Happy Salmon was a great stopping point on our journey. It is very basic, but clean and well cared for. The host (who was very sweet) recommended Canoe beach which is within driving distance. What a beautiful beach! We will certainly return!

Excellent value for the money. Halfway point between Calgary and Vancouver, public beach nearby. If you are looking for an efficient stop over with clean beds and AC, and you aren't traveling with pets, the Happy Salmon is a great option!

Stopped here for 1 night en route to Banff. We chose this motel due to convenience, value and good reviews. Despite its unassuming appearance we were pleasantly surprised with the room. It was immacularely clean and simply but tastefully appointed.. perfect room for respite on our journey.

This is a side of the road motel, which is fine if that is what you are looking for. It was clean and the rooms were big. However you can’t open the windows and the air conditioning is so so noisy so it feels really overbearing to sleep there.
