Acorn Motel - Grande Cache, AB

Essa R.

Basic hotel. Kitchenette has a mini fridge, sink, and hot plate. Clean. No elevator, so be prepared to carry your bags up 1-2 storeys.

Breakfast is included but we ended up eating elsewhere. Toast, cereal, toaster pancakes and toaster waffles, and fruit. Coffee was weak. Only enough seating for 6 people in the breakfast room, but most people were tradespeople taking their breakfast to go.

Walking distance to almost all of Grande Cache, including a grocery store 1 block away.

Older motel but extremely clean
My room has a kitchenette and a separate bedroom. Staff very friendly
Free breakfast is ridiculous, has coffee and cereal and frozen waffles. Nothing else.

Three start rating. The beds are trash. The TV speakers are blown. Some of their rooms smell so stale that a freshly bought room freshener could fix.

Stayed here for work for 9 nights and I had a pretty good experience! I somehow ended up with a suite so that was pretty awesome. I loved that the rooms came with a kitchenette! That was incredibly nice for someone who was in town for work! Also you can’t beat the location at all! You are across the parking lot from the grocery store and many other things! Continental breakfast is very basic with cereal, frozen pancakes and waffles, toast, juice and coffee but it was always well stocked. Only negative things I experienced was that when I had hot showers, my shower “screamed” a high pitch squeal and I know my coworkers said the same thing as well. Also there was no fan in my bathroom so I was worried that there is very likely mold or will be mold in that bathroom very soon. I know when I first arrived I was a little confused because the “first floor” is actually up the stairs and this hotel is NOT accessibility friendly as there are only stairs, no elevator! Either way, I would stay here again for work for sure.

After reading reviews I’m thinking maybe I got a bad room lol.
2nd floor room was super hot but that’s ok. They’ve got nice AC and cools down the room.
Lots of people mention the cheap breakfast which is exactly that. There was no juice my first 2 mornings.
The place seems clean and the staff were pretty friendly
My bed though … the absolute worst bed I have ever slept in. I found sleeping with my head at the foot of the bed and feet at the head board worked best as the bed tilts down and to the side and is badly sunken in. Such a bad back ache while staying here.
Pillows were really heavy and lumpy and the shower …. Great shower except for the fact it seemed as someone was in the washroom with you flushing the toilet constantly. It would go through a hot to cold cycle every …. 15 seconds.
I kept trying to time the warm cycle because the cold cycle was cold.
Based on the bed, pillows and the hot cold cycle in the shower …. I wouldn’t not stay here again.
My back just can’t take that bed

A real gem. The room surprised me on several points. First, let me say it was very clean and the staff are all exceptional. From the outside, the building looks a little old, but once inside the room, it is very lovely. I have stayed in a lot of hotels, and this one rates very high, especially when you factor in the cost. We'll worth checking out. Oh, and they are pet friendly for those of you traveling with your service dog or pet.

Loved staying here and hope to again. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating, even offering things that I didn't think of (larger bags for ice etc.). Was fantastic staying with my dog. Easy access to a nice green space across the parking lot (just remember to bring poop bags please!). Stayed in room 125. Kitchenette was perfect to enjoy meals in and enjoyed having a freezer and a decent size fridge. Nice views and air conditioning was very appreciated. Great location with anything you need in very close walking distance.
