Our stay at Comfort Inn & Suites in Merritt B.C. was good. Staff were good. Only real complaint was the air conditioning was noisy in our room. I was going to tell the staff next morning , but forgot when we left. My main complaint was Hotels .com. It was Friday August 30. I had my wife check on line and it appeared there were hardly any rooms left in Merritt. We were tired, travelled all day from Red Deer AB going to Vancouver, so I asked my wife to book it as it was getting later in the day. Turns out , I'm guessing it was only about 30% to 40% booked from what I could tell how full the parking lot was.
Next day we went to Burnaby , did a short visit and turned around and headed back towards Alberta. It was late in the evening so we stopped in Merritt again. It was Saturday August 31 and the roads were busy. We stopped again at Comfort Inn & Suits and I thought we may not get a room as the parking lot was full. We did stop and the lady at the desk did fit us in, she was very pleasant and helpful. We did not book ahead this time, thus were billed directly from Comfort Inn & Suites. It was considerably cheaper than going through Hotels.com. In the future I will always check directly with the hotel first.
