Room was immaculate! Bed was comfortable & I slept great. TV worked & my room has a small well equipped kitchenette. Though it may look like an old motel on the outside it was well looked after & maintained. I highly recommend

Clean, but dated motel in a busy area. Our rooms in the back were remarkably quiet. Beds were comfortable, towels were small and thin. Also no fan in the bathroom and there was mildew on the ceiling. Staff was very pleasant.

This is an older hotel that has had some updating done. This being said, it was very clean, quiet, safe and easy parking. There were lots of eating choices within walking distance. The staff were very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. This may be an older hotel, but compared to prices closer to Canmore and Banff it is very affordable!

We were lucky to be able to do an early checkin at 1:30 pm. That was very nice. Great location next to a park on the Bow River with awesome trails along the river.

It's More Than Meets the Eye
We have stayed here several times and always find it clean and comfortable with room to move around. It's not luxurious but it is very pleasant. We love the little kitchenette and usually eat in the room. This is a motel so you drive right up to the door and conveniently carry your items right in.
