Had an excellent stay at the badlands motel! Check in was very easy, and they were able to accomidate a late check out request. The room was clean with AC and a fridge, and it was a short drive to the center of town. Will stay there any time i'm back in Drumheller!

Good price for the room and shares a great breakfast/diner restaurant. Has a nice view of the badlands outside and was quiet at night time. Needs proper renovations not masked, showers were weak, you have to choose between open curtains with a/c cooling the room or a/c cooling the closed curtains

I understand that this is a budget motel but you at least expect the doors to lock properly and the lights to work. I rented 3 rooms for 3 nights (1 single queen and 2 double rooms) The single room was upgraded to a single with kitchenette at no extra charge. This room had a a few issues. Door didn't stay closed unless it was deadbolted, you could see daylight around the door as the frame was falling apart. The ac unit was newer but was really dirty and was very noisy. The bedside tables are coming separating from the headboard and the bedside lamp didn't work (bulb was good). Bathroom shows signs of water damage. Shower head was so corroded that barely any water came out. Bathroom sink drained very slowly. Only good thing was the bed was soft. 2 double rooms has issues as well. All 4 beds were hard, bathrooms had water damage and some mold. One AC unit was very noisy and the other barely worked. Both needed cleaning. This is the 2nd time I have stayed here and overall it is an okay stay and it is clean but the property is in need of repairs. The restaurant is great! I really hope they put the effort into fixing the issues because it is a nice place.

Dirty

The kitchen in the room was filthy. The cutlery drawer was full of smears of food. The counter hadn’t been wiped behind the coffee pot. The tv wouldn’t work and there was no one at the front desk to help all night so we couldn’t access the tv at all. There was a sofa bed but had no sheets for it so my daughter had to sleep on a stained up mattress and used towels as a blanket.

The view is spectacular. It's close to the museum. No one at the front desk in the office and when someone arrived she couldn't find our booking. We waited for the room to be cleaned. The rug in our room was old and very stained. We had clean sheets and the bathroom was clean but the tub area was missing calking and black looking. It's a dive but that's reflected in the price.

Horrible communication. Didn’t meet obligations

I left a dive watch in the motel. I contacted them and they said they would mail it. Ten days later it still hasn’t arrived. So I called them. The person who answered the phone would keep interrupting. They said they preferred to that we arrange a courier to pick it up. In ten days they didn’t let me know that they didn’t mail it. And that they preferred that we have it picked up. He became very rude, began swearing, blaming health problems. He’s not the only person who works there. He should have let me know he couldn’t meet his obligations.

Reasonable price and great Indian food!

The Indian food at the restaurant on site was fantastic! The room is very old and not maintained. The pillows were flat, and the bed was okay for comfort. My friend and I had a great time anyway because we hadn’t seen each other in months, and we didn’t care that the room wasn’t perfect.

The room smelled so much like cigarette smoke that it inflamed my lungs and I had to leave because I couldn’t breathe. If you have sensory issues or asthma, stay away.

Had an issue with the Room being extremely HOT so when I contacted the Owner he looked into it immediately & shortly after he went into the basement to check it out the problem was fixed within minutes. Restaurant on site with Fantastic food that has a small Thomas the Train that going around the top of the ceiling throughout the whole Restaurant. Dynamite to witness:) Absolutely stay there again.

Too pricey for what you get

I have no problem staying in 3-star places but I’d like a comfy bed and a clean room. It wasn’t filthy but it wasn’t clean. It was expensive for what you received. The staff was very friendly, so that’s always appreciated.

Rooms are dated, not particularly clean. I noticed the fan in my bathroom and the AC unit were filthy (and incredibly noisy but I could forgive that). Looked like mould on the ceilings but couldn’t be sure. Linens were actually very clean though, so in terms of a place to sleep, it was fine.
