Stayed last night. Over the top outstanding service, clean, nice smelling room, comfortable bed. Because of business trips, our company will be staying each month on the way through. Pub/restaurant was already closed when I arrived and they called him and he came back just to make me a meal. Super impressed and very grateful.
We had a nice stay at Cedar Villa while visiting Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park. The rooms were clean, comfortable and affordable. The owner was also very welcoming and accommodating.
It's a quaint small town Motel. Clean, quiet and the customer service is fantastic. If you're looking for cookie cutter, modern, overpriced place to stay with no customer service, then go to the next big city. I'd rather experience the small town feel any day.
It’s old and dated but always clean and friendly staff. Food is amazing. The schnitzel is the real deal.
A decent motel at a reasonable cost. I would suggest reminding the owner to turn on the hot water tanks when you arrive. Cold showers were bearable in the heat we experienced, but unexpected. Great place to stay close to Writing on Stone. The basics are available. Grocery, and a couple places to eat. The motel was definitely peaceful and comfortable. You are looking at a 30+ min drive to the next town with other options. Affordable at about $80-$100 per night depending on individual situations.
Small family-run motel. Owner was shepherding several children as we arrived. Pleasant lady. Everything we needed was available -- hard-working air conditioner (36 C outside), fridge, microwave, TV, wifi, comfortable beds and clean surroundings. Good price. We'd stay there again.
I was on the way to Manyberries so this was the closest. The owners are great. The rooms are soso but I don't have any serious complaints. The Saloon in the same parking lot has great food.
The staff were really nice.The children were really nice and were really caring.The motel was very nice and had the stuff you would normally need;WiFi,Bathrooms,Fridge,Microwave.The restaurant was close by, the woman there was very nice but there was a man there that was a bit mean there were also some kids in the kitchen,around the restaurant.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
