VERY nice motel, it is exceptionally well maintained and updated. We walked into downtown easily in under 10 minutes, a McDonalds and Timmiies within 5 minute or less walks. Absolutely will stay here again. Owner is on site and wonderful to deal with

It is an older motel near downtown Smithers. Our unit was clean and everything was as advertised. The beds were firm which was okay for my daughter (30+ yrs old) but a bit too hard for me (60+ yrs old). There is a communal kitchen for the units to use. The employees were excellent, both front desk and cleaning staff. They were friendly and helpful. They also provided us with good options for restaurants and shops.

For a comfortable stay, I can definitely recommend the Fireweed Motel. You'll find friendly staff ,free parking, impeccably clean, and quiet rooms. Its prime location, close to a major grocery store and various fast-food options, is an added bonus.

In the last 37 years of travelling in both the US and here in beautiful British Colombia, we have never rated a motel as highly as we have for Fireweed. It was perfect in every single way so stop looking now if your looking for a place to stay and book this wonderful little gem.

Clean renovated rooms. Staff seems friendly enough with the little interaction I had with them. I don't think there is AC in the rooms, so I might avoid in the hottest days of summer.

This motel was old but was super clean. I asked for a covid clean room because I have autoimmune illness and they certainly did a grest job giving me a clean room. The staff was friendly and helpful with some recommendations for eating out. The surround area was not so clean but that is because of the gravel and sand laid down for the snow. Definity not modern but we were happy with what we got.
