Stopped here for 1 night en route to Banff. We chose this motel due to convenience, value and good reviews. Despite its unassuming appearance we were pleasantly surprised with the room. It was immacularely clean and simply but tastefully appointed.. perfect room for respite on our journey.

The room was so clean and smelt fresh. It was bigger than expected, with a separate bedroom which was a nice surprise. The room was very quiet, we didn't notice any road noise or hear our neighbours at all. The location was perfect! It's a quick 5 minute drive to Canoe Beach, which was such a great beach to watch the sunset and swim in the lake after a long hot day of driving. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in the area.

We stayed for one night. The location is excellent. While the building looks a bit dated from the outside, the room has been renovated and was comfortable, spacious, and clean. The bed was a little too soft for our preference, but overall, we had a pleasant stay. Free Wi-Fi and on-site parking were definitely a plus.

Pleasant surprise! Clean, comfortable bed and well kept. Good price. The lady at check-in was really friendly and polite. It is a small, older motel but has been tastefully upgraded and maintained.
