Hillcrest Motel

doors did not shut properly. snow piled in front of access

tiny room, linens and towels old and worn. Not worth the price.

Oh dear....The motel is on its last legs... Bed was comfortable enough but there was a sound of dripping water all night which, combined with thin curtains and street lights made sleep almost impossible. Tried to get a shower in the morning, hot tap fine, but the cold tap was immovable so I was unable to shower.

I booked the room 8 days in advance. 12hrs before check-in, the Manager messaged via ******* and told me that the room I paid for (queen with 1 double) was no longer available. They said only room available was now 2 double with kitchenette and it was going to cost me extra. They then said "if you do not want, you can cancel". No other rooms were available in Manning, so I was forced to accept the changes. Why, if I booked the room so far in advance was it suddenly given away and I was upcharged?! I didnt need a kitchenette, i needed a queen and a double for our family. Unacceptable. Inside the room smelled horribly of cigarettes, the carpet was square "tile" carpet chunks placed together and loose to move around. The mattresses had literal springs sticking out. The beige bedsheets were stained and honestly im not sure if they had once been white and were not aged to the point of being beige in color. The bathroom door had been replaced at some point, as the replacement door was now 3 inches too short for the doorframe. The kitchenette i was upcharged for did not work! No toiletries, soaps, shampoos or lotion provided. There was no drain cover in the shower and you could look inside to see all of the collected goopy hair clumps. The toilet slow drained when flushed, which made you paranoid to put toilet paper inside. There was a long coiled sticky bug tape dangly from the ceiling at head height that had over 100 flies stuck to it and there were still flies buzzing around!

Not the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed in but better than sleeping in my truck.

When I got the the property I was told they did not have my reservation and no rooms available, in fact there were no rooms anywhere in town. I had to drive an hour to Peace River to find a room for the night. Thankfully I chose pay at the motel, so there better not be a charge to my Visa!

It was a convenient and inexpensive stop in a long journey.

Property is old, probably average value for the price.

There was no toilet paper in my room, and couldn’t find staff to get any. Walking distance to downtown but everything closes by 10, so eat before you get there.
