Room was comfortable and spotless. Very impressed with all the little nice details that really made a difference; a personalized welcome letter from Manager, cozy bathrobes, a courtessy call from the front desk 30 min after check in to ensure I was confortable and found everything right, high quality bed sheets. Definitely an unexpected surprise, but a very good one. No doubt all staff members understand and are commited to deliver the real meaning of what hospitality means since you can see it in every item found in the room and interaction you have during your stay! Congratulations to them all.

This place is very impressive! The staff are very friendly, easy-going, and helpful. The price is very affordable, and the room is very clean and comfortable, and looks nice. It had all of our necessities and served us very well. We had some frozen meat and they very nicely offered freezer space for us. This is now our top choice as a place to stay when traveling through Calgary. Thanks!

Clean neat centrally located. Lots of extra touches in the room. The front desk gentleman who checked me in was super efficient and very pleasant to talk to. This place doesn't look like a stand out property from the outside. However it was very nice and it is obvious that the staff work to provide a superior product. The place was full so i think this review will sit amongst many positive reviews

Motel was clean and updated. Rooms had everything I needed. Floors were a bit squeaky, but not a big issue. Ethan on the front desk was very helpful and caring. I left two small things in my room and he called right away to let me know. His colleague was equally friendly and helpful when I went to pick up the things that I had left behind. A great location to get to Canmore in an hour without having to drive through Calgary.

Great location for getting quick access to highway 1 Banff and a really reasonable price. Booked a King bed room, but because of my dog we got a queen, no discount, no way around it. We stayed on the ground floor and could hear all the footsteps and conversations being had above us. Not the best for sleep. If you can put aside those couple things it’s great bang for your buck. If you can’t look elsewhere
