Lock in a great price for Lazy J Motel – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

We had a two bedroom suite (room 104) which had a king in the main room, queen and double in a separate room. Comfortable beds, roomy, very clean, good shower pressure, great coffee (believe it or not, Macdonalds!) with real milk and cream in the fridge, and the continental breakfast was extensive - without the usual overcooked eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes, etc. But there was a variety of cereals, fresh fruits, yogurt, bread/muffins/bagels, etc. Plenty of choices. There is a laundromat in the building. The family who owns and runs the Lazy J couldn't be more friendly and accommodating. It was obvious they wanted to do whatever necessary to make their guests feel welcome and well taken care of. I would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly owner, nice selection of breakfast items, comfortable bed, quiet rooms. Outside appearance looks a bit like a truckers’ stop, but as a senior female on my own I always felt very safe and comfortable. My family members stay here quite often when visiting our mother in Claresholm and we all like Lazy J!

I really enjoyed Johannes the owner and although the place might be described as dated, it is very clean well-cared-for, with lots of little extras. Each room has a fridge, they've supplied some dishes and a microwave. There is a nice breakfast in the morning. The people who own & run the place are very kind and gentle people.

Very friendly staff! Nice breakfast selection of muffins, many cereals, toast, bagels, English muffins, fruit... Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Not a ‘fancy’ motel, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

This is budget accommodation with an exceedingly warm welcome. There was everything we needed - and even those small touches we hadn’t realised we’d need. Everything clean and comfortable. We slept well. Furnishings aren’t modern, but what do you expect for budget price. The breakfast-to-go was excellent. If we are in this locality again, it’s our first choice. Great value.

The place is very much a truck stop motel so it's quite dated and rooms are very plain and tiny.
Staff are lovely and friendly. Decent continental breakfast. Later check out time (noon) was nice.

Family business - that’s this good feeling when entering this motel. Ok, the motel is a bit older, but it offers very clean rooms at a good price. I’ll definitely stay there again when I’ll be around. A great breakfast is being offered, too 😊

“The Lazy J met traveling needs very well!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
I wouldn't say I didn't like anything here, that's too strong. But realistically, this small-town hotel is not fancy and hasn't been extensively updated, so if that's what's super important to you, you will be disappointed. But, if you want someplace that is clean, with friendly service, and a place that will meet your traveling needs, the Lazy J is it.
