The room was dirty in places and smelled of stale cigarette smoke. My wife bought cleaning products to clean surfaces as well as Febreeze to make the room smell liveable. The shower curtain was dirty and stained. The beds were actually comfy. We stayed two out of three nights.

Property clean fresh paint my room. Bed good. Dripping sink but looks like once a plumber can deal it will rectified. Quiet area. Easy access. Seating outside in shade if needed is warmer months. Restaurant Looks to be good to eat at as well. No looking for a place to eat as attached. Recommend for a quick night stay. Friendly staff.

Very dirty, very stinky

Unfortunately this motel was the worst part of our drumheller trip. When we arrived our room hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. Cob webs, carpets not vacuumed, dirty windows, crusty tables. The room was absolutely infested with maple bugs. We understand that they are a seasonal pest that are hard to stop, we would have understood if it was 3 or 4, But it was 50+. The door seal was so bad the could and would come in the entire stay. I would wake up to bugs in my hair. If all of that wasn't bad enough the room had a terrible smell that even an entire bottle of febreze couldn't fix. All in all just spend the little bit extra and stay somewhere else.
