When I checked in, the person on the desk knew my story, from the details of the booking, and had considered this in choice of room. He also let me know that I was in that particular room because I had my dog with me (details of the booking), and it was easy access to walking trails for me and my dog!! Above and beyond, I think. He also recommended a restaurant, since theirs was closed for the season. The room was clean, and had clearly been "updated", but could use more work. For my needs, it was just fine. I had a good, comfortable sleep. If it had been summer, I could have sat outside on the step, where there is a table and two chairs. Nice touches.

Brilliant location! Friendly staff! Yes the outside is not the best looking but once inside the rooms are amazing! Has everything you need in a room! To be fair this is our 8th hotel/motel since landing in Vancouver and this by far beats all the other places! The restaurant attached in the morning was very very busy and I can tell why! The food is amazing.

The outside looks a little run down but please don't let that put you off!

I had a short surgery at the Drumheller hospital. Badlands Motel is literally right beside the hospital. Very convenient for day surgeries. It was very clean, quiet and the beds comfortable. There is a restaurant onsite open for breakfast/lunch with good food. Also, we couldn't figure out the TV & motel staff came to our room and showed us how to use the two remotes.

It is an old & dated place, which wasn't something we "didn't like". I only mention it because if you are looking for luxury this is probably not the place for you. For us, it was about convenience, which it provided. The fact it was very clean, quiet and comfortable made up for the aged and dated rooms.

Very friendly staff who are happy to accommodate you like providing a kettle although all rooms have a mini fridge and microwave. Excellent location, near everything and 5 min from the Tyrell Museum. Comfortable beds, pillows, great towels, tasty complimentary coffee in the room and very hot water and nice shampoo. Quiet, slept like a baby. Yes it is an older place but they do their best to make it cozy. I believe renovations are being done in some of the rooms. It is a standard motel where you park in front of your room. There's a gas station on the corner you can walk to for convenience items. Highly recommend the breakfast at their log cabin style restaurant (see image) open 7-2 pm. We'd return if visiting again. Picnic table under trees in an open area behind the motel. Great Chinese food at the Sizzling Kitchen nearby.

The rooms were just what we expected for a budget motel, very basic. There were a few cosmetic issues but nothing that impacted our stay in anyway. Everything was visibly clean, but we had wipes and wiped down all of the high touch areas. The beds were very comfy. And the very generous size bar fridge was a great addition. The motel was quiet and we felt very safe. The on-site restaurant was amazing and was extremely busy with locals (which is always a good thing!). We travelled with a dog and there were no issues whatsoever, very pet friendly (offering us a dog blanket for our pooch. Remember, this isn’t the Hilton, it’s a motel, adjust your expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

Great location,dog friendly,clean,comfortable beds, we love the restaurant, great view also.

I would like to see those rooms renovated one day, .

The room was very clean and nicely updated with newer carpets and laminate flooring. The kitchenette was fully supplied and the room was spacious. The table and chairs on the patio were a nice touch!

The beds were a bit creaky and not the most comfortable, but they were ok. There was an air conditioner and a fan, but both were quite loud (although they did work). My biggest frustration was that the bathtub plug did not work so I couldn’t give my toddler a bath.

The price was good, the staff was very very nice. This is a BASIC clean Motel. Location is perfect for anyone going to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum as it is located on the same road. We booked the Badlands Motel because it was the best priced accommodation for the date we wanted. We were going to attend a play at the Rosebud Theatre. The breakfast offered in the Motel Restaurant is wonderful and guests get 10% off.

The price, location, staff, breakfast.

The rooms are what you'd expect for a motel of this sort, and that's just fine. The price was right, everything was clean, the service was excellent, the staff were helpful, the AC kept the room very nice and cold (as I prefer it), WHIFS Flapjack House (attached to the motel) is a good breakfast spot, and the motel's location is perfect for those that are looking to visit Drumheller's biggest attraction (within 7km of the Royal Tyrrell Museum). We will be booking at the Badlands Motel when we next visit around Halloween for the Ghostwalk, Seance, and other assorted seasonal activities.

Not too much to complain about, honestly. Some might feel that the rooms are dated, but that's part of the charm for me. Things might be a tad old, but they're clean and kept up well. It's a good spot, and it won't burn your bankroll to get a place to lay your head for a couple of nights while you see the sights.

Love that we got 3 rooms close together and that we could go outside with the kids and let them run it off. We could then have them napping and we sat outside with a monitor. Way easier than being in a hotel when you have kids.

The air conditioner did not work in the room we were given…but at 11 pm he let us know that someone had not checked in so we got to move rooms. Accommodating when needed.
