A great highway stop while travelling into Salmon Arm, best price for the best quality compared to other local establishments. Very pleasant greeting, comfortable and cozy room in the back (not facing the highway!) and great amenities on offer (tv, wifi, coffee). Great for an overnight where we needed to start fresh early the next day!

Great location to stop over on long trip as it is right on the Trans-Canada highway. May be a bit noisy if your room faces the highway. Could use extra blankets in the room as it was mid May when we stayed.

Actually a very nice place. Clean, well maintained and quiet. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 rating is because it is somewhat isolated. Not much around in the way of services.

Very nice place to stay- keep in mind to call if checking in after 8 pm. Just common courtesy for these smaller hotels as they need sleep too. 🤗 5 min drive to the water side at Canoe

Our room was nice and clean, comfortable beds and decent bathroom. The kitchenette didn't have any dishes or supplies of any kind which made our takeout food hard to manage. Very affordable and picturesque, but bring your own supplies.

There was no fridge in the room other than a full size one not in use. The pillows should be replaced. Overall it was livable but very basic. Good place to stay on a budget if you just need a bed for the night.

The room was clean. There was nothing about the room that was unsatisfactory. Just very plain. The beds were “ creaky”. Some new mattress would be a good idea. Otherwise I would recommend for the a lower end price
