Willow Inn Motel

Pros-The young man at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The air conditioning worked very well. Hot water was good, but the water smells and tastes not so good, and I have not encountered this elsewhere in Quesnel. The room had a fridge and a microwave, a real bonus.The neighbours were quiet so no trouble sleeping. Beds were fine. It was very inexpensive so I hesitate to complain, but as I rely on these reviews when I am selecting a hotel I will be frank. The reviews for the Willow were half very bad and half good, so I figured maybe some of the fussier people were the princess type. Not so. We asked to have the sheets changed, (blood and ? stains, at least I hope they were stains), and this was done, no problem. We let them know the door handle was loose and it was promptly fixed also. Extra pillows were provided as they were very thin, anything we asked for we did receive promptly.But the room really needed a good clean, and there were mouse droppings in the cupboard.Not very many plug ins either.The parking lot had garbage thrown around and the junipers had a telephone and underwear thrown there, maybe that is why the room has no telephone or clock. (Also strangely, not one picture on the walls, very bleak.) Windows could do with a clean, all in all, it looked as though no one cared.

It's a bed and that is about it. Decor looks like nothing has changed since 1972 but we had no problems and the room was relatively clean.

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times for work. It's pretty outdated, but the beds are comfy and everything is clean in the rooms. It's one of the cheapest places in Quesnel, so you can't expect everything to be nice and new, but it's clean. Each room has it's own wireless modem, so your internet connection is fast and not crowded by other users, which is the hotels best feature. The front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend for a no frills place to stay on a road trip, or for work.

Old motel in need of renovation. Clean & comfortable enough if wanting to save money.
