Just needed a place to sleep for two nights while in town for a sporting competition so was looking for budget motel to keep costs down on the trip. It is a typical small town Alberta budget motel that caters to the oil field / construction type clientele that are on the road working. That being said I have stayed... More

It was definitely clean, I stay in a lot of motels and this one was amongst the cleanest. The walls are made of concrete blocks which can make it feel kind of prison like and there was an odd smell of latex. But it was nice and the person working the front desk was great! I would definitely stay there... More

Just spent 3 days in Brooks on business and was trying to save some money by not staying at a chain. Found Plains Motel and they had good rates so I tried it out. Rooms were simple but clean, no issues with the room at all! Great shower and overall a good experience and excellent value. A few exterior things... More

The room was clean and adequare for our needs. Friendly check in, coffee available from 6am in main reception. Not the owners fault but we had trouble sleeping due to the overwhelming Skunk smell that kept coming and going through the bathroom.

Thank you for your kind review. Sorry to hear you had the unfortunate experience of our neighborhood skunk (stinky). He seems to come around once in a while and sprays his lovely scent. It unfortunately permeates the whole neighborhood, we believe he sprays somewhere along the back alley behind our building. We hope that you will visit us again in... More

My son had concerns after I told him I had spent 10 days at this motel, in 1983, while house hunting. Management has kept up with the times by providing WiFi, a microwave and a refrigerator that wasn't there 35 years ago. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning kept the room at a comfortable temperature. There is no... More

This was a good room for the money. We stayed here two nights. The place needs a little makeup but I think they cater to a lot of 'crew' workers who don't need a lot of frills. It was very quiet even with the window open all night and we had two queens in the room. There was a fridge... More

I'm a contractor doing work in the Brooks area for the last 3 months. The LOA (Living Out Allowance) isn't that great, and the chain Hotels here are all around the $110-140/nt bracket. The Plains is an older styled motel, but it's clean and half the 2/3 the price of the other guys. Standard single is $75 and a kitchenette... More

Mangaement and Staff of the Plains Motel would like to thank you for your review. We strive to keep a clean, quiet motel. We are not fancy so we can keep our rates reasonable. We prefer to put our money into functionality versus esthetics. We hope to see you again soon. More

I spent $84 +tax for the least expensive, single room. The room is very small and does not look good. The room and whole hotel is definitely in need of maintenance - cracks in paint, marks etc. The air conditioner is awfully noisy and so is the small fridge. You can get forget the peaceful quiet night's sleep unless you... More

I found the night shift, front desk lady to be rude, unpleasant, and difficult to deal with. The rooms were OK for the price, but the housekeeping could do a better job. I frequently stay at hotels on business trips all over Alberta, and I find the Plains motel to be sub-par with their competition. I would only recommend staying... More
