I'm a contractor doing work in the Brooks area for the last 3 months. The LOA (Living Out Allowance) isn't that great, and the chain Hotels here are all around the $110-140/nt bracket. The Plains is an older styled motel, but it's clean and half the 2/3 the price of the other guys. Standard single is $75 and a kitchenette... More

Mangaement and Staff of the Plains Motel would like to thank you for your review. We strive to keep a clean, quiet motel. We are not fancy so we can keep our rates reasonable. We prefer to put our money into functionality versus esthetics. We hope to see you again soon. More

I spent $84 +tax for the least expensive, single room. The room is very small and does not look good. The room and whole hotel is definitely in need of maintenance - cracks in paint, marks etc. The air conditioner is awfully noisy and so is the small fridge. You can get forget the peaceful quiet night's sleep unless you... More

I found the night shift, front desk lady to be rude, unpleasant, and difficult to deal with. The rooms were OK for the price, but the housekeeping could do a better job. I frequently stay at hotels on business trips all over Alberta, and I find the Plains motel to be sub-par with their competition. I would only recommend staying... More

We stayed at the Plains Motel just before Christmas. The room was clean and quiet, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the price was great. We had loads of fun in the pool and sauna, and will definitely stay at the Plains again if we come back to visit the Bad Lands. More

August 2010 - We stayed here because of the reasonable access (1 1/2 hrs) to Drumheller and didn't want to go further after driving for 11 hours. Upon arrival we were told that we were updated to a kitchenette because of no standard queen rooms left (we had reserved this 3 months prior so found this strange). The motel overall,... More

We've went to have a swim in the morning (the only reason we stayed there), only to find the pool opened at 11:00 am, same as checkout time. We spent our money for nothing and would not advise this place to anyone!!!! When I made my reservations, I checked to ensure the pool would be open and warmed up, they... More

We are sorry that you were unable to swim but our pool hours are clearly marked in the office as well as on the motel information sheet in your room. If you had asked about the hours when booking we would have happily told you that they are !!AM to 10PM. We are a small motel with little staff and... More

After being offered smelly, dirty, old, "broom closets" at exorbitant rates in neighbouring communities, we were certainly glad that we decided to move on down the road and try Brooks. We regularly road trip throughout Canada now that we are retired, and the Plains provided us with likely the cleanest room we have had the pleasure of staying in that... More

This is an easy-to-find motel with clean and quiet rooms and courteous, professional service. We made a reservation ahead of time (we were travelling as a couple) and found the check-in and check-out process to be quick and easy. The rooms were attractive, spacious, comfortable, and clean. The rooms have cement walls, so they were also very quiet despite being... More
