Being harassed and locking out my daughter with all her things in there. Forced to find better service elsewhere. We will not return or recommend to anyone. Felt discriminated and harassed and unsafe. Expecting a full refund.

Definitely would not stay here again, the check in was confusing and difficult. Once we got to our room there was no parking available on the property. The room was not clean, there was a tiny sheet on a mattress that looked like someone may have bled out on it, stains everywhere. A/c is ineffective and loud. Seems like there’s black mold on the ceiling. Dark, and dirty. The ONLY bright side is how close it is to the beach, and near by shops. Water pressure in the dirty shower is great also. Spend the extra $50 and go to a nicer place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Its walkable to everything.. The front staff is very unfriendly.. Not welcoming at all. When I checked in, i greeted her nicely but no response, took my payment and gave me the room keys.. Didnt even gave me the wifi password.. I thought it may be available in the room but isnt. I didnt manage to go back and askes as I dont want to deal with her anymore.. such a negative vibe. The properly itself is old and smell old as you enter the room, however, good customer service can make up for it.. On check out, same lady manning the office, I greeted good morning, she greeted me back with her eyes glued to her computer.. I said Im checking out took my keys and thats it.. We have been coming back to Penticton every year.. This is our first time at this property and we will never come back.. I will not recommend it to my friends either.

Great, bike friendly place to stay. The people there are super friendly. Lots of room, dishes, good microwave, good fridge, good wifi, pretty much everything you need. Its not a new/shiny 5 start hotel and there is a few minor things I would spend a day and fix it up that would go a long way but in the end, its the only place in Penticton I ever go to as it fits my needs perfectly.

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…
