Can Anyone Tell Me the names of cheap motels in edmonton AB, CA?

Question

looking for around 40-60 dollars a night

Answer 1

You could try contacting residence services at the University of Alberta. They have a few rooms/dorms reserved for anyone just looking to spend a night or two.

Of course you aren't guaranteed a vacancy, and because it is in a school after all, you can't go all out and party, and it won't be as nice as ordinary motels.

Answer 2

You're not likely going to find anything that cheap in Edmonton, unless it's a fleabag motel.  You may be able to find a bed and breakfast within that price range.  You'll find a link to Edmonton hotel/motel listings below.  I've stayed at the EconoLodge Southwest and paid only $75/night and it wasn't a bad place to stay.

Answer 3

I pulled up all the most reasonable places you could get accommodations in Edmonton. Forget cheapie motels - they aren't in your price range and even if they were you definitely wouldn't want to stay in them.
