It was quite busy and noisy. Could hear people walking above us and lots of noise from parking lot with people hollering. We were in the property's front and not as quiet s the back where we had previously stayed.

The service was great. This is a tired property in some areas of the interior and the rooms. The bathroom has been updates - this is well done. No doubt, I would stay here again as the reception was very professional and appreciated. Breakfast had many choices and the areas were clean. Good job! Thank you.

The bed seemed to have better days. My back was sore after a night on it… not usual for me. I thought the mattress springs were shot. As for service I went to the desk to find an ice machine rang the service desk bell waited five minutes and no one showed. Never did find ice machine. Entrance to upstairs dirty and carpets in hall way needed cleaning or replacing. Travel thru Castlegar at least once a year! At this point I will be looking for other accommodation! Staff were pleasant though!

This is a very basic hotel, it was clean enough for one night, but the bathroom was not clean when we arrived to our room, with dried urine drips on the toilet seat, hairs on the floor in the bathroom and the room smelled badly of smoke. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot, but as mentioned in other reviews the heater fan is so loud that it made it difficult to get a good nights sleep…. I regret not bringing earplugs. Overall it is a basic, clean enough budget hotel.

A good solid hotel choice in Castlegar, nothing fancy but clean and has everything you need. Breakfast is pretty basic.
