Bring your shampoo!! Worst shampoo I’ve ever tried. Clustered a little as they’re lots of furniture and not that much space to circulate. Very friendly service. Well located.

We have stayed at the Royal Kelowna several times over the past 10 years. Property age is starting to show, appliances older, jacuzzi didnt work. Our room smelled of strong cologne. No option to change room. Pot smoking and party next door and front desk said a security guard makes his rounds later, of which we didnt see. Great location, just not the 5 star resort it use to be.
