I always stay at the western budget when I am in Ponoka. Its clean, hot water and beds are decent. It probably needs a reno, the carpets are a little run down. But I have stayed here since 2013 once or twice a year and I've never left unhappy. I find its also very quiet which is nice. And there's parking next door for trailers

So I booked this motel last minute for a wedding. I thought because it was last minute i would get what I paid for, but it was so much more than I thought. The place was very clean and the breakfast was great. The person manning the front desk was very kind and helpful.

I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the property was for a motel. The breakfast was great, and the price was excellent for what was offered. Tanya and the rest of the staff were very helpful, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

The staff were friendly at the front desk and were very helpful during the breakfast time in keeping the area well stocked. The rooms were clean and spacious and very cute with the light fixtures and fireplace in the corner. The beds were very firm as are the pillows. May not be everyone’s cup of tea, but fine for a one night stay. The breakfast was very good. Lots to choose from including fresh fruit, eggs, fresh baking and more.

The breakfast was great. The room was fine HOWEVER the mattress was horrible. It was like sleeping on a rubber coated piece of plywood. Also, when checking out, the front counter sign said they'd be back in 10 minutes. I waited well over 1/2 hr., went and had a coffee for another 1/2 hr and still no one there. Not good when having to deal with check out and a time schedule.
