Moose Jaw's BEST-KEPT Secret: Thriftlodge Deals You WON'T Believe!
Okay, buckle up buttercups! I'm diving headfirst into Moose Jaw's… well, let's call it "the enigma." You've probably heard whispers, maybe a few online murmurs, about the Thriftlodge Deals You WON'T Believe! And you’re right to be curious, because, listen, Moose Jaw has…vibes. And I’m here to tell you everything. Absolutely everything. (Don't judge me if I get side-tracked – I tend to do that.)
First off, Accessibility. They say they're working on things. "Facilities for disabled guests" is listed. And an elevator, thank goodness! But the devil, you know, is in the details. I really need to see this in action. I want to know how they handle wheelchair access, the ramps, are there enough accessible rooms (this is a must if you want to be taken seriously, Thriftlodge!). Call me skeptical, but I’m going to need a deep dive into this before I’m shouting praises. Now, on the flip side – the potential is there. I’m hopeful.
Now, let's talk Cleanliness and Safety. This is where things get interesting, because let's be honest, in the post-pandemic world, it's not just about a clean room; it's about trust. They list everything from "Anti-viral cleaning products" (good start!) to "Daily disinfection in common areas" (another good sign!). And the "Room sanitization opt-out" is a nice touch. But here's the thing: This is where the rubber meets the road. I want to feel safe. I want to see the staff diligently cleaning (and not just pretending, y'know?). More important is a strong focus on the little things, like staff health checks and sanitizing stations. I want to hear more about the people behind the safety, the culture of cleanliness. Because a clean room is one thing, a safe stay is another.
Okay, so, Dining, Drinking, and Snacking. This is where my stomach rumbles in anticipation. "A la carte in restaurant", "Asian cuisine in restaurant," "Buffet in restaurant," "Coffee/tea in restaurant," "Poolside bar," and a "Snack bar" – oh, my! It sounds like they're covering all the bases. However… I'm still a little unsure. The word "buffet" makes me a bit nervous (especially in the post-pandemic world). What does "Asian cuisine" truly mean? And the all-important coffee situation… is it that sad, lukewarm sludge I’m used to from roadside motels? Or is it a proper, decent cup of joe? This detail can make or break a morning. Bottom Line (and, listen you're going to get a lot of these from me…) I need to know more. I need reviews! I'm a sucker for a good coffee shop. If they get the coffee right, they've already won half the battle.
Services and Conveniences… Oh, Baby!: Air conditioning, but that is a given! But I'm looking for the little things. The elevator, the 24-hour front desk! That's a start. But a "Convenience store"? Now, that is a win! Seriously, when you're road-tripping, a quick grab-and-go is a lifesaver. And "Daily housekeeping" is essential (unless you really want to opt-out - see above! ). Contactless check-in/out, and a laundry service! SOLD!
For the kids… Babysitting service? Family/child-friendly? Again, details, details, details! What kind of activities? A playground? A decent pool? Or are we talking about, you know, a slightly less "adult" atmosphere?
Available in All Rooms… Whew, internet access, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a coffee/tea maker! Essential basics, yes. But the "desk" and "laptop workspace" are a thoughtful touch for anyone needing to get some work done.
The Spa/Relaxation Question. Okay, the tantalizing "Spa/sauna", massage, and fitness center! If these aren't what it seems, I may cry. But can I be honest? I am here for the indoor pool and the outdoor pool with a view, a sauna and a steamroom. This is what I’m really here for. I will be hitting the gym to work off all the delicious food too. This is where I need to feel pampered. This is where I unwind. I would be the first to book it.
Getting Around: Free car park. PERFECT! I love free parking!
Now, for the big sell!

Escape to Paradise: Unbeatable Deals at Hotel Vale Verde, Porto Seguro!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious, slightly-less-than-glamorous world of…Thriftlodge Moose Jaw! This isn't a luxury cruise, folks. This is real life. And in this case, real life involves a budget motel in Saskatchewan. Let's see what kind of chaos we can conjure:
Moose Jaw Meanderings: A Thriftlodge Odyssey (with a strong hint of questionable decisions)
Day 1: Arrival of the Slightly-Disheveled
Morning (and then some): Departure from… wherever the heck I'm coming from. Let's say, hypothetically, it's Winnipeg. That drive? Brutal. The prairies stretch on forever, taunting you with their flat, unchanging landscape. My emotional state mirrored the scenery pretty accurately: flat. Uninspired. Needed a good coffee. Found a Tim Hortons. Life improved marginally.
