    Air conditioner did not work There was no cotact phone number to discuss issues. I found it a little unsettling that our room was open with anyone having access to it before we got there to lock it. But there wasn't any issues other than no air-conditioning.

    Location was good. Price was great and the bed was comfortable

    There was a musty smell in the room, which I think was likely from the carpet. Also, we couldn’t find the password for the Wi-Fi because the paper had fallen on the floor behind the night table. I later emailed the manager and he told me where it was. I didn’t ask, but I got the impression that “late checkouts” were not available.

    The room was nice and big, and it had lots of windows for good ventilation. And there was a heater in the bathroom that you turn on, and also window in the bathroom (which was good since there was no fan). The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We got in about 20-25 minutes later than I said we would and the manager had left a note on the front door of the office for me, which was nice. I had said that we would get there between 7 pm- 8 PM.

    Good enough for a place to sleep a couple of nights. Might look into other options next time we are.

    It’s an old motel and could definitely use an update or a deep clean. They clearly try to keep it clean, but after a point these old buildings just always feel dirty. Beds were not very comfy.

    Location was nice. I like having separate bedrooms.

    Wished there was a tv tray or some kind of table to eat at. Didn't like that it was hot and no fan. Could open the window but it didn't shut all the way unless you went outside to push it closed fully. While bed was good the pillows were not. Room faced Hwy 1 and could get loud from traffic.

    Easy to find. Room had microwave and mini fridge (fridge needed to be turned on). Tv was good. Wifi worked well. Toiletries were nice. Bed was decent for a motel.

    All is above

    We booked what we thought was a kitchenette. I don't believe that is what we got . We have stayed there several times in the past and was more than satisfied with the room. This time we brought food to prepare but it was difficult as we did not even have cutlery or dishes. A toaster would have been nice, also. If we come back to the area again, we will probably stay there again but make sure we got what we requested.

    The property was cleaning and though no one was in the office for us to check, a Joe note was sent to me indicating what room was open and ready for us. The room has the typical ‘stuck in the 70s and 80s’ look or should I rather say “charm”. It was a very welcoming place.

    Needs some serious updating. Couldn’t use the freezer in the refrigerator because the door was off and it was full of ice. Beds were very hard to sleep on and some of the pillows were so lumpy. They should’ve been thrown away a long time ago.

    Close to everything

    Good for the money we pay. I understand this is what we get for what we pay.

    I like the Location, convenient for me to go to Waterton National park. This town has good food outlets nearby the Motel. Motel rooms are bigger than the usual hotels. Value for the money.

    A pointer is to perhaps update the A/C system and consider extra fans if newer A/C system is not viable. The garden/grass between the rooms should also be kept a bit more tidy - it is quite overgrown and kind of makes it a breeding ground for rats and/or snakes .

    The Manager is an absolute gem! Helpful and extremely friendly.
