Very dirty, very stinky

Unfortunately this motel was the worst part of our drumheller trip. When we arrived our room hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. Cob webs, carpets not vacuumed, dirty windows, crusty tables. The room was absolutely infested with maple bugs. We understand that they are a seasonal pest that are hard to stop, we would have understood if it was 3 or 4, But it was 50+. The door seal was so bad the could and would come in the entire stay. I would wake up to bugs in my hair. If all of that wasn't bad enough the room had a terrible smell that even an entire bottle of febreze couldn't fix. All in all just spend the little bit extra and stay somewhere else.

Staff was unfriendly and not welcoming. First person at counter said nothing and called another person to serve me. That oerson took 5 more mi nutes to come and check me in. The outside grounds were not clean. The rooms were clean enough but they used very heavily sprayed room. Was very hard to breath evenbafter keeping the door open and fan on.

One thing we didn't know about at check-in was that we could have had a discount on our food bill at Whiffs restaurant . We only found out later after dining there. It would have been nice to have been told this.
