I was disappointed that this hotel did not still provide free breakfast. The coupon for an appy in the steak house was appreciated though. I have a plugin hybrid vehicle which requires a common 3 pronged plug for overnight charging. This was not available. I have stayed at the Best Western in Vernon and not only did they have a plug for my vehicle, they also had 4 level 2 chargers for fully electric vehicles to use free of charge

Staff (Alvin) was very friendly and shared all the details we need to know. They arranged what I requested. We are very thankful. The room is very clean, even has special note to the guest. Very closed to the city center and restaurants. Will stay here again for sure.

This Best Western is always a good place to stay when I am in Trail...no issues with the hotel at all. The location is so-so...but, its Trail and, although I grew up here, Trail is what it is.

We needed a place to stay during a series of hospital visits to a relative. We needed a room adapted for a person with limited mobility but could not reserve it online. On arrival, the desk clerk saw immediately what our needs were and altered our reservation to ensure we were able to check in to the appropriate room without extra charges. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the heating system up to the task without being too noisy. The breakfast room offers a limited menu and the steakhouse while excellent is not a place for regular evening meals for families. Despite being located on the principal artery of the town, traffic noise did not prevent getting a good rest.