Afternoon: Arrived at the esteemed Thriftlodge. Okay, first impressions… the parking lot does not scream "luxury". It screams "budget-friendly," and maybe "last-minute motel choice." The sign looked like it had seen better decades. My heart sank a little. Then I saw the plastic chair next to a cigarette butt. This was the real deal. Check-in was efficient, bordering on curt. "Key card… pool's closed… have a nice day." Welcome to Moose Jaw, I guess.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The Room Reveal! Oh boy. The room. The room… well, it had a bed. Two, actually! And a TV that might work. The wallpaper? Questionable floral pattern from the early 90s. The carpet? Pray it doesn’t bite. There was a faint smell of… something. Mildew? Old sadness? Hard to say. But hey, it's clean enough(I'm going to pretend it is.)
- Anecdote: I tried to use the TV. After a solid 20 minutes of button-mashing, I managed to get a picture. But the only channels working, like seriously? CBC. And local shopping network. My soul began to wither.
Evening: Dinner. I figured, okay, I'm in Moose Jaw, let's do Moose Jaw. I've read about the tunnels, so I got a bite to eat… at the local Burger Baron. And honestly? It was perfection. Greasy goodness with a side of sweet, cheesy fries. It was exactly what I needed after the long drive and my underwhelming accommodations. I'm going to call it a win.
- Quirky Observation: While waiting for my burger (and dodging the overly friendly server - bless their heart), I observed the clientele. A mix of families, truckers, and people who looked like they'd seen some things. Moose Jaw, you weird, wonderful place.
Day 2: Tunnels, Trains, and a Trail of Disappointment (and a hint of Hope)
Morning: Tunnel Time! (Yes, I went to the tunnels. Because, Moose Jaw.) I'd read the stories: Al Capone! Smuggling! Secret passages! The tour started promisingly. The guide was pretty entertaining, I will give her that.
- Rambling: The tunnels were cool, I guess. It was dark, damp, and a little bit claustrophobic. Plus, a lot of the stories were… well, maybe embellished. The whole "Al Capone" thing? More of a guest star than a main player. But, you know, what do you expect? I'm pretty sure some of the staff weren't there. And what did that mean? Is Moose Jaw just a big, elaborate lie? No… No I can't deal with all of that right now. I wanted to believe.
Afternoon: Okay, after the slight letdown of the tunnels, I needed a pick-me-up. I decided to visit the Western Development Museum. I figured I'd learn something about the area, maybe feel a connection to Moose Jaw's history. Turns out, I knew more than I thought.
Evening Dinner at a local "fine dining" restaurant. I'm using the term fine dining extremely loosely. It was better than the Burger Baron, but just barely. I was starting to have a serious craving for vegetables, but I couldn't find any.
Day 3: Seeking the Sun (and a Way Out)
- Morning: The last morning. This one was a bit different. I was going to visit the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa, it was the last hurrah before heading out of town.
- Afternoon: Pack up and leave. The drive back? It's still a long one. And the prairies are still flat. But I'm not so flat anymore. Moose Jaw, you weird, wonderful, slightly disappointing, and unexpectedly charming town. I'll be back. But maybe not to the Thriftlodge. (Seriously, about the wallpaper…)
- Emotional Reaction: Relief. Mixed with a strange affection for the place. The Thriftlodge? Not my style. But Moose Jaw? I might just miss it.
- Opinionated Language: The Thriftlodge was fine for a place to lay my head, a solid, reasonable option. But that wallpaper? A crime. The tunnels were a bit of a letdown, but the Burger Baron? Absolutely iconic.
Post-Script:
This wasn't the most luxurious trip. It wasn't the most exciting. Heck, it wasn't even entirely pleasant. But it was real. And in its own weird way, that’s what made it special. Moose Jaw, you little prairie diamond in the rough. I'll be back. Eventually. Maybe. And yeah, maybe with a better budget next time. And a really good therapist to help me deal with all of that wallpaper.

Moose Jaw's Thriftlodge: The Whispered Wonders - "Deals You Won't Believe!" - A Messy, Opinionated FAQ
Okay, spill the beans! What's the BIG secret about the Thriftlodge? Is it REALLY that cheap?
