The ceiling fan in our room was falling down and unsafe to use which was unfortunate because it was hot weather and would’ve been useful. As well, the safety sign/firemap or whatever it is right beside the door was shattered glass and half missing - could’ve easily sliced a finger - needs to be replaced asap. Everything else was great and beds were comfy!

Great location as close to the beach and restaurants. Could be cleaner a specially outdoor, to enjoy seating outside. Housekeepers were in rush to prep the suite, no toilet paper and forget collecting garbage in the kitchen. Otherwise they have amazing staff in the office and excellent customer service over the phone. I wish they had individual table outside of the suite or more seating “patio” outside. With full parking it is hard to find any space. I would come back again

Was nice to have a full kitchen. They did have a toaster as well as a coffee maker I just wish that was listed so I didn’t bring my kettle. The bed was springy when u first climb in but didn’t feel them once laying down however every turn u made was uncomfortable and squeaked. The ac was soopppp loud I didn’t sleep the first night at all. Other than that great location and was clean. Oh also the sign in the cupboard said there would be a 25$ charge if we didn’t clean our own dishes which actually just grossed me out….im glad i pre washed the cup I used n the one spoon. Can’t trust others.

Dont book your stay
We were expecting that this place will give us satisfaction but to our dismay, manager at the office was making calls instead of checking in the people who are waiting for him… toilet dont have any toilet tissue, towels is worse than our rug at home… under beds are not just dusty but lots of garbage.. I like the place coz it is very near the beach, but i will never book any stay in this hotel again…

It’s a typical older Penticton motel. The staff are friendly & try their best with limited resources.
