I was heading home from Edmonton when a snow storm hit so I decided to take shelter for the night. I was very impressed with this business. The rooms were newly renovated and everything was exceptionally clean. There Is a restaurant/bar on the one side of the building as well. I was very impressed with how clean and well kept it was also. All of the staff I met were very friendly. The one gentlemen even helped me clear the snow from my truck the following day as there was a heavy snowfall and he noticed me struggling with it. Prices were very fair and I would highly recommend to others.

My suite was clean, which was nice. There was laundry room down the hall, place was convenient at the time. Unfortunately I got into a relationship with the manager at the time, ended horribly. Lesson learned. The new owner is generally a nice gal, just hope you find someone that can handle the position without addictions. Congratulations on beautiful new business.

My wife and I had a wedding nearby to attend and decided to give this place a try. We must say that we were pleasantly surprised. Jason and the staff keep this place in amazing condition. The room we ended up with was on the ground floor and it was nice and tidy. The overall experience was above and beyond what we were expecting. We both had a great sleep as there was little to no noise. If you stay here, you must try the food next door as it is simply amazing and large portions. Thank you to all the staff for a great stay and we will be sure to return when we are out that way again.

We were attending an Assembly in Onoway and found this Inn online. The lady who helped us check in was very nice. We needed a few items for our room and she was very quick at getting us towels, iron, and ironing board. You may need to request for a blow dryer, extra hangers, and a mat for inside the tub. They are quick to respond to your requests. It is an older Inn, we stayed on the ground floor and could hear the people above us. Just a little note. Will stay here again.

Checked in for one night and was so pleased with this place! Staff are super friendly and kind, rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable (with a luxurious bath tub, to boot!) and the pub on the property is lovely, bright, and cheerful with delicious food and amazing staff! Came for a quick pitstop but might just come back for a cozy weekend. Super charming and lovely! 10/10!

We've stayed here a couple times now. We've always enjoyed our stay. Jason is a great guy; he's super friendly and has gone above and beyond. The rooms are always very clean and tidy; a little warm but nice

I have been staying in this motel for years. We have an annual convention in Onoway every summer and this is my go to place. Jason is such a good host and he's always available. It's conveniently located and they have a restaurant attached. Also, the rooms are always clean and nicely renovated. Very comfortable and I will continue to come here as long as possible. AND IT'S PET FRIENDLY!

Quaint motel. Newly renovated. Has everything we needed for a great night sleep. Very close to the assembly hall of JW. Reasonably priced. Owner, Jason, was very friendly & quick to respond when we needed more towels. Feels more like staying at a friend’s house than a hotel, which leaves a very warm, cozy feeling. Definitely will stay again. If you are a JW not from this area & are looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend this cozy & very clean motel.
