An awesome place to be in. I was there for entire one month with my family and it was very hygienic and clean hotel. Service is top notch. Management is excellent. Accessible to all Edmonton is great. Many facilities were provided by the hotel. Parking is available and free.

Best hotel in the whole city. This is my second week staying here, the value for money is incredible. You get a nice comfortable room and a free breakfast at a great rate, and the housekeeping does a top notch job. The front desk staff is also very helpful, especially Pavn. Would recommend this hotel to any family member or friend.

This place is alright for two stars hotel. We noticed that this hotel was just beside the train, but surprisingly, there was no noise, so we slept okay. The washroom is clean; the carpet is alright. Honestly, this place is way more hygienic than any other two-star hotel we visited. The owner is friendly and well informative. It was hard for us to drive in Edmonton for their one way; it could have been clearer. But other than that, we had a great night.

I needed a place to stay that was close to the Children’s Hospital on short notice. I literally clicked the cheapest place that showed up when I googled motels. I wasn’t expecting much and I was very pleasantly surprised. Yeah, I read the 1 star reviews and I’d like to cover a couple of things 1 - The room was clean 2 - The lobby was clean 3 - There was no smell in the hallways or the rooms other than clean sheets. There was *ESPECIALLY* NO smell of urine. 4 - The staff were friendly, professional, prompt, pleasant and available. 5 - The room was <$80 for the night, taxes and fees included. The room I stayed in had a queen sized bed that was comfortable, a microwave, a fridge, a small air conditioner, cable, a couch and some counter space. I have paid *SIGNIFICANTLY MORE* for hotels with SIGNIFICANTLY LESS on offer. Is it a five-star hotel? No. OBVIOUSLY not. If you want a five-star hotel, Edmonton has a couple of those that you’re welcome to stay at for $400-$700/night. If you want a clean, roomy and comfortable room that’s central, close to amenities and surprisingly quiet for being on the train tracks, this place fits the bill.

Nice area for shopping located by the Historic Train Yards.. I would recommend that they have a bus stop in front of the motel. The staff were friendly and responsive to my requests. They also accept cash for checking in upon arrival. And no cancellation fees.

Pleasant. Basic Budget accommodation that I found functional for an Intercity Highway Stopover. Staff was Super friendly and highly accommodating. Yaspal is a professional and helpful person ask for him. The room #103 was nice with a very comfortable bed and was functional. Got an early check in and late check out without any drama like at some other places I've stayed. I was super tired from my travels and slept like a log but the close proximity of this Motel and 3 others in the same row to the railway tracks could be an issue for some. Close to a lot of shopping and almost everything you'll ever need. I'm leaving happy as I got a steal of a deal on the price for the 1 night I stayed here that made my stopover A Great Deal ! Fast forward to March 2018 Stayed a night again on my travels and the same amazing husband and wife team. Great hospitality. Got a suite this time. Thanks. The train tracks were really noisy tonight. Everything else was fine.
