Hotel berhampiran The Lido, Fort St. John

Stayed during our 9 day drive from home to Alaska - this was the 7th hotel we stayed in this week so I have LOT to compare this hotel to. If you stay here you won't get bugs, the bed is comfortable, you can walk to restaurants. It's not a horrible place, but if you can book elsewhere that has better ratings in Tripadvisor, do it. I did cancel my reservation on my return trip to home and booked with the Number 1 rated hotel on trip advisor. Pros: Bed was comfortable. Place is clean. The two staff we dealt with were friendly. We were there on a hot day and the air conditioner worked well. There is a refrigerator which worked well. It was not a mini fridge, it was a small fridge with a freezer. Cons: ROOM: There was a strong unpleasant chemical smell that some hotels have when you walk in the room. The smoke detector was sitting on the freshly dusted shelf with the battery sitting next to it, so it obviously was not working and the cleaning staff MUST have been aware it was there. The bathroom door would not stay closed, the latch on the handle did not line up with the hole for it. It was not pleasant to hear my husband in there using the toilet. (I placed a washcloth in the door to keep it closed.) The tub drained so slowly I was standing in 3 inchies of water during my shower. I just felt ”grimey” staying in this room, did not feel confident in this room. HALLWAY: Ice machine on my floor was broken. It did have an out of order sign on it which appeared like the paper had been there a while. You know, the paper gets kind of wrinkly and old looking after a while. There were many dents and scratches in the walls. BREAKFAST : I have had 6 other hotel breakfasts this week and they are never ”5 star” food, but usually tastes good and are edible (you know what I am talking about - are the scrambled eggs real eggs? But they taste good.) This was VERY cheap. Offered round, flat, cooked eggs - bad texture and did not taste good at all. The seemed like they were pre-cooked, frozen and heated up type eggs of poor quality. The hash brown potatoes were frozen, cheap, but did taste OK. There was cereal, pancakes and bread for toast. No fruit offered. Unfortunately, the owner does NOT put any money or effort into maintain the building and rooms. This owner has a great building with a little but of fixing, could be a very comfortable place to stay.

The hotel had plenty of parking, although accessing the hotel is confusing your first time as you cannot turn into the lot from both directions. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Blackout shades were great for sleeping in. Food at the restaurant was good but a bit over priced. And the free breakfast was very good.

Great place clean and recently renovated. Walking distance to everything. Enjoy your time in fort st john British Columbia canada. Great place clean and recently renovated. Walking distance to everything. Enjoy your time in fort st john British Columbia canada.

Hidup senang, baik

Overall good experience. Our family rented 6 rooms with 15 people all together and we all come and go at different times and it was kind of a struggle to get more than one key per room, we did get them eventually. One of the rooms air conditioners didn't work and someone came to fix it but it still didn't work. My only real complaint is the floor around the pool and the slide stairs are not very well cleaned. Also I'm not sure if they don't have towels at the pool because of covid or what, the reason was unclear when I asked and they didn't want to give us any initially, they ended up giving us 7 hand towels for the 9 people swimming so bring your own towels to the pool for sure. We've stayed here many times before and never had the towel problems or the key problems before so maybe it was just a one time thing. The rooms were clean and quiet

During a recent evacuation due to the Fort Nelson Wildfires, we stayed at The Best Western in Fort St John. I cannot say enough good things about the compassion and care shown by the staff! They made me, during a very stressful time, feel welcome and at home! I will never forgot their kindness!

The manager is very helpful and outgoing. I stay here everytime I am in town. They offer a bag breakfast. Rooms are clean and quiet. It is close to hospital and airport. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is travelling there.
