Stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. drove in late to check in after a 12hr trip. Had to leave before 11am due to housekeeping. Left garbage, dirty linens. Room wasn’t clean to expectations for us to leave after a long trip. And got rejected of a late check out.

This was a great place to stay in Cochrane. The location is next to a big park, the staff were friendly and courteous, the room was clean, large and equipped with a coffee maker, fridge and microwave. In particular, we loved the fact that the bathroom had a roomy shower and proper full bathtub. We would definitely stay here again.

bedding was fresh and (I believe) memory foam mattress permitted a good night's sleep. Good value for the price. Be sure to turn on the heat on entry in winter. It was quite fresh on first entry and before turning on the heat unit.
