Big Horn Hotel was absolutely lovely!! The room was quite spacious and clean. The front desk clerk was super nice as well. We also love that they are a Pet Friendly Hotel as we were traveling with our dog . Big Horn Hotel was a great stop and we slept really well on their comfy bed it made traveling through Canada enjoyable after a nights rest.

Asked nicely whether I could use their Wifi to download my email messages. Wifi is for guests only. Fair enough but not exactly friendly.
