Good for Duck Hunters
Our hunting party just stayed at the Parkland Motel for five days and it was " livable ". No bedbugs and the owner / manager kept us supplied with clean (but old) towels. They also vacuumed the carpet a couple of times during our stay. However, I would not even consider staying there with my spouse. We were up and rather noisy at 5:00 a. m. each morning. The owner allowed us to clean our kill in the parking lot. Likewise, we stored some coolers and a portable duck blind on the walk in front of our rooms. Overall, it was rather shabby, just clean enough, but convenient. As a hunter, the Parkland Motel was better some hunting camps have stayed in…but not by much!
Do Not Stay at the Parkland Motel in Rosthern
I was not going to bother reviewing this motel since Rosthern is not a real tourist destination but if you are ever driving through late at night and need a place to stay, continue on to Prince Albert (or Saskatoon depending on which way you are going) ! We were in town for a family reunion and were planning on staying for two nights - Saturday and Sunday. After a look at the room, we should have ran but instead opted for one night, only because we didn't want to have to drive anywhere after the festivities Saturday evening. Our room was at the back of the motel and we were told by our cousins who occupied several other rooms, the rooms at the back were worse than those around the front. We were the last to check-in so had no choice. However, I don't think the rooms facing the highway were much better. Our room reeked of stale cigarettes and there were nicotine stains on the walls. There was a thick film of smoke on the window, spider webs in the corners, you name it. The bed itself seemed 'okay' (i. e. no bugs) and we did not bring home any undesirable creatures with us, so that is good. All the furnishings were old and run down. We did have a usable bar frigde in the room but it was dirty inside. No amenities in the bathroom - i. e. the bar of soap was not fresh, no hair dryer and we had to ask for more towels (all threadbare). All in all, probably the worst room either my husband or I have stayed in, at least as far as we can remember. I honestly don't know how anyone with any pride at all could rent out rooms like that.
So bad, it's legendary
I made the dubious choice of checking into this motel, with the jaw-droppingly bad room I was given: Among the many faults were: Sausage and evaporated milk left in fridge by a previous guest; mysterious pink stains on bedsheets (wondering if the sheets were actually washed, period?) ; a bent broken lamp, an old dirty stove having bare 2x4s as a base; grimy bathroom, and am wondering what else hasn't been cleaned lately; e. g. The carpet? The quilt? Although Parkland Motel does provide full cable and wireless Internet, the room was so disgusting that it drowns out those perks. Just makes this a one-star motel instead of a _zero_ star motel. (P. S. The 5-star ratings look rather suspicious -- you decide...) Upon checkout time I was hoping to give the managers constructive criticism, but the lobby door was locked with just a note to leave the key in the motel room. Overall, that Parkland Motel is literally _the_ worst motel I've ever stayed at -- and I mean it literally. I don't have faith in the owners / managers improving the motel anyway -- because the condition of the room was evidence enough that they hate their customers anyway.
They're correct, not like the pictures
I agree with everything the previous reviewer said. Plus the smell of curry will knock you down when you enter the office, and permeates the rooms too. No cleaning of rooms the second day. I did get fresh towels fromt he office the second day. Must be your absolute last resort to stay here... otherwise go to Prince Albert or Saskatoon.
Under New Management Don't Stay There
One of the worst motel experiences my wife and I have ever had. There are only two motels in Rosthern. We read the 2008 review and thought we would get a pleasant room. We had a family reunion close by, and we needed a room for two nights. To begin with the chambermaid is the new owners 13 year old daughter. We did not find out until bed time, the first night, that she did not change the sheets from the previous guests. So if you don't mind dirty sheets with public hair, you will love it. Next, the room air freshner is moth balls. If you love a strong moth ball scent in your room, you will really enjoy it. Next it is clear the new owner does not want to provide anything extra. So if you want toilet paper, glasses or shampoo forget it. Actually there were glasses, 3oz dixie cups, and we did have an eight of a roll of toilet paper for two nights. For $75.00 a night you might expect the room to be cleaned the next day. Don't get your hopes up. We made our own bed, but we did get one clean towel because she couldn't find the old one hanging up behind the bathroom door. The room was not vaccumed, nor was the garbage removed. We would have had a better experience sleeping in our car than staying there. The newwowner only wants your money, with out doing anything to make this a comfortable stay. We paid $151.00 for the worst two nights in our life. Do your self a favour, stay in Saskatoon.
