This was a great place to stay in Cochrane. The location is next to a big park, the staff were friendly and courteous, the room was clean, large and equipped with a coffee maker, fridge and microwave. In particular, we loved the fact that the bathroom had a roomy shower and proper full bathtub. We would definitely stay here again.
