So glad to have found this place! I stayed here for a one night stop on a longer road trip and it was perfect. It looks a little dated and perhaps a tad rundown from the outside, but the inside is recently updated, clean, and well kept. The staff were really lovely and helpful. Really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it!

A great highway stop while travelling into Salmon Arm, best price for the best quality compared to other local establishments. Very pleasant greeting, comfortable and cozy room in the back (not facing the highway!) and great amenities on offer (tv, wifi, coffee). Great for an overnight where we needed to start fresh early the next day!

Not the quietest of places next to the highway, but spectacularly clean! Great value for an overnighter or two. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I appreciated the hardwood floor as opposed to a carpet. It looked well maintained! I will recommend this place to others.

A very nice, clean, large unit with a separate bedroom, and a large area with table and chairs. Bit noisy due to the highway but didn't bother me when I closed the bedroom door. It is not right donton but only a short drive away. I would be happy to stay here again

Great location to stop over on long trip as it is right on the Trans-Canada highway. May be a bit noisy if your room faces the highway. Could use extra blankets in the room as it was mid May when we stayed.

Actually a very nice place. Clean, well maintained and quiet. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 rating is because it is somewhat isolated. Not much around in the way of services.

Older motel but VERY well maintained. Pride of ownership shows thru! The setting was quaint, although adjacent a very busy Hwy1, so light sleepers may not have a great sleep. The A/C needs re-charge (our A/C unit only kept the room live-able when 32+ degrees outside), but we enjoyed our sleep thru the night (a/c was good white noise) as beds were comfortable with heavy comforters. We'ld stay again! Canoe is a nice little community on water's edge.
