The Medicine Hat Villa
Medicine Hat|0.36km dari Macleod Trail Hillside Park
This is an interesting older hotel. The clerk told me it is under renovation, and I could see it is a work in progress. Here's our observations: Pro: *Very inexpensive. *Our room was clean, the mattress was new, firm and comfortable. *The shower and surround was new, and there were disability bars - nice to have something to hold onto even if you're not disabled. There were lots of hooks to hang things on. *The mini-fridge included a small freezer suitable for ice-paks. *Beautiful chandelier in the lobby. *This will sound a little weird, but the fire alarm went off not too long after we checked in. Fire alarms aren't fun anywhere, but I was reassured because 1) the alarm system and lighting all worked properly and seemed modern, 2) the fire doors all closed automatically as they should, and 3) the desk clerk was able to target the problem and got the issue resolved quickly. I've stayed in some pricier hotels where I've seen fire doors propped open. *The staff was quite nice, and I was impressed with how calm the desk clerk was during the fire alarm episode. *Location was terrific. There are restaurants and interesting things to see within a short walking distance of the hotel. There's a lovely heritage church right beside the hotel - we weren't able to go in, but the stained glass looked stunning, even from the outside. *The window wasn't sealed so you could let fresh air in. *New TV which I was able to connect to my Netflix account without having to ask my husband to decipher the remote controls :-) *The price included a continental breakfast - pretty simple, but you could get coffee and make waffles, toast, cereal. Con: *What bothered me the most was the door to our room didn't have a bar lock or a deadbolt. I saw some rooms had card readers, so I hope the Villa is going in that direction. *Need a rubber mat for the bathtub. *The air conditioner kept the room at a nice temperature, but it was quite noisy especially after the cooling cycle turned off. *The breakfast room could use a radio or TV - it was very quiet. FYI: *It is a downtown hotel and there are unhoused people in the area. No one bothered us and there weren't any unhoused people on the hotel grounds. However, I know some people are upset by the presence of unhoused people. *Our room was plain - it had a very nice antique-style chair and lamp and painting, but the rest of the room was blank or standard hotel furniture. *No microwave, in-room coffee or hair dryer. *The car parking lot is locked at night. This hotel was good value and I suspect it will be fancier (and more expensive!) some day, but at this point in its development, go in with budget hotel expectations.
