Hotel/Motel

AMAZING experience, especially for the price!!! We were in a bind and had to find a hotel within a few hours as we were coming from Banff. Called and booked a king size room, and the guy was very pleasant on the phone. We had some fears looking at google maps, and once we got there we were a little alarmed as it's not the greatest area. Once we got into the room however, it was just WOW, so much nicer than we were expecting and very very CLEAN!! The whole motel is newly renovated, so everything is new and modern. Even the outside of the building looked nice. They have complimentary breakfast, and the pet fee was only $20/night as opposed to $25 with most other places, so that was even more value added to the already amazing deal they offer. The only cons about the experience would be a few things about the room, like the laminate flooring was already pulling up and looks like it needs replacement already. Also the top part of the tap on the sink pulled right off when I went to use it. Other than that, which are things barely worth mentioning, I cannot say a bad thing about it. It's also close by the river valley, a park, and about a 10 minute drive to downtown and the popular 17th Avenue. Would definitely stay here again, assuming that they keep up to date with maintenance, but even so, for the price you cannot go wrong! :) :)

It is what it is .accepts cash . great manager though

Stayed here multiple times with my family over the years whether visiting or passing thru! Yeah its got it's flaws but for the price its good!, neighbourhood is fast paced so no real threat. Timmies is a hop away and your situated on the #1 highway so you can find everything up and down the street.

Very nice and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and over all nice.

For being a two star as quite happy. Had coffee in the room, tv was great. Room was decently clean, staff very friendly.

Excellent bed and breakfast. The hosts are kind and welcoming. The house was very clean and well appointed. The breakfast was excellent, a huge a variety of delicious food.

It was an excellent room for training. The food (which came in three stages through out an 8 hour day) was delicious and varied. The staff were quick to clean while not interrupting the training. Room was comfortable.

Courteous staff, they were undergoing construction but ensured they were quiet during sleeping hours. Very nice interior. Would stay again

Great food and service and really classy dining area!

Fairly comfy beds, lots of tv channels (way more than normal), good bathroom ventilation, great wifi connection, fantastic continental breakfast (way more variety of food than normal), and delicious free cookies in the lobby!! All around our stay was better than expected!

We arrived a little late to check in, but I called ahead of time to let them know we were late. Nice area although there was an interesting musty smell. I went out for a run in the morning and their are some beautiful trails along Bow River.

We had a great stay, staff is wonderful, rooms are gorgeous, pool was great and the games room was excellent. The continental breakfast was really good too. LIttle pricey but I still give 5 stars.

As far as cheap motels go, I had no problems with the Bow River Inn. The bed was really firm, which my wife did not appreciate but I happen to like, and the complimentary breakfast was very light, but I had a restful stay here

I have shifted my rating down a star. It is still decent, but on my third multi-day stay, had some real issues. First the toilet ran constantly, every time I tried to go say something, the woman at the desk was on the phone (she stayed on the phone to the point I think she was avoiding people) so I let the thing run. The biggest issue I had with her was her total incompetence when it came to the shuttle. She gave me totally bad information twice resulting in much frustration and taxi rides instead of the shuttle. They paid the taxi fee, but I would not trust anything she says. There is a black lady there and she is the only one with whom I would deal if the first one is there (the one I had issues with is of Indian or Pakistani descent I think with long hair and dark glasses I also saw no name tag and that may be by her design as others wear one.) Rooms are fine, one thing I really appreciated was the 20 minutes of free long distance every day anywhere in Canada or US. Saved me about $20 a day on Verizon Roaming Charges. If you do not take a computer, there are a couple in the lounge, when they work they are okay at best, and the printer works as well. I have stayed there three times and the other two times, there were no problems, so I may be venting frustration here. I will definitely stay there again due to the convenient location.

We have been “on the road” (Toronto to Vancouver) for 8 weeks, different motel every night. ThisSuper8 ( not always good ) - but in Cochrane - brilliant. Ground floor King room as required. (Easy access for slightly disabled). Spacious room, all necessary stuff) bathroom you COULD ‘swing a cat in’ - with simple taps and a bath handle ; - lovely helpful, chatty staff (Sh (Aron) Sh ?) and her new assistant, All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Modern, clean and beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Very convenient in the terminal across diagonally from the Delta hotel. I liked the colour pallets and the decoration. The bar scene has a nice vibe when the place is full.

Great place with home cooked food. Coldest beer in town and cheap to boot. The bar manager provides awesome service, you never have to wait for your favorite beverage to be cheerfully refilled. If you haven't tried this place you must give it a go. Good clean place, makes you feel like you are back in the 70's.

Staff were quick to answer any questions and assist in any way they could. Breakfast was better than expected. The pancake maker was a nice touch.

This hotel is going to be terrific.

Front desk staff are pleasant and willing to help. Rooms are spacious and clean. It would be nice to have more features available on the TV. Location has close access to the C-train