Alright, alright, settle down! Yes, the whispers are true. The Thriftlodge in Moose Jaw? It's... well, let's just say my wallet has *loved* it. Loved it so much it's practically married to the place. I'm talking deals that’ll make you double-check your bank account (and then maybe triple-check the coffee pot in your room, just in case... you know). We're talking seriously budget-friendly. Think “weekend getaway that *won’t* bankrupt a single parent like myself” cheap. I've seen prices that made me giggle. Genuine giggle. It's almost suspicious! Sometimes I actually *expect* someone to jump out and yell, "GOTCHA!" But nope...just the charmingly worn decor and the sweet, slightly bewildered desk clerk (I swear, I think she’s been there since the dawn of time).
So, it's all sunshine and roses, then? What's the catch? There *has* to be a catch.
Okay, okay, back down to earth. Nothing's ever *perfect*, right? And the Thriftlodge is... let's call it "rustic". Think "Grandma's house, if Grandma also REALLY liked floral wallpaper and a slightly fuzzy TV picture." Honestly, if you're expecting the Ritz, you're at the wrong place (and probably lost). The amenities aren't exactly *luxury*. The pool might need a good scrub, the free breakfast is... well, edible. But hey, for the price? I've stayed in places that charged *twice* the price and offered *less*. Plus, I’ve learned to pack my own coffee. The coffee situation can be a little... hit-or-miss. Let's just say. I once had a mini-meltdown about the coffee situation at 6 am after a terrible sleep.
Tell me about the rooms. Give me the dirt. The *real* dirt.
Okay, the rooms. Ah, the rooms. Alright, here’s the raw truth: some are better than others. That’s just life, isn't it? You're not going to get a five-star hotel experience at Thriftlodge (nor should you expect it!). I've had rooms that were perfectly fine – clean, comfortable enough for a night or two, and the TV actually worked! Then there's *the other* room. The one with the mysterious stain on the carpet (don't ask), the slightly wonky toilet (fixed by a swift kick, naturally), and the view of... well, the parking lot. But honestly? Even in the slightly-less-glamorous rooms, I've *always* found it manageable. I’m a practical person, and I’m there for sleep and a shower, not a spa day. Bring some Lysol wipes, maybe a pillow, and you'll be golden. And *always* check the thermostat. It can get… *toasty*.
What about the location? Is it at least *convenient*?
Yes, the location is generally *decent*. It's Moose Jaw, so let's be real, you're not exactly going to be lost in a labyrinth of bustling city streets. It's usually pretty close to the main drag, close to the tourist stuff (the Tunnels of Moose Jaw? Recommended! Just don't claustrophobe!). Parking? Plentiful. You're not squeezing into a tiny space like you're playing Tetris with a car. It’s convenient enough to get you where you need to go--unless you accidentally take the wrong turn *again* like I did last time and ended up in a field. You'll be fine.
What about the staff? Are they friendly? Helpful? Do they *care*?
That's the thing! Often, yes! Sometimes, you get the "been there, done that" look. But mostly, I've found the staff at the Thriftlodge to be... genuinely *nice*. They're not always jumping up and down with blinding enthusiasm (again, think "rustic" – don't expect a red-carpet welcome), but they're usually polite, helpful, and seem genuinely happy to help. I had a mini-crisis once – locked myself out of my room at 3 AM (don't ask) – and the night clerk, even though he looked like he’d been watching TV all night, was perfectly pleasant about it and got me sorted out. He didn't judge my sleep-rumpled appearance, which was a true gift. So yeah, the staff gets a thumbs up from me.
Okay, the breakfast. Let’s talk about the infamous "free breakfast." What horrors await?
Alright, alright, the breakfast. It's free. That's the first thing to remember. And it... exists. Think basic continental: toast (possibly slightly stale), some kind of sugary cereal, maybe some sad-looking pastries. The coffee, again, can be… an experience (bring your own, I beg you!). I’ve generally found it edible enough to get me going in the morning. Once, I tried the waffle maker. It was a sticky situation. Literally. I'm fairly certain I left a waffle-shaped imprint on the non-stick coating that remains to this day. My advice? Manage your expectations. If you're starving and have low standards (like me!), it does the trick. If you're a breakfast snob, hit up a proper diner.
What about the pool? Is it worth a swim?
Look, the pool. It’s there. Sometimes it's open. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes it looks like it might have been cleaned... recently. I'm not a huge pool person, so I'm probably not the best judge. I can't say I've ever been *desperate* to swim in it. It's not exactly the Four Seasons, folks. Let's put it that way. If you’re traveling with kids? Maybe they'll love it. Pack some goggles, bring some bleach, and hope for the best. (Kidding… mostly).
Is it REALLY THAT MUCH CHEAPER? Give me a specific example.
Okay, buckle up, because I have a story. Last summer, I was looking for a last-minute weekend getawayMountain Stay
