Mikayla, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, price was good and it was close to downtown canmore to walk for breakfast and dinners. Only complaint was parking at night on weekends with the bar being busy. We had to park across the street on private property as we could not get a space in parking lot.
tina, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

It has convenient location but the price is very high for the simplicity of the property. No glasses for beverages. Plastic caps in wash area, paper caps for coffee - cheap.

Brenda, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Older motel, but good value for money paid. Very clean, very good staff, bar attached serves great food.
Aaron, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was a bit concerned by the outside look of the hotel, but it turned out to be a very comfortable stay. Big king bed, renovated bathroom, and one of the most amazing views I've had from any hotel room, with a full view of the mountains. Yes, you could hear the band at night - as they warned - but it was far from loud, and we had no trouble sleeping through it. Perfect location right at the entrance to the main pedestrian street, alongside Policemen's Creek. Highly recommended - wish we hadn't moved on to Banff.

Great spot beautiful view!
Leanne, 1-night trip

Room was clean, fair price for the stay. Will stay here again. Only downside, for the room we recieved with it backing on to the Main Street/bar, you could hear a lot of peoples conversations.
Mackenzie, 1-night trip

Amazing property!
Samuel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel offered exceptional views, location and service. The room was very basic but was very comfortable and clean and certainly cost effective. We enjoyed our stay and the check in check out service was great.
