Well priced, big rooms. Decent breakfast. Beds were too hard. Decor is dated but I’d rather stay in a clean decently priced hotel than an expensive one that is fancy inside.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very personable and accommodating and friendly. Yes, the hotel was dated, but it was walking distance to the Stampede grounds, it was clean and the price was great for the amenities provided. The pool wasn’t functioning during our stay but we didn’t have time to use it anyways. For being next to a main road, it was very quiet. Would definitely stay here again when in Ponoka.
