The owner is very friendly and always smiling. The room was large but seemed a bit to large since nothing was in it except from the most important things. Would be great to have a bedside table on both sides and not just on one. It's a good place for a one nights rest.

The check in was easy and owners nice. The property inside is undergoing some renovations. We got a renovated room with a small kitchen area with a bar fridge and table and chairs. I dont know the condition of the other rooms but appreciated that ours was newer and fresher. The motel is right on the main highway and NOT in Salmon Arm, but a small community called Canoe about 5km from Salmon Arm. We walked to a small pub near the waterfront about 1 km away and had to pick a safe time to cross the highway. The highway curves right at the motel so is quite a noisy presence but our room was tucked back a bit so it reduced the highway noise for us. No ice or other amenities are there. Its ok for the price point.

The price was right, location on the highway
Since the price always leads to the level of expectation, I felt everything went well and as expected! My room was large with a separate bedroom. Obviously very convenient location and considering it's located on the Transcanada highway, noise was minimal. I had the AC/Fan on the whole time. There is nothing close for food options but a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk into the little beach town provides everything. Further west is Salmon Arm and tons of options. I stayed twice so you can say I was satisfied!

My in laws live in canoe right across the highway from the motel. I didn’t set my expectations too high, but I was impressed. My room was kind of like a suite with a table and two chairs along with the TV and a 3rd chair in the front room then the bedroom was separate. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfy. I can’t comment on the pillows because I brought my own. I didn’t notice much noise from the highway, but maybe that’s because the bedroom was in the back. My only complaints are the colour of the walls and it’s very sparse. They could put up some pictures or something because it’s very bare. But I’ll definitely stay again.

Older motel on the highway. Traffic was loud until you closed the windows. Air conditioner was fine but typically noisy. Room and bathroom newly renovated, nicely done. Very clean. No hairdryer so bring your own. Basic but all you need for a quick overnight stay.

The room was fine except for the sink and tub faucets: water came out too hot or too cold; impossible to position the single-lever faucet to get temperatures in between. This is strange because I was in the same room 2 weeks ago and the faucets worked fine. One other problem: when I checked in, the property management system showed I'd reserved 2 rooms. Not sure whether this is an error in their system or Expedia.
