Decent little motel literally 50 feet from gorgeous okanagan lake beach. Our suite had an amazing lake biew as it was on the second floor facing the beach. Room was clean, had a full kitchenette. Mattress wasn’t the best but heard good reviews on the sofa bed. Definitely bring extra pillows unless you like to sleep on a single pancake pillow. I asked for extra and was told they weren’t available. The property is nice and well maintained with multiple BBQ’s available for use. Pool was decent but was unheated.

Room wasn't ready until after 6pm. Even then the floors weren't cleaned properly, the two towels we got were old and tired, the bed was horrible quality with the mattress sunken in on one side. Terrible experience and completely not worth it. The pictures here do not reflect what we got at all.

The bed was nice and firm and the room was clean. Staff were nice and people were having fun by the pool. The location is great. It is "dog friendly" but there is no dog area on the property - all the signs say no dogs and the sign in sheet says they will keep the deposit if there is any hair on any furniture. The condition of the property is very poor. It looks like they started renos and ran out of money, then went to the thrift store or garage sales to equip the suites with tacky stuff. There were no towel racks and an unstable cabinet over the toilet with no room for towels. The towels were different colors and looked second hand and were stacked in rolls on the beds on arrival. The shelf on the shower insert was uneven so the shampoo would not stand up. The superfluous floor lamp was unstable and looked unsafe. There are no charger outlets or power outlets near the beds. There is an ice bucket but no machine and the office sells large bags for $4 that don't fit in the tiny freezer. There was also a tiny empty ice tray but we didn't use it because it would have taken overnight to make ice.

The lady at the check in was very rude. Doesn’t give proper information. After 4pm we wanted to check in she doesn’t even know if the room is cleaned or not. Our washroom wasn’t working they said the handyman was gonna show up in 2 hrs never came. No towels garbage can anything in the rooms. Very poor service. We had called and asked for side by side rooms and they said over the phone it was and when we got there to check in it wasn’t. When I asked the lady she said well is not! No other explanation. They say things over the phone but when you get there the reality is not what they promised on the phone
