Is a good spot to stay if you have children and need a suite to prepare food. Also, the attached restaurant serves good meals and reasonably priced. Good location too.

8/10 Very good

Reasonable price and great Indian food!

The Indian food at the restaurant on site was fantastic! The room is very old and not maintained. The pillows were flat, and the bed was okay for comfort. My friend and I had a great time anyway because we hadn’t seen each other in months, and we didn’t care that the room wasn’t perfect.
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was nice to find out upon arrival that we got upgraded to a suite. It gave us a kitchenette and a full fridge/freezer for our ice packs and a bed for each of our kids, but it was on a second level with a narrow staircase so moving things up/down was tricky. The carpet looked dirty and the building in general looked quite old. We took comfort in knowing we'd only spent one night here and the price was affordable. The location was conveniently north of the Michichi Creek, away from the busy-ness of downtown Drumheller and easy to head up to the museum in the morning.

Fantastic stay

Everything was top rate. Even the restaurant served fresh, locally grown food.

I spent one night there in April 2025, with my sister. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff are very friendly. The on site resteraunt is charming with really good home made food and amazing staff.

I wish the fridge had a freezer, though they did supply an ice bucket which a staff member filled for me. Glad to see recycling bins. These are often missing in hotels/motels.
Sally, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were helpful and courteous. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a kitchenette. Only thing was the pots and pans weren't sufficient so we had to go buy so we could make supper. Only bad thing found was the bathroom exhaust fan was disgustingly dirty. We very much enjoyed our stay tho.
TIM, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location to Royal Tyrell Museum. Clean, comfortable room. Good food, price at attached diner. Trains cruising around ceiling very entertaining.
william, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room, clean. However there was alot of (construction) garbage just lying around the property. Also didn't like that other guest could smoke right outside of your doorway. There should have been a designated smoking area so that every time I opened tthe door I didn't have smoke coming into the room. Bathroom caulking needs redoing
Cheryl, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pictures on site did not meet the reality of room 28. Onopening the door there was a musty smell. The carpets were full of stain. Not all windows opened, the air conditioner was very loud. Had coffee fixings but no coffee pot. No toilet paper on the holder. However bed sheets were clean. We could not wait to get out of there. Will not stay again!
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was good. Bed & pillows good. The place is a little outdated. Could use new carpeting as it is dirty. Check-in was good. Small room, but for the price good. Grounds are clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Had an issue with the Room being extremely HOT so when I contacted the Owner he looked into it immediately & shortly after he went into the basement to check it out the problem was fixed within minutes. Restaurant on site with Fantastic food that has a small Thomas the Train that going around the top of the ceiling throughout the whole Restaurant. Dynamite to witness:) Absolutely stay there again. Thank You!!! CR
