What guests think

At Sandman Hotel Red Deer, guests often highlight welcoming front desk staff and a handy location, while extensive renovations across parts of the property create a stay that varies notably depending on room assignment and timing.

Some rooms and suites are appreciated for comfort, while others feel dated or show issues like flickering lights, temperamental A/C or heating, and minor plumbing or TV problems. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless spaces to reports of dirty bathrooms, lingering odors, or rooms not properly prepared. Facilities draw mixed reviews too, with an on-site Moxies and nearby Denny’s praised, but several complaints about the pool or hot tub being small, lukewarm, or occasionally unavailable. Overall, it suits value-focused travellers who can accept occasional trade-offs.

Pool and hot tub not functioning. Paid for it but didn\'t get to use it. "Broken" Hotel undergoing "renovation" but saw no obvious signs of such. Heater in the room was either always in or off. Room like a sauna or ice box... Sorry to say...not a comfortable stay.

Choose this hotel for location and the confirmed fact that they had a working hot tub. It was a like warm bath temp and we were then told due to renovations, that's as hot as it could go.

We were on the second floor which has newly renovated rooms. So that was the a plus! The pool is dingy and dated and looks like it could use a good cleaning. The tiles in the pool were grimy and you could see build up. The staff was friendly enough but slow and not overly knowledgeable.

I recently stayed at the Sandman Hotel in Red Deer and was not fully satisfied with my experience. The overall stay felt very average. Cleanliness was an issue—several areas were not as clean as expected, and the toilets were noticeably dirty. It seemed like only some parts of the hotel had been renovated, while others were outdated or poorly maintained.

The room was clean enough where it had to be, but overall not very clean.. the toilet had a ring in it and the shower had mold in it. Fingerprints all over one of the cabinets. That kinda thing. The bed was hard and pillows not super comfy to me. Ok place to stay with pets but overall it’s not great.

Hotel was under renovation and this wasn't communicated to us in advance - the picture of the room on the listing was nice and they rest were poor and in disrepair. The tub in our room had brown dirt on it, there was no working microwave or fridge. The room overall wasn't the cleanest. We notified the hotel of this, they said someone would come up to the room to clear the tub (no one did).

Disappointed with Our Stay Unfortunately, we booked this hotel for one night, and our experience was very disappointing. Upon arrival, the lobby appeared run-down and outdated. We were informed that the hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and while our room had been recently renovated, the quality of the work was poor. The room was not clean—counters hadn't been wiped down, there was hair throughout the space, and we found mold and bugs inside the window frame. These issues made our stay very uncomfortable. Due to the condition of the room, we opted not to stay and instead traveled to a different hotel, which was very clean, modern, and innovative by comparison. I do not recommend this hotel and hope they improve their standards

My room was way too hot, had to try sleep with the noisy AC unit running and I had to open the window eventually too to try cool it off. So then I got the parking lot noise all night. There was a TV but every channel was grey static, couldn’t watch anything at all. Was only there the one night so didn’t bother complaining. Staff was friendly, check in and check out were good.

Sandman is always a safe bet. Good properties. The only thing that was less than ideal was the fan noise: there are no vents in the room for air circulation, and instead the temperature is controlled by an older unit installed in the wall. I found it to be incredibly noisy, especially when trying to sleep at night.

For the price it was alright although, my wife and I would not stay there again. The poor guy, when we checked in, was all by himself trying to do his best to book people in. There was a long lineup and it took us 30min to check in. No support staff to help him. Finally got settled in the room and the TV didn’t work and we had to move everything to the other room, which the man at the desk not only was checking in, had to come up to the room to help us with the TV. Good on him, they should give him a raise. The upgraded hotel…. Is not very good from my prospective.

But the ladies were very accommodating and made sure we were able to get to our rooms quickly after a tiring day. The beds were comfortable and the entire place was well maintained and clean. I would stay here again and recommend it.

Worst night that I’ve ever experienced at a hotel! There was a drunk domestic dispute in the hallway by my room where I was literally listening to a man beating a crying woman. I called the front desk for help, but was dismissed. The police were finally called, but not until I went to yell at the people to stop and go to the front desk myself to ask for help. The couple wasn't removed the first time, and continued to fight afterwards until 4am, at which point they were finally removed. I was only given $50 off of my stay for compensation, which in my opinion was unacceptable! As I didn’t sleep, nor did I feel safe while this was all taking place. Don’t stay here!

It was very nice. Wish we could have stayed longer as it was just literally an overnight stay before we head home.
