Weyburn's BEST Hotel? Microtel Inn & Suites Review (You Won't Believe This!)

Weyburn's Microtel: Hold on to Your Stetson (You Might Actually Like This Place!) - A Brutally Honest Review

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to tell you about the Microtel Inn & Suites in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. And let me tell you, "You Won't Believe This!" is slightly an understatement. I went in with the lowest of expectations – this is Weyburn, after all, not the Ritz-Carlton. But, folks, I’m here to report a mixed bag, a rollercoaster, a whole experience. Prepare yourselves.

First Impressions & Accessibility: Wheelin' and Dealin'

Okay, so first off, the accessibility. HUGE thumbs up. As someone who occasionally gets around with a cane (and hates those awkward hotel moments), I was pleasantly surprised. Wheelchair accessible throughout, with ramps, elevators, and all that jazz. This is a major win, and it's something too many hotels ignore. The elevator was smooth, and the front desk was surprisingly helpful (more on that later). They’ve got facilities for disabled guests, which is a relief to see. And the exterior corridors? Well, they're what you'd expect. Clean enough, functional.

The Room: My Tiny Kingdom (with a Few Quirks)

Let's talk rooms. I got a non-smoking room, thank goodness. Air conditioning blasted (thank the heavens!), and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in. The bed? Extra long bed. Score! Though, the carpeting felt a little…dated. And the bathroom phone? Seriously? Who uses that anymore? It felt like a relic from a bygone era. My inner 80s child was screaming.

Internet & Tech: Still a 21st-Century Hotel

Praise be! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (And, yes, it actually worked!). I was able to get some work done. They also have Internet access – LAN, if you're feeling old-school, and the desk itself was actually functional. The laptop workspace was a nice touch. They have Internet services, although I didn't put them to serious use. The satellite/cable channels were standard fare, and the on-demand movies were a nice touch for unwinding.

Cleanliness & Safety: They're Actually Trying!

Okay, this part really surprised me. I'm a bit of a germaphobe (don’t judge), so I paid very close attention. They've got the Daily disinfection in common areas, which is great. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, and a Room sanitization opt-out available, which is a great option, they also had Hand sanitizer. I also noted the Smoke detector, Fire extinguisher, and Security [24-hour].

Dining: Breakfast – Don't Expect Gourmet

Okay, the breakfast [buffet] was…well, it was there. Asian breakfast? Nope. Western breakfast? Mostly. Think the standard continental fare. Coffee/tea in restaurant was available. Individually-wrapped food options were a plus for hygiene. There was a Coffee shop. It wasn't culinary heaven, but it filled a hole (or three) in my stomach. In general, the breakfast service was okay.

Dining, drinking, and snacking:

• A la carte in restaurant?: I was not impressed.
• Alternative meal arrangement?: Not really.
• Asian cuisine in restaurant?: Nada.
• Bar?: No.
• Bottle of water?: Yes.
• Buffet in restaurant?: Yes, at breakfast; you may not like it
• Coffee/tea in restaurant?: Yes, at breakfast.
• Desserts in restaurant?: Nope.
• Happy hour?: No
• International cuisine in restaurant?: No.
• Poolside bar?: No, sad.
• Restaurants?: Only the breakfast.
• Room service [24-hour]?: Not available.
• Salad in restaurant?: No.
• Snack bar?: No.
• Soup in restaurant?: No.
• Vegetarian restaurant?: No.
• Western cuisine in restaurant?: Nope.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Keep Your Expectations in Check

Weyburn is not exactly a spa destination, let me tell you. No spa, no sauna, no steamroom, and no Body scrub. The Fitness center looked like it was built in the 80s. However, there is a Swimming pool. The Pool with view? Yeah, no. The Swimming pool [outdoor] was closed during my stay. So, relaxing? Well if you love a quiet room, you are in luck.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter

Here's where the Microtel actually shines. The staff were genuinely friendly. Daily housekeeping was on point. They have Contactless check-in/out, which I appreciated. Cash withdrawal was available. They have a Concierge (don't expect much). They also had a Convenience store…though its stock was a bit sparse. They have Laundry service (thank goodness!), as well as Ironing service. The luggage storage was helpful, and the safe deposit boxes were available. Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] were a bonus.

For the Kids: Meh

There's Family/child friendly options. They do have Kids facilities! Babysitting service is not available. Kids meal is not available.

The Anecdote That Says It All

Alright, here it is: On my first night, I requested extra pillows. I was prepared for a long wait, maybe a grumpy response. Instead? A woman with a genuine smile brought up four extra pillows, saying, "Hope you have a good night's sleep!" That small act of kindness stuck with me. That's what sets this place apart: the effort, the attempt to be more than just a basic hotel.

