Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Its walkable to everything.. The front staff is very unfriendly.. Not welcoming at all. When I checked in, i greeted her nicely but no response, took my payment and gave me the room keys.. Didnt even gave me the wifi password.. I thought it may be available in the room but isnt. I didnt manage to go back and askes as I dont want to deal with her anymore.. such a negative vibe. The properly itself is old and smell old as you enter the room, however, good customer service can make up for it.. On check out, same lady manning the office, I greeted good morning, she greeted me back with her eyes glued to her computer.. I said Im checking out took my keys and thats it.. We have been coming back to Penticton every year.. This is our first time at this property and we will never come back.. I will not recommend it to my friends either.

I think they need to sweep the patio on the upstairs close to the door so sand doesn’t keep getting into the room. Also, there’s a lot of cobwebs. Otherwise, the rooms are clean. The staff are great.

The motel is older and the staff have done a great job to maintain it. The location is amazing right across from the beach. That’s what sold us! We got a free upgrade without asking and the staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend for a summer destination

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The building and furniture are old. The mattress is comfortable, but the bed frame squeaks. Our room had a lot of fruit flies, and the couch was dirty—good thing I brought my own blanket to cover it before sitting. The cutlery and cookware are also quite old. We’re not very meticulous, but cleanliness is very important to us. On the positive side, the front desk staff was nice, and the location is close to the lake.

The outside of the "resort" is run down, the pool is NOT heated as their sign states, there was black mould all over the bathroom, it stunk, the blinds were broken, we had to put a towel in the window for privacy, terrible stay, would not recommend and I have pictures and will ve contacting BC Interior Health Services, definitely will be requesting some compensation, nit worth $200 a night, id gauge about $60 a night and a mould warning

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Carmello was awesome checking us in. Location was perfect. Pool was not heated, very cold. Room was what you would expect for the price. Nice to have options (different hotels with different price points).

For the most part it was a quiet motel. Unfortunately there is always that one guest that doesn't care, not the Motels fault. The bed was a little hard for my back, but that's about the only thing I had trouble with. Nice place, good people.

Great area and bed but the check in time was delayed to 5:30 pm. Expedia said 2 pm and when we arrived the front desk said 4 pm… then the rooms still were not cleaned until 5:30 pm
