Very friendly and helpful staff. I stayed at a private room and unfortunately the rooms aren’t ceiled at all so you can hear your next door neighbours talking and flushing the toilet as if they would be in your room. The tap water is quite rusty but the bed was very comfy.

“Quick n easy home for the night”
It was a very nice little home for the night. It’s very basic. You get water, tee, coffee for free which is really nice. :) Worth a visit if you just pass through AB.
