The North hotel guide. Sandman Hotels hotel in The North, British Columbia

"It was centrally located ,newly renovated and reasonably priced. Only complaint was their continental breakfast really needs to be improved. Not many choices and prepackaged food."

"Good for the price"

"clean room, helpful and polite staff. Bathroom sink had no stopper. The tub stall was very slippery as may be due to the products in the dispenser"

"Easy parking felt safe and secure. Casino was bright and lively and friendly."

"Day was OK once I got in the room. Bed was comfortable and you know it was very clean. The problem my head was with the building itself. The carpets in the corridors were all wrinkly and needed re-stretching and made the hallways look terrible. Such a small expense to make everything look better. I was really disappointed that there was no restaurant confectionery or other amenities other than the Starbucks, which was great. Not sure I would stay there again."

"Bathroom door was badly designed and falling apart. There was a broken chair at the desk. The air conditioner made strange sounds. But the beds and pillows and linens were very good. And breakfast was pretty good."

"I stayed overnight in my way to Prince George. Quick check-in, great bedding and pillows and very quiet. They are doing renovations, but I wasn’t woken by them starting too early. As a solo female traveller, I would stay here again. "

"Before this hotel was the super 8 it was Esther’s. It has a flourishing and unique eco system within this building with healthy palm trees and other tropical plants, streams that flowed in and around them and throughout the hotel. It was warm and humid and felt like you’d stepped into a jungle. There were multiple pools, 2 hot tubs, a sauna and there were families with children running and laughing and playing everywhere. Now? The hot tubs are boarded up with plywood, the sauna says it’s in use but it’s beside the drained hot tub and surrounded by other closed off areas and there was no indication it was actually useable. The one pool that they’ve kept open was cold and dirty and our kids decided they werent chances going in there! With a large hotel with many rooms we were maybe one of six others in it. I’ve never been compelled to write a bad review like this but super 8 has failed miserably at keeping this hotel alive. The only improvement that’s come from it is the carpets in the rooms were removed. And the amazing buffet breakfast Esther’s used to have? Now it’s an Indian food restaurant for dinner, and “free continental breakfast” is a yogurt cup or fruit loops and bread you can toast. Not even a waffle maker. This was the most disappointment I’ve felt and I had heard it had went downhill and was preparing for it. But this was much worse. Two thumbs down to super 8 for running this unique hotel into the ground. "

"We stay here when in Prince George to take early morning flight. Clean rooms, friendly staff."
