Travelled all day and really tired. I usually stay in Sandman hotels and usually very good. The price was good, the service was good as is the location. The room was a real disappointment. Stains on the sheets, stains on the carpet, stains on the back of the bathroom door and the bath didn't drain when I showered. Wait it... More

This is a great hotel, Staff is friendly, and knowledgeable. They let us check in very early, and made some suggestions as to where to go since we had never been to Castlegar before. They also put us on an exterior room due to a lot of hockey teams being in town and the interior gets loud in the pool... More

I stayed here on business out of convenience. If I were to come back to Castlegar, I would stay somewhere else. The entire hotel has an odd odor to it. I thought I would get used to it but I didn't. I had a room near the back but the noise from the road out front bothered me all night.... More

The lobby and outside of the Sandman Inn is nice. The pool area looked nice as well. The bathrooms in both rooms that my company had booked were dirty (mirrors not cleaned, hair in the sink, whiskers on the counter), there was garbage under the beds, the coffeepots and cups were dirty, and the elevator smelled like urine. The front... More

My stay at the sandman in castlegar was great! I appreciated the warm welcome from the moment I stepped foot into the hotel right to the friendly Sales Assistant who helped me to my room (found it a bit confusing with the hallways how to find the right one to my room!). Rooms were quiet. It would be nice to... More

My family and I really enjoyed the pool. My husband enjoyed the hot tub most of all. The pool wasn't too cold and the hot tub wasn't too hot; although it would have been nice if the jets worked. Front desk said the jets have never worked. I was disappointed when I discovered that breakfast wasn't free, but even more... More

We pulled into the Sandman after a long day on the road. The rooms are terribly dated and we were on the back, close to the highway. However - on a bright note - great location, pet friendly, superb staff. It is fine for a night or two and I believe that they are trying to upgrade this property.
