Mary's Motel

I have stayed here quite a few times. Some of the rooms are quite plain and dated but reasonable and some of the rooms disgusting. I mean DISGUSTING! Smells and looks like the carpet has been puked on 6 times. A splotch of black mold in the bathtub 4 inches in diameter. Semen stains on the furniture. Gotta love it.

Deserves 0 stars. We stayed in room 143 for 2 nights. The room was very dingy, beds were not comfortable, and everything smelled dirty. There were no proper curtains so didn’t feel private and at night, you could see everything outside the room, the street lights were on our faces all night. The carpets were stained and looked soooo gross. The bath towels were ridiculously small and stained, the sink was broken and dirty. No hot water in the shower, despite being winter and -3C outside. The shower sprays water outside the curtains, leaving everything wet, cold and gross. I felt disgusted overall. We travelled with a small dog. They charge a $25 pet fee per night. The reception guy said they would charge $40 for two nights if we paid cash. So, we went to find an ATM, and when I gave the guy a $50 bill he put it in his pocket, said thanks and left. Never again.

The TV channel selection is poor. The carpet was quite stained. The door didn't close all of the way. A little noisy. You could hear people walking around and in other rooms until well after 1:00 a.m.. The bed itself was comfortable enough. But it was too noisy hearing car doors opening and closing and the beeping of locking them, again until past 1:00 am. Maybe if the door had closed completely some of the sounds would have been more muted .We would not recommend and not stay here again.

We stayed twice within a week (it was the only hotel with availability on the long weekend) on our way to and from our destination. We were overcharged for what we received. The rooms were very dirty and smelled. There were bugs. They looked like the walls and doors had never been wiped down. There were lots of drips of who knows what. The floor was sticky, and there were long black hairs in the tub. The bed in our first room was comfortable and the second room was not. The pools are very warm but also very dirty. When I brought up how dirty our room was, the hotel owner claimed that there were new cleaning staff and did nothing to rectify the situation. The one good thing is the location. Located right beside the trestle bridge.

The location is amazing! Situated nicely next to the brewery and short distance to the downtown restaurants. The rooms are outdated and not cleaned very well. The staff is polite and will assist you with your needs. Overall a bit run down, but priced very low in a great location!

We would rather sleep in the car next time than stay here again. It’s old and very tired, but worst of all it’s dirty. The bathroom grout is dirty, taps are dirty … at best they get wiped, not cleaned, after each guest. There was something shiny on the carpet at the side of the bed … I’ll leave that to imagination. We didn’t take our shoes off until it was time for bed and we were reticent about getting into bed. In fairness, the sheets were clean but the pillows had a weird smell. Have to say, once bitten twice shy, next time we’ll give Mary’s a very wide berth. Awful, and I truly wish I’d read other reviews before booking, but management seem to ignore the reviews.

Gross. Very out of date furnishing. The bedspread looks 30 years old and has no fluff left in it and color is dull with age. Mice crawling in the walls. I used the shower and then slept in my car. Looks like the type of place that would have bed bugs. I would assume they make enough money each night to be able to afford to replenish the bedding once in a while and even do some remodeling or even just touch up paint a bit. What a hole. On a positive note, a brewery is next door and theres a couple taverns just a short walk up the street, so location is great. Guy at desk is also nice. They're cheaper than their competitors hotels but not worth it for the price.

Heat did not work in December! Filthy, bed covers stunk, new Canadian owners would not come out to discuss this the next morning. Don't give them your business,...They don't deserve it

For a budget motel it's adequate but still overpriced for the upkeep. Price of room was 150 I would not be complaining if was an 80 a night room. Old but some care has been taken. Sheet had some holes and indoor pool was noisy. Outside one ok. Customer service awesome! Place just needs a bit more attention.

Would rate less then 1 star if I could. I don't expect much from a cheap motel but WOW. Hair still in the shower from last guest food still in fridge also. Somehow even with all the doors and windows closed mosquitoes still get in. Room stinks, is filthy, couch and bed stained with I don't wanna know what. Ended up getting my air mattress ad blankets from my car and sleeping on them. Guy behind the counter was rude. If this is your only option for a hotel in Golden (as it was mine) save yourself the money and sleep in your car.

