“Good but no Hot Tub”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

This is a typical Best Western, however we booked especially for the hot tub. I have health issues that make vehicle travel very difficult and had to go at the last minute to see a dying family member. So I checked at Cochrane for a hotel with hot tub. Best Western had a nice one (by the website). When we arrived I asked about the location of the hot tub and was told (rather casually) that the hot tub was not ready but that I could use the work out room. I did mention that this body did not need a work out room. Then when I checked out the next morning and was asked if all was well with our stay I again mentioned the hot tub and was again brushed off. So if a hot tub is important be sure to check and see if it is working.

Room Tip: Rooms below ground only have a very small window - 2nd or 3rd floor are better.

“Reliable and well run”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We've stayed at this hotel on several occasions and have always been pleased with the experience. The hotel staff are consistently great to deal with.

Now that BW has segmented its brand into three categories it is a little easier to anticipate the relative quality of their offerings. Although this hotel is in the vanilla category it is newer and better maintained than several of its BW peers.

The location is quiet and Cochrane has a good selection of restaurants from which to choose. The rates are a little lower than one would find for a comparable property in Calgary and the travel time to Calgary is ~30 minutes.

If there is a potential downside it would be that there is a chance that you'll encounter some noise if vehicles are left idling at night in the vacant lot adjacent to the hotel in cold weather. It is a popular hotel with work crews and they may need to warm the diesel engines in the morning before pulling out. That statement is true of any of the hotels in Cochrane. The sound proofing in the rooms is very good though, so this isn't likely to be a problem unless you prefer to leave your window open.

“was perfect for us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

We stayed a week to attend to family affairs...my husband is in a wheel chair, and while the bathroom wasn't totally accessible, it worked very well for us. 2 queen beds. Staff were helpful and attentive.
Only one handicap parking spot...could have used at least one more spot, but wasn't really a problem as there is lots of on site parking...only front door is w/c accessible.

Room Tip: spoke with the hotel itself to express needs

“Most difficult stay ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Must give 24 hour notice to leave or pay an extra day (even if you sign out at 9 am), issue settled with head office involvement. Internet difficult to connect. Spa/jacuzzi not working, closed by Health Canada. Business room with two computers, only one connected to internet. Thermostate set permanently to 'too warm'. No city newspaper -only local ones which are free anywhere in town. When extremely ill, could only dial 0, begged for someone to call husband when ill, could not handle phone too ill: owner came and could not understand the hotel phone either, and returned two hours later with cold cloth for my head when she offered it while standing by my bedside phoning husband, I was so sick. Was told that I should have read policy on line before siging in. Many 'misunderstandings' about room rate change to monthly rate from daily, never mind - left instead due to frustration and room too hot. I am guessing some of the 'misunderstandings' may be ESL issues. Booking through the hotel directly enables a cheaper rate but will not stay there again.

We spent one night here on the way to Banff. It is a newer facility, clean, nice breakfast.
