Great view
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room had the best view of the creek and mountains! The bathroom is a little outdated, but everything else in the room was fine and really, you're only there to sleep for the most part - and the beds were super comfortable! Also, the motel is very convenient to downtown Canmore and grocery stores. Quick walk down the street and you are there. Little bit on the noisy side, but overall, a good place to stay.

Great cheap place to stay during the winter months. The rooms have been freshly renovated and the outside just got a fresh coat of paint (summer of 2025). The pup has excellent food and amazing staff. The inn is within walking distance of downtown and lots of restaurants.

Terrific fun and great staff in the office at the restaurant/pub. After being in a room that felt too exposed, staff were very accommodating to my request for a room off the main floor. Very comfortable beds, the amenities were as stated, and wonderful proximity to everything we wanted.
Wonderful views!

This hotel is a sweet gem in Canmore! Walking distance to everything shops, restaurants, the walk along the creek is beautiful. The room had everything you need and a great view of the Three Sisters. Staff was so friendly and quick to fix an error on the charges. We danced the night away at the bar attached to the hotel then strolled back to our room. Great stay would definitely book again.
