Stayed here so many times in the past years but this time was the last. From horrible front desk staff that clearly hated their jobs to old and completely worn out furniture in the rooms. The room we had was in the newer South tower so would hate to see the rooms that haven't been renovated. Our bathroom door had previously been kicked in and the repair job was a 1 out of 10. On Friday night I went to the steak house in the hotel at 9:30 for a meal and I was told I needed to hurry cause they were closing. The food came and everything on my plate was cold including the so called hot butter that was for the seafood. The breakfast in the morning was average and be cautious on what you get as the hard boiled eggs were all brown with grey yolks so clearly they were really good and not fresh or was the chef boiling them so long that they were ruined. When the waitress saw the eggs on my plate, she told me that all the eggs were returned and the Head chef was completely fine with how they were. The overall experience has been deteriorating for a while now and has finally shown me that it's time to stay elsewhere after so many years. The pool and waterslides are a draw into this place but other places have pools that will be a whole lot...
Read moreI wish we could have food vendors with unique items come down from Calgary to Medicine Hat stampede. Food was sub par. Had sausage and pyrogies. The pyrogiess were not cooked through and through. They gave 1/2 sausage cut up on top of the pyrogies that was definitely not worth how much I paid for the order. Lethbridge is offering free gate admission so definitely would be worth the drive because the stampede in MH is boring unless you enjoy the dog show every year..... If your taking Children, my advice is to pack a healthy lunch. I noticed this particular vendor did not wash hands in between orders or coach staff on hand washing. I was concerned when they were handling meat and made hand to garbage bin contact with no hand washing. The only pros I could find is ...... I'm not sure. Need to think about it. It's the same year after year . Next year I'll be supporting the...
Read moreIt's a baby, baby version of the Calgary Stampede, and it shows. I have the privilege (disdain) of going to both this year and I can honestly say that I haven't missed anything. It's been twenty years since I've actually been to the Calgary Stampede during Stampede time and it isn't pleasant at all and merely a cash grab. The Medicine Hat version isn't as much of a cash grab, but it sure has less to do, as well. I would think an evening with the kids would be wonderful for the family, if your children are prepubescent. I would think teens could be bored enough to get themselves into trouble. Nevertheless, I went just for the fireworks. The Friday ones took too long to get started and I had to go. I made a point of watching the Saturday show except, they didn't happen. What...
