The reception was very friendly, and the room was cleaned, obvously by someone who really cared. The bed was comfortable. It's a nice place to spend a night but ... The room is very small and very poorly lighted. It would nice, for example, to have even a bit of light above the table so that you could do some work at it. It would also be nice to have a bit more room between the bed and the wall in case you have to get up in the night. And yet, I would stay here again if all we need is bed for a night. The friendly smile at the front desk makes up for a lot.

Room was very clean, and the beds were more actually more comfortable than most hotels I’ve stayed in. I was a bit worried about some negative reviews saying that guests were charged a $100 deposit which was never returned for smoking in the rooms, despite claiming that they don’t smoke. There are ominous signs at the front desk saying that they have detectors in the room (which I couldn’t find but maybe didn’t look hard enough), but I don’t smoke and my deposit was returned after a few days. The rooms have a microwave, coffee maker and full fridge (which was unplugged but easily plugged back in), and the cupboards are zip tied shut. Not the fanciest rooms by any means but good for an overnight stay, and the price is right. Highway noise could be a concern for some. I wear earplugs at night so slept soundly. Motel is a bit out of town, but again, the price reflects this minor inconvenience. Would go back and recommend for anyone passing through needing a good night’s rest.

I had asked to have my room away from the road. They did do that for me, which I really appreciated. It doesn’t look like much of a place, but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. There was a small table and 2 chairs, along with a mini fridge and microwave. There was no closet, although there was a place with hooks and several hangers, which worked great for me. I had a single brew coffee machine, with regular and decaf coffee sugar and coffee mate. They even had a few books if you wanted to read. As I was on my way too Calgary, visiting family. Looks like I'll book a room for my trip back. The price was very reasonable. It is a about 8 to 10 km. from Salmon Arm and no real amenities around. So, eat and do any shopping before you check in.
