Travellers describe Tamarack Inn as an older, budget-friendly property with very friendly staff but significant ongoing renovations and wear, resulting in mixed experiences that range from clean, comfortable stays to complaints about dated rooms, maintenance issues, and noise.
Many reviews note the on-site restaurant was closed during their stay and breakfast was not provided. Cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent, with reports of smoke or musty odors, mould in bathrooms, and occasional missed housekeeping alongside clean, quiet rooms. Expect a basic stay with limited on-site dining and variable upkeep.

👎They didnt read the notes/requests. We didnt get a room we booked with a hide a bed and they seemingly didnt know we had a dog (all was in notes). 👍It was nice they didnt charge us extra for the dog. 👎Also, the restaurant was under renovations/closed which wasnt in the hotel info & the rug in our room was old & gathering, 👍 but the bathroom was huge. 👎Their luggage trollies had flat tires which made it difficult to use. 👍The staff was very polite 👎h/e didnt seem to be current with issues & notifications. 👍 Our stay was pleasant enough, 👎just needed better communication & knowledge.

Check in was easy. Dropped stuff off in room and left. Came back that night to main doors locked and we couldn’t get in the hotel without calling a number and waiting for someone to come and open the door (it was cold and raining boooo). They were nice and friendly - it just sucked we had no idea the front doors would be locked after such a long day. Got up to our room and opened the hide a bed to find broken chips on the blanket … no big deal it happens … opened the bed to put child to sleep - huge yellow stain as if someone had peed on top of the blanket because the bed hadn’t been slept in. There is no phone in the room and no one at the front desk so we had to google the number and call to ask for diff sheets. We got some diff sheets and did not want to switch rooms (that was offered to us but it was late and we were so tired) and the man who brought the diff bedding was very nice. I am just suggesting that staff check/change the beds even tho they don’t look like they have been slept in. The bathroom needs serious updates. However I think these are new owners so those will happen in time - bathroom was clean. Hotel room was clean. Bed was extremely comfortable and I can’t remember much about the tv other than past guests stayed logged in on streaming accounts so we watched some things on that for a few minutes before we went to bed.

The hotel roof was under construction while I was there. There was work being done at 7am on the roof. It was noisy as I was on the 3rd floor. 3 ceiling panels had come down outside my door. There was a ladder and debris from that just laying around. The restaurant was closed. No breakfast included. No where in the write up for the property did it say either of those things. The write up for the property stated there was no free wifi, but there was.

We stayed there as we were passing through town, and the hotel was reasonably priced. Other hotels in the area were over 200. The room was clean. It is an older hotel which needs a lot of upkeep but can see the potential. Staff were really efficient with check in and check out.

Sadly, in the morning we woke up and discovered bed bugs of some sort on our pillows and under the blankets, at that point we gathered and flushed eight of them down the toilet. We had to check further and found food bits under the couch cushions, shaking the cushions, we were treated with a couple more bugs, there was not even blankets on the hide a bed matress. Animal and human hair on the queen bed top blanket. Very poor experience!

This property is very old and unkept, resulting in an unpleasant overnight stay: - room smelled musty and smoky upon entry; - window was dirty and had build-up of condensation between window pains, so unable to see clearly out the window; - window did not have option to open so unable to get fresh air into the room during our stay; - old, worn, dirty rugs; - burn holes on chair; - dark discolouration/appearance of mold growth along grout of tub tiles, as well as bacterial growth on ceiling.

The hotel itself is 1 star (or less), but the staff was super friendly and worked hard to make the rooms clean, at least as much as could be expected considering the condition of the hotel. Restaurant was closed for "renovations", which probably helped extend our life expectancy as we dodged that bullet. The building is well past it's prime, everything is falling apart, leaking, or coming apart at the seams. The AC didn't work properly, it just made a noise like a metal chair thrown into a jet engine and leaked water all over the carpet. It's pretty much just another dive hotel only suitable for rig workers. Shame, it used to be kinda nice when I was a kid.

The staff were very kind and the best part of staying here. Building is dated but does the job! Near a 7-11 and a Sobeys. I would stay again if in a pinch.

No place to eat in the hotel. They did have a good truck outside wasn’t interested in the food truck. The first day no room service we asked but it was too late. The second day we got room service but they did not replenish our coffee and supplies.

The hotel itself is 1 star (or less), but the staff was super friendly and worked hard to make the rooms clean, at least as much as could be expected considering the condition of the hotel. Restaurant was closed for "renovations", which probably helped extend our life expectancy as we dodged that bullet. The building is well past it's prime, everything is falling apart, leaking, or coming apart at the seams. The AC didn't work properly, it just made a noise like a metal chair thrown into a jet engine and leaked water all over the carpet. It's pretty much just another dive hotel only suitable for rig workers. Shame, it used to be kinda nice when I was a kid.

The restaurant was closed, after it advertised a dining room/restaurant attached, the outside was unkept, tall grass all over. Room was kept clean, but the rooms were small. Couldnt watch TV for it had ROKU, they should keep cable.

Amazing staff, very accommodating with late reservations .disappointed that restaurant is not open as it advertises breakfast as included on website, but in fact that is not provided. Otherwise a good place to stay.

The hotel roof was under construction while I was there. There was work being done at 7am on the roof. It was noisy as I was on the 3rd floor. 3 ceiling panels had come down outside my door. There was a ladder and debris from that just laying around. The restaurant was closed. No breakfast included. No where in the write up for the property did it say either of those things. The write up for the property stated there was no free wifi, but there was.

There was a hair on the sink when we went in the room and the carpet was dirty. The receptionist was not there when checking out, no one was to be found.

It's under new management, so nothing was open but the hotel. The rooms need updating. Pleasant staff and easy check in.
