Western Budget Motel #3 Whitecourt

What guests think

At Western Budget Motel #3 Whitecourt, travellers consistently note clean, spacious rooms with kitchenettes, fireplaces, friendly and accommodating staff, and good value, while also reporting firm or uncomfortable beds, dated decor, small TVs, and a frequently closed pool.

Guests appreciate quiet, roomy layouts and in room jetted tubs or bunk bed options, but several mention maintenance issues like faulty air conditioning, key cards, bathroom fans, and slow hot water. Breakfast is praised for hot items by many, though a few found it basic or poorly managed, with occasional service lapses and a lack of high chairs. Location is convenient near the highway and nearby eateries, though one reviewer found the property hard to locate. Expect solid value and space over polish, with variable amenities.

The room is spacious. Easy access to the highway. The pool has been drained for repairs. I was charged a pet fee for my service dog. (Service dogs are to be free!) The door key works intermittently. Not enough pillows for the bed. No ice machine!

The pet green space was great. However a $25 per night charge when I would be surprised if ALL the bedding was changed between guests, or a deep cleaning of the carpets. I get a conveneince charge, but it should be a one time fee. The pool was tiny, and was closed between 11-1 and then closed for the night at 9pm. No hot tub, either. The bathroom fan in our room was broken, so it stayed extremely humid in the room. Also, it took about 5 minutes (not an exaggeration) for the water to get hot in the shower. Huge waste of water. Charging for dishes not washed is also silly. I've never seen this before. Also, it does not create standards to be met for future guests checking in expecting clean dishes. Overall, though, for $89 a night, it was affordable and met our basic needs. The front desk people were very friendly. The location was very convenient.

Great hotel - blankets a little thin but the in room fireplace makes up for that. Pool is closed, which we were unaware - spoke with the front desk manager and she was amazing! Gave us half the money for a family pass to swim at the large leisure center in town. We will be back in the future (Single mom of 3 small children)

The place itself was clean and tidy. Love the feature of the kitchenettes in the room. The coffee and juice were good but the breakfast was less than appetizing. As well as the manager of the Motel, complaining of laughter and just an unpleasant human being. Big sign outside advertising POOL OPEN when in fact it’s closed all summer long. If you need a quick place to stay, this is it. But don’t count on superior hospitality.

Rooms were spacious and clean and affordable. Bed was a on the firm side with lovely out dated bedding. The touch lamps were fun. The staff are set in old school ways. Pool states open but has been closed for what seems like a very long time with no intention of opening again. Breakfast lady was straight up rude, not helpful, pretty much ready to pack up for breakfast at 8:50 even though it runs till 9:30. Pretty much talks down to anyone around her. This was very off putting.

-On check-in we were told our reservation did not exist despite having given my last name 5 times to both the clerk and night manager. I even showed the confirmed booking on my phone to which I was told it was a scam. Turns out they were looking for first names when the convention is always last names. Negligent and unprofessional, to say the least. -The door to the room was askew and would not close shut by itself. -On day two we had to ask for new towels as housekeeping neglected to leave us some despute being asked. I had to go to the front desk and ask for replacements. -Jams and marmalades were super hard and would not spread. Juices were room temperature, not enough boiled eggs stocked and coffee cups were thin and very small. Apples and oranges were old and bruised. Sugar almost never available. The so-called free breakfast was entirely worthless. I have stayed there once before in 2018 and things were much better then, but now it has gone down. The pool was closed both times.
