These units need a LOT of work. Not enough outlets. The one behind the TV has 6 things plugged into it including microwave and fridge. Bathtub does not drain. Desk and furniture way too large for the size of the unit. Can get to the few outlets they have. Volume on TV did not work with remote so sound was full blast Has 12 cup coffee maker and they supply 2 individual coffee packets typically used in individual cup machines.

The room we stayed in had bugs in the bathroom. The room smelled like an ashtray, it hadn't been cleaned in at least two week from all the dust/dirt and past guests receipt on the floor. The floors were so dirty that threw out the socks when had worn inside because they turned pitch black and we had to wear our shoes inside for the rest ofnthe stay.

I slept on a pull out bed but there was no sheets or pillows for it. I went to the drive-in and didn't get back till 2:00 so couldn't tell anyone, too late. I did inform manager in the morning. They did nothing to compensate me for the mess up. I had a terrible sleep and needed a 4 hour nap the next day. I had to use the blanket off the double bed to lay on and the bedspread as my blanket. The chairs by the pool were broken.

Meth head/ Pill Popper Heaven! Stay Away!
First of all, I have never actually taken the time to leave any kind of a review for any hotel found on Hotels.com other than a thumbs up! Unfortunately the Schell Motel also known as Vernon's Grand Central Station for dope deals, is by far the absolute worst hotel/motel, I have ever come across. For comparison this place is on par with the former Albany and Barry Hotels in Saskatoon, (Google for reference). To say I was deceived by the pics on the internet would be abit of an understatement. On day 1 of our "family trip" I was greeted by the two trolls that "manage" this dump. About an hour later while I sat on the patio after unpacking, I watched the female troll lean the hood of my truck with one of their many "longterm tenants" aka meth head/pill popper and then proceed to start writing on the hood of my $80k truck! After I called her out from the patio and walked down the stairs to see the damage, she first tried to deny writing anything then immediately admitted to her stupidity. On our first night I must have witnessed atleast 50 drug transactions take place out of suite 101, aka Vernon's #1 drug dealer as my neighbor Jon in suite 207 put it. In the am after grabbing a Timmies and while waiting for my wife/kids to wake-up I sat on the patio and watched "my"/ "your" tax dollars hard at work, as the paramedics administered Narcan! Male Troll is fully aware of this BS, and is 100% ok with it! He says they're slowly moving them out. Liar! Hotels.com should be ashamed!

We did not end up staying at this motel. We asked for a refund and are unsure if we will get it. As we pulled into the area there were drug addicts all around. The outside of the motel looked much more rundown than pictures showed. When my husband went in to talk to someone at the front desk there was no one there and he actually had to track down the employee who once found still took a while to come up to the fro t to talk to him. We did not feel safe staying in this area with our young family so asked if it was possible to get a refund as we would be moving on. I can not speak to the cleanliness of the room or the rest of the motel property as we did not stick around to check it out.

The pool and hot tub area seems well-kept, but not a lot of attention is put into cleaning the rooms. We only had one real interaction with the staff at check-in, which was awkward and uncomfortable. We went to check out the next morning at 10am only to meet locked lobby doors and a disgruntled guest who said he had been there for 20 mins trying to check out. A car pulled up shortly after we got there, some people got out and a man who said, "I dont even work here, I'm just here to help check-out' proceeded to take our keys (which we werent too comfortable with as he had just said that he was not employed there) and refund us the damage deposit for the room. The whole experience was weird, and as loud and outspoken as the other guest was he was correct. It was very unprofessional of the business.

This is the most disgusting place I have ever been. We checked in late after a long drive, and the front desk staff was not friendly. Although the room didn't look too bad, the smell was terrible. I doubt they change the linens. We were so disgusted that we didn't want to sleep on the bed or touch anything, but we had no choice. I used my own clothes as bedsheets and dried myself with our own paper towels after finding hair in the towels. I do not recommend this place. If I had known, we would have slept in the car instead of wasting money on this motel.

This property is a drug house, I got put in a room connected to a room with drug users. . I couldn’t sleep as I felt unsafe at this property, when I called the owner to explain I felt unsafe he hung up on. This property should not be advertised as a motel as it appears to be a rental for drug users.

They said for the late check in the key would be in the mailbox. No such key! With people sitting beside the mailbox going on about how awful it is in the drug deals that are happening everywhere and go anywhere but here. We didn’t have a choice because they wouldn’t answer the phone the mailbox was full so we had to go find somewhere else to stay. Just terrible!
