The price is very affordable compared to Banff and Camore.The location is excellent and transportation is convenient. So clean and stuff so friendly also bed hard enough for people who have back issues . It is definitely a very good choice in the summer tourist season.

This is a very basic older motel. The room was clean and simple. The exterior needs work. The lawn was 8-10 inches high and unmowed, making me hesitant when I drove up. I like independent local places. This one could be much nicer.

The Property is REALLY old, reminded me more of a row of barricks housing. Interior of the room also REALLY old and I could not figure out what was on top of the bed? It sure wasn’t a duvet but it wasn’t a bed spread either? All I know is that I did not want it near my skin. The place was just bleek. Considering the room rate, I was sorely disappointed. Buyer beware.

This was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights as we explored around the area. We knew there was not a breakfast provided which was fine. We planned ahead.
