Very good option for only 2 nights of our road trip. The TV did not work but we didn’t want to watch anything anyway. Hot showers and soap available! Town was great and there were shops in walking distance!

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.

The room lighting was quite low. The beds were comfortable. The TV remote didn't work very well. tThe room felt like it was slanted to the left as you walked to the bathroom. It did the job for one night. The staff was helpful and gave us a map of the area and different sites.

It is what it is. An older property with walkup to room doors and metal keys. It was clean, though and reasonably well maintained. Considerably less money than the chains.
