“Wonderful Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Don't let the outdated decor fool you. This Thriftlodge offers great value for a place just off Highway 2. My room on the second floor was decently sized featuring 2 queen beds. Even though it was close to the highway you couldn't hear the traffic.

I was thoroughly impressed with cleanliness of room's interior. There wasn't a speck of dust on the headboards or window sills and even the fridge & microwave were spotless.

Breakfast was simple, but ample. Check-in/out was a breeze. The staff was exceedingly friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again just for the "down home" country experience. Remember, this is a vintage establishment so don't expect a lot of frills, but excellent value and sincere hospitality.

  • Liked — Spotlessly clean! Friendly reception.
  • Disliked — Orange hallways.

“Simple, clean, comfortable and cheap. What else do you need?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2006

Well, I came accross this motel by chance, as I was driving back from Lethbridge at 1am. I was getting tired at the wheel, and was looking for a place to crash. I figured it couldnt be that bad as it was a chain. Despite looking a bit dated and worn outside, inside I was pleasantly surprised. The night staff got my transaction over with quickly, and a very reasonable $76 incl tax.

My room was on the second floor, and again, was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a grot pit, but, the room and bathroom was very clean. Spotless shiny taps and sink.

Some of the decor and furniture throughout the place is a bit cheezy and a bit 70s, or dated, but its all in good order, the bed is comfy and clean, and at the end of the day, when one is tired from driving, thats all you need.

In the morning, there is a simple 'help yourself' breakfast, toast, cereals, coffee etc.

I gave it an 'excellent' based on what it does for a business road warrior like me needs, a clean bed and room for the night.

  • Liked — cheap, clean and comfy.
  • Disliked — Nothing, you cant complain for the price.
