Bugs and dirty sheets. I went immediately to the office to ask for a refund. I was told that, since I booked through Expedia, I had to contact them. We left and spent the night somewhere else. I contacted Expedia but their staff was not able to get in touch with Badland, and therefore no refund. DO not stay at Badland. It is really Bad.

It was nice to find out upon arrival that we got upgraded to a suite. It gave us a kitchenette and a full fridge/freezer for our ice packs and a bed for each of our kids, but it was on a second level with a narrow staircase so moving things up/down was tricky. The carpet looked dirty and the building in general looked quite old. We took comfort in knowing we'd only spent one night here and the price was affordable. The location was conveniently north of the Michichi Creek, away from the busy-ness of downtown Drumheller and easy to head up to the museum in the morning.

Nice room, clean. However there was alot of (construction) garbage just lying around the property. Also didn't like that other guest could smoke right outside of your doorway. There should have been a designated smoking area so that every time I opened tthe door I didn't have smoke coming into the room. Bathroom caulking needs redoing

Clean but dated. Exactly what I expected for the location, age and price. They just need to take out the ancient carpets and install some laminate, and update the mattresses. Typical motel vibes. Very quiet. Windows open easily and let in a great cross breeze, and our doors locked securely. I'd stay here again, especially if they got firmer mattresses.

Absolutely beautiful view of the badlands from our suite door! Staff was really nice, room was super clean and well stocked. At one point we accidentally locked ourself out of the room and even though it was after office hours, someone came and let us back in really quickly and was so cool about it..thanks again we loved our stay!!

Conveniently located a short drive from the Royal Tyrell Museum and an easy 1km walk into the Drumheller town, passing the giant dinosaur and fossil shops. The room itself was dated and the floors grubby, but the beds were clean and the unit was spacious. We were travelling with an elderly family member and she struggled to walk up the stairs to the unit. Our downstairs and next door neighbours were very loud. Would recommend the WHIFS restaurant attached to the motel- tasty breakfast with decent portion sizes and a cute train that goes around the room.

The bed felt like it was on a base of jello. We were not told, but if you don't specifically request housekeeping, you won't get it. We were a family of 3, and reserved as a family of 3, but were only left 2 towels, and 2 coffee pouches in the room. There were no refills for the second day we were there. disappointing.
