Parkside Inn
An indoor play area and Korean menu near an ice rink
About this stay
The indoor play area is the standout for families here, giving kids somewhere to burn energy that doesn't depend on the weather outside. The restaurant's Korean menu is a genuine change from the American and Italian options that dominate the rest of Grande Prairie's hotel dining, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices built in from the start. Rooms carry a kitchenette, a work desk and free WiFi, and the sun terrace gives the property an outdoor seating option once the weather cooperates. Grande Prairie Airport sits six kilometres away, and an ice-skating rink nearby rounds out the winter options within easy reach. Two on-site restaurants mean the Korean menu is only one of the choices on a longer stay.
- Indoor play area
- Sun terrace
- Kitchenette rooms
- Korean restaurant
Our take
This suits families with young kids who want an indoor play area on rainy or freezing days, plus anyone wanting a genuine change from the usual hotel-restaurant menu. Couples looking for a quieter, adults-focused stay should consider the Westport Inn or Anavada Inn instead, since the play area brings a livelier family crowd through the lobby.
- ✓Use the indoor play area during the mid-afternoon lull rather than right after check-in, it tends to be quieter then.
- ✓Try the Korean menu over the standard hotel breakfast at least once, it's genuinely different from the rest of Grande Prairie.
- ✓Book a kitchenette room if staying more than two nights, it cuts down on repeat restaurant visits with a family.
Why we love it

Why guests love itAn indoor play area is the main asset of the Parkside Inn for young children, and the sun terrace adds outdoor space in good weather. Rooms have a kitchenette and a work desk, and the family-friendly restaurant serves Korean food with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Free private parking makes a driving trip easy, and the airport is six kilometres away. The 7.3 score from 214 reviews is modest.
