Close to the water, friendly staff, I left 500$ in cash, my wallet, VR head set, gaming laptop, passport, on my dresser not expecting to get room cleaning done (normally I’m paranoid and lock it up near me when I travel. My room was spotless and my items were where I left it. Only down side was no matter what there was a wet smell, it wasn’t a deal breaker but staff did leave my windows open probably noticing the smell. Again my valuables were unsecured but the smell persisted. I did not complain, however they were fully booked it appeared so I doubt they would have been able to change me rooms. There was the shores walking distance from the area very peaceful, lots of amenities, liquor store, a really nice 24 hour gym across the street. And a pharmacy (incase you forget Tylenol or zofran for your hangovers). One other caviet when I booked I chose this place as they offered breakfast. There are no protein options, but they do have some decent store bought pastries and all the cereal and milk you can eat/drink. I mostly just grabbed a coffee and a muffin to go, I was hoping for eggs, even the cafeteria stuff, who knows maybe they will add it to their morning menu if enough people request it. But if I’m back in cold lake I will be returning to this hotel/motel.

We had a good stay. Bed was comfortable. Pillows not so much as I like firm pillows. Place was clean. It’s older but not in too bad condition. I would probably stay again in the future. Price was right.

My friend and I stayed at the dockside inn this weekend. Upon arrival, we were greeted right away by a sweet woman who checked us in. The room was very clean, there was a fridge, coffee maker, air conditioner. At night the area was very quiet. We had a wonderful stay!

Smokers please be considerate

The motel was great. Had everything we needed...except DECAF coffee. Our problem was with the smokers. It was beautiful weather and we loved to have our window open in the evening but we had to continually shut it because the smoke from the smokers around us kept coming in, all evening. Regular cigarette smoke was bad, cannabis smoke was even worse. Not sure what can be done about this as they have "the right" to smoke. Don't we also have the right to breathe clean air?
