Unexpectedly needed to stop for the night in Blue River and had a wonderful stay! The lady at the front desk was an absolute delight, a ray of sunshine and so helpful. They accomodated my cat and we had a lovely stay! If I ever am in Blue River again, I will stay here again.

Looked rough. Needs renovations. Door casing was ripped off the wall and never replaced. Appeared that the door had been kicked in and no safety lock on the door. Had to stuff a chsorvunder the door knob. Booked online. Room was 14⁰c when we got there. Took forever to warm up. No amenities. No pop machines. Had to go to the PetroCanada for somethibg to eat before 9pm when it closed. Bed was comfortable. Expensive
