friendly helpful staff
musty room, especially ante-room
It felt safe Nancy was very helpful in getting us a room when everything was booked full. It was also nice to have good shampoo and conditioners in the shower.
There was 3 of us travelling together and there was only 2 towels in the room
Personne ne parlais français
The only positive things I can say about our stay are that the bed linen and bathroom were clean. And comfortable beds.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was not comfortable. The bathroom drain was clogged, and the pillows smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, which was especially unpleasant. Overall, the room did not feel clean or welcoming, and we did not feel particularly comfortable or safe staying here. We understand that this is a budget hotel, but basic cleanliness, maintenance, and a smoke-free sleeping environment should still be expected. Unfortunately, we would not choose to stay here again.
Not enough blankets on the bed
Very clean and comfortable beds.
Rooms could use a refreshing. The cleaning staff used some sort of perfume to freshen the room and I’m allergic to synthetic scents.
Personnels très sympa Malheureusement le motel est vieillot et pas de première fraîcheur Le petit déjeuner est succinct
The location... and I guess u get what u pay for... soooooooi
I paid for a suite... granted I made a mistake on the booking date... so they gave me a standard room 2 dbl beds... promised me my suite for saturday night that I had originally paid for... that did not happen... different worker didn't know wtf was going on... so back to the standard dbl beds... Also the washroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned before we got there... toilet paper on the floor, someone else's used soap bar still in the tub, hair in the tub... Ac was basically just white noise as it barely blew any cold air out... and it was leaking... looked like they knew and decided to just put the shoe mat under it to pick up the water... fire hazard now that I think about it... hahahaha...
no breakfast
could not close bathroom door picture online looks nothing like the room door struggled to lock
Free breakfast and low price, pet friendly
I don’t like to pay pet fee in extra, but other than that, nothing I didn’t like
Absolutely nothing to like there. It was a terrible place to be it smelled very bad and dirty with lots of clutter outside other rooms and noisy so I canceled the room saying I couldn’t stay because of my allergies so I canceled and checked out but they wouldn’t give my refund The number they gave to call would not answer so I went back into the office told them to cancel they said no they can’t. So we left the property without a room and no refund .
Everything
Le lit est bon et beaucoup d’eau chaude, ces propres.
L’extérieur aurait besoin un peu d’amour
Location
Clean
Near the road
Floor wasn’t clean, and bathroom had some hairs
Reception was friendly. Understood that we won't stay in their facility.
Room not done, dirty, garbage on the floor and more. Opened the room door a decided not to stay.
As soon as we got there we had to cancel our lengthy stay. The front desk lady was kind enough to accept the cancellation at no charge.
First hitting the parking lot, we knew something was off. The parking lot had belongings piled outside multiple doors, clearly from long‑term tenants, and it gave the place a rundown feel. None of this was shown in the photos. The pictures online looked bright, clean, and welcoming, but the actual hotel was the complete opposite. It felt misrepresented, neglected, and uncomfortable to stay in.
The girl at the front was pleasant, Quick and efficient. Our TV didn't work and she had it fixed within 10 minutes. For our 1 night stopover, it was perfect!
Nothing...all good
Tv was unusable...no apps for us. We are old-school
Terrible everything. Room was next to people with garbage thrown into the parking lot. Incredibly unsafe, tv Im room still has wrapping. People staying monthly next to you. Smell was terrible. Worst hotel I have ever been in
Had issues with the tv, got assess once then wouldn’t work again. Physical appearance not appealing.
Quiet
All good
Its convenient.
Starting to decline in standard.
I travel for work and frequent a lot of motels. This motel was awful, Exceptionally dirty room. Stain left in the toilet bowel from previous occupant that wasn’t removed, urine stains around the toilet, an old lid from a soft drink was left in the garbage, some type of residue on the night stand, the room was muggy and stunk.
spacious room.. neat and clean
the phone was not functioning.. i am trying to order some food
availability- only place in cochrane not sold out
it looks like a refugee camp you see on TV - run down and seems like people live their full time. had issues with people sitting out front of rooms in dark. would never take a family to this place.
Everything
Nothing
Excellent customer service
Well, I honestly can’t provide an opinion because I wasn’t given the opportunity to. They took a bad booking and decided to charge me for it and ran with it
Not no idea wasn’t even in the same province
Déjeuner tres, tres de base.
The breakfast wasn't as good as photos There were no eggs, you had to ask for coffee it wasn't on the table The room smelled funny I don't recommend it at all
Dirty, people living in the motel full time, very chaotic. No hot water had to wait almost three hours to go to bed waiting for them to fix the hot water.
How about this…. There wasn’t a thing I enjoyed about this place.
Close to the store
The room i was staying in was good but the room next to me was noisy all night slept 5 hours
Le prix
Vieux, désuet, manque beaucoup d amour dans les chambres.
Flexible.
Friendly staff
All good
Few breakfast choices. There were missing floor tiles in the bathroom. Faucet in kitchen sink did not work. The parking lot and steps were extremely icy and dangerous. We left after one night although we booked for 2.
Close to gas station
Too hot
Shampoo and conditioner not stocked. Dirty room and snow not cleared from walkways.
Right by the highway
Smelt pretty bad in there, wasn’t dirty but definitely not clean enough, bed sheets were so smelly and the carpet dirty. Very dated
Location, great access to the OFSC trails.
Old dirty stained mattress’s ..
Staff was friendly, we got clean towels every day and it was overall clean and tidy
The room was a little too warm but we fixed that. And small window in the bathroom didn't have a curtain but we figured that out as well.
Price
Parking - rooms require updating
Breakfast was bussing rooms were nice.
The room location room 155 internet was very slow.
Value for my money ...allowed the dog for a fee, bed was comfortable and room was clean
Staff tending breakfast wasn't overly friendly, tv didnt work properly....rooms need some updating
Clean and affordable
Clean and quiet
Location
Run down and only received breakfast on one of the three days
Had restaurant on site. Handy since a massive storm hit and the whole.town shut down.
It took quite a long time for the plow to come. I had to abandon my car and hitch a ride with another guest to make my train. Then had to walk in winter weather back to my hotel room...
