Overview
Located in Brooks' city centre and less than a minute from the Trans-Canada Highway, the Lakeview Inn and suites is suited with road travellers looking to be near the highway as well as those that may require a suite instead of a just a room (some king bed suites are available).

This hotel has 78 air-conditioned guest rooms and suites, each offering cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a coffeemaker, a mini-fridge, a DVD player, a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board. King suites have a separate bedroom, a living area with a sofabed, and two TVs.

Hotel amenities include a business centre, fitness facilities, a meeting room, laundry services, and free parking. Pets are permitted for $25 per pet per stay, and this hotel is wheelchair accessible.

A free continental breakfast is available daily to all guests, while nearby restaurants include China Delight Family Restaurant (just south of the hotel), and O'Shea's Eatery and Ale House (about a 4-minute walk north).

The Lakeview Inn and Suites is roughly a 4-minute drive from the local cinema, Oasis Theatre. Brooks and District Museum is 5 minutes away by car, while Dinosaur Provincial Park is about a 55-minute drive northeast of the hotel. Medicine Hat Airport (YXH) is approximately an hour's drive away. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)

The hotel's staff were paid many compliments by guests. Staff were characterized as helpful, efficient and friendly.

Many patrons found the hotel to be a good value. They were pleased with the inclusion of the complimentary breakfast in the price, and one guest stated the hotel was, "well worth the cost".

The Bad
While most of the reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a couple common complaints among them, which included the cleanliness of the common areas and the pool being closed.

Some guests complained of the lack of cleanliness in the common areas. They described the lobby and elevator floors as dirty, and felt the hallway rugs needed shampooing. It was also mentioned there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the lobby.

A few reviewers were disappointed that the pool and sauna were closed during their stay. The hotel is no longer advertising the pool and sauna as amenities, as they remain closed indefinitely.

"Jacuzzi suite."
"The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were excellent. The room was very clean and the jacuzzi tub was superb. Loved everything except the very small TV and the TV reception was poor - hard to watch the hockey game on it. The breakfast was very good. Had excellent waffle maker."

"The pool was out of service (which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel!). When we booked through the number from your website we were told we would be able to get cots for our kids and the hotel didn't have any!"

Barbara from Claresholm, AB CA rated Lakeview Inn & Suites Brooks 4 out of 10 on May 29, 2004 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"My kids and I hurried to get to the hotel to enjoy the evening in the pool and hot tub only to discover the pool too cold to go in and the hot tub out of order. There was no reduction in the rate even after complaining about it. The pool was the reason we chose this hotel and were willing to pay the extra cost. ( The desk manager's comment was just to say that she hated it too when that sort of thing happens). There is a card in the room that states to let the desk know if anything is not satisfactory. My question is why bother? if nothing will be done about it."
