Ground level room for our bikes.
Too close to main highway so the noise was constant from 6:30 AM-8:00 PM.
Great location
Bien situé et très bon rapport qualité/prix
Bed was comfortable and rooms were clean.
Close to town
All was good
Not worth for money
Customer service was bad, security wise not good and too high price
Dicht bij Kootenay NP.
Niks.
It was very clean and in a good location. Less than 5 min from hot springs. Easy room access, they send a text with the door code, didn’t even have to check in at the office.
Krasne ubytovani. V uzasne lokalite. Pomer cena vs kvalita uzasny.
location, cleanliness, Clear instructions for self-check in
I loved the location! Very nice that they have a area for bbq and sitting! 1st and second floor parking right in front of your door, Very convenient to unload your vehicle!
There was no complementary breakfast. Our room 10 had a old ac that didn't push cold air at all but I seen that most rooms have a newer one.
Comfortable beds
BBQ
Air conditioning didn’t work tv remote never worked the hotel was in need of upgrades
Motel bien situé, cependant les horaires d'ouverture de l'accueil sont restreintes. Patience pour récupérer les clés. Clés mises dans la boite aux lettres lors du départ car ouverture de l'accueil fermée.
Un peu bruyant par rapport à la chambre voisine.
View, venue, price.
A little outdated
location, helpfulness of the staff across the street at Appletree. The room was very clean and had plenty of towels. the price was great.
plug in kitchen area not working. loud air conditioner. sounded like a washing machine spinning too hard. lighting was harsh and not set up right for both beds. Plugs for phones and laptop and coffeemaker awkward. did not know that office was closed and had to go across the street to check in. Also, code for door did not work so we had to go back and forth across the street to get help.
Needed a lamp otherwise okay
Clean, smelled good. Beds warm and comfortable. Need grab bars in bathroom.
Needs grab bars in bathroom.
The staff was friendly, efficient and helpful. She provided advice for places to eat and a towel for the hot springs so that I wouldn't need to rent a towel. They also provide small bars of soap and packets of shampoo (which I like better than dispensers of body wash.)
The parking lot and grounds could use a little work, but it's not something that matters too much to me.
Good price if want to somewhere clean to stay.
You had to go to a different place to register.
It was quiet and rooms were sufficient for stay.
One of the beds matteress was rock hard, the other too soft
Perfect for a packed weekend of exploring the Valley and ending the days at the Hot Springs
A few features are dated and awaiting reno/repairs. (The window screen kept popping out) But for what we needed it was fine.
Bed was comfortable and the location was good with access to restaurants and the highway.
The place is old and tired and is in need of an overhaul. Some electrical plugs did not work and the outside planters are falling apart. Could use a painting and referbishing. Has required new owners.
quiet, economy, beauty environment
There was no breakfast.
Our family stayed at the motel 9 or 10 years ago and it was much better back then. The property this time looks almost deserted. No flowers in the flower boxs and the office is closed.
Easy access and good location on route. Parking in front of our door…self check-in and out.
Super thin walls. Could clearly hear bathroom noises in the night.
Value for money
No facilities
Location
No plates and cutlery in the room
Good room The BBQ is clean and free to use. Made some good bacon on it
Check in at other hotel, cleck was away for more than half an hour, had to wait for my checkin outside
Room was comfortable for the price
Wasn't offered a breakfast coupon if there was and a few outlets didn't work in the room
Convenient and accessible place to stay. Staffs are friendly. Good for weekends stay cations and for those travellers. Affordable $.👍🏻
Price and the backyard bbq
Not sound proof, not accessible to the management on site, electrical issue and the AC is so loud, plus the roof gutter is too old as rain water is splashing into our room.
Location
Property has parking to the doorstep. Has a fridge , microwave and air conditioner.
The floor wa dirty. Needed a good mop for sure. There were some kind of bugs crawling on the bed walls, bathroom. There were mosquitoes in the room too. Toiletries could be better for the price they charge per night. Air conditioning too long time to cool. The property is nice but definitely needs some upgrades compared to the prices charged. We stayed for 2 nights and expected room to be cleaned when we put the sign outside to clean but it wasn’t. We had to go and dump the garbage ourselves.
Had to check-in at motel across the street-inconvenient. No towel bars or hooks in bathroom. Electric plug in vanity beside bathroom not working. Worn light switch in vanity beside bathroom. A/C wouldn't come on right away when set.
Location
Everything was fine, nice cozy room, perfect location and lovely breakfast at Screamers.
No breakfast offered.
Couldn't check on before 4. We were there at 3.
The hotel did not have its own breakfast facilities. Instead, they provided coupons for a free breakfast at a local cafe called Screamers. There were 3 options to choose from for breakfast and the coupon included coffee or juice.
Supper
Value
Hard for us to use the breakfast as we left early to get to Banff area ski resorts.
Staff is good and friendly
Room Small and so cold
Beautiful location with the little park right across the road. Breakfast was ok
Didnt like the upstairs bathroom right above the bed area of us on ground floor. Early morning traffic awoke me but we were on the road side so can be expected
le petit déjeuner dans le centre était sympathique
Nous avons du trouver où aller pour faire le check in et il fallait aller dans un autre hôtel en face de la rue. Cependant attention, il faut demander un ticket pour le petit déjeuner car ils ne le donnent pas directement
La chambre grande et un très bon lit . Également la cafetière le micro onde le frigo .
La Check in à faire dans un autre motel . Faut juste savoir qu il n y a personne pour vous recevoir à l hôtel et le petit déjeuner doit se prendre dans un café sur la route plus loin mais c était un bel endroit pour le petit déjeuner
The place was just ok.
I had to walk to another motel to check in. I had to kill 5 bugs in the room in less than 1 day. We do not leave the door open so I have no idea where the bugs were coming from.
The room was very clean. Liked that there were no carpets. We were able to adjust heat.
Breakfast was okay but little choice. Wish a dresser had been available to store clothes.
Clean room with easy check in and good air conditioning
Good location. Functional.
No breakfast. Awkward door handle; did not open easily with key.
Affordable. Great check in / checkout. Housekeeping was so nice. Beds were comfy. Rooms were clean and water was hot.
Convenient close to everything.
Clean room, accommodating staff.
Poor maintenance.
Location was great and comfortable for an older Motel was well kept and clean. Priced right.
Check in had to walk down the street to another facility to check in. Minor inconvenience.
Terribly rude staff. Made us walk back across the highway to get breakfast vouchers that they forgot to give us, then refused two children in our group breakfast vouchers. Dog poop everywhere.
Nice hotel , the only think what i don’t liked was the old bathroom and they had no hair dryer. Otherwise was all good .
Great value, nice atmosphere at a modest motel with character, big rooms. The balcony with a view was a real plus. Enjoyed the included breakfast at a really cute nearby cafe.
Thanks 👍
