Excellent value for the money. Halfway point between Calgary and Vancouver, public beach nearby. If you are looking for an efficient stop over with clean beds and AC, and you aren't traveling with pets, the Happy Salmon is a great option!

Very clean, comfortable room! Check in was easy. Your typical older motel on the loud highway, but our room was in the back and quiet. Would stay again.

Stopped here for 1 night en route to Banff. We chose this motel due to convenience, value and good reviews. Despite its unassuming appearance we were pleasantly surprised with the room. It was immacularely clean and simply but tastefully appointed.. perfect room for respite on our journey.
