We booked the last room available in town. Found unopened food container just under the bed which indicates not a thorough cleaning from former guests. The worst part was instead of a decent mattress, there was a 6 inch foam pad sitting on a box spring. The pad was very soft and sitting on it you sank in at least 4 inches. Laying down you received little to no back support and each time you moved it made a squeaky rubber sound that would wake you up. This mattress was worse than any RV Camper with cheap foam mattresses that you find on a makeshift bed. We only discovered this after 10 pm because on our later arrival we went out for dinner and some shopping and came back about 10 pm and the office was dark. The hotel was not expensive however. We had been on the road for 26 days at that point returning to Ontario from BC. I can accept a simple clean room with a comfortable sleep. This room failed to provide a tolerable bed. My wife and I felt embarrassed as we literally squeeked through the night with every toss and turn. Ultimately waking up with a sore back. Had there been any other hotels to move to in town I would have done it.
A comfortable sleep is the primary reason people stay at a hotel along the Trans Canada in the first place. This one was very disappointing.

The look of the place from the outside would suggest it has seen better days. Reception was ok at the front desk. When I entered the room is was pleasantly cool on a hot Smoky day - finding urine in the toilet bowl as if someone had forgot to flush left something to be desired. The TV worked well enough, and the wifi was excellent. The bed left a lot to be desired, I felt as though I was sleeping in a pea pod! The mattress needs to find a new home - like the dump!

NOT working - TV or clock radio.
Ice bucket but no place to get ice. No kleenex tissues. One overhead light was only lite for the entire
room - no bedside light. Both mattresses were very soft and lumpy. Air conditioner was very load. My spouse and I are in our 70's and the only access to our second floor room was via a metal \"fire escape\" type access to our outside only door access. We prayed that there would not be a FIRE. DO NOT spend your money at that place !!!

It’s my second time at this hotel in this overpriced town of Dryden, our first feeling is why am paying twice the rate that it should cost in any other town in Canada for this low budget hotel? This time our room look like someone or police busted the door, broken pieces of glass on the floor, broken toilet tank top, look like punching marks on the door, bathroom ceiling look like it was about to fall off. Looks like the hotel has long term clients as they were the same people smoking outside their room that we met 2 weeks earlier. The front desk person was welcoming. There is a big tv and fast internet on the good side. It’s better than sleeping in your car after a long day of driving.

I assume for what it is, it was ok. I did not stay as the room was right next to the train track. The window had a bug net, but it was broken and bugs came in. Very rustic. But for a short night stay I am sure it would be ok. Just not for me.

It was less than advertised. It was musty and old. The previous occupants garbage was still in the can. their coffee pouch was still in the machine and their dirty coffee cup was still on the counter. I makes you wonder what was actually cleaned in between stays. I was certainly less than impressed. Dryden (in general) is a VERY expensive place to stay with limited options. Needless to say I won't be back or staying in Dryden again (if I can avoid it). Not impressed or pleased.

The room was clean.
Check in went very smoothly as we had booked and paid the room a few days ahead. Very helpful and friendly service.
The price was very reasonble and you get what you pay for but just traveling through and wanting a clean room and a good night sleep this was the place to go to.

Dated
Taps in bathroom worked not very well.
The safety chain was broken.
There was a fridge and microwave but no utensils at all. when I went to the office the lady (another one then when we checked in) was upset with another custumer and not a single spoon was availabe. Would have been nice to have even a few plastic utensils.

We would mostlikely stay there again as it looked they were updating the rooms.

Tremendously bad. Only stayed there because it was the only place not booked in town. If we weren't exhausted after the drive we would have kept going after seeing the room. At check in they said they didn't have a room for me until I told them to try my first name. I found bugs on the ceiling, the paint is peeling in the bathroom, there is no deadbolt on the door, the security lock chain is missing the eyelet so it doesn't work. The train comes through and you feel it the whole night even the the walls are cinder block. There is no sound proofing so we heard the people above us banging around all night. 1 extra star for eco factor because we saved water because we were afraid to use the shower! The mattress felt like it had been stored folded in half so there was a canyon down the middle with lumpy springs on both sides.
