Nice clean room. The building itself is quite dated and has a lot of spiders (a huge issue for my wife).

We are repeat customers of the Happy Salmon books motel. It’s locally owned very friendly. To be real it’s an older hotel that’s been refurbished, but it’s clean, comfortable and consistent. It’s become a favourite stop over in Salmon arm on our way west.

Biggest surprise was it's not actually in Salmon Arm, but rather in Canoe. Not much for local amenities, one small pub, that's it; or backtrack 15 minutes to get back into Salmon Arm, where there's lots of restaurants etc.

We had a wonderful stay at Happy Salmon Motel. It was perfect for us after a long drive. The room was so comfortable and just what we needed. I can hardly wait to come back. When we asked for a good place to eat, our hostess suggested walking across the highway and down the hill. We did just that, found a great restaurant, then walked to the pier and stopped for ice cream at the corner store. 10/10

The bed was nice. It is located right on the highway. Traffic was loud all night. The room doesn't get enough fresh air and smelled old, trapped in and od old cigarette smoke.

Wonderful staff! Rooms were clean, motel was easy to locate; perfect for our trip. Just a little drive into Salmon Arm for all amenities. A little noisy being right off Hwy 1; but that was completely expected. Would definitely stay here again.
