Thriftlodge Saskatoon

I got to Saskatoon a few days early with a few to staying longer at the Thriftlo

Although the staff were pleasant and helpfull, the room and location was not. Door wouldn't open. No where to hang clothes. Very confined space. Floors were FILTHY. Drug deals in parking lot. Lots of people drunk and partying, homeless hanging around drinking.

Upon arrival at the motel on July 31st at 4pm, my husband and i were told that our room wasnt' ready and that it likely would not be ready until about 6pm that the chambermaids hadn't even begun to start cleaning the rooms because the prior clientele had not left yet and then the front desk lady explained that the government sent the undesirables to their motel as well as four others because their motel was condemned. We arrived back at 6:20pm and the room was cleaned but our key card did not work, nor did it work for the next two days and we had to get the desk clerk to re-key it every day. How inconvenient. I asked to have new and clean bed sheets because I found numerous (15) or more black hairs on it. Apparently these were clean sheets??? They gave me a single fitted sheet (the bed was a double) and a double flat sheet which we used as a bottom sheet because I was not about to go back yet again to the front desk for more sheets. I killed two cockroaches, the walls had coffee spills and dirt on them and they needed to be washed desperately. The bathroom had not been swept and I wasn't about to do it. Also there were two police cruisers when we returned at 6pm because of a disturbance above us. A drug deal had gone bad and there was a domestic dispute. We had gone out for supper and upon returning I was terrified when two meth heads/ladies of the night approached our vehicle and cased our car. They said it was a non smoking room ...however it reeked of smoke.. ETC

The place is ok but my room wreaked of cigarette smell.

Was sorely disappointed in our stay here. Can’t believe that Wyndham owns this motel. Definitely reflects badly on the brand. After travelling all day, we arrived to check in and the police were there about some complaint. Very concerning but because we were so tired we decided to stay despite it. Got in our TINY room to find the air conditioner didn’t work so we had a crappy sleep as it was extremely hot in there. The bed seemed reasonably clean but the carpet was disgusting. After a shower I walked across the carpet once and my feet were dirty!! Shower had mold all around it and part of the wall had a bulge in it. There are people that permanently live there and by that I mean shady. Things going on at all hours of the night. We worried about our vehicle getting damaged or broken in to. The outside of the motel looks old and in need of repairs. Like I said, if we hadn’t been so tired and in need of sleep, we would never had stayed there!!

Well I’m very disappointed, there was no keys have to get front desk to open door for me when I go out and there was no light bulbs only in bathroom a/c wasn’t working ,won’t stay there again

This was the worst experience of my travelling career. There were so many sketcy drugged perains yelling and screaming and fighting around this hotel. We had numerous bangs on our floor from below our room. People theeatening each other with rcmp being called. Scariest experience of our lives. We ended up leaving this hotem and booking another hotel across town as we didnt knownif we would be shot or stabbed at this one. My kids were crying and too scared to sleep.

I felt uncomfortable in the room, when I looked around the room. The bed was clean, but everything else was dirty.

After o checked in went to my room were there is outside access .looks like gangs and wefare recipients hanging out all over the stairs .room next to us had at least 8 people hanging out front with their boombox blareing away ..ask to be moved 2 room worse passed a syringe laying on the ground by outrdoo

Property is old BUT Clean, Bedding ,towels Clean. Amenities same as considerably higher priced Hotels Staff very Pleasant & Helpful
