Room clean. Bed comfortable. Staff excellent and friendly. Cold weather caused my room access to not work and they helped me quickly. Perfect stop for a place to sleep.
The dog friendly rooms are not ideal, it is cheap for a reason. But the staff working the front desk was amazing and friendly and completely understood why we did not want to stay the night.
Surprisingly clean and decent for the price. Bed, furnitures and amenities are in good condition, wifi is good and there are complimentary coffee as well.
Property was good and guests were friendly. Heard gunshots in the area though

An older property that has been updated. It's clean, was quiet. Nothing special but cheap, cheerful, and an affordable place to crash. I felt comfotable staying here the night when roads were bad. Not bad at all

Staff was friendly, my first room was really stinky, smoke and dirty smell..second room was much better but cigarette burn hole in the comforter, was good for a night I guess for the price.. nice kitchens in the rooms if you wanted a place to cook staying longer.
A very clean, economical motel with pleasant staff. I had reserved a queen kitchenette but ended up with just a queen regular room which was okay but I really needed a fridge with a freezer of which there was just a fridge, no freezer in it. Otherwise, a decent motel for the money.
Staffs were nice. Updates like the kitchenette with induction stove, counter and sink plus a regular size fridge was a bunos. We liked the wood flooring too. Suggestions: check the condition of the AC, it blows hot air, doesn't work its purpose on summer time, costs higher bills to the owner and inconvenience to your customers. Also change the old blue towels to white. Coffee maker and freebies like coffee, cream or sugar will be nice. Be true with what your signage says, none smoking.
It's a recommendable place to stay when in a budget.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel and it was fantastic before we got settled into our room we checked the beds and they were all clean, bug free. We enjoyed having our own fridge cooktop and big sink and there was a big countertop. The beds were okay slept very well. The TV is not smart so no Netflix or anything but we had a tablet that we watched Netflix on. There was only one big plate one small plate very little silverware and one big pot one small pot and one frying pan everything worked very well for us we would be staying at this place again.

The rooms were clean
Stayed 2 nights in our room only coffee for one morning not big deal. Signing outcould not find the I had pre paid for 2 rooms
Was very happy with the cleanliness of the room, the spaciousness of the room and the price.
I travel for work on a budget and have booked similarly priced hotels in red deer before to great disappointment and feeling unsafe and unclean. This motel didn’t have any of that and was the same price. This will be the motel I stay in in red deer moving forward.
Older and dirty looking place. Sheets and cover both had black grease looking stains. Mattress was older and sloped to the middle and sagged at bottom corner. Kitchenette seemed like an after thought add on. No kitchen linens were provided, no toaster. Chose to use paper plates and glad we brought our own pan as what was there for dishes and pans were dirty and very poor. Bathroom was good but old. Quiet overall.
