The room was a good size and had a fridge and Keurig machine. The bathroom was very small but did have a shower. The room was clean and well maintained. However, the room was noisy due to footsteps above us. Luckily the motel provided us ear plugs.

Great hotel for the price with phenomenal staff!

This hotel was a nice little surprise. I took my 70 something mother to Calgary to help my daughter move. The staff is phenomenal. We stayed there last week and the front desk clerk, I really wish I could remember his name it was Anthony or Ethan or something like that and I am so sorry that I missed that up, but he was amazing and friendly and thoroughly up front about our room. We had a nice quiet room on the main level because my mother has mobility issues. He explained that because it's such an old Motel we may hear the people above us walking around. We certainly did so if you're staying here I recommend you stay on the top floor but please be mindful that there are people underneath you. The beds were fine. People have to remember you're not staying at a Westin and not paying Westin prices. Do not expect the pillow top mattresses that you usually get. The room was extremely clean and you are provided bathrobes. There is also a great working mini fridge and a Keurig coffee maker. I recommend this hotel if you aren't looking for anything fancy.

Front desk staff very friendly. Room very clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. No breakfast offered. Limited parking. Blackout curtains worked very well. Bathroom awkward - light outside the toilet with the fan automatically attached and a glass door that squeaked, all of which made it difficult to use in the middle of the night without waking others in your room. Also, we were on a bottom floor and we heard footsteps and distinctive voices from above. I would recommend staying in a top floor for that reason.
