Pleasantly surprised! Booked online the day-of as I was travelling down from Edmonton via Drumheller with family, on our way to Fort MacLeod. Arrived later than expected, so I called the motel to inquire about desk hours (they had someone on til 10:30pm) and said we would be arriving 11:15-30, and they said no problem they'd have someone stay up. Motel is modest on the outside (obviously an older building), but inside was very clean and tidy. Got two double -queen rooms and both were very clean and quite nice and did not have that "old motel" smell, they were surprisingly pleasant. Both my parents and aunt (in their 60s and 70s) had no complaints on the quality of the beds, and commented that the motel was very nice and quiet. Breakfast was good and the man working (owner I think) asked if there was any food we needed more of, and he made us fresh eggs, pancakes, and brought us boiled water for tea. Very reasonable accommodations for the price, especially compared to what else was nearby and easily 1.5x the price. Would...
Read moreIf there was six stars, I would give six stars for sure. Although the hotel is getting pretty outdated with its fixtures and decor, we’re definitely going to stay there every time we’re in town for a drift event because of the way the manager treated us. She went absolutely above and beyond normal expectations and is very good at dealing with people that are upset. I had a long day and I was very tired and I wasn’t the easiest to deal with one of the days I stayed, and she just had a way of calming me down and changing my mood completely, that was very commendable. Everything was very clean and we didn’t have to wait for anything. It was a very busy weekend and I noticed she was the one cleaning the rooms so I asked her why she was doing that, and she said “staff was tough to come by right now” it didn’t seem to bother her that she was wearing all the hats at the same time. This is a real review by a genuine guest, I don’t know anyone who works/owns the hotel in any way. I stayed here the weekend of august 15...
Read moreI've just spent 4 days/3 nights at the Best Seven Inn. Pros: Bed and pillows were comfortable. The old fashioned heater unit worked brilliantly, and the air exchange helped cool the room down for sleeping comfortably at night; cannot speak to the AC as it was -20C so I just turned the fan on. The rate was extremely reasonable Dinner at the attached restaurant was reasonable & tasty. Management was very friendly & courteous Rooms were clean TV was big, new & internet speeds were good enough to stream Netflix & play xbox Cons: Shower was horrible; had two and a half settings; flay fresh or sputter/ drip. The half setting (literally between the two) gave some semblance of pressure, but half the water shot straight down Furniture other than the bed were extremely worn & uncomfortable
Overall an acceptable stay,...
