Message From Dale Gagne

General Manager of BEST WESTERN Pembroke Inn & Conference Centre

The Best Western Pembroke Inn & Conference Centre Team survived Sabstock 6! This year proved to be the best yet, with great weather, amazing music, friendly people and our Ottawa Valley Charm shining through.

From Honeymooon Suite on Friday night, April Wine on Saturday, Harper & the Midwest Kind on Sunday and of course SAB & the Family Band, every day was filled with electric performances that thrilled the crowds. We made some great new friends and chatted with old ones at the Best Western booth all weekend long. We have been a part of this festival since day one, and look forward to following that tradition year after year as a Main Stage Sponsor and Festival Partner.

We decided to have a pie throwing contest. Here are some of the images from that day where our executive chef of Westwinds Restaurant and the General Manager of the hotel seemed to be prime targets of the pie throwers.Read More »FUNDRAISER: Helping Wendy Reach Her Goal for The Special Olympics

Life has so many wonderful surprises to offer. If you’ve stayed at Best Western Pembroke Inn & Conference you may have noticed the friendly staff and small town setting. About a year ago The Ottawa Valley’s largest hotel, fitness centre and conference facility was purchased by new owners. The new owners immediately observed the dedication of staff was at the heart of the small town friendly atmosphere.

The new owners and staff collaborated to formulate a pool remodeling strategy that would minimize any inconvenience to hotel guests. With the project in full swing we began remodeling the indoor pool. Below you will find a summary of what to expect in the future for the indoor swimming area.Read More »Swimming Area Make-Over
