What are you requirements? A bed in the YMCA?
Camping space? Good place to park your car to sleep?
Best county to pick a fight to spend the night in jail?
1 star motel? 4 star resort? B&B?

Hi

Is your intent to find a place which will have you on your way
immediately to Waterton? If so, there are two hotels close to city
limits south and right by a huge shopping centre in case you want to
load up with some food/ snacks/ drinks etc.
I forgot the names but can drive by probably on monday.
Then, there are various ones on Macleod Trail south; the higher the
number the more south, which is what you probably want. But, what type
of "luxury" do you expect; that is the question

Not everyone speeds. It is more like a 3 hour drive; about 280 k.m.
I ckecked various websites; they confirm this.
