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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.)

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.
