Swimming pool, a/c, fireplaces, kitchenettes, jetted tubs, WiFi. Western Budget Motel is the quick-stop counterpart to its long-stay sibling. It’s built for people who want to roll in, crash comfortably, and roll back out without paying for bells and whistles they’ll never use. Rooms are plain but practical, usually with mini-fridges, microwaves, and enough space that you’re not tripping over your own boots. Parking’s easy, check-ins are straightforward, and the location keeps you close to Highway 43 for a clean getaway.

Think of it as the short-haul pit stop in the family lineup — simple, serviceable, and priced to keep your wallet from weeping. Between this place and Western Long Stay across town, most travellers can find a fit whether they’re in Whitecourt for a day or a month.
