Clean comfortable stay

Reasonable rates and a clean updated room were appreciated. Although my room was on the pool side and for an early riser it was a bit noisy since the pool doesn’t close till 10:30. Also there didn’t seem to be anyone attending to cleaning or towel removal in the pool area as the same wet towels were there from the previous night when I looked out my window this morning.

Very nice stay

Firstly, I would like to thank Euiji for the fantastic welcome at the front desk. She was very sweet. I had a poolside room with the convenience of just opening the door onto the pool deck. Very convenient for those of you who have children. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Castlegar

Despite the dated exterior, the interior has been renovated and is very cozy and modern. We rented a king suite on the 3rd floor and found it very classy and well laid out with a very modern look and feel. The bed was huge and comfortable and the ammenties were just right.

Nice older hotel, outstanding front desk staff. There were some vagrants in the area who made things a little unsettling at times, but it’s not worse than any other city in Canada nowadays. Breakfast is $7, but we did not stay for it. No luggage carts which would have been nice as we are an older couple travelling with a lot of stuff. In general though, very clean and comfortable for an older hotel. The bathroom was nicely redone and the shower was outstanding - best so far on our trip. Price was reasonable and competitive. Rating overall - Very good.

Check in and out staff were wonderful. We were in a recently renovated room. Pool and hot tub were great after a long day of driving. Restaurants available across the street. We did not take advantage of the continental breakfast. Would stay here again.
