What a wonderful place to get away from the rat race and just RELAX. Your hosts... Terri and Marv are probably two of the most genuinely nice people you will ever have the opportunity to meet. We left there feeling like we had made two new friends...thats how comfortable they made us feel. The accomodations are simply wonderful. Warm, inviting,... more

If I had gone to Strathmore with a blueprint of what the "perfect" time would be, it would have been blown out of the water by the actual time I spent at Rocking R Ranch! I'd gone to Alberta for a conference in Calgary, and wanted to be away from the city. Rocking R was just that -- but close... more

I had a week vacation in October 2007 and wanted to fish the Bow River with a couple of buddies. We stayed at the Rocking R Ranch, an outstanding bed and breakfast about 15 mins outside of town. Myself and two buddies had dinner at the Strathmore Station Restaurant & Pub six nights in a row and have nothing but... more

I concur with all the great things said in the other reviews of Terri and Marv's Rocking R Ranch. It is absolutely phenomenal. I had a week vacation in October 2007 and wanted to fish the Bow River with a couple of buddies. As an experienced do-it yourself (DIY) fly fisherman, I've pulled my drift boat 25 hours from Minneapolis... more

The Rocking R Guest Ranch is a great place to relax and unwind from the hectic pace of the big city. This was our kids first experience with horses and Marvin made them feel relaxed and at ease. Terri's breakfasts are fantastic and the hospitality at the ranch is 5 star. Great place for anyone to visit and I would... more

Its fun to eat in the restaurant part... service is very friendly. the bar is fun too because they always have games on, fun people working, pool tables and great music! more

My husband and I got married at the Ranch. It was a beautiful place for a small wedding. We had a fantastic experience, were treated spectacularly, and had a wonderful stay. Marv and Terri went out of their way to make our Special Day a success and provided us with so many great memories. We would absolutely suggest the Ranch... more

We were on our way home from Calgary after a trip to Cuba and were in the midst of a snowstorm. We decided to stay in Strathmore and called the Best Western a few minutes before arriving, booked a suite. We weren't disappointed. The staff was very accomodating and friendly. We had a nice one bedroom suite, with a fireplace,... more

We stayed one night at the Travelodge on our way to the Royal Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum. The hotel staff were very friendly, the included breakfast was plentiful and filling, and our room very clean. Our kids loved the pool and waterslide. This hotel was the best value we encountered during our week long visit to Canada. Definitely recommend. more

We've nothing much more to add to the first review as they are spot on with their comments. We stayed here for 2 nights in July during the Calgary Stampede and loved it. Just wished we stayed for longer. Terri and her family are lovely and we do miss her breakfasts- they are the best we have EVER had. Our... more

Our group was in the area for the nearby Rockyford Rodeo and half of us spent two nights at the Strathmore Best Western and the other half at the Strathmore Travelodge a few buildings down the street. Strathmore is to the east of Calgary, and the hotel and amenities scene is located just off Highway 1 on service roads which... more

We stayed at this hotel back in June 2005 during our trip across Alberta. We chose this hotel since it was on the way from Calgary to Drumheller. Price was good and good location for what we were planning on going. Small but nice pool. Boston Pizza near by for eats. Would stay there again. more

We had spent endless hours trying to find high quality, self-catering, family accommodation for our trip to Calgary, Alberta. After phoning friends, family in Calgary and what seemed to be the 100th Google search we came upon the Rocking R Ranch - and I can't begin to tell you how lucky we were! Let me tell you about the Bunk... more

This was our first night in Canada. It was very comfortable and clean, much bigger than we thought and had all the amenities that we needed. It exceeded our expectations. more

I searched this site for a good hotel to stay at before going on our trip, so we sort of new what to expect. The hotel is newer and it shows in the nice furniture and decor. The room was big, however the bathroom small as soon as you open the door the toilet is there, but we didn't spend... more

This hotel is simply amazing. My husband and I ended up staying in several hotels in Alberta, and this one was by far the best (not to mention, the least expensive!). Their continental breakfast is a definite treat--you will find nothing like it. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the beds are amazing, the headboard and bedroom suite actually bring the... more

We stayed two nights at the Travelodge and were treated to very helpful staff, a large comfortable room and an ample continental breakfast. I would make a point of staying there again. more

This hotel was excellent. We stayed there in August 2003. The waterslide was great for our kids. They had free lifejackets, noodles and pool toys there. The pool wasn't huge, but it was warm and clean. The hot-tub was big and nice. The room was clean, good. The best part of this hotel was the breakfast. This was the best... more

bien à tout point de vue more
