This motel is not the fanciest place to stay in Canmore but its definitely the best location and the best value. The motel is right in town so you can walk to all the restaurants for breakfast or a pint. The rates are super affordable and our room was spotless. The bathroom was immaculate and although the rooms are dated... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Bow Valley Motel in February and had a fantastic time. They had an amazing deal on with the 3 local mountains. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The location could not have been better, with Main street and nearly all the restuarants and shopping in Canmore within walking distance. We have both done... More

I can only echo what others have said. This is an older place that has been well-looked after. The bathroom is clean, the TV is a modern flat-screen with a nice choice of channels, the internet works well, the mattress is good (but not great). The side-to-side soundproofing is fine, but you'll hear the occasional footstep from upstairs. I stayed... More

My wife and I made reservation here so we had a place to land after a long drive from Minnesota. We spent the next week exploring Banff and Jasper National Parks. We liked the vibe in Canmore so much we reserved a room for our last night in the area a week later. The hotel was a good value and... More

This motel is clean, fairly priced, and in a fantastic location. Booking a room with a kitchenette allowed us to cook our own meals, which is a penny-saver in Canmore. The room was comfortable and the staff nice. The location is what's best...close to downtown, grocery stores, and two doors down from The Grizzly Paw--a great local brewery. Money saved... More

What lovely and quaint motel. It was like staying in a time capsule. You were immediately transported back to the 1980s in this great little Motel. It was super clean and in a great location on Main Street Canmore. Waliking distance to a variety of restaurants, pubs and shopping. The lady behind the reception desk was very friendly and helpful.... More

This place is your average hotel, but the location can't be beat! It is right along the "main drag" in Canmore, everything (shops, pubs, eateries) is in walking distance! Lots of parking is available and included in the price. I would definitely stay again and would also recommend to anyone (families, couples, solo travelers). It is not for someone wanting... More

This is a decent motel in the heart of Canmore. If you're not expecting much you won't be dissapointed, the furniture is old but functional, the bathroom clean, the room clean by motel standards :) They have this huge flat screen TV in the room, the only reason i'm mentioning it it's because they placed it at 90degrees angle from...
