We came to Ponoka for the Top Gun Horse Sale the Motel was very busy as we all showed up and left at the same time. The rooms were clean and spacious the staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was good and they kept up with the coffee. Didn’t use the kitchen. But will consider it next stay. In a situation like this be the first to shower in the morning when the water is hot!

The hotel is so much cleaner than a few years ago, the staff is friendly. Why do you not have a hand towel in the sink area to dry your hands, we should not have to use the bath towel to do this.

They literally have Expedia ph# for you to sort things out on hand. I specified Pet friendly the ENTIRE way through the booking to get there and the staff (amazing!) spent 30min sorting it out for me so I wouldn't be charged by Expedia because they didn't book a Pet friendly room.

Rooms are decently clean. The staff is very kind. Only downside is the comfortability of the beds and the breakfast was pretty limited most mornings. But overall it's convenient and average to stay at.
