Northwinds Hotel Revelstoke in Revelstoke

We stayed here on our way from Vancouver to Calgary. It is undeniably, unarguably the oldest hotels that I have ever stayed. Everything looked so old. I couldn't even believe that there is "NO ELEVATOR FOR GUEST USE".
Our room was on first floor. So we had to carry all our luggage through the stairs during check-in and check out. The rooms were not too clean. You could spot dust everywhere from top of the light fixtures to the corners behind the furniture.

When it comes to the kitchen, it doesn't have any designated entry. And it is wide open next to the check-in desk and the pool. For the breakfast, they don't serve any thing fresh. All you have available is bread, boiled egg, coffee/ tea, apples.
The pool ad the hot tub didn't seem like up to standard [appearance] . So me and the kids didn't even go there.

Another big highlight of this place is that the railway track is just behind the hotel, probably less than 30 feets away. The sound of the trains on the track and it's squeaky noise of the trains break pads in action can make you really uncomfortable at regular intervals. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with any heaing issues like tinitness, hearing aides, migraine .

Overall the stay was disappointing enough that we regretted staying in there. The town itself and the area around was gorgeous.

We stayed here overnight in the way from Alberta to the west coast. The hotel itself is older but seems to be decently maintained. It had a nice area for breakfast in the morning and had a decent assortment of items to enjoy before we hit the road again. The room was okay, it had a bizarre extra sink mounted in the middle of the room beside the full bathroom which was a bit odd, but the beds were reasonably comfortable and the room was dated but clean.

That said, our room was located at the very end of a hallway where smokers were going outside and leaving the door propped open, this allowed cold air to pour down the hallway and into our room as there was no proper sweep on the bottom of our room door, just a gap. I had to lift the door stop and close it a handful of times during the evening. The door itself has a swipe card access on it so the door stop should be removed and people just use their card to get in and out. Leaving it propped open also allows people from the street easy access into the hotel. Not very safe.

The hotel is also not very well insulated from the sound of constant trains running through Revelstoke at all hours of the day, so you will hear the constant chugging of locomotives as you’re trying to sleep. We got hardly any rest as a result.

The girl at the front desk was nice enough but pretty unconcerned about our complaints regarding the ‘smoking door’ by our room. Overall it wasn’t a super positive experience and we wouldn’t stay here again, especially given the price we paid for one night in early April.

The rooms were nice and spacious, generally clean but dated. The hot tub outdoors was not maintained during our stay and smelled like chicken broth. The breakfast was good but basic. The only unacceptable thing was the actual literal cockroach that was chilling in the bathroom vent on our first night there. No other hotels had room for our group of 10, so we were forced to stay there.
