond that. Best place around in my opinion was Barkerville Brewing, they had awesome beer.

Decent place nice staff. Walkable to a brewery and Resturant. Close to river walk path and bridge

5 minute walk from bars and restaurants. Hallways look a little rundown but room is good.

Nicely renovated that kept the charm of the building but provided and excellent stay

Casino downstairs. Close to restaurants

I liked it was close to the family. Parking was easy room was clean

Needs a little upgrading. The restaurant and casino were great.

The theme of the hotel and the history of the region is awesome!

As I left on my last day,some guy was handling a bike locked on a truck. We eyeballed each other,and then he left. Zero parking security. On a lighter note,the clubhouse sandwich left a little to be desired. Soggy and over fried fries. Front end staff and cleaning was very good.overall I give 4 out of 5

Great property

The property is clean and the staff are friendly. It’s an older hotel but has been maintained. Doors and floors are a little creaky but nothing that made us want to leave. We did find the pillows too hard for our liking.

Was a one night stay. Definately an old type feel as was as if we were staying at Grandma's house. Was comfy but perhaps outdated in deco

Decor

Better than the more expensive chain hotels in the area! Nicely renovated with charming, quaint rooms.

AC was very noisy, street noises began early, early in the morning and continued throughout the day, not the cleanest hotel with built up grime visible in bathrooms and public areas. Beds were too soft and there were very limited electrical outlets for charging devices. No refund given when we checked out a day early despite checking out early in the day.

Bed was a bit stiff. TV options limited.

I really like their Stay and Play golf promotion

We booked the double standard room. Upon entering the hotel, we smelled smoke from cigarettes. Fortunately, our room was smoke free. It was clean and functional. There was no closet but rather hooks on the wall in two locations. The air conditioning worked. There was a constant low level noise from the outside. It came from the hotel’s ventilation system. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly.

Staff is not friendly at all, just a strange bunch to say the least. Tougher part of town so maybe tough days but they all seem just done with it all. Rooms are clean and decent for the price but would suggest just stay in your room then leave. Too bad, could be a nice place

We have stayed here numerous times....when I called to book a room...there was no answer so I went onto expedia to book it....when we arrived, we had to pay full price for room. Normally we get a huge discounted rate because of our encore cards....but going through Expedia they dont recognize the encore card. Will never use Expedia again.

Is clean quite and comfortable. Having entertainment restaurant and accommodations all in one place.

what a wonderful hotel. greatt value, charming and clean

Stayed for 12 hours, staff were friendly and felt safe

It gave the full Quesnel town experience, especially to be in the heart of downtown.

No frills. Acceptable place for overnight stay in transit.

Only issue was very noisy aircon

The hotel portion was excellent - the room was spacious, clean, quiet, and had beautful fixtures and decor. There was something wrong with the water though, i suspect the boiler, as my shower water smelled like sulphur. Very unplesent. The lobby shares an entance wirh the casino and smelled overwhelminly like stake cigerettes. The location was central, within walking distance of downtown shops and had ample parking.

Perfect

We have stayed here twice now and will keep coming back. Very friendly staff and lovely little casino.

Small room but very cute, quaint, characterful. Very comfortable.

The hotel is located very conveniently to walk around downtown and trails. The staff were excellent, and the room was spacious and clean. The restaurant was really good and we felt totally safe.

No closet, no microwave, no place for things except the floor, no bedside table or plug in for the second person in the bed. Very crowded, more than expected with the 2 beds. Limited TV channels. Only 1 chair. Shower, no tub. Very clean and comfortable considering the small space.

The hotel was clean and well appointed. The front desk staff were all friendly and professional. The restaurant was charming and the staff there were very good, we throughly enjoyed Brenda, a waitress in the restaurant. She made our dinner more enjoyable

Clean

I recently did a nine day road trip with my senior parents, along the Gold Rush Trail. Our 2 day stop in Quesnel, at Billy Barker hotel, was definitely a highlight. The hotel was quaint, accessible for my dad and in a walkable location to restaurants, shops, etc. We enjoyed trying our luck at the casino. Every employee we came across was very pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel and will absolutely stay there again.

This is a great place and staff are so friendly. Love the casino attached to the building ,

Everything was great

Unique place. Very clean.

Very unique and historical…comfy bed…extremely clean…take a walk up the stairs and enjoy the antique furnishings. One of the quieter properties we stayed at. Would definitely stay here again!

Travelled with two small children and a dog. Staff was very friendly and checkin was quick.

This was 3rd stay in this hotel. It is clean, quiet and well located for walk-ability to shops and restaurants. Very good value for money. It will be the first consideration for accommodation for future overnight in Quesnel.

Nice and convenient

Quiet neighborhood

Service was great. Room was great. Clean and quiet. Good restaurant.

Clean, quaint rooms. Much more pleasant than the usual modern hotels. Though updated with modern amenities.

Very please with our 2 night stay.Ontario Canada

Quaint and clean. And good internet. Very disappointed on the very limited tv channels though and not one thing to watch at night so just went to bed early. Already lost 50 easy at the tight slots. Overall I liked though and quiet enough! About 4.25 stars of 5. (4 1/4).

Amazing staff and hotel rooms. Relaxed and slept well.

Lounge was a great place to sip wine and play games on a rainy day. Just wish they were open later in the evening. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I liked the price, it was clean with comfy beds and quiet.

The room

I think their housekeeping staff was stretched very thin. An odour was in the room, maybe off of the air conditioning unit. A ozone machine helped some, but otherwise no housekeeping. Coffee machine stocked and nice refrigerator with a couple water bottles. Beds were comfortable. Our room was quite small. There were some very interesting antiques around.
