Fantastic Service
This is a nice little no-frills motel. It has a pool and a bunch of barbecues. The rooms are clean and comfortable. What makes this hotel special is the attention from the owner. I felt like I had a relative taking care of me. Estelle checked on me to make sure the room was great, gave me restaurant advice and helped me pick a route for the next leg of my trip. I’ll be back.

Friendly and very welcoming staff. We were in Penticton for the Gran Fondo race and it was the perfect stay for the weekend. The room was exceptionally clean, quiet, and spacious with a full kitchen. It was a short walk or drive to all amenities. It was a short drive to the race start or a 15 minute ride to the start. Lake was super close too. Pool was lovely especially with the heat in the Okanagan. It is obvious the owner is attentive to guests enjoying their stay. Highly recommend this adorable motel.

We traveled to Penticton for a cycling event. The property owner was so gracious and accommodating. She secured our bikes in her garage when we weren't using them and was always asking how our stay was going. The property is conveniently located to water and major roads. Just a very nice stay. We would definitely stay here again.

We initially were given a top floor room, which was hard for my mother in law to go up the stairs. The woman at the desk was very friendly and accommodating- offering us a ground floor room. The room was very clean, and the back yard has a nice pool with picnic areas with bbqs. No issues.

Checkin was a breeze - very nice clerk. Room was clean, but mediocre - my feet got dirty walking barefoot in the room. All ok until I saw the note on the fridge ‘if you don’t wash dishes you use (2 coffee cups) you’ll be charged $30’!! Note also says to keep linens clean or you’ll be charged damage! Total turn off to an otherwise decent stay.

What a lovely place! Estelle, the clerk (owner maybe), was super friendly and checked to see if our room was OK. We couldn't get the TV to work and neither could Estelle, but we had a good sleep without it! They have snowbird rates as well, which may be something to look into this Winter.

Very friendly, accommodating staff. This was the first time we stayed here…what at gem! Simple decor, comfortable bed, very clean! Everything we look for in a place to stay. Parking is convenient. Even though it’s on a busy street, surprisingly quiet. About 25 minute walk to a major grocery store. Close to beach. Nice courtyard area (that we didn’t use) with outdoor swimming pool and BBQ’s. Our new favourite place to stay in Penticton. Two thumbs up.
