This is a funky 1950s-retro-style motel. The location was great..situated right across from Okanagan lake. The beds were super comfy, rooms were reasonably clean. This is a great family spot with lots of walking options nearby. There are several restaurants within walking distance. There’s a fair bit of noise that travels between the rooms if you happen to be a light sleeper. Overall good value for the cost.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was non-smoking but it had obviously been smoked in previously to the point where the air was pretty gross. The deadbolt to our door didn't work, and the walls are so thin you can hear everything going on outside and in adjacent rooms. We booked this place partially because it had a hot tub, but it was out of service. We spent 30 minutes here before finding a different hotel to stay at. It was worth losing the $70 on this room to not have to spend the night here.

Dusty, and disappointed

Shower water temperature was extremely hot suddenly. One of my family got red skin due to extreme hot water. We told the problem and they had never fixed next 3 days. Room was so dusty as you can see picture air conditioners is covered dust. Floor was so dirty I got a foot infection on my feet. We stayed before the pandemic, they were sparkling clean that time. Now they are going downhill due to new management company. Manager was “smoking” near the pool

First stay at this motel, and won’t be the last. We booked the one bedroom suite and it was spacious for our whole family. Loved not needing room key cards and instead having a code for the door. The kids utilized the pool, and enjoyed all the pool toys and floaties provided by the motel. Wished the hot tub was up and running but it wasn’t. Older motel but well taken care of, and I loved the retro feeling of it. Took 3 minutes to walk to the beach. It’s across the street from Loco Landing Adventure Park.