Uuughhh i hate writing bad reviews, but I hope this will save someone $130/night, and take a better motel in the area some business! the lady working the front desk was on her 3rd day, super new, and she was really nice, so the one star is for her! She was doing great given the amount of people that were in there complaining about their rooms etc! She was nice and friendly, and i am 100% positive that all of my complaints have to do with the housekeeping staff. *there was 1 towel in our room. no hand towels, face towels, bath mats etc. just one wimpy threadbare thing. when i opened it up, there was a crusty smear across it (I think/hope it was Alphagetty?!) so i took it to the front desk and showed her and asked for a full set of towels. She apologized and quickly went to the back and grabbed me a new one. Just one. Thankfully there was a lady in the waiting room who ALSO had no towels and had to come ask for some, so she was nice and gave me an extra from the stash she got. Yay! *another guest told me that there had been a large drug bust there the night before, in the room that she had just checked in to - when she got into the room it reeked, (not like marijuana, but like meth or something worse!) so she asked for a new room, and got a new one, however, when she went into that one, someone was already in there! So she was currently waiting for another (third) new room. Shitshow. *the pool was absolutely terrifying, but for some reason my travel partner decided to go for a swim. Upon getting out, he had 3 large welts/bites of some sort on his chest and back. (His own fault, i know. So gross.) *the housekeeping staff was rude. I asked front desk if could borrow their blow dryer, and she said someone from housekeeping would bring it right over. 40 minutes later, I flagged housekeeping down as he walked past my room, and he said i'd have to go get it from the guy in Room 151. Um. No. I don't think so. Can you imagine? Knock Knock - "Hi, stranger! It's my turn for the communal blowdryer!" No. So i told him "Um. No." and he went away, and in about 20 minutes, the nice man from Room 151 came over and gave me the blow dryer. Ugh. So weird. I have stayed in lots of motels, and i don't mind a bit of "character" or older furnishings/decor, etc - but i can't deal with half-assed stuff like 1 towel, toilet paper stuffed in the peep hole (wtf) ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M PAYING $130 / NIGHT! Anyways. The TV worked, so that was nice.

You get exactly what you pay for here, so the price is right. The room is not that clean, sheets look like they had not been changed from last guest, very wrinkly. But they had free wifi and cable TV and are within walking distance of great rest. So if you are looking for a cheap, decent enough place to stay, then this is your place. It could be worse that's for sure.

You know what - budget motels still can be good. We've stayed at a lot of places in Golden and If you accept that this place is not only affordable but crazy close to Whitetooth Brewery and launching distance to Kicking Horse, you'll find this place just fine. So we stayed here during the polar vortex from hell. The room we checked into felt "cold" and just couldn't get it warm. Not only did they move us right away, checked in several times afterwards to make sure we were comfortable and warm. Staff was very nice and helpful. Why only 3 stars? It's a budget motel! It's not the ritz. But it's a darn good one and we will definitely stay again. Recommend the deluxe rooms to have a bit more space and comfort.

Service was sooooo very friendly. TV took a bit understand but they coached me to get it working. I showed up late but likely seemed sketchy. No presumptions on their part, no problems caused. This place rocks !!!! Can't say enough good things. If you want mega cheap go to a hostel but if u require privacy this is the place to be, it can't be beat. I regret not catching the names of the staff but y'all are great. A++++++

I have stayed in many hotels around the world. I have to say this is the worst hotel room I have ever seen in North America. The front desk clerk was extremely rude and acted like he was doing me a favor. The room smelled horrible. The soap and shampoo were rancid, the toilet and bathtubs were dirty. The bedspread was filthy and the curtains were transparent. I had a bright light shining in my room all night. Stay away from this place and sleep in your car if you have to.

Nice enough place the twice that I've stayed for work. Both times my experience was nothing like the reviewers above. Also, price was very reasonable. Will stay there again.

I've never felt compelled to write an online review before - until I stayed at Mary's Motel. This motel was the worst motel I've ever stayed in. The carpet was razor thin and dirty. The towels were grey and worn down to almost nothing. The bathtub wouldn't drain. The mattress was droopy. The pillow cases had stains. It was a non-smoking room but it smelt of cigarettes. All the furniture was dirty and dated. I could go on... If the nightly rate was 55$ I wouldn't have been so disgusted but for 115$/night plus taxes I genuinely felt ripped off. This motel needs to be burnt down and be rebuilt. Its beyond repair. There are other very nice modern hotels available in Golden, albeit for more money but I'd say its worth it.

Great little place in the middle of mountains. The rooms had everything I was looking for and the guy at the front desk was so helpful. If I'm ever in Golden again, I'll stay here.

For 158$/night, no breakfast, no Splenda for coffee just the cheap crap, crappy ketchup package style shampoo, cheapest soap you can buy, worn out pillows and mattresses, wifi didn't work, tub didn't drain properly, sink stopper stuck, should be charging half as much...

We stoped for the night here after researching hotels in Golden on a bike trip through Canada. The rooms are nothing like the pictures on the internet. Terrible misrepresentation. Apparently they have remodeled a couple rooms so they could take the pictures. Bed springs squeak. Pillows are old worn out junk. There was mold around the tub in the bathroom. They have the fridge, microwave, tv and cable box all plugged into the same outlet. Great fire hazard. We would have left had we seen the rooms first!! There are good hotels in this town but this certainly isn't one of them!!
