Stayed a couple of nights in the lowest cost room over Christmas break. Clean, helpful staff, inexpensive, quiet. It met our expectations. The room has a bonus fridge, microwave and coffee maker; but no cups or coffee (although we didn't ask for them). Would stay again.

Fast easy check in reasonable rate for a family of 4 was. Room was clean the breakfast was pretty decent. There was a softball team or something staying there the parking lot was full but we never heard any noise it was really nice would definately stay here again if we are in the area. The one downside is google maps does not know exactly where it is lol

I did not stay here, but Shannon, working the front desk was extraordinarily helpful! I had to move a room full of furniture from the seniors lodge to a storage facility. The movers I had lined up didn’t show, at noon as they were supposed to. I had to be home, in Calgary that night, and did not have a truck or enough muscle to move all of her things. She kept the UHaul rental part of things open late to assist in getting a truck, and she posted online to attempt to get some moving assistance. Over and above! Very happy with all of my dealings in Drayton Valley!

I have stayed here many times for work, I usually stay in a room with a kitchenette. The rooms are updated, clean and have all necessary items. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful if you ever have any concerns. The Inn is reasonably priced (cheapest I have found in Drayton Valley) I highly recommend it if you are working in the area and need a place to call home for a few days. My last stay here they kindly upgraded my room, thank you! I will definitely be coming back when I am in this area.

Don’t let the outside appearance deter you. The rooms are all updated with vinyl plank flooring and fresh modern paint. The beds are comfy and the rooms are clean. We are up for a week for volleyball camp and the kitchenette was super handy. The staff are very friendly and super helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily unless you state otherwise. We will definitely be returning for a tournament in September.

The room was clean and nicely updated. We love that the floors were laminate and not carpet since we travel with our dogs. Love having a balcony. The owner and staff are really friendly. Will definitely stay here whenever we are in Drayton
