Greta friendly staff great pricing, you get what you pay for
Very clean and quiet. I found it a bit expensive, but that's just bc it's Kamloops, everything in Kamloops is more expensive than other places. It's an older building, nothing flashy, but it's clean, secure, and the water pressure was good, which is all that matters. Would stay again.
The bed was very comfortable and room was well presented. Only drawback - a minor one - the toilet was a low-seater and for an older heavier tall person like myself hard to get up from.
I would not recommend staying at this motel. The room smelled like pee. The mattress and box springs were full of holes from cigarettes. The rug had stains. The door didn't seal properly and a breeze came through door. Very gross and disgusting room. If I could give the hotel a negative score I would. Plus I reserved a king bed but ended up with a double queen. The rooms are first come first serve.
I would never stay here again. Room smelled like smoke, there were even old cans outside a lot of the rooms for cigarette butts. Bedding must have been from the 70's - so old and threadbare. Way overpriced as well.
