I was enroute to the Pembina Valley and stayed here for one night because of predicted poor weather conditions in that area. I found this motel on TripAdvisor and called to learn they had rooms. I was offered an excellent rate of less than $95 + tax that included a 10% CAA discount. The agent was Ben who was very pleasant and helpful. On my first phone call he said he was checking in a few guests and could he call back. I agreed but was skeptical because I've had other hotels say that and not call back. As promised, Ben returned my call 10 minutes later and I booked a room. On arrival, the check in process was very easy. I had a special need regarding parking. I was towing a trailer and Ben said it was no problem parking sideways in parking spaces along the edge of the lot. That helped a lot. The room was very nice although one could tell it was slowly becoming tired and would likely need a refresh within two years. The room included a very comfortable Queen bed, microwave, refrigerator and TV. My only criticism is the poor lighting. The ceiling light over the table was a very low wattage CFL that did not provide enough light to work at the table. The room had a really cool table lamp next to the table that had touch on/off, AC power outlet and USB outlet. I contacted Ben and asked if I could get a second lamp for the desk so that I had enough light. Within 10 minutes he was at my room with an additional desk light. Overall the room was really clean and comfortable. In the morning they offered free breakfast from 5:30a to 10:00a. I slept in and went to the breakfast room at 9:30a. I had it to myself so there was no waiting. The only issue was that things like breads were almost out of stock because other guests had been through. I noted they didn't have bagels. They also ”cheaped out” on the waffles by offering pre-cooked waffles to put in the toaster rather than having a waffle griddle. The check out process was equally easy and efficient. I was assisted by Marie, the motel manager, who printed the invoice and sent me a PDF by email. Finally, the motel is in a great location just a block from Highway 12, the main north south road through the city. Across the road is a Smitty's restaurant also owned by the motel owners and within 4 blocks are the Walmart and a Tim Horton's. Overall I had a comfortable stay at this economy motel and will gladly patronize again.
Excellent
