What guests think

At Big Lake Inn, travellers frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and solid value, while feedback on the rooms and facilities is mixed, noting some renovated touches alongside dated decor, maintenance issues, and occasional noise from HVAC or neighbouring rooms.

Cleanliness reports vary, with many clean stays but recurring remarks about stained furnishings, worn bathroom fixtures, and missed details. Breakfast is commonly described as generous with hot items, though several guests found it repetitive or poorly replenished near closing, and coffee or basics occasionally missing. The location is convenient for shops and places to eat, with plentiful parking that suits larger vehicles. Best for budget-minded travellers comfortable with an older property.

The check in was excellent, The Room was so so, First thing i noticed was the sofa had old stains all over it which made me feel not comfortable on its cleanliness to sit on. Recommendation would to add covers or sofa sheets to hide this. The bathroom was clean but when looking at the towel rack above the toilet it was very rusty and having your towels sit on that rust makes you feel as if your towels to be used are semi dirty. The small kitchenette sink had really bad residue in the seems, Recommendation the sink could use an updated seal as it looks like black mold lives in that seal. Recommendation to change out the rusty towel rack. The bedroom was clean and bed was comfortable to sleep on. Last thing i forgot to mention that on the wall next to the sofa there was a big booger smear on the wall. Unfortunatley that was missed by cleaning staff. Continental breakfast was good and coffee & juice was available. The breakfast area was clean.

The condition of our room requires attention. The sink is scratched and not hygienic, and there is no plug for shaving. An upgrade to the sink is necessary. The curtains are sunbaked and need replacing, as evidenced by the sun streaming through them in the morning. I appreciate Joy, the night clerk, for calling a guest about a noisy company truck running outside our window for several hours. She was very professional in dealing with the guest with a courtesy call, which resolved the issue immediately. Rachel handled our check-out quickly and promptly. The cleaning staff was very friendly and accommodating if we needed anything.

The room is neglected and old. The heating system doesn’t allow setting a temperature or using a thermostat and is very noisy. The showerhead is fixed to the wall and sprays in all directions. The sound insulation is poor, and noise from neighboring rooms makes it hard to sleep. The staff is Friendly and welcoming.

I was able to stay here for 10 days in a row due to working in the area. Hotels are expensive in Slave Lake but I was able to stay here for an average cost. The room service was incredible. The front desk staff were quiet and polite. The breakfast was like a 7/10. They had 3 different kinds of cereal, French toast in the fridge you could toast up, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage and sliced ham, yogurt, instant oatmeal, fruits, muffins, bagels, bread, fresh coffee and juice.
