Clean room and was far beyond my expectations of motels. Definitely feel like I should’ve paid more seeing how well-kept my room was. Their restaurant was just as amazing and tasty with amazing staff all around.

Breakfast is always fantastic, great service my friend Cheryl says. They have a couple dog friendly rooms. She always stays in rm 24 with her frenchies.... Cheryl stayed off and on for approx. 13 days. Highly reccomend, reasonably priced, does the job. The only thing is the room heat is unbearable

Had an excellent stay at the badlands motel! Check in was very easy, and they were able to accomidate a late check out request. The room was clean with AC and a fridge, and it was a short drive to the center of town. Will stay there any time i'm back in Drumheller!

Absolutely beautiful view of the badlands from our suite door! Staff was really nice, room was super clean and well stocked. At one point we accidentally locked ourself out of the room and even though it was after office hours, someone came and let us back in really quickly and was so cool about it..thanks again we loved our stay!!

Good price for the room and shares a great breakfast/diner restaurant. Has a nice view of the badlands outside and was quiet at night time. Needs proper renovations not masked, showers were weak, you have to choose between open curtains with a/c cooling the room or a/c cooling the closed curtains

Hot water in shower was a dribble. Shower head old and plugged up. Non-smoking rooms but smokers encouraged to smoke just outside their units so neighbouring units can’t open their windows without getting smoked out. Nice hosts, convenient location, full size fridge. We will stay elsewhere though next trip.

Clean but dated. Exactly what I expected for the location, age and price. They just need to take out the ancient carpets and install some laminate, and update the mattresses. Typical motel vibes. Very quiet. Windows open easily and let in a great cross breeze, and our doors locked securely. I'd stay here again, especially if they got firmer mattresses.
