What guests think

At Horizon Motel, reviews describe a very basic, older property with mixed upkeep, dated rooms, and limited amenities like no in room coffee, with several mentions of heat or AC issues.

Many guests found rooms clean enough for short stays, while others reported maintenance problems such as broken fixtures, weak outlets, or lingering smoke odors. Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating, though some disliked ID photocopying, a deposit requirement, or late checkout fees and occasional rudeness. Location is praised for easy access to highways, shops, restaurants, and a nearby vet, and several noted it was easy to find and quiet for the area. Expect a no frills stay that suits budget minded travellers who prioritize convenience over modern finishes.

The Motel is an old establishment and from the outside looks very old and outdated. I can only vouch for the room (# 1 ) that we stayed in for 3 nights. If you are looking for a place to sleep and shower this works.The room was very clean, no carpets, fresh bedding and the staff are friendly. Just a note there is no coffee in room or ice machines. There is a restaurant next door. I meet the manager and thanked her for the clean room. I would rate it 3 1/2 Stars based on location and age of the Motel.

Positives were that the bedding and linens were clean and that the wifi worked well. Negatives were that the toilet did not flush properly and was modified to decrease the amount of water. We had to find a bathroom out of our room. Barely any outlets worked or held a plug. Shower handle fell off when used. We turned the heat off but had to buy a fan because the place would not cool off. The place is in dire need of some renovations and updates.

The owner was a a very mean man. He stuck me in a corner by the stairs by the ppl he had living there. It was LOUD. It was so hot in the room (November) i had the window wide open and still could not cool off the room, therefore did not sleep. Asked for a late checkout and he came storming to my room pointing at the 11:00 check out. He was very very rude!! Wanted to charge me 20 bucks for a late check out so I just left, tired and disappointed. DO NOT Recommend staying there. Also, many loiterers hanging around the hotel, but I must say they were all very nice and pleasant compared to the owner.

-The staff were exceptional. The motel itself is somewhat run down, but you get what you pay for. As I was only staying to sleep for one night, it was okay. -The room was incredibly hot, in spite of the outside temperature (4), as the AC wasn't accessible or didn't work. Otherwise, the stay was fine, and the staff were exceptional. They more than made up for any building issues. -Given similar circumstances, I would stay again. (7/10)

Place needs a total renovation, furniture was old and has seen a lot of use, couch had a blanket covering it, ceilling was water stained and area's looked like they'd fall off. Bathtub had mold around it, evrything inside was rough, I didn't want to take my shoe's off, floor is old worn vinyl. It was $100 per night, for $5 more I could of stayed at a really nice place that I've stayed at before.

We asked if it had a fridge with freezer. They said yes. No freezer. We asked for late checkout. Costs $20 per hour. There was so much dust blocking the bathroom fan. The lamp shade was completely trashed. Empty beer cans all over outside. Very cheap motel. I believe people live there not just a short stay site

Everything worked and check-in was fast and staff efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Place was very quiet even though it is right on St. Albert Trail (Hwy2) and our room faced the highway!

The lock on the door was broken. While we were checking in our ID was photocopied, this felt very suspicious. Our room was a non-smoking room yet it stank like smoke. We had our stay refunded and went somewhere else.
