What guests think

At Best Western Pembroke Inn & Conference Centre, travellers frequently praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of an on-site restaurant, pool, and large gym, while noting dated areas, occasional maintenance issues, and some noise near the pool.

Breakfast cooked to order at the attached restaurant earns frequent compliments, though some guests report slow or inconsistent service. Several reviews mention musty or humid basement or poolside rooms, loud A/C, and the hot tub or pool being closed or needing repairs. Location just off Highway 17 is convenient for road trips, with easy parking and a generally quiet setting. Expect a comfortable, convenient stay with standout amenities, but check room placement and facility status if these details matter.

My stay at your hotel was nice. The gym attached to the facility is a great surprise since it has a lot of equipment versus what you find in other hotels. The restaurant also has very good food as well.

Nice pool, nice hot tub, right off the highway and next to a gas station. Very convenient. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. I probably wouldn't get a pool view room next time as the chlorine smell gets into the room, but it was a neat 'resort style' experience. The restaurant was understandably a bit understaffed during our visit, which led to a longer wait, but the staff was doing their best under the circumstances. The food was still decent, and the pricing was good.

Service was excellent at restaurant and the staff of the hotel were amazing. The pool area looks like it could use some repairs and updating as well as the room had some issues with the phone, outlet and thermostat. Also could have been more attention to detail in the cleanliness of the bathroom. Was disappointed to walk in and see men’s beard hairs stuck to the top of the tissue paper box and tissue on sink. Overall for the price of 230 for a night I found it not worth the value.

Overall, very disappointed. On arrival, the receptionis amazing despite having a bad day (personal issues, computer issues, no AC in lobby). Room had mold in shower, water settings are “off”, “scolding hot” or “freezing cold”, AC is loud (AUTO FAN helped with noise), room was very humid (clothes and beddings stayed damp). Restaurant service is low-par in quality. Food is below average, but not bad. Wait time at dinner was 1h20min. Not many vegan option (not expected, though, my choice). Breakfast opens at 7am. Staff came at 7:15am, to deliver a catering, had to wait till 7:25am for them to come back. As they walked out, I heard them through the doors saying “OMG there’s people, seriously?” (Yes, at 7:15am there are people waiting when you’re supposed to open at 7am). You get a manually scissors-cut coupon from a regular printer, to get free breakfast. Only vegan option was a bagel with cream cheese (coming on side), and a bowl of fruits. Fruits were litterally 4 pieces of cantaloupe, quarter of orange cut in 3. Bagel came lathered in butter. Coffee taste is far below average. No orange juice suggested. Staff was rude and not friendly. Catering was late and came missing 2 items, so some people had to watch others eat, and have their meals during the presentation. Food was okay, but subpar compared to other hotels. Gratuity was added automatically to bill, but yet asked again at check-out.

Breakfast was good, you can order off an express menu or get $8 off whatever you want. Ample parking including spots for motorcycles. I'd stay here again.

The room had a very damp smell with a tiny dehumidifier that did not appear to be working. We were given a room on the first floor which requires you to go down two flights of stairs from the ground floor as there is no elevator in that section of the hotel. That part was not a big deal as we are able bodied, if the room had been worth the trip down. We should have requested a different room but it was late and we were very tired and just wanted a quick night of rest before continuing on the road the next day. My husband woke up very stuffed up from the dampness which then lasted several days. Besides that the hotel is dated but well kept and had a very good hot breakfast at the restaurant on site. Very quiet location as well

It was very quiet hotel we never heard any banging doors or kids running around. Would stay here again that’s for sure

Its a little older BW, our only issue is the poolside rooms we thought would be nice, but pool opens at 7am, and we were woken up both mornings by 7. So if u want to sleep in best be in a different area of the hotel for sure.

twice I have visited this hotel in the last year and both times received rude and dismissive service at the front desk from the same individual.

Obviously they are short of staff . Duuring the checkin, we've been waiting for 15 minutes as there was only one lady at the counter, dealing with check in clients, and at the same time to take care of other customers who come out from pool and returning towels and with other questions. Not blaming the counter staff, but problem of shortage of it.

The girl working front desk when we checked in was incredibly nice and welcoming. She was able to get us into the pool early and recommended places to go while our room got ready. The next morning, since I was alone with my 3 kids, she went and packed us up breakfast to eat in our room. I missed getting her name but just wanted to say the service was great! And we loved the whole hotel, will definitely be back!
