Stayed at Bow Valley Inn 2 nights in early September. When I checked-in, the heavy set woman at the front desk had about as much personality as a rock. Very unwelcoming demeanor. Room on second floor was very simple, nothing special. The "views" that this hotel raves about were only available if you sat out in the main walkway in... more

We were looking for a reasonably priced ($100-$150) room that was clean and safe. That is exactly what we got. The Bow Valley Motel is easy access from Hwy. 1 and extremely clean with standard motel furnishings. Our room had a kitchenette with electric stove, small fridge and small table. more

Also, outdoor hot tub to relax at the end of the day. No food service at the motel, but plenty of pubs & restaurants close by. Also... more

Absolutely no personality at all, should not be working in the hotel business. The gentleman working should most definitely change... more

This was just what we wanted. It's a basic, comfy, economical place to stay. Close to restuarants and not a conference center in sight. It's like staying in a local's place. No amenities to speak of except for an outside hot tub, but it's clean and who's going to spend endless hours in a room when you go to a... more

Okay, maybe this isn't the swankiest place you'll ever stay, but for our needs it was ideal. The surrounding mountains provide a great view, there's a walking path along the river one minute away, and all the charms of downtown Canmore are right there at your doorstep. The office staff was very friendly and courteous and the room was clean.... more
