The room is very clean and lovely. The owner of the motel is very friendly and welcoming. The small things really mattered. For example, he asked to take off my shoes before entering the room, which I normally do anyway, but this meant he cares for the cleanliness and maintenance of his rooms. The room was also very affordable, has charming details, and I am very delighted. Highly recommended!

Kindness

After all the confusion caused by myself booking the wrong day with Expedia, the owner/ manager patiently helped me clear that up. He helped my husband and me to our room, explaining everything. And then, he had fresh coffee ready in the office in the early morning. We highly recommend staying here!

This is one of the older motels in town that has been beautifully renovated. Small kitchenettes, new fridges, new bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The new owners are very friendly and willing to please their customers.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place seems to have some recent upgrades. The kitchenette wasn’t necessary for my stay, but I can see how it would be handy especially for longer stays. One drawback of staying in a motel where people are preparing food, is there can be lingering food smells. It wasn’t unpleasant though.

Riverside Motel was EXCELLENT. I had read reviews prior to booking, and they were all correct. First off, the staff was very friendly, and accommodating. The motel has access right off the highway, for easy access. Plus, the room we stayed in had a kitchenette, equipped with dishes, and cooking appliances to make the stay feel more like home. My only negative critique, believe it or not, was that the pillows were a bit hard. But thats something I can plan for when I book with them again. Great job, Riverside Motel. I will be recommending you to everyone I know planning a stay in Medicine Hat
