If you are looking for somewhere to stay for a night in Central Alberta I would recommend the HoJo for a good no frills value stay.

The room was clean, service was excellent, and continental breakfast was adequate. I would only comment that the bed was hard.

I've seldom stayed at a place where every night was uninterupted and quiet. The air conditioner worked, the staff was courteous, and the mornings were peaceful.

Thank you, Red Deer Howard Johnson!

The hotel was able to manage our team reservations without any trouble and made a big effort to make us all comfortable. The big green space between the two buildings was perfect for our team to warm up and play minimatches amongst themselves - which I think they did the entire time we were off the soccer field! The common room was perfect for our team lunch and the free breakfast was perfect to keep costs down! The staff was very accomodating and did everything they could to encourage us to come back... and where to stay will be an easy decision when we come back next year!

We didn't expect any frills, and were happy to find a very friendly staff and clean, quiet rooms. They even had a nice grassy area where we could walk our dog, and a picnic table so we could eat outside. The breakfast was also quite nice.
