This is a fantastic place to stay if you are on a budget. The rooms are well equip with everything you may need for a good stay. The reception desk has anything extra you may need like a toothbrush or iron etc... Friendly staff and really convenient to main street Canmore. Far away from the rail way tracks and I... More

We have stayed at the Bow Valley Motel about a dozen times since 1995 and were never disappointed. It is an older motel, but rooms are nice and clean and have been refurbished on a regular basis. It is centrally located on main street downtown unlike most other properties in Canmore. They also accept pets, which is important for us,... More

I read the reviews before my stay here and I agree with most of the comments, excellent location, very clean rooms, very friendly staff at the reception (Karla). The only drawback during my one night stay was that it wasn't a quite night. You could here people walking/running in the hallway and it seemed to me that there was people... More

Low cost sort of place with superb service personnel, center of a fantastically beautiful town, clean rooms and right on miles and miles of walking/jogging paths. Dog friendly too! Close to many great restaurants including a Brazilian and a brew pub (unusual for Canada). Large flat screen TV. Hot tub is gone though. Service staff can give you good advice... More

First time in Canada and this was a great stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Many touristy attractions very close and easy to get to. It was a very inexpensive stay. The rooms were always clean and always cozy. Look forward to staying there again on my next venture to Canada. More

It's not fancy but the price is right and you get what you pay for. My kids enjoyed the large flat screen and good tv reception. Canmore is a good location if you're in the area on a ski vacation and looking at saving $ on accomodations, compared to pricier Banff. This motel is not a place for a romantic... More

The Bow Valley Motel is in a great spot downtown Canmore. The rooms are clean and you can walk to any restaurant. The price is right too. One tip, bring your own pillow. More

This elegant little gem is water-front on Canmore's Policemen's creek -just at the edge of downtown. You can walk anywhere there easily, yet it is out of the way enough that you can avoid the (still quite tame) nightlife just a block farther down the main street. The rooms are clean, the art is beautiful, the bed's feel great; firm... More

Our family spent Christmas here and it was an excellent stay. We loved the well-equipped kitchen, the price was right and the view was awesome! The motel is clean and the staff are casual and friendly. It is located on the beautiful creek and a stone's throw from downtown shops and restaurants. The 'Murphy' bed (folding into the wall) in...

Although at Christmas motel rates tend to rise, this motel gave us the preferred rate because we had made the booking several months previous. This motel is a hidden treasure. It is at one end of Canmore's main street so everyone loved it for its access to shopping at the many shops and boutiques in town. Although it is older... More
