Clean room and was far beyond my expectations of motels. Definitely feel like I should’ve paid more seeing how well-kept my room was. Their restaurant was just as amazing and tasty with amazing staff all around.

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.

It was nice to find out upon arrival that we got upgraded to a suite. It gave us a kitchenette and a full fridge/freezer for our ice packs and a bed for each of our kids, but it was on a second level with a narrow staircase so moving things up/down was tricky. The carpet looked dirty and the building in general looked quite old. We took comfort in knowing we'd only spent one night here and the price was affordable. The location was conveniently north of the Michichi Creek, away from the busy-ness of downtown Drumheller and easy to head up to the museum in the morning.

I wish the fridge had a freezer, though they did supply an ice bucket which a staff member filled for me. Glad to see recycling bins. These are often missing in hotels/motels.
