Passing thru on my way to BC and stayed the one night on a recommendation from a friend. The person in the office (manager/owner?) was courteous and helpful in suggesting a few local places to have supper. The rooms are located in 2 single single story classic motel style buildings that allow you to drive up to your door. The... More

Not a Bad place all in all. For the money ive stayed in much worse. No sign of bugs but if you look for nasty grime you will find it.id recomend your own bed sheets and towels. Was quiet and a place to sleep the snow storm out. It worked for us and if needed again i will go back.

They have bedbugs - they are not spiders. After discovering that husband got transferred to another room and offered a bottle of wine as an apology. What about all his clothes???? No offer was made to clean them or dry clean them. Also the switchboard often didn't answer and sometimes the room phone didn't work. All n all I'd say... More

I am a regular visitor to Cochrane and always go to Bow River Inn each time. Friendly and helpful staff. I’ve seen the owners/staff doing regular upkeep and renovations and I have a pleasant stay each time I travel through! Excellent value compared to any other hotel in town. Highly recommended!

Absolutely great place to stay. My girl friend & I stayed here for 2 nights. The front desk staff were friendly, our room was clean & comfortable and I really liked the convenience of having a kittchenette. I truly enjoyed my stay.

Sleep interrupted because of insect bites! Spiders or bedbugs - I don't know! Nothing to see when I turned on the light and looked. Just red irritated welts with little puncture wounds. Also, I had to wash the kitchen floor when I first arrived because my socks kept sticking to it. This used to be a great motel - clean,... More

I think this probably is a family-owned motel. One section is 2-bedroom/kitchen suites, and the other section contains regular motel rooms. My husband and I, along with my elderly parents, stayed in the regular room. We wanted a non-smoking room, but they were all filled, so we had to take a smoking room. It stunk. The carpets were dirty, the... More
