A small motel in mid-town Lethbridge suited our needs and the price was right. In any accommodation, a competent bed and a clean room are the most important. Chinook does this well. It is an old building, and could use some maintenance, but everything works. The front desk clerk at the nearby Ramada is cheerful and competent. If this type of accommodation suits you, then i recommend it.

The room was disgustingly dirty. Took pictures and took a list over to front desk and said how bad the room was. We should have had a big discount on the room. But unfortunately staff doesnt care. You should be ashamed to be renting out these rooms.

Need credit card. Don’t pay online.

It didn’t state anywhere that we’d need a credit card upon check-in. We paid online and got to the motel and couldn’t even stay. It also didn’t state anywhere that you have to check in at the hotel beside here, the Ramada I think.

Horrible smell

The tobacco smell inside the room was unbearable. It was a celan room, but for a non-smoker it would be a torture.
