Mike is always so friendly and helpful. When we go to Claresholm to visit family, we always stay here. Great breakfast as well. Rooms are clean and the beds are super comfy. They have a few with two rooms. Some have 3 beds, others with two and singles as well. I would highly recommend staying here!

The room was all right , clean. The over all impression I got after finding out the restaurant Connected was closed and the laundromat closed as well, was this place is struggling. Would personally rate it a 4/10. Vending machines are empty and no ice buckets . We booked thing we had a room with a table and chairs outside but we were inside at the end of an old dark hallway. Needs some definite loving and maybe a few updates.

The room was big enough for the three of us and our dog. The breakfast had an assortment of cereal, muffins, fruit and breads. The coffee was hot and plentiful with plenty of creamer options. There was also yogurt avaiable.
