I have never in my life seen a cleaner hotel room. The rooms are small and sparsley furnished, but neat and clean, and the staff is really sweet.

So glad to have found this place! I stayed here for a one night stop on a longer road trip and it was perfect. It looks a little dated and perhaps a tad rundown from the outside, but the inside is recently updated, clean, and well kept. The staff were really lovely and helpful. Really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it!

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!
