The only things I liked about Travelodge by Wyndham Edmonton South were the location and the huge parking space, other than that, nothing.
First, I checked in online, assuming it would speed things up upon arrival, but we still had to wait in a long line since there was only one front desk staff on duty. Keep in mind, they were fully booked, so they should have expected guests arriving after 3 PM and assigned at least two staff members to make the check-in process faster.
Second, the rooms were old. In the room we were assigned, you couldn’t even tell if the exhaust fan was working unless you closed the bathroom door and listened closely, it was barely noticeable. If someone uses the bathroom or takes a hot shower, you have to wait at least 30 minutes for the smell or moisture to go away.
The food was just okay, basically eggs and bread.
Lastly, on our final day, checkout time was at 11 AM. We were still relaxing in the room around 10 AM when someone knocked only once and then opened the door. Seriously? Do they not coordinate with the front desk to check whether a room has already been checked out? My son was changing clothes when they opened the door using their key card. Ridiculous.
Never again.
