What guests think

At Gold Circle Inn, guests frequently highlight friendly, accommodating staff, clean rooms, and solid value for a quiet overnight, though several note the property feels dated and some rooms need maintenance such as plumbing fixes, TV issues, and worn furnishings.

Breakfast feedback is mixed, ranging from tasty with good variety to poor or inedible. Facilities feedback often cites the elevator being out of service and generally easy parking, while some policies like a sizable refundable damage deposit or pet-room limitations cause frustration. Cleanliness reports range from very clean to occasional pests, stained or tired linens, and smoke smells. Expect a basic, budget-friendly stay with friendly service and variable extras.

There were very few travellers staying there. Elevator was out of service, it appeared everyone was staying on main floor. We also didn’t have a tv with cable. It said, “weak or no signal.” Would have been nice with a six and three year old. Breakfast was very good!!

We needed a room to overnight for a wedding. It was what we needed. Clean, comfy, good breakfast. The elevator was out of order at the time of our visit. However, be prepared to pay a $300 damage deposit that you get back at checkout if your room isn't damaged. We are bookedchere again in September.

Entering the Gold Circle Inn in Lloydminster is like stepping back 30 years. The facility is clean, but is due for a renovation. The included breakfast is poor. The sausages were microwaved and the hash browns were cooked in an air fryer. Both could have used more heating before being served. The potatoes weren’t cooked through and the pre-cooked sausages were cool in the centre.

Let’s start with the positive - the bed was really comfy, the staff was friendly, and the room was clean. Now for the negative - the elevator was broken, the room was outdated/had an odd smell (a candle improved the odor), the shower curtain rod needed to be replaced/fixed (it was bent and the curtain kept sliding to the middle so the bathroom was flooded every time you used it.

We booked for family suite and when we came in, the elevator wasn't working, the washroom has a bad smell and there is black dirty water coming out from the bath tub, the sink was full of water. Then, they let us moved to a smaller room in the 3rd flr. The front desk were awesome, gave us free cot. They should check each and every room before letting the guess entered.

The room was clean and perfect. We were not expecting it to be as nice was it was. Unfortunately the elevator was out of commission. Something that should have been taken care of in less than 24 hours but wasn’t a priority clearly. Had to carry out bags to the 3rs floor. Otherwise I would stay here again.

At first sight looks decent but the had little bugs crawling around the sink area. Also in the bathtub. The kitchenette sink had what looked like dried food and juice suck to it. Yhe front desk person had to come and clean it. Completely disgusting. Went to wash up and shower. There's two of us and had only one wash cloth.

This hotel was very clean, the staff was lovely and the breakfast area was clean and well appointed, adequate supplies and seating. Minor inconvenience is that the elevator is currently down, but there are first floor rooms to accomodate anyone with mobility issues. The whole areas smells a bit like the oil refinery but that’s all across Lloyd and not unique to this property. Check in and out was a smooth, quick process.

Golden Circle Inn was kind of our last choice for our stay in Lloydminster because all the hotels were fully booked for the dates we were in town. The hotel itself is standard. The receptionist at the front desk was very kind and welcoming. The first room we were in, the sink had plumbing issues. It would not drain at all. Front desk sent someone up to try to fix the issue but to no luck. Maintenance would arrive around 10-10:30pm but because we had an early start the next day I said that would be too late for us. We were then moved to another room. This room was good at first. But in the morning when we took a shower, even with the shower curtain fully closed we came out of the shower with a puddle on the floor. Not sure where the water came from. Notified the front desk upon checkout. The staff were wonderful and nice.

According to your website if I choose to pay at the hotel, they will provide a receipt to me when I checkout. They refused to provide a receipt to me when I checked out because "I booked through a 3rd party". It was a business trip and I require my receipt so I can claim the travel expense.

Staff was extremely rude, trying to make up policies on the spot such as "no guest visitors before 9am" only to back track when i ask to see their hotel policies. Damage deposit seems to be $200. Unless you get the desk worker who may as well be Eva Braun reincarnated, she charges $300 if you check in between 10pm and 1030pm. I understand why they only had 3 vehicles in the parking lot the entire time. Absolutely terrible staff to have in the hospitality industry.

The place is starting to look run down. The bedding that is ruined should be replaced with new ones. The breakfast options were limited. Some varieties of muffins, bagels, yogurt would be nice. Also only syrup was available for waffles. Where is the topping selection??? Overall the place was okay but not sure if I will return there next time I’m in town.

The lady I spoke to on the phone the day of my booking was extremely rude and unreasonable. I think her name was Dilpreet or something like that. The rest of the staff was friendly and nice. Breakfast was gross, not even edible. Coffee is weak. The hotel is very dated and they should upgrade a little bit to charge those prices. The tub was all stained and looked gross.
