“Don't drive past this place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010
3
people found this review helpful

This is a great motel 90 miles from Calgary en route to US border and for us Glacier National Park. Reception was friendly and hospitable for two weary travellers from UK after a delayed flight (isn't the journey long enough?)The whole site is clean and well cared for and it shows when you drive in off the highway. (Drive past all the modern chains and keep going until you reach The Bluebird)
We stayed in the 'Gene Autry' room and it was fabulous ...well furnished with comfortable bed and furniture and a kitchenette straight from the 50's style(not aged 50's but great reproduction) - everything was thought off and we wanted for nothing. Clean modern bathroom with Molton Brown toiletries. An iron and ironing board (which came out of the wall - delightful) fridge, microwave, TV and the fastest internet connection available (ask at the front desk for the connectors)
Wehad left our IPod box with essential connections, earphones etc when we checked out -didn't realise we had! - until we checked out emails a couple of days later in US and received a email from Iqbal who asked how he could get it to us....(disaster without it couldn't charge the IPod touch, ) as well as the cost of having to replace all the contents of the box.....we gave him our forwarding address in British Columbia, posted the cost to the motel - and yesterday received an email from our family in BC to say the package had arrived safe and sound.....what can we say but grateful thanks to the management and staff of this great motel in Claresholm.
We will be back next time we pass this way.
SO DON'T DRIVE PAST - GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

“The Bluebird Motel is the best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2010

people found this review helpful

This place is a gem. The Bluebird is so unique. The theme rooms are almost like little museums. They have so much charm and personality -- something sadly lacking in the other chain hotels. Last year we stayed in the Gene Autry Room, this year the Homestead Room. Both occasions were delightful. The rooms are immaculate and service at the front desk is friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about the Bluebird Motel. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Bluebird Motel folks for a wonderful stay.

“Returning this summer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2010

people found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel several times while visiting relatives near Claresholm.
This summer we plan to take our children and grandchildren to Claresholm and will visit at the Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump and at Fort McLeod, both a short driving distance from Claresholm.
We have stayed in several of the theme rooms at the Bluebird Motel and have always enjoyed our stay and enjoyed a good night sleep.
We usually walk to the Casa Roma restaurant and have always enjoyed a great meal there.

“Like staying at Grandma's house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here on our way from Utah to Anchorage, AK. Staff was friendly, location was good (between Butte, Montana - Jasper AB, Canada), room was clean, pet friendly, and nicely decorated. Had a 4 burner electric stove with all necessary cooking essentials (kettle for boiling water, glasses, silverware, plates, etc). Nice fold-away ironing board in the wall, great water pressure in the shower, small refrigerator in the room, cable TV with 60+ channels. This place reminds me of what you would see at Grandma's house, without the old person smell. Sits next to a property with a couple of horses. It is a bit close to the main road through town and the age of the place results in minor noise from the adjoining unit or in our case from the central heating unit but we still got a good night's sleep. Overall we are very glad we stayed here and do recommend this hotel to others. You won't be disappointed.

“Cute and cozy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2007

people found this review helpful

Loved this place. It is immaculate and the theme rooms are a real treat. I enjoyed looking at the antiques. We stayed in the Gene Autry room and it was fun seeing the memorabilia. We had also stayed in one of the heritage rooms on a previous visit.

This motel is immaculate. Even the grounds are very well tended. It is walking distance to a number of good restaurants. A lot of the rooms have a kitchenette and we ate breakfast in.

Although it is on the main highway, the room is well enough insulated so that noise wasn't a problem. I plan on staying here again.

Stayed October 2006
