The room was clean and quiet, however, the property is showing its age. We were advised not to use the microwave and another appliance at same time as it could trip a breaker.... We also received a phone call close to midnight asking when we would be arriving which was odd since we had checked in 6 hours earlier.

We stop by overnight stay in our road trip to Vancouver. On the way our arrival was delayed due to traffic. But night staff was so understandable and nice. She left the room key for us even though reception desk close at 11.00pm. Very much appreciated that help.

Blue River was a perfect stopping point on our road trip but the Sandman hotel was very disappointing. The restaurant wasn't open as there wasn't staff to run it, thankfully we had brought some snacks. We heard gunshots from the parking lot so we stayed locked in our room all night. But worst of all, the room was filled with mosquitos! I was bit several times on my face throughout the night and the constant buzzing was enough to drive anyone crazy. The hotel room itself had everything we needed and the staff were very nice, we just expected a little more for the price of the room.

Needs upkeep but decent place for the price.
The whole building is aging and you can tell the upkeep hasn't been a priority the last few years or more. Everything needs a very good cleaning and cosmetic repairs. That being said, the beds and bathroom were very passably clean and the beds were quite comfortable. It was a decent place to rest for the night, especially with it coming in under 200 dollars. The restaurant had a sign that said "this is closed this week", so I can't comment on that.
