It was an excellent all around stay for an excellent price. The only change I would make another time would be to request a first floor room. As seniors, it was a slight inconvenience to carry luggage up the stairs.

The tub drain was clogged. No elevator. Carrying luggages up the stairs might be hard for older guests. Otherwise it was a good hotel for its price.

Room was large, clean and in order. Staff was excellent. Only thing that stood out was this is a two story motel.... but no elevator. This did not affect us in the least, just found it odd.

The room was clean and the perfect temperature. There was a long walk to get to the room so if you have mobility issues, you should ask for a room closer to the front. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

The absolute worst experience I've ever had. Everything was dirty or moldy in the shower, dogs barking all hours of the night, burn holes in the towels and comforter. The floor was gross the toilet was gross. I got some allergic reaction to the bed and 12 hours later my eyes are still red and puffy. The pool was chained off and had stuff floating in it and it was not a good color. I tried to take this to the front desk clerk when I checked out, he didn't even have any clue of why I was checking out most people don't he said, and he had no idea what I was saying he didn't understand at all

When we were on our way to the hotel at 10pm we received a call from the hotel telling us the room we booked (with the jetted tub) was no longer available. They offered us a double room at a reduced rate ($10 cheaper) instead. Which wouldn't have been so bad if we hadn't had to walk the whole length of the property AND up a flight of stairs carrying our luggage and valuables from our car. Only to arrive to an unclean non-smoking room with cigarette burns on the carpet, in the tub and on the toilet seat. All in all the stay was disappointing.

The room is much better than what I had expected for the price. My preference for beds is soft, theirs are not, so if your preference is a firm bed you’ll be delighted. There are no fridges so don’t come expecting one. The staff were incredibly polite, personable, and helpful. The room was clean too.

Hotel was wonderful and desk staff were so helpful and kind. My only issue was the highway noise, not sure if it’s bad throughout the property, we were in room 2003 and could hear the highway LOUD all night. So didn’t get a lot of sleep. Otherwise this is a good hotel and would stay again requesting to stay on the back side of property :)

I booked a room on hotels.ca for $74.70 + $6.73 for a total of $81.43 on March 11. On March 14 at check-in I was charged $98 plus $8.82 levy + gst for a total of $106.82. I am not impressed. I was told increasing the room rates was standard practise by the woman working the desk on Saturday morning. I explained I had pre-booked the room. She said you move people to more expensive rooms sometimes and there was nothing she could do. I will make it my mission in life to bad-mouth your motel at every event and market I attend in Red Deer (40+ events per year). I hope it was worth the $25 you stole from me and my small business.

They seem to give my room to someone on higher prices. They were deliberately rejecting transactions on my card and made up story that my card is not working and therefore can't give me the room. I never come access such a situation where staff is unprofessional and deceiving the customer. I used the same card dame day for another booking with out any problem. I will strongly recommend that never ever book room with them.
