Generally serves as a work camp just outside Rainbow Lake. Rooms are very clean and much larger than expected compared to a camp. Food is very good and included in the accommodation. Wireless Internet is a bit aggravating during the evening. TV is a digital flat screen. Outrigger pub is located next door if you want to have a drink and have pub food. Not an average work camp

Richard Van Holland the manager and his Staff, have got to be one of the most friendly and professional people I have found in the hotel business. The rooms are Clean and quite when you want to sleep, the food all three meals of the day were exceptional, home cooked food, ( if you eat what is available you will gain weight ) it is that good.. When I go back in that area in the future definetly will stay there again.....

Great staff, good food, clean rooms with comfortable beds. I will stay there any time I return for work. You can get four types of rooms which vary in size despite the other guys review about rooms being small.

Okay this place is way underrated for sure their facilities are far better than most hotel chains that I stay at, in fact far cleaner as well. The fitness room it's not big but it is a far nicer and more functional fitness room than most of the hotel chains that I stay at. The food in the restaurant is excellent, this is crazy I almost want to stay here more often. The people that work here are incredibly friendly and you don't feel like you're a pain in the butt like you do at some of the other places that I've stayed at and I travel all throughout western Canada for work. This place may not look like much in the outside but I'll tell you what it's all about what's on the inside.

Brendan, Karen and other staff are Most accommodating, helpful and polite. They made my stay comfortable as well it's very clean and the beds are amazing. Wendy is one of the best chefs that I've come across with delicious food and creativity. Peter and Paul are great as well. I highly recommend this place.

I've spent many nights here over the past 5 years. The staff are always great and the rooms are always clean. The rooms are comfortable. Unlike other hotels, you have to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and soap, and there is no hair dryer, iron, fridge, or microwave. The TV is standard definition, but adequate. The food is hit and miss. Things that are fried are usually over-fried, but usually you can manufacture a good meal from the options. Every now and then the food is so bad I just head to the Outrigger across the parking lot. My biggest criticism is that the internet is painfully slow, especially in the evening when everyone is back from the field. I recommend downloading movies/shows before you leave home.

Standard room is a twin bed, but it's comfortable enough. Very clean room and hotel, no issues at all. The TV is a small tube television, but it has satillite channels and works fine. The food is amazing, had a great steak dinner tonight; breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all provided. Internet is decent, but not quite fast enough to stream Netflix or anything. Laundry is complimentary, which is really nice- just remember to bring detergent. Pool tables are available upstairs. Overall, I would definitely recommend.
