Not worth the price
When I read hotel reviews, I usually focus on the bad ones to see how “bad” it really is—most of the time, it’s just someone nitpicking about weak Wi-Fi or lukewarm coffee. But in this case, every negative review is spot on.
We stayed here in April because the Canalta was fully booked, and even at $125/night, this place wasn’t worth it. When we arrived at 2 PM, the breakfast room still had a jug of milk and hard-boiled eggs sitting out—breakfast supposedly ends at 9 AM. The lobby looked like it hadn't seen a vacuum in years, with stained carpet and a ceiling literally falling apart.
The pool was chained off for “maintenance,” and the parking lot was a complete mess—no sign of snow removal. We tried using the side entrance once, but it was so icy and dangerous it felt like I was trying to sneak into Kevin McCallister’s booby-trapped basement in Home Alone.
The rooms were tiny and walls were paper thin, as expected for an older hotel, but a fresh coat of paint and a deep clean would go a long way. There were cobwebs on the wall when we checked in, and they were still there after housekeeping “cleaned” the room. The beds were rock hard (some may not mind), pillows were flat, and the bedding was clearly old—but at least warm.
On the bright side, the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, that’s the only positive I can give.
Next time, I’d rather make the drive to Tisdale, Humboldt, or even Saskatoon than stay here again.
