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.
