I spoke to the front desk person once and they were very nice. Housekeeping cleans your room every day, and do a good job. Everything worked great. It is an older motel in very good condition and well looked after, with reasonable pricing. I will stay at the Bow River Inn again.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was great to accommodate early check in. The room was ok, not a 5 star by any means..lol! But it was fine, over priced for what you got. The water was super hot though and the bed was comfy. Just the cleaning staff was obnoxiously loud at 8am in the room next to ours, and the worker guys staying there were also ridiculously loud! But over all it wasn’t the worst ever.
