Canadian Inn, Brandon

Room was clean, spacious, smelled fine. TV was small, but okay. To describe hotel in one phrase: faded elegance. It is in a slightly run-down part of town (there were street people sitting on front step smoking, for example). There were only 3 cars in the large parking lot on a Friday night, so made me wonder if ours would be safe (night passed without incident). Wifi didn't work in our room (outside of range) but did work just down the hallway. There were piles of construction materials at the top of the grand spiral staircase. Hopefully being used for renovations, but the overall impression was a hotel past its prime. The East Indian restaurant on the ground floor was closed. Hmm ... wonder why ... would have liked to try it out.

Seemed to have no problems at all. Rooms were very clean. Friendly staff...not too sure what the other 2 reviewers are talking about, the staff was not racist or anything close to that. I needed extra towels and I got them very quickly along wtih extra coffee ... Enjoyed having some beer and playing the VLT slots, even won some money!! Would def. go back considering the cleanliness and service for an affordable price. Recommended.

THE STAFF AND MANAGEMENT (OWNERS) ARE ALL EAST INDIAN AND ARE VERY RACIST TO ANYONE FROM CANADA. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO STAY HERE BASED ON THE FACT THAT I MYSELF WORK IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY AND KNOW WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT. THEY HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THE FACT.
