The motel manager is a complete raving psychopath, find another place to stay! First the basics. The room I had looked to be recently remodeled except for the very old lumpy, creaky, uncomfortable bed. It turned out not to be a problem for me, read on! I had been driving all day from Prince Rupert, it was almost 11 pm and I needed a place to sleep before continuing. I still had a 12 hour drive ahead of me. The Stampeder Motel was the first one I saw so I stopped in. The walkway to the office was a solid sheet of ice. I. Slipped and fell several times before finding a safe route to the door. I mentioned it to the manager while checking in but he didn't seem to want to be bothered. He did toss a piece of cardboard on the slickest spot after we were done. He explained the wifi and gave me the password. I realized the TV didn't work when I got to the room. I called the office but wasn't offered a fix or a room change. He did offer a refund for the room if I didn't want to stay. The phone fell apart during this and after putting it back together, decided to stay and use the wifi. Then I tried to log onto the wifi, I couldn't get any of the motel's routers to show up on my iPad or iPhone. I walked over to the office with my iPad to see if I could get some help. I had to knock and wait for a while before the manager came out. When he did his behavior was beyond belief. He began cursing and screaming at me before I even told him why I was there. I turned on my video recorder as I was astounded by his behavior and didn't know what else to do. Watch the video but be warned he uses salty language. At least you won't have to endure his horrible breath, spitting and physically poking your nose. https://youtu.be/6TZe9cImZtg I returned to the room, after giving up, to get some sleep. A few moments later he is pounding on my door. He barges into the room and demands to see my ID. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't hesitate to give my ID to a motel at check in. Under these circumstances, he wasn't getting anything from me. He refused to leave the room and I told him I was going to call the police. He said go ahead, so I did. When they showed up, they told him he didn't need my ID and if he bothered me in my room anymore they would arrest him. I got the feeling they had prior dealings with him. Needless to say, I didn't stay long!
