So, if you're looking for a hotel in medicine hat, and you search online, you'll likely find the Medicine Hat Lodge. "4 star hotel" they claim. Well, maybe 4 stars out of 20. The rooms are old, and have not been renovated in decades. (I was told by a hotel employee that "renovations are being started any time now." $149... more

I was shocked to see the state of this hotel, especially after looking through the website. The bathroom sink does not drain, it has dozens of cigarette burns, the air conditioner does not work well, the smell of the room is terrible, and the towels are terrible. i've traveled a great deal and stayed in hundreds of hotels...this is by... more

We stayed at the Medicine Hat Lodge in June of 2008 while in town with a team competing in a sports tournament. The Medicine Hat Lodge was priced at a decent rate; we did not have high expectations going in, as we were aware that it was an older property and would likely be overrun with sports teams. The Lodge... more

Our room was filthy, garbage on the floor from previous guest, no pillow case on 2 pillows, stained walls, telephone and matresses (yes both) floor was disgusting, had to call 3 times for a baby crib that we didn't get until 9:00 after his bedtimed (with no bedding for it), coffee still in mugs from previous guest, bathroom smelled of... more

In a town like Medicine Hat, your options are limited for sure. I truly believe that if the MHL did not have the waterpark it would surely be a sub par hotel. The high humidity from the pool/waterslides wreaks havoc on the carpets, walls and bedding. The odour is musty and difficult to get used to. The rooms show their... more

Stayed for 3 nights at a convention. Though my room was really clean, the rest of the hotel was not. The hallways were not too bad but the stairwells literally stank of some horrible odor. Since the two elevators were always very busy, I used the stairs frequently. I noted one sign, I think on my desk, that indicated the... more

Ignore anyone or any advertisement that tells you that this is a four star hotel. It should be pretty obvious that a place like Medicine Hat isn't going to have a four star hotel. I've been to a lot of three star hotels that would be better than the Lodge. I found that the front desk staff was very friendly... more

I stayed for five nights last November. I was originally given a smoking room overlooking the pool, which was unacceptable as it smelled terrible. I was then moved to a room overlooking the outside of the complex, which was great as I could open the window and get some fresh air. My collegues who stayed in their 'smoking rooms' which... more

The room was filthy and dated, something you would expect of a cheap motel. My husband and I were treated unprofessionally by the hotel staff. We were pleasantly surprised with the delicious buffet brunch in the hotel restaurant, and the restaurant service was wonderful. We would go back for the brunch, but would not book a future stay at the... more
