Room and hotel was quite good, but we did have a complaint. It had snowed both nights we stayed, however the 6.00 am /7.00 am wake ups by the snow removal equipment was aweful. We felt he could have plowed the mall parking lot across the street first...lol

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

BEWARE! The pictures on the website do NOT look anything like the rooms. I was visiting Castlegar for work this week, and made the mistake of staying at this Sandman location. The hotel is run down to the ground, my room was a "queen suite", but I found bed bugs on the bed and the sofa/couch had bodily stains all over it. Overall the room was in horendous shape - kind of felt like a motel if I'm being honest. The gym is hardly a gym, rather its a storage closet with dingy lighting and 3 pieces of cardio equiment jammed in there, and none of them worked properly. What a horrible experience. Front desk was rude/aburpt and unwilling to help. The GM was nice enough to move to me to another room, which was not all that better. I even tried to leave the hotel for another hotel down the street, but given the fact that I had already paid on Hotels.ca Sandman refused to refund me so I ended up staying. I will never stay at another Sandman again after this horrible experience. Dont let the pictures fool you.
