very impressed with the appliances in my suite. full size fridge, stove & oven, even had plates, pots, and cutlery. had seperate rooms for the 2 beds. however the quality of the place could be better. shower was rusted or stained, blankets has cigarette holes and some stains on it. overall good place to spend a night. management was friendly.
Good beds, fast Internet and a low price. What more can you ask for. The Manager was also very friendly. If I ever need a bed in the area again there is no question I will be back.
My stay at the hat motel has been quite wonderful for such a low end and affordable place of lodging. The owners and the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The room although small , was clean and equip with everything one needs to live comfortable although not in luxury. The motel is located on the SE hill in Medicine Hat which is in my opinion the most convenient area in the city to locate anything from the highway to downtown or your family doctor or child's school. Overall the experience here is commendable and i would recommend it to any traveler in need of a place to stay.
It looks bad from the outside, but it's clean, it's functional, the owner is friendly and nice, and the price is juuuust right! I stayed for one night, the lady was very nice and had no issue with my money or anything, I got my refund, she was professional as was I. I would recommend this place for long term guests like out of town workers and locals who can't afford rent.
Owners are awesome. Known them for quite a few years now. Comfy places to stay and well maintained since the previous owners
Great stay here with a kitchenette . The room was smelling pretty clean indeed we were impressed! I would recommend this motel to anyone and the parking is close to the room . Shopping is close by and you can easily stay here comfortably for a week or two.
My room was clean and neat. There was a nice kitchenette with a fridge and stove as well as some plates and cups in the cupboards for me to use. The wifi was strong and the owners were friendly.
The place is great. Location could be better. But overall, the staff always give their best. The housekeeper is their greatest asset.
