Quality Inn & Suites — Hotel in Moose Jaw

The Quality Inn & Suites in Moose Jaw was the most spacious and best equipped hotel in which we stayed during our cross country trek from Southern Ontario to BC and involving 7-hotels in 7-nights. Our selection criteria were for a pet friendly place at reasonable cost. ||||We felt we got more than fair value with the quality of the room and the service received. And, for pet friendly, we were delighted that our dog was welcomed by name and offered a treat. A small drawback is there isn't much grass (yet?) in which doggie business might be done.||||Upon entering our room we were happy to have a small tiled area and a kitchenette with a small cooktop, a full size refrigerator, microwave, ceramic dishes, real tableware, and wash and dish towels. We took advantage in preparing (reheat) dinner during our stay and used the sink and dish soap to properly wash our travel mugs and a few other things.||||Like a few other properties in which we stayed, the room has a small table with two chairs. These are best suited for eating meals but not optimal as a workstation. As this wasn't a business trip, not having a desk and workstation chair wasn't a problem. An interesting alternative was that the room was equipped with a laptop desk (see pictures). My daughter fell upon this and happily sat on the bed with her laptop. I did the limited amount of things I needed to do on the dining table.||||The television was a modern, narrow bezel, flatscreen TV with HD service. It's wall mounted and sited roughly between both Queen beds in the room. The angle is awkward from the table (but the table can be moved easily).||||Like many (most?) mid-priced hotels, there is but a single night stand between both beds. Above the night stand is a single light fixture with dual light switches. Not the most convenient but not the worst arrangement either. A workaround will be needed to simulate a second nightstand. Perhaps the sitting chair or the odd matching upholstered table would serve? Oh, there's only one wired telephone in the room that's on the upholstered table. The location may or may not be convenient. I don't think the cord reached the desk.||||A nicety is the clock radio on the single night table provides dual AC outlets and dual USB charging port. We've found that many of the older hotels still require you to hunt for outlets and may necessitate unplugging something if you have a charger to plug in. Having desktop outlets is much more convenient. The beds themselves were very comfortable.||||One of the few downsides to our room was the lack of counter space in the bathroom. I ended up balancing my toiletries bag on the top of the toilet tank. This is un-ideal as I'm always worried that I'll end up knocking something into the toilet.||||COVID-19 measures were in place in September 2020 during our stay. The hotel set up hot breakfast for pick-up and to be eaten back in the room. This is a step up from the cold bagged breakfasts we were offered at a few other places or where breakfast was discontinued altogether. The sausage was good, the eggs were a bit on the meh side an would have benefited from some hot sauce, the potatoes had lots of ham included. All told, a hearty and welcome breakfast.||||One last thing, the Quality Inn & Suites is just down the road from Mac the Moose, the Snowbirds Tutor Jet, and the local Tourism office. Definitely opportunities for photos and/or selfies.||||We would most definitely...

Not impressed with the not so quality inn.

The grout in the tile floor was supposed to be beige but was black with grime. When I spoke to the front desk, they told me they don’t clean the grout every day. I don’t think the grout was ever cleaned. I went out and purchased a pail and cleaner and scrubbed it clean so I could be comfortable with my stay.

The kitchen tap was too loose to use, so I crawled under the sink and tightened it.

The curtains did not close all the way, I had to move the hooks into the proper place so they overlapped like they were meant to.

I requested no housekeeping during my stay and put out the do not disturb sign, only to come back to find the towels and garbage changed.

The bathroom tap leaked all over the counter if you turned it on all the way.

The room had dishes, a hot plate, fridge and sink but no drying rack for dishes. Only some towels. I went out and purchased a dish rack.

One morning my shower was cold. When I mentioned it to the front desk they said it happens sometimes when it’s very cold out and they have to go clear a stack. They should check that every day it’s extremely cold so people don’t end up in cold showers.

I was going to use the exercise room but the fumes in there from the rubber floor were so bad I...
