Hotel is older but well maintained. Restaurant was closed for the season but there was another one nearby. Room was comfortable and well maintained. As there are not a lot of options in Blue River, this was a good choice.
Room was well equipped with everything needed. Parking was easy. Staff very friendly. Their restaurant was closed and none other in town. For an overnight it was great.
Comfortable stay, coffee, ground floor parking and quiet

The best part was the helpful the lady at the front desk. The hotel was easy to acess on the first floor for loading and unloading bags and 2 young children. The place needs to finish their renovations though to make things better.
Motel was doing some renovations to the front office & restaurant while we were there , so the restaurant was not open...
rooms are clean...price is reasonable...close to town
It is a very tired motel in need of serious TLC. However the bed was comfortable and the shower was okay although the tub is chipped. It needs to be fresher.

This particular Sandman was priced reasonably well, and its location is ideal if one is looking for some solitude and reprieve. Definitely an older motel, and needing quite a few renovation upgrades… I.e.… Carpets are quite aged, furniture is needing to be updated, etc. Queen bed was very comfortable, and linens were new and fresh. Unfortunately, there was a leak in the entryway, so front desk staff did their best too patch it, until I repair man will have to come in fix it.
Very clean and spacious! Great stay and nice little town. Amenities everywhere easily accessible. Parking was easy.

We liked that the traffic and train noise was not a problem at all. We didn't like that the grouting around the bathtub needs replacing, that the coffee pot was dirty, and that one sheet had stains and a hole along the side. In general, it needs a facelift.
Front desk staff was polite and helpful. The room were clean and basic. Coffee and breakfast on the go would have me stay again. Ok for a quick sleep before driving on

Very friendly staff, a little run down but clean and comfortable.
This was our 2nd stay. I chose the Sandman in Blue River, because its half way between Edmonton and home. It is very clean and cozy, room was large enough and I highly appreciate the option to psrk right by the room, it makes for very easy unpacking and packing. There is lots of free parking, and easy access to Yellowhead highway, although we didnt hear any noises. Staff very attentive and kind. Blue River is a cute little town, the gas station is very well stocked. Unlike last year, there were almost no mosquitoes this time
Room was clean and beds were comfortable.
Internet pictures were of a new, modern room in a hotel. Actual was a very dated room in major need of updating. Old smell was difficult to take, Hard to trust the Sandman chain for any other locations.
