Motel 6 Swift Current, SK

Had no great expectations for our visit to this budget motel on the outskirts of Swift Current, a matter of a few hundred yards from Trans Canada highway. Our room was clean, well equipped and large. Breakfast was included and was self serve. Not too bad a choice of bagels, cereal, coffees etc. The staff were very friendly, including the owner, who made us feel very welcome. Overall I found this motel to be much better than expected and would recommend it.

Don't stay here if you want to sleep in. I arrived on a Tuesday at about 2 pm. My room on the second floor was available. I entered the room and could hear the tv from the next room through the wall. The same wall where my room's tv was located. No big deal it was early in the day and I figured the guests would turn the tv off and we would all get a good night's rest. Wrong! I was awake at 5 am to the sound of the tv from next door. I called down to the front desk and requested that they call the room to have the sound turned down. I waited 20 minutes and didn't notice any difference. I got dressed and commented on the fact that I was on vacation and expected to sleep in to at least 7 or 8 am. The front desk staff said they couldn't do anything for me. I was not impressed and doubted that they had even tried to remedy the situation. A call to Sherry the manager only got me an offer for a discount for my next stay when I passed through there next time. She wanted to know if the staff member had followed up to my request which I honestly didn't know or at this point cared. An email to their cooperate services gave a standard reply with a general apology and that they would follow up. To date I have not heard anything back from their corporate services department.

Excellent service for a very reasonable price. Clean rooms, super friendly staff. We stayed for a week while attending an event and got good advice on area restaurants (Swift Current has surprisingly excellent restaurants for its size) and things to do in our spare time. The curry place next door is particularly good. And they now have breakfast! Muffins from the Tim's next door, plus yogurt in the fridge, fresh fruit, coffee and teas.
