Last time i visited Sylvan lake, i stayed at a motel further down the road to this one and had a bad experience so decided this time that prior to visiting Sylvan, i would look at a number of reviews on this and other motels in the area. I decided to book two nights in Raccoon and two nights elsewhere... More

Great Location, Friendly Staff, carpet is kind of grubby, we kept our shoes on, it was great for the September Long weekend with ten year old twins and a 12 year old. It was nice to have a kitchennette. I checked the beds before using them and didn't see any issues. I wouldn't pick this for a romantic getaway, but... More

My sister and I took our kids (8yrs, 12 yrs and 14 yrs) to Sylvan lake and stayed at the Racoon Lodge. She had stayed there approx 6 yrs ago when it was under different management. The motel is now under different owners and the place is a dump! We stayed in a kitchenette (the dishes were filthy), the beds... More

My wife and I like to spend a fun night at Sylvan Lake once or twice a year. We like this hotel since it's on the main strip, right near the action. There aren't any issues parking and we can hang out in Sylvan all day. The actual rooms themselves weren't anything special but they are cheap and we don't... More

Every sane person would think that she meant there were FOUR beds in each room" Um, no, every sane person would know that "each room accommodates 4 people" means two double beds. Who's ever seen a room with 4 single... More

We went to Sylvan Lake after a conference in Calgary... therefore, our group, after leaving the conference, headed to Sylvan Lake during the summer to get together and have a retreat/meetings where some technical discussions took place. Well, the motel is in a good location... The first complain was when we booked the rooms. We said we wanted to accommodate... More

I have been visiting sylvan lake every summer for the last four years, having lived in red deer nearby many years ago, and i can truthfully say this is one of only two places i would stay at again. I arrived with my wife and kids and was instantly made to feel at ease by the manager who although clearly... More

the manager is nice i will give her that, but i would rather have a cleaner room than a new friend, we did have to ask for new and clean sheets, when the lady came to change the sheets she put the comforter on the dirty carpet, it turned me off, i do believe they only clean the rooms when... More

The walls in this hotel are quite thin and it is on the main strip in town, with every souped up vehicle driving by into the early morning hours. People sit out on the balconies chatting, drinking and laughing until the early morning hours. The curtains do not block the blinding sun that comes in a few hours later....so instead... More
