Would go there again

The rooms very clean and the beds are super comfortable. Awesome view. It also seems to be very well insulated as one could barely hear outside noises. The kids had fun in the pool

This motel is a little gem. Obviously an older building that has been given a new life. The view from my room is amazing. The room is clean, pillows are great. Air conditioning worked great (34 degrees in Kamloops during my stay). This will be my go-to motel in Kamloops.

The A/C unit was very loud, switching on and off all night. The room did not have a window we could open up so we we're stuck with the noise. However, the swimming pool was a welcome surprise.
