This motel was basic but very good value. It was perfect for us to park right outside the door, carry our bags in, and reorganize prior to our backcountry hiking. Drumheller is a great place to visit. We loved the hike in Horse Thief Canyon, the Royal Tyrell Museum and we had a great breakfast at the attached/associated Whiffs.

Older motel that has made efforts to provide all possible amenities within that framework. Clean, comfortable and quiet. They charge for pets, which I do not like, but of course they are not alone in this. Otherwise friendly and accommodating. Would stay again.

We arrived very late so it took a few phone calls with the owner to get the key, but he gamely met us when we requested! Our room was absolutely awesome - full dino decor with glow in the dark stars on the ceilings. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want that in Drumheller, the dino-capital of Alberta? I appreciated having a second bedroom. Everything was small but serviceable, and surprisingly quiet for a motel. A fun place to spend the night.
