Great front staff member at check in. Quick service to check in. Easy parking. Room overlooks lake and walking paths. Beautiful! Rooms are spacious, great beds, shower has good pressure. Only con is homelessness around area but never bothered us. Be aware the train comes literally behind the hotel twice daily with no schedule! We were ok for our stay but staff mentioned it is very loud!! Ear plugs provided lol!

Disliked: Amenities
I was expecting to stay at the Prestige on the water not on the road. When checking out I expresses this to the front desk. She explained that am email was sent out explaining the difference, no amenities close to the train and not at the “resort”. However you do get to use the amenities at resort which is a 10 min walk along the water. The staff were amazing and friendly but room is not same quality I am used to with staying at the Prestige Hotels. Our stay was pleasant, the balcony was nice but the train goes by twice; late evening and around 4AM. View is pretty and a Save On Foods is nice and close.

Excellent location that’s only a short walk to shopping and waterfront parks. The bed and supportive pillows provided a great night’s rest. Other than a train that passes by once or twice a day, it’s very quiet and relaxing.

Everything was good, except parking was sometimes an issue due to narrow stalls and a few large trucks parked there that made them even narrower.

Nice hotel in a convenient location in town. There are train tracks behind the hotel and the staff will tell you that a couple of trains may pass through the night. I only heard one and it wasn’t a big deal.

Not Great

Wish we wouldn't have stayed here. OK hotel, but here are some of the things we experienced. - Train tracks 50 feet from the room and train horn during night. (they mention it when you arrive, but that's a bit late) - Public patio that overlapped our private balcony and window thus people could sit and look into our room and climb over a 3 ft rail if they wanted onto our balcony - Towel rack falling down and tub that takes 10 minutes to drain - Desk with no lamp nor plug-in - Loud air conditioner - Very little and very tight parking - Music played at reception obviously to please front desk attendant, not customers (OK...now I'm sounding like an old man) Not worth $184 / night

We had a fantastic stay at Prestige Inn Nelson, the only room available when booking was the basement room and we were upgraded to the room on the second floor when we arrived. Room overlooking the lake and mountains, great comfortable mattress, comfortable showers. We've asked for dinner recommendations and the suggestions were amazing - we ended up going back to the places a few times. From super helpful and friendly staff, to comfort, to easy parking, everything contributed to our awesome stay.
