Sundown Motel

Awkward check in as no one on-site. Rooms need cleaning and updating. Stayed 2 nights but moved for the next 2 nights.

Room was clean but very old. Needs a lot of updating No safety features like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors

This place was clean but the shower did not work. There is a train line right beside it but the last train I heard was before 9:30 p.m. and I heard a huge truck go by before that as well. It seems quiet after that and I got a really great night sleep and was not awakened by any other noises. I didn't actually really mind my stay here but the price was a little too much for it.

Simple, clean, no frills motel that is exactly what you need if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay in town. Friendly staff and nice, cool rooms in the summer.

I booked (and paid in advance) for a 4 night stay at the Sundown Motel because my first choice (the Super 8) was fully booked. There are only 2 options in Watrous and the area is a popular tourist destination. When I arrived at 5:00 PM there were no cars in the parking lot. The office was open but the phone instructions were useless (no one answered) and the other phone number taped on the office window was no help either. I finally decided to go to the Super 8, hoping that maybe someone had cancelled. Luckily for me the 2 facilities are linked in some way and the extremely helpful Super 8 manager was able to make me a key for my room at the Sundown Motel. He also accompanied me there to make sure the key worked, which it did. Shortly thereafter a family with 3 kids arrived, who also thought that their reservation would be honoured. Somehow they managed to find someone who could help them. Issues that arose over the following 4 days included no coffee (I had to buy a jar of instant coffee) and when the coffee did appear, one morning there were no cups. The bed was never made, except by me and the towels were never changed. The desk "chair" was not adjustable and I had to pile two pillows on it to work on my computer.

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The check in and out process was fast and easy. Lots of parking. Room was clean and had a nice shower. Bed was comfortable. Pet friendly was a big plus. Watrous is a lovely town to walk in the evenings and a very short drive from the many attractions at Manitou Beach. Recommend!

It's an older motel with small rooms. We were there on a very hot day. The air conditioner kept the room nice and cool. The beds are comfortable. If you are looking to just get a good nights sleep it is quiet and comfortable.

Beds clean and comfortable. Bathroom clean. Carpet old and tattered. Floor uneven, sloped, soft spots. Needs major update. Bathroom window falling out. Way overpriced for condition.

Stayed for work and quite and relaxing place.
