I was concerned about this property from previous reviews. But it was great service, pool was wonderful, the bleeding was top notch and my deposit was immediately returned to me when I checked out.

Great spot but not good for customer service, there was rarely anyone at the desk and I didn’t get an answer when I called the number on the note they had on the locked door that said “call if needed” but, great location and great room!!

This place is a gem if you are looking for cheap
This place has the worse customer reviews. But overall I don't mind the place. It is a bit dirty and grungy. But very functional. I have a full size kitchen with toaster and coffee maker and a legitimate oven with cooktop. Full size fridge. The pool out back is kept clean and looks fairly nice. There are BBQs onsite as well. Overall good place for the money spent.

I loved the area, it's convenient. The creek is beautiful with the sound through the window. The property has so much potential! The staff was so friendly, especially the young man at the front. It is definitely run down, and could use some updates. But the beds were comfy, it was warm and cozy! It was quiet and I had a great sleep!

The deluxe room is very spacious but so run down with a broken closet door, 2 knobs missing, precarious ceiling fan with a bare bulb. The light flicked in and off in the double bed room and some broken blinds. It was so run down but actually completely clean.
The pool was dirty and some guests decided to get to the equipment and cleaned it but also put chemicals in and openly said that the test called corn10 and she put 15.
The area is very loud. We did enjoy the walk downtown. And it was actually really clean.

The owners are awesome and are working hard to better the motel. It is clean and close to everything. This was my second time staying here and I will return. The customer service was great but the customer experience was even better! I was remembered from 2 1/2 months ago and given an upgrade! That makes me want to return!!!

The property was rundown, it’s an older property that has been minimally maintained. The manager said he would be back at 9 am for check out and we left at 9:30 and he still had. It showed up. There was a homeless encampment across the street, which made the stay a bit uneasy. The room was clean considering the age of the building. This place could definitely use some upkeep .

Worst place ever, there are saying to take valuables away from your car.Because a homeless can break into your car. There was a portable air conditioning in the room but no hose. Homeless people was all around. Never going to stay here ever again unsafe,dirty,stinky.

The key wouldn't work in our door and the hours to book out are stupid on a Sunday to get your deposit back as the owner said he wasn't coming in till 930am on the Sunday and we needed to be in Kelowna by 9am. So we had to leave 8am and he wouldn't come in

Fridge had ‘knuckle’ marks from someone punching it. Kitchen area was horrible. Booked for 2 queens and got 1 queen and a double. No bathroom fan but it did have a little window to open with no screen that bugs came in. Window air conditioner that someone could have slid open and came in our room. People living in the motel and smoking weed right outside our window. Deadbolt on bedroom door(strange) Woke up to a court baliff and 2 police officers escorting a tenant out with all her belongs while she was screaming profanities. All for 159$ a night?! Should have been 1/2 that price or less
