- Dwain (10/5): - The fact that they were pet friendly
- Don (8/5): - Wifi is hit and miss usually miss comfortable and very clean
- John (2/5): - Noisy, other tenants were smoking dope outside the rooms and we couldn't keep the window open because it would come in our room.
- Cathie (6/5): - Fairly handy to town. Looked clean until I went to make coffee and found old coffee filter bag and dirty coffee machine. What else hadn't been cleaned?
There was a truly horrendous chair in the room that I wouldn't dare sit in. Cracked faux leather with rips. Yuck, take it out and don't have one!
- ANMOL (4/5): - Bad experience
- Carol (10/5): - We were very pleasantly surprised with this property as it was so clean and quaint!l
The beds were very comfortable as well!
- Serguei (10/5): - Good for motel
- Chris (10/5): - Quite surprised at the place. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much. Far exceeded my expectations which was a total bonus. Clean, easy check in and helpful staff.
- Helena (2/5): - I had to call the number on the door to get a staff member to let me in so upon check-in. Not a big deal for me though. The lady at the desk was super friendly.
We asked to rent a cot, since we’re a family of 6, but the only available option they had was an old camping camo cot. My husband slept on it and as sore and in pain the entire next day.
The kitchen floors were sticky, the carpet was filthy and crunchy, there were pee splatters on the back of the bathroom door, the counters had marks and water spots on them (clearly they weren’t wiped down properly before we got there.) the bedding was definitely not washed before our stay as well. The TV had these annoying ads that kept popping up during our movie. There were only 2 towels available and when I called the front desk to get more, nobody answered.
All that being said, I feel bad writing this review, only bwcause the lady who helped us was quite friendly (I suspect she was the owner?). But the level of cleanliness (or lack thereof) needs to be addressed. My in-laws live in Athabasca, so we come here often. I will never book back in here again. This was hands down the filthiest motel I’ve ever stayed in.
- elena (8/5): - Good place to stop and access the town. It is a short 5 min drive to the river and park.
- Kathy (10/5): - Loved it
- Mathilda (8/5): - Kind and friendly staff.
- Harvey J (6/5): - Breakfast was advertised but bread and a toaster with coffee is not much of a breakfast. The one thing I was not impressed was the cord for the bedside light was connected to the plug with marrettes - electricians will know what I am talking about. Not a good thing.
- Christy (10/5): - For checking-in in the middle of the night, I was overly impressed with the friendliness and service. Even though my room was only a few doors down, I was walked to it and shown where it was, which was very thoughtful. I greatly appreciated it as I was very overtired and it was late at night. I’ve stayed here before. The kitchenette and full-size fridge are terrific. The motel is older, but kept very tidy and everything works. Lots of parking. Great rates.
- Daniel (8/5): - Drive up to the door
- Charlene (10/5): - property is clean and staff is friendly
- Timothy (8/5): - Good service
- Andrea Marie (4/5): - Found a fingernail clipping on the bathroom vanity. There is also a notice that if you leave any dirty dishes you MUST leave a $10 tip. I would hope that with Covid they are washing all dishes between guests anyway but maybe not! Only dealt with one gentleman at the front counter, he was very friendly.
- Daniel (10/5): - Great option for a stay as you enter Athabasca. The rooms were very clean and had well-appointed kitchens with shared BBQ outside. I was most impressed with the staff who took a genuine interest in our stay and wanted to make it as enjoyable as possible.
- Pentcho (10/5): - Nice and clean :)
- Todd (10/5): - Very clean and helpful staff. Early checkin
- Barbara (10/5): - The property was very well maintained, rooms were very clean & staff was friendly and accommodating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This motel was a pleasant surprise. Very clean rooms, and check in was a breeze. The gentleman is so nice and went the extra mile for our stay.
Pet friendly and everything you need right in the room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great find! Will be back!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice quaint little property. The rooms are dated. Old furniture and fixtures but more importantly, the rooms are clean and everything worked. Very friendly staff. Took the time to walk me to my room and showed it to me to make sure it was to my liking. I don’t get that type of service in 4 star Hilton or Mariott
- Pedro (10/5): Presently surprised :) - Wonderful experience. Friendly and professional staff. Will be happy to return in the future.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I liked the location. Also I liked that the rooms had to kitchenettes and they had barbeques. I found the beds not to be the most comfortable
- PaulD (10/5): - Clean and quiet, friendly staff... a little dated but a comfortable stay
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Warmly greeted by host William. He upgraded the room. Comfortable clean room. Complimentary breakfast featured fried eggs & toast. Good coffee. Several BBQs were in the guest area -- nice for those who have tired of restaurants fare.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean rooms and customer service. Very good price
- kc (8/5): - good very good , booked on expedia for 89 when got to hotel expedia book me a room that was already taken they upgraded me

- Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to the event I went to. Good location and easy to find
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Had confirmation on room, and they canceled by the time we got there
- ...r (2/5): - Would like to be refunded for our first night there We had NO HEAT and it was 40 degrees.!! We had just arrived from 90 degrees in the South When we complained they offered a heater that did not work! Then in the morning the staffer said oh we never have heat on that side and moved us across the parking lot Why did she not have us there in the first place It was empty not full!! We are so very disappointed and having travelled a lot 4400 miles this time we have never had such horrible freezing circumstances. When I tried to call I could not get through. I am home now and can state that this was just is so unacceptable!
