What guests think

Across many reviews of TC Motel, guests describe generally clean, basic rooms and friendly service at budget prices, while noting that check-in and, at times, the actual stay may occur at the EconoLodge property across the street.

Several reviews highlight comfortable beds, a solid continental breakfast, and access to a pool, hot tub, fitness room, and convenient parking. Critiques include dated or worn TC Motel rooms with maintenance issues, occasional unpleasant odors, and one report of bed bugs. Location is described as convenient by some, though a couple of reviewers expressed safety concerns about the area. Overall, expect a budget stay with variable room quality.

The room was spotless upon check in and cleaning staff returned every morning and did a great job. The manager had upgraded my room to kitchenette free of charge and put me on the econolodge side as well which was great, and the continental breakfast every morning was good. My kids were happy there was a pool and hot tub and I was glad there was also a fitness room. All the staff were very kind and courteous and always willing to answer questions or help in any way possible. We had a really nice stay.

The pool was very nice, clean and warm. The gentleman who checked us in at the front desk was absolutely fantastic, and even went out of his way to help us out with some toothpaste. Our room was very cosy and tidy. Will definitely come again!

If you’re just looking for a place to stay overnight this place is fine. It’s old but clean. The rooms are small but if you’re there to stay the night it’s fine. This isn’t a luxury hotel it’s a clean basic room.

We stayed there two times, one week apart. The first time we were given a room at the EconoLodge and it was great. No complaints at all! The second time we were given a room at the TC motel across the street. Although the bed and bathroom were very clean, there were many issues. Filthy material on the chairs and lampshade. A pile (not even folded) of extra linens left on the kitchen area counter and in the sink. No toilet paper in the bathroom, but found it in a bag on the counter. No front panel to the stove. We were moved to a room at the EconoLodge after they could not get the shower curtain rod fixed (it was not in place when we arrived). The staff was great, though. They just need to give the TC motel rooms some serious TLC.

Note on office door said to register at Econo Lodge across the street. Not a huge deal but a bit of a pain. They had been doing some updates to the room. When we walked in it smelled like urine. There was an old stove that didn't look in the best of condition with pots and dishes in the cupboards and full size fridge. The Air Conditioner worked but had a very noisy fan. For what we paid which was cheap so did the job for the night.

We were given a room across the street in the Econo Lodge. We were extremely impressed with this property considering the price we paid. It was very clean and quiet. Bob helped us with check-in and was very pleasant. I wasn't expecting much for breakfast, considering the price, but there were eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, waffles, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

We actually didn’t stay in the TC Motel. You have to go check in at the EconoLodge across the street, and I asked about a cot for our 5th person. They were very friendly and said the TC Motel didn’t have cots but he’d just put us in a room at the EconoLodge. We ended up getting a huge room with a full kitchen (stove, full-size fridge, microwave, pots and utensils, kitchen sink, etc.), 2 Queen beds and a couch for the same price as our TC booking. The decor is dated, but everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The continental breakfast was extensive and the staff service was excellent. I will seek the EconoLodge out if I’m staying in Medicine Hat again.

The check-in staff couldn't find my reservation at first and told me they didn't have a room at TC Motel and had me stay at Econo Lodge instead. I didn't like to be up on the second floor having to haul all my luggage up there. Also the water in the shower was not hot enough. I really needed a hot shower at the end of the day, but it was so cold I could hardly stand it.

Was terrible staying here. There was a lot of drug addicts roaming the hallways 24 hours a day and throughout the parking lot there were drug deals going on. The staff was very rude and inconsiderate. The owner refuses to pay back the deposit based on there being stains on the carpet. I was there all of 2 days and slept there. One night my shower was broken. I could not use the bathtub or the shower for the two days I was there. They do everything they can to keep your deposit and then if you try and fight back they will call the police on you and try and have you arrested terrible place to stay

The property was not the one we originally booked upon arrival we were met with a note saying to cross street to different hotel for booking, all under same ownership I conclude they are same ownership group. The area I would not leave my wife alone at without concern. Never even looked inside and ate the cost of cancel rather than staying. I will say the staff I spoke to at the property we were directed to were fine and polite regardless
