The Medicine Hat Villa
A garden terrace and outdoor fireplace on a budget rate
About this stay
An outdoor fireplace on the terrace is an unusual touch for a budget property, and it turns The Medicine Hat Villa's garden into a real evening spot once the prairie heat breaks in summer or the shoulder-season chill sets in. A shared kitchen backs up the continental breakfast for anyone stretching a stay or travelling with dietary needs, and the lounge and coffee shop cover the daytime lull between activities. Family rooms carry garden or city views along with private bathrooms and air conditioning, a real step up from a windowless budget box. The three-mile run to Medicine Hat Airport sits comfortably mid-range, and free on-site private parking rounds out a property built around value rather than amenities.

Our take
Budget travellers who still want a garden to sit in and an outdoor fireplace for the evening should look here over a plainer motel at the same price point. The shared kitchen is a genuine plus for anyone on a longer, self-catering stay. Guests wanting a pool, gym or full-service restaurant will not find them here, since the property's strength is the outdoor space, not indoor amenities.
- ✓Use the outdoor fireplace on the terrace in the evening, it is a rare feature at this price point in Medicine Hat
- ✓Ask for a garden-view family room over a city-view one if you plan to spend evenings outside
- ✓Bring groceries for the shared kitchen if staying more than a couple of nights, it cuts real cost off a budget trip

Why guests love itThe Medicine Hat Villa is a 2-star budget property, rated 7.9 across 630 reviews, with family rooms that look over the garden or the city. The shared kitchen is the practical draw for families on a longer stay, since simple meals keep the costs of a multi-night trip down. The garden, terrace and outdoor fireplace give everyone somewhere to sit in the evening, and free private parking makes arriving by car easy. I would book it for a self-catering family stop near the airport, about 3 miles away.
