Great pub and the food and service are great in the pub. ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel was quiet. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean. It was a pleasant overnight stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities nice old hotel. Newly renovated. A work in progress but would stay there again. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### richard Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Lodging was good, they don't have many things that they claim on the menu at the pub downstairs and the beer could be colder ! ##### richard Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Adriaan May 25, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### OK to give it a try Good for overnight and business travel ##### Adriaan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Jul 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It's a 87 year old Hotel with historic charm. Beds are very comfortable. Connected was a pub called Howling Coyote. Food was good and we had great fun playing Music Bingo. Extra special I won the blackout shharing with another Lady ##### Carol Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenneth Aug 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The Hotel is very old but they have been updating it. My room was spacious and clean, but still needed a bit of craftsmanship to clean up the bathroom. I found the price was a great deal for that time in the Okanagan. Would book again. ##### Kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ryan Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Ryan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beat Aug 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities New management. Good facility. Understaffed. House key didn't work (but we could get in through the pub). We were traveling through and it was just what we needed. Fair price. ##### Beat Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Wayne Jul 25, 2022 Overpriced... Underwhelming. ##### Wayne Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chris Nov 8, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is quite nice to stay in a historic building and the pub food below is also very enjoyable. The bar staff check you into your room, but are not fully equipped to do so. The hotel manager tries to insist on cash payments, which is not feasible when travelling with a credit card. ##### Chris ### 6/10 Okay #### Dave Sep 10, 2022 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Way overpriced for the dated very basic room. This should be no more than 50 bucks a night. Itnis more of a hostel than anything. Ournwindow a/c was right over a dumpster which perfumed the room if wanted a/c. Do not recommend, especially at the price point. ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities I found the history very interesting. It was on Main Street so everything was within walking distance. The bathroom was very clean but there was a water leak in the taps and we were cleaning that up regularly. The is no Lobby Area and we found no staff except for bar and Grill. So no one to call with concerns or get help if needed. ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mindy-Anne Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Can’t recommend based on the rooms we had. The beds were uncomfortable and the rooms didn’t look like renovations were completed. The people were nice and friendly. It was a little challenging to unlock the front door with the key. One room door barely latched and the deadbolt didn’t work. Overall it was passable but we wouldn’t stay again based on the rooms we had. ##### Mindy-Anne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### James Jul 30, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Air conditioning did not work so the room did not cool down till around 1am,we had to buy a can of raid to kill the ants that were crawling all over,room had a very poor cable selection and no remote for the tv.Was over all a very disapointing stay stay . ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colin Sep 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities We were given a double room at the end of the hallway(206/207) They are trying to keep it authentic but wood/plank flooring in halls and rooms are a bit noisy. The doors seemed original, but one could see out through the door jamb. The toilet rocked back and forth at each use. The bathroom door had to be slammed to close, but then wobbled. Coffee supplies were good, no breakfast offered, but there are places nearby. We thought it would be noisy with karaoke on Friday and live music on Saturday, but were pleasantly surprised; never heard a thing. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bill Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very clean, good service. Older small hotel , convenient to everything in town. ##### Bill Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### William Jun 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is good. There is no lobby reception desk. We checked in late and had to go see the neighbor bartender to get our keys. There was loud karaoke in to the early hours of the next day. Not impressed for sure! ##### William Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Emma May 23, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not book ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber May 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Amber Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fran Apr 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Clean room. My biggest disappointment was poor (almost nonexistent wifi). We rely on wifi to book rooms and maintain contact with family when traveling. Due to short visit through USA on our way to Mexico (3 days) did not have a SIM card that worked in states.) ##### Fran Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 15, 2021 #### Low price for the basic necessities. This is the most basic of basic accommodation. We looked out into a tin roof on the back of the building. It served our purpose, however. Just needed an inexpensive place to sleep for the night. The beds were comfortable and the mini fridge was handy for some essentials we brought. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Our room was clean and had everything we needed; the tv was on the side wall, however, which made it difficult to watch. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 31, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Not bad for a one night quick stay. Check in was quite easy other then having to go through the pub. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Painter's Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Campbell-River-Hotels-Painters-Lodge.h8189731.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Watermark Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Watermark-Beach-Resort.h2856418.Hotel-Information) > > [Walnut Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Walnut-Beach-Resort.h1880440.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Tin Wis Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Tin-Wis-Resort.h16629.Hotel-Information) > > [Rockwater Secret Cove Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Halfmoon-Bay-Hotels-Rockwater-Secret-Cove-Resort.h1663160.Hotel-Information) > > [Executive Plaza Hotel Metro Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Executive-Plaza-Hotel-Metro-Vancouver.h201072.Hotel-Information) > > [Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Sparkling-Hill-Wellness-Resort-And-Spa-Adult-Only-Resort.h3489503.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingfisher Pacific Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Courtenay-Hotels-Kingfisher-Oceanside-Resort-And-Spa.h41335.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Bastion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Coast-Bastion-Hotel.h40652.Hotel-Information) > > [Manning Park Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Manning-Park-Hotels-Manning-Park-Resort.h1086569.Hotel-Information) > > [Crazy Creek Resort & Hot Pools](https://www.expedia.ca/Malakwa-Hotels-Crazy-Creek-Resort-Hot-Pools.h12934433.Hotel-Information) > > [Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Brentwood-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1077147.Hotel-Information) > > [Rowena's Inn On The River](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Rowenas-Inn-On-The-River.h8343282.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fairmont-Hot-Springs-Hotels-Fairmont-Hot-Springs-Resort.h30999850.Hotel-Information) > > [Halcyon Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nakusp-Hotels-Halcyon-Hot-Springs-Village-Spa.h15120434.Hotel-Information) > > [Copper Point Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Invermere-Hotels-Copper-Point-Resort.h4306045.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Pacific-Shores-Resort-Spa.h16295324.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Prestige Vernon Lodge and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Prestige-Vernon-Lodge-And-Conference-Centre.h7229330.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Spirit Ridge, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Spirit-Ridge.h1216219.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Prince George Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-George-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Prince-George-Hotel.h3987864.Hotel-Information) > > [Middle Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Middle-Beach-Lodge.h1784869.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zed Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Hotel-Zed-Tofino.h6242279.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Capri Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Coast-Capri-Hotel.h40645.Hotel-Information)
