Ritz Cafe Motor Inn - Whitecourt

For about $80 this is a very decent motel. My room was clean and smelt of soap or cleaning supplies. The rooms are more then passable. Small washrooms. But everything works and is clean. This place is a win. Id stay here again if need be. Rooms: 5 Service: 4 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Great value

Place is a dump. The owners/staff obviously do not care. The exterior door to my room had a gap so large you could see light through it. Both the smoke detector and bathroom vent fan were each dangling 8” from the ceiling/wall by wires. The floor was dirty and had not been cleaned as I could feel the sand/gravel under my bare feet when preparing for bed. The shower curtain rod was broken and sagging so bad I didn’t shower for fear if I touched it that it would fall off the wall. The foam blanket on the bed was beginning to disintegrate. Upon checkout the next morning I told the desk clerk about the condition of the room and he just shrugged his shoulders and said “sorry”. I declined to eat breakfast fearing that if they cannot clean the sleeping rooms I have to assume the kitchen is filthy as well.

Safety: Some ice out front where we parked that should of been taken care of Service: 5 Location: 4

Didn't stay there. Went here for breakfast and it was great. I know it doesn't look like much but great breakfast restaurant

Room was not cleaned, and a little run down. Everything was functional though. The shower valve was a little tricky to get to a good temp. There was ice in front of my room door that was very slick. The staff gave me some ice melt to use, but I had to do it myself. All in all though the rooms were comfy and the price is very decent. If you are fussy about little things, you probably won't like this place. I you want functional and cheap, it's a great place. The free breakfast at the restaurant was fantastic to. The hash brown patties were phenomenal. Rooms: 4 Service: 4 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great value
