Hume Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. The lounge and restaurant had excellent food and staff was accommodating as we had a large party. The hotel is beautiful. Location is excellent and walkable around Nelson. We will be returning."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Castlegar

8/10 Good

"Ok, well because you only get one chance to make a first impression, I would say "Get you hall carpets cleaned!" I think it's been months since they have been cleaned. The reception area and the breakfast areas are very, very well taken care of so it bewilders me why they have left the carpets in the halls so filthy. Other then that the breakfast was very good and well maintained, the staff was very nice and accommodating. I feel it was a little too pricey for what you get so I would rate it a 7/10. Oh yes, one other thing. The hotel was only at about 30% capacity and we were assigned a room on the 2nd floor way down at the end of a hallway. ??"

Chameleon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, hotel staff were kind."
