When we entered our room , there was such a strong smell almost made me puke. Second things, the window was cracked, aminity was lacking at least expecting water in room and no body wash in bathroom and mat in the bathroom floor. The fridge has massive ice build up. The heater was so noisy. Breakfast and checking in/out was smooth. Plenty of parking available.

I loved the hotel aesthetic with the pink doors and pink decor inside my room. My room was clean, the view was good, and the hotel was quiet. The fruit at breakfast weren’t in the best condition they were very ripe and not fit to eat but everything else was pretty average. It was nice to have something to snack on. Overall it was a good stay

There are couple of this they did terribly wrong. Firt I choosed mountain view room but they gave me a room with no view at all. Secondly i booked thru expedia , but when i go to see front desk they had no idea about my booking. They took an hour to figure out the stuff. Third, they didn't offer a single housekeeping in whole week. I went to front desk and ask them for housekeeping twice but they still missed it. Very poor staff out there

I brought it up with the girl at the front desk and she didn't even seem suprised. the rooms were tidy but not clean-wouldn't walk around with no shoes and their was hair in the shower and on the bathroom floor. however the beds were comfortable i'll give it that.

A solid 4 out of 5. Apart from sloppy housekeeping and an excuse for a breakfast there are many things to like. Beds are comfortable, the place is in good shape, the views are stunning, the neighborhood is safer than downtown.

My fiance and son were stuck in kamloops due to car trouble. After staying a couple nights in a less than ideal location i booked them a room at this property and they loved it and it became a happy place for them to spend time until the car was sorted out. Thank you to everyone for the kindness during the stressful time.

Back for my second weekend in a row. Incredible views (especially from the second floor), comfy beds, and very conveniently located near TRU. Staff was all super friendly and helpful and the Nespresso machines are a plus. Flavors of India restaurant shares the same parking lot and has great food plus you get a discount as a guest here.

Staff were friendly. Check-in and check out was a breeze. Beds were clean but general cleanliness of the room was lacking. There was a fly and a beetle, both alive so that was a bit ick. Corners and areas around furniture were not cleaned often if at all. View from the room was great. Overall 3 stars IMO

The room facilities are not old, and the environment is very quiet. However, the refrigerator occasionally makes a loud noise when it starts, which is especially disturbing in such a quiet setting. The bathroom faucet has the hot and cold water reversed — at first, I thought there was no hot water. One of the beds has a large yellowish stain near the head area, and the other bed had a strand of hair on it. It’s understandable that some wear and tear happens, but the cleanliness really needs improvement.