The Quirky Stuff & Imperfections (Because Life Isn't Perfect)

Okay, let's be real. Microtel Weyburn isn't perfect. The walls are a bit thin. I could hear the neighbor's TV. Not ideal. The décor? Let's just say it’s…functional. It's not exactly Instagram-worthy, but it's clean. The elevator hummed a bit, which was a bit annoying. And, the elevator was occasionally out of service - so you have to walk up stairs.

My Emotional Reaction (Honestly, It's Mixed!)

Look, I went in expecting a generic, forgettable experience. And, in some ways, that's what I got. But then there were moments – like the pillow lady, the clean rooms, the surprisingly good Wi-Fi – that made me smile. I left with a feeling that they actually care. That they're trying. And in a town like Weyburn, that goes a long way.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly planned, Instagram-filtered travel log. This is more like… well, it's more like what happens after a road trip through Saskatchewan. And yeah, it's all happening from the base of the Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Weyburn. God help us.

Microtel Meanderings: A Weyburn Whirlwind (Mostly)

Day 1: Arrival and the "Welcome to Canada" Glare

• 1:00 PM: Finally. Finally, after a flight that felt like I aged a decade and a rental car that smelled faintly of desperation and stale fries, I've reached Weyburn. Microtel. The promised land, or at least a land with indoor pool, which is all I really cared. Check-in was… functional. The front desk lady gave me the "You're from out of town, huh?" glare, the kind that says "Get your city slicker ways outta here." I’m already feeling like a deer in headlights. Sigh.
• 1:30 PM: Scoping out the room. Decent size, two queen beds (thank the lord, solo traveler!), and a view of… well, a parking lot. But hey, at least there’s a flat-screen TV. Priorities, people. Priorities.
• 2:00 PM: Food acquisition. Found a place called "Boston Pizza" (I know, laugh it up, I'm a traveler, ok?). Ordered way too much pasta. I was convinced I needed carbs to combat the travel exhaustion. Ate half the pasta. Regretted the pasta.
• 3:30 PM: Pool time! The indoor pool situation at the Microtel is… adequate. The chlorine smell is strong, but the water is warm. There's a family nearby with screaming children. I try to channel my inner peace, which mostly translates to "Pretend you can't hear them and maybe they'll go away." It works… kinda.
• 6:00 PM: Attempt at a walk. Weyburn. A town where the wind has a personal vendetta. It was like being sandblasted with air. I only made it to the gas station and back. Back to my sanctuary room.
• 7:00 PM: TV time. Found a terrible movie that oddly, made me feel cozy.
• 10:00 PM: Lights out. Exhaustion wins.

Day 2: Prairie Dreams and Rusty Relics (and a LOT of coffee)

• 7:00 AM: Alarm. Ugh. The motel's continental breakfast beckons. Prepare for carbs, cold cereal, and sadness.
• 8:00 AM: Breakfast. It was exactly as predicted. The coffee, however, delivered. I needed it. Heading out for some exploration.
• 9:00 AM: The Soo Line Historical Museum. Okay, this was actually pretty cool. It's a collection of old trains and buildings. I swear, I found myself getting weirdly nostalgic for a time I didn't even live through. The volunteer, a woman named Agnes, she kept telling me stories. I don't fully remember them, but I do remember Agnes.
• 12:00 PM: Lunch. Decided to be adventurous and tried a local diner. Ordered a burger. It was… a burger. Nothing life-altering, but okay. And I think the waitress was judging my burger-eating technique. Seriously, is there a proper way?
• 1:30 PM: More exploring. I wandered the empty streets of Weyburn. The prairie sky is vast. It takes you're breath away. And then it takes your sinuses.
• 3:00 PM. Tried to catch a movie, but the movie theater of Weyburn was closed.
• 4:00 PM: Back to the Microtel. The pool. This time I actually got in the pool to swim. The kids weren't there. I was happy. I swam.
• 6:00 PM: Pizza delivery to the room. Again. I justified it this time. I am on vacation.
• 7:00 PM: Watching the local news. It was the most boring news I've ever seen.
• 10:00 PM: Exhaustion wins again.

Day 3: Farewell Weyburn (and a lingering sense of "What Now?")

• 7:00 AM: You know the drill. Breakfast. Coffee. Regret.
• 8:00 AM: Checked out. The "You're leaving, huh?" glare. Maybe I'm projecting.
• 9:00 AM: Hit the road. Bye, Weyburn. You were…. an experience.

Post-Trip Thoughts and Epilogue:

Okay, so Weyburn wasn't exactly Bali. It's slow, it's quiet, it's… well, it's Weyburn. And maybe that's the point. There's a certain honesty to it, a realness that you don't always find in the big, glitzy tourist traps. Did I have a life-altering adventure? Nope. Did I find my Zen in an indoor pool? Maybe, just maybe. Did I eat way too much pizza? Absolutely. Would I go back? Honestly, probably not. But I’ll always remember Agnes. And the wind. The damn wind.

