Beach Front Resort

What guests think

At Beach Front Resort, travelers often praise the beachfront location and friendly staff, while feedback on dated rooms and cleanliness varies widely, from very clean stays to serious problems that led some guests to check out early.

Multiple reviews also note occasional check-in confusion, delayed room readiness, and deposit disputes, as well as disturbances from other guests. Bathrooms can be very small and bed comfort varies; a few suites are spacious, and select units have been updated with air conditioning or kitchenettes. Overall, expect a simple, older beachside motel with an excellent location but uneven quality.

We had an enjoyable stay .owners are hard working at keep this place decent .its very clean and you have sylvan lake ,right across the street .There is also a good size lawn with a very large firepit .(owners were generous and offered us free wood).I have stayed at this motel several times over the years since the 80's.This is an older motel but well kept and the owners work hard at maintaining it.lovely stay as usual, enjoyed drinks around the firepit, views of the lake and very clean comfortable beds for under $150.

I liked that they had green space and a BBQ( I didn’t know it was for guest use till afterwards). There parking was suitable. Friendly welcoming staff. The check in process once I arrived was a bit confusing to learn they were going cancel my room and it was not even check in time. However it was figured out and the staff were great.

The room was so dirty. There was mold in the bathroom and the carpets were disgusting. It smelt like smoke and very musty. I complained and asked for a refund as it was nothing like the online pictures. It was denied but we opted to not stay regardless of not receiving a refund.

The room was old and dirty. Not like the picture we saw on website and they said renovated rooms. It smelled like old cigarette smoke and bathroom was so tiny barely 1 person fit, dark and dingy….. things falling apart…. Roaches in room We ended up not staying there….. and were unable to get out money back….

Started at check in. Communication was difficult to nearly impossible due to language barrier. Requested a second key and was refused. They stated not available. Room was terrible. On entry you could smell pot. Stains and cigarette burns on the bed sheets and mascara on the pillows. Kitchen items were tumble stacked and not clean. Mop and bucket in the middle of the floor in the bathroom floor. Smoke detector on the night table. We saw enough. Returned their precious key and went to a hotel in Red Deer. I didn’t even bother complaining to the front desk as they didn’t understand English anyway A disgusting motel. The good reviews for this hotel are clearly misleading.

This was the worst hotel/motel/resort I have ever stayed in. There was no room service, the rooms had no keys and did not lock, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, and I found a spider crawling in the bathroom. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

The owner was a wonderful lady, very kind and friendly. The building is old but is clean and I do believe they are slowly improving the property. The location is fantastic and you can literally walk across the street and walk into the lake. I’d come again because of the staff and location.

We left this property and did not stay due to unsanitary conditions. This place smelled so bad. My wife has allergies to mold, cats and pollens. As soon as we walked in she was gaging. We had to leave, asked for a refund and all we got back was $20. I can’t stress how disappointed we ate. We had to get another hotel in Red Deer ab. You need to do a health check on this place. We want our money back.

I checked into my room, there was blood on the bathroom wall. They moved my room 20 minutes after i checked in. My new room had no heat and no hot water. Do not stay here. This was the worst experiment i have ever had.

Manager and staff were very friendly. We stayed in the family suite. Our room had Air Conditioning brand new laminate flooring, everything was repainted. It was nice, clean. There were some outdated appliances, but no big deal. Slowly renovating, but takes time. Super convenient being right across from the lake, everything is in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again with my family. Thanks

Rooms are not as advertise... Didnt have our room ready on time. When we did get a room, it was extremly dated. The carpet was green, with and 80s style yellow couch taking up most of the space and it wasnt clean. I booked a room with 2 queen beds received a small room with 1 twin bed. Contacted Expedia when our room was not ready on time. Expedia was no help at all. Will not be booking with Expedia again. The hotel failed to meet their end of the agreement and Expedia refused to cancel the booking.
