“Fine Motel”

1/1 found this review helpful

As part of a skiing trip to Alberta, my son & I stayed at The Big Horn Motel for two nights in March 2007

Although it is just off the Trans-Canada Highway, and located near two gas stations, there was no appreciable noise from trucks or cars

We paid $ 69 a night for a ground floor corner room, complete with kitchenette and two large beds. This appears to be a winter season rate, which increases slightly for the summer, but not by much

This motel is very conveniently located just east of Canmore for the ski hills around Banff and Kananaskis, which are no more than 30 minutes drive away. The town of Canmore itself is very close, approximately 5 to 10 minutes driving distance

More importantly, it seems to have been freshly decorated and is exceptionally clean and well appointed

We also noticed a small poster on the wall signed by all the members of the Whistler Mountain (BC) Ski Race Team thanking the Big Horn Motel for the hospitality shown to them during their stay in 2006. This says a lot for the motel as well

The Big Horn Motel far exceeded our expectations in terms of location, value for money and the type of room we anticipated. Additionally they have a selection of movies that can be rented at very minimal cost to play on the VCR that was provided in our room

In short, a very nice place to stay, good location, and great value

We stayed at the Bighorn Motel for two nights. The checkin went very smoothly. The lady (I'm assuming the owner) was very nice and helpful. Our room was in the back of the motel, on the ground floor. We were traveling with a dog so the ground level was great for this. Inside the unit were two beds and a night table, a very clean washroom with newer tub/shower, sink and toilet, a kitchenette with small fridge, sink, hotplate, dishes and table with two chairs. The flooring was tile throughout. I felt very comfortable in this motel. We paid only $69.00 per night..very reasonable I'd say!

Some minor cons...not complaints

Tv only had three channels (I thought it was supposed to have satellite?)
The room was a little to warm. We tried to adjust the thermostat..but it didn't seem to change anything. I guess we could have asked the front desk for help on that.

Overall, a nice inexpensive place to stay with nice owner. Will definitly be staying there again!
