“Perfectly fine - did the trick!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I made reservations at the Flamingo Inn for our team the night before the Waterton-Glacier Relay. Race organizers and some of these reviews scared three of our members off to another motel, but the rest stayed true and I'm glad we did. It is a small town motel, perfectly clean, not fancy in the least, no spa shower head or down comforters. But it worked for us and I would stay there again -- no problems. Beds were clean, towels were clean, carpet is old but so is mine at home. This is not the Marriott but it never pretended to be. I'd recommend it to anyone I know going to Cardston. Give them a break -- the Flamingo Inn is just FINE !!!!
Especially like how the rooms were kind of sectioned off since we have a mixed gender team, and also appreciated the microwave and refrigerator.

“FILTHY”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2010

people found this review helpful

We have stayed here several times over the past few years due to the lack of available rooms downtown at the only decent place to stay in Cardston. The rooms are disgusting. They were filthy, smelled terrible, poor quality beds, carpets ripped and torn, dead flies, mould around the tub and shower. There will never be a next time. Gladly drive another thirty minutes to stay somewhere clean.

“One of the best MOTELs that I have ever stayed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2010

people found this review helpful

The receptionist was friendly. We rented a room with 2 double beds and a kitchen. The room was spacious and the bathroom was big for a motel and clean. There was TV/DVD player combo which was a definite plus. The towels were white and looked very clean. The carpet looked dirty, but it was not since I always walked in the room with bare feet which were not black at bedtime. In conclusion, I am rating a family-run MOTEL, not a 5-star hotel.

“Not even one star for this disgusting motel”

Kind of motel you never wished to be.I booked two nights for a trip in Glacier national park in Montana and Waterton lakes and Cardston was a good base for these trips. This motel is at the end of town but this is the smallest problem, the place is disgusting filthy rooms,stained carpets ,dust all over.Has a swimming pool too never bother to try after seeing the rooms.I wouldn’ t stay again even if they pay me to stay there.

May 27, 2010 Don't go there, unless you take a carpet shampooer
By a Yahoo! Local user
To say the least, very nasty rooms, floors you wouldn't want to walk on with muddy boots. Staff waited for us which was nice, but the rooms where totally disgusting and the clientele we saw was less than desirable!!! Book a room at the South Country Inn as it's the newest, cleanest, friendliest and handiest. There are only 3 motels to choose from in town and the other one apparently is as bad if not worse as the Flamingo as people indicated they got bed bug bites there!!

Staff waited for us which was nice, but the rooms where totally disgusting and the clientele we saw was less than desirable!!! Book a room at the South Country Inn as that's the only decent choice in Cardston. Only 3 motels to choose from and this one and the other one both are really disgusting. The South Country Inn is clean, modern and staff are really great.
