⭐️⭐️ "Budget Motel: Where Expectations Go to Nap"
If you’re looking for somewhere cheap-ish to crash in Calgary, this motel will technically get the job done—for $120 a night, which in today’s economy apparently counts as a bargain.
The room was clean enough, no horror stories there. But the plumbing? Oh, the plumbing was on its own journey. The sink and bathtub were more like birdbaths—water went in and decided to stay awhile. Maybe forever. It was less "draining" and more "marinating."
The bed was… there. Not the worst, not the best—just a firm reminder that you're not at home. Think "slightly upgraded futon" vibes.
The real kicker? The property itself was visibly dirty. The carpets looked like they’d seen some things and weren’t ready to talk about it. Nothing dangerous, just very… tired.
Bottom line: you get what you pay for. If you need a place to sleep and you have low expectations (or a good sense of humor), it’ll do. Just don’t expect luxury. Or decent plumbing.
