Only place in town
Old motel. Noisy heater. Very basic but not much for choice if you need to stay in the Castor area. Nearby restaurant was very good though.

Made reservation but room not available 😐
I reserved a room for a business trip. I had an assistant traveling with me and I required two beds. I specified two double beds when I made my reservation. When I arrived at the location, I was informed that two double beds were not available. I will repeat that I reserved two double beds. But they were not available. Why do I make a reservation if I don’t get when I needed? Very dissatisfied! This affected our whole stay. Our rooms were not equipped with full sized bath towels. We had to request them which meant another trip to the front desk. The room pictured on your site did not match the appearance of the room we stayed in. It was not a good experience. Will not stay there again.

Good location; the rooms need to have lightbulbs and functioning outlets. The towel rack broke in our room and the tv was not functioning (or maybe we didn't know how to access - a written set of instructions could have helped. The interac was down and had to rush out to bank within a half hour of closing to pay in cash; total payment was incorrect and had to provide proof with the written account I had on hand. No functioning wifi for hotel guests

I booked 2 rooms for with a kitchenette for 4 days for 4 guys on a hunting trip. Firstly, when we arrived they said they only had 1 room and it wasn't a kitchenette. They blamed Expedia, even though we had received confirmation of our bookings and provided the hotel with our itinerary and confirmation number from Expedia. The following night we were given 2 kitchenettes but there were no utensils, bowls, plates, cups etc. Nothing in the room. We had to go buy our own ice and cups. One of the fridges had no handle and had to be opened with a screw. Carpets, bedding, etc were very old and way overdue for a cleaning or update! Overall, we are a bunch of guys who aren't overly fussy where we stay when we go hunting but this was by far the worst of the worst.

The property is not set up in a way that would allow all occupants a place to park their vehicle, which is against building code. Design needs improvement. Don't place guests so close that they cannot even park their vehicle when you've got two pickups at 107 and like 103. Why not put me away from them? Also, Free continental breakfast should be available now. A lot of places have gone the extra mile to make it happen regardless of COVID-19! And don't quote me 6:00 am - 9:00 am and then don't open til 6:45! But I like the guy here, he's really friendly, I just wish they would look after their guests a little more than they do. Take some fertilizer and kill those plants growing out there as well. The place is infested with weeds! Hey, the Consort Sunrise still offers the lowest rates in the province, $49/nt and he even includes a free Breakfast voucher for the nearby Esso! Why can't Grey Goose do something similar? Overall, average room with fridge and microwave, TV. The fridge has way too much ice build up inside the freezer. Shouldn't be over 1/8" inch of ice, let alone the 1/2" inch ice that's built up in there. That needs to be dealt with.

I like the cabinetry for the TV, fridge, and dresser drawers. Nicely laid out for a smaller space. Fridge just didn't have the freezer compartment that many mini fridges do have nowadays. I use those to keep Cryopacks or Ice-packs froze so they can work each day to keep food and beverage at a safe storing temp for the day. I would bet you many who stay here work, so it would be an important feature to have and since Castor still does not have a Subway (Consort and Provost does), I'm most likely hauling food in.

Place had everything I could need such as a one-door fridge with a freezer shelf so I can keep ice packs froze. Microwave and coffee maker great. Didn't have the handheld showerhead as pictured in the photos, I guess each room is different. Always a bummer when you look at the photos that had selling features of the room and they don't appear. No free breakfast due to COVID-19. Guess what? Coronation Motel had breakfast! Consort Sunrise gives out coupon to gas station. Should lower room rate for that. I could stay in Coronation for $50 AND free breakfast plus everything I had in this room at Grey Goose. $75 w/o breakfast is a bit steep for what is available out here. Would've negotiated either give me the Kitchenette, which I can get in Coronation for $75, or lower rate to $65. Good thing Co-op sells a bunch of breakfast and lunch food. Pillows are flat. Nonetheless, an average room but for well above average price based on what else is available from Consort to Castor. Not quite met my expectations but the room worked for me, but could have saved $25 by just moving 35 km closer to my work, and get free breakfast, which puts another $5-10 back in my pocket.

Good little motel to stop in. However the type of room I booked, was not the type of room I got. (We however checked in early and other rooms had not been cleaned yet so that is what was available)

It's a small town motel. It's older but the heat works and the tv works :) the breakfast closes early but the front desk will let you in if you ask nicely after 9. The people are very nice and friendly and know all the inside around town.
