“Very comfortable and reasonably priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

In an attempt to avoid the outrageous lodging prices in Jasper National Park, I drove 40 miles outside the park to stay at the Nova Inn in Hinton, AB. It was worth the drive. The price was very reasonable ($109 US), the hotel was relatively new, and the employees were very helpful. Having some time to kill, I asked the lady at the front desk what there was to see in Hinton. She pointed me towards the Hinton Beaver Pond, a large pond with viewing stations from which one can closely observe a beaver lodge as well as the beaver's dam. If lucky (which I wasn't), you can even see the beavers going about their daily activities.

The room itself was good-sized and very quiet and clean. Overall, I would strongly recommend this hotel. I tend to be a fan of local hotels versus the big chains. This hotel was no exception.

“Nice accomodations.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 9, 2012

We stayed at the Nova Inn for 2 nights while visiting Jasper & Miette. We found the rooms clean & well stocked with towels, shampoo, soap ect. No stale smell. Pillow cases were not ironed, but not a big deal, it just would have looked a little nicer. Very reasonable rates. Great little kitchenette, we only used the fridge, but everything you would need was there, including a corkscrew. The breakfast was basic, omlettes & breakfast wraps (to be heated), frenchtoast & waffles (for the toaster), juice, coffee, toast, cereal. What more do you need. My only complaint was the pool area. The hot tub could have been warmer, the pool itself could have been warmer & we noticed that there needed to be maintainance on the room itself. The railing to the hot tub was not bolted securely to the floor. (dangerous if you need it for safety), The door frame was in very sad shape & in need of repair. We would definately stay here again.

“Liked This Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2012

The hotel was clean and the front desk was very friendly. Free WiFi. Pool wasn`t working while we were there. Right on the main road so it is easy to spot and get in and out of. Lots of stores and places to eat close by. Well stocked kitchen for families who don`t want to eat out. Stayed one night on our way to Edmonton.Would stay again.

“Clean rooms, great price and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

We were recently travelling from BC to AB and ended up in Hinton with two tired kids and no reservations. We found a one-bedroom suite at Nova Inn for $120. For such a low price, it was surprisingly clean and tidy and in great shape. Everything worked well and we were impressed by the well-stocked mini-kitchenette. The best part: the price included a continental breakfast! (It was nothing fancy but definitely nicer than buying breakfast somewhere else.) All the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stop here again!

Room Tip: We stayed in 404 in a one bedroom suite. Didn't seem to be used much, in great shape and very cl...
