Like the old saying goes, \"you get what you paid for\", and this was the case here. Pros: Room was clean, liked the addition of the small kitchenette area, liked the motel entrance rather than being up several floors in a hotel and fridge and freezer were larger than normal. Cons: beds were terribly uncomfortable, couldn't get air conditioning to work, crank window broken and not usable, only 1 pkg of coffee, kleenex box with perhaps 3 tissues in it, no vending, ATM or ice machine on site. Would have to go to Ramada next door to replenish or access items needed. But like I said, price was more budget friendly to my needs and matched what was received.

Nothing spectacular. Room was clean, bed comfy. Check in is in the Ramada next door. It is motel style, so parking is right at your door. The car wash next door was quite annoying. Thankfully it was not open too late. If you need a blow dryer, ask for one at the front desk. There aren't any in the rooms.

A small motel in mid-town Lethbridge suited our needs and the price was right.

In any accommodation, a competent bed and a clean room are the most important. Chinook does this well. It is an old building, and could use some maintenance, but everything works.

The front desk clerk at the nearby Ramada is cheerful and competent.

If this type of accommodation suits you, then i recommend it.

It was very nice overall. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, nice room layout. It however needs safety bars in the bathroom. I fell on the slippery wet floor (missed tge towel i put down as a mat). I was barely able to walk 2 weeks later and had some beautiful bruising. I literally could not get up because it was so slippery, the door opens inward and there just happened to be a fat old lady laying on the floor in the way of getting help. I really needed safety bars. The rooms are good value for a good price. I may have to pay more for the safety bar option from now on.

This property was a bit of hidden gem, as it's actually run by the Ramada just across the parking lot. So cleaning standards are at that level.

Property improved greatly since last time I visited. Yet, half of the rooms at Chinook are located close to a car wash, and there is a constant flow of vehicles flowing by. There is also limited breakfast choice-- heavy on protein, not that great for vegetarians. Furniture, bath tub, blanket, drapes, etc, show wear and tear, and so are towels. Price I paid/night is high considering.