Microtel Weyburn: My Honest, Messy, Maybe-a-Little-Dramatic Review (You've Been Warned!)

Okay, spill it. Is the Microtel in Weyburn REALLY the "BEST" hotel? Come on now…

Okay, alright, deep breaths. BEST? That's a *strong* claim, isn't it? And the truth is... it depends. Look, Weyburn isn't exactly the Bahamas. It’s Saskatchewan, land of the long drive and… well, let's just say charm in *some* forms. So, is it the best in the context of Weyburn? Maybe. It’s definitely... *better* than some I've seen. Let's just say my expectations were low walking in (I mean, it's a Microtel, right?). But, I was pleasantly… mostly… surprised. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly writing sonnets about it, but it wasn't a complete disaster.

Let's talk rooms. Cleanliness? What's the vibe?

The rooms... well, they *felt* clean. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so I usually bring my own Lysol wipes (judge me, I dare you!), but I didn’t feel the overwhelming urge to scrub things down. Which, you know, is saying something. The vibe? Kind of… beige. Predictable. Think functional comfort. Not exactly "Instagram-worthy minimalist chic," but also not "your creepy uncle's basement apartment." The lighting was okay, the bed was… well, it was a bed. Not the cloud-like experience you see advertised, but definitely not a torture device. My biggest gripe? The *lack* of decent outlets! This is 2024, people! I need ALL the chargers!

The dreaded "free breakfast." How bad (or good) was it? Dish the dirt!

Ah, breakfast. The make-or-break of a hotel stay, right? This is where the *real* drama began. The "free breakfast" - let's call it a "continental suggestion." Yes, there were those pre-packaged muffins of varying degrees of staleness. Yes, the instant oatmeal was present and accounted for. But… (and this is where things get interesting) there was a waffle maker. A *waffle maker*. And it was *functional*. I can’t even explain the joy it brought me. I’m talking, I put on the whole plate, loaded it with butter and syrup like I hadn't eaten in days (which, admittedly, might have been true after the long drive). It was genuinely… good. Like, *surprisingly* good. Okay, maybe I was hungry. Maybe my standards were lowered by the beige aesthetic. But in that moment, I was in waffle heaven. The coffee, however… let’s just say it needed a LOT of cream and sugar. A LOT.

Okay, so you liked the waffles. Anything else that impressed you? Any downsides? Lay it all out!

Alright, other things. The staff were… friendly. Not overly exuberant, which is fine by me. Just genuinely helpful. They seemed to care, which is a HUGE plus. The Wi-Fi was decent (needed for my streaming addiction, obviously). The parking was plentiful, which is a godsend after a long drive. Now the bad... Aside from the outlet situation, the noise! I heard everything! Kids running down the hall, the ice machine churning (which, let’s be honest, is a hotel staple!), and… someone’s late-night bathroom needs. My walls weren’t exactly soundproof. Also, the gym. There was a "gym." And it looked… lonely. I didn't venture in, but from the glimpse I got, it was basically lonely treadmills and the faint promise of better times.

Let's talk about Location! How was the Microtel's location?

The location! Hmm... I'm not sure I'd say the location alone is the 'best' aspect. It's *fine*. Convenient enough to get to the main drag. There’s a Tim Hortons nearby (essential for any Canadian experience, am I right?). It was close to… well, *things* in Weyburn. It’s easy to hop on and off the main road, which is a plus when you're on a mission to get somewhere. But I wouldn't say the view itself was breath-taking, or that there were cute little shops to walk to.

Would you stay there again? The ultimate question!

Would I stay again? Honestly? Yeah, probably. Especially if I’m just passing through and need a place to crash. For the price and relative cleanliness (and the waffle maker, I can’t stress this enough!), it's a solid, if unspectacular, option. It won’t blow your mind. It won’t win any design awards. But it’s a perfectly adequate place to rest your weary head. Just bring earplugs and an extension cord…and maybe a carton of real maple syrup for those waffles. You won't regret the syrup. Trust me.

What else?

Oh my god, let me think! There was a weird, *very* strong air freshener smell in the lobby...I think it was trying too hard. And there was a tiny pool and a jacuzzi...which I didn't use, and, admittedly, just looked kinda sad. Did I mention the waffles? Okay, I'll stop. But seriously, the waffles...

So, what's the *final* verdict?

Look, it’s not the Ritz. But it's not trying to be. It's a perfectly serviceable Microtel in Weyburn. It's not a five-star experience, but if you’re looking for something clean, reasonably priced, and with a waffle maker that's ready to rumble, this might just be your place. JUST BRING THE EARPLUGS. And maybe extra syrup... 😉
