2-Star Hotels in Osoyoos

Pros - Clean linens and towels, clean suite - Satisfactory wifi connection Cons - Sloppy and unprofessional front desk staff - They scrambled to start cleaning the suite after we arrived at 3:45 pm. Not even an apology offered considering we had just driven 5 hours with two toddlers. - Gaudy wall colours and interior finishes - Slightly pokey bedrooms with bedside tables one one side only - Poor illumination - only bright daylight ceiling light, no side table lamp shades in the living room/kitchen area - Most unsightly building, unprofessional workmanship - cables dangling all over the place on the building exterior. - Suite entrance is from the service lane, wide enough for one vehicle to pass. With insufficient building setback from the property line, guest cars have to be parked facing the building with their rear ends sticking out into the lane. - Construction debris, packing crate wood, building material and carpentry scrap lying around the building (see picture) - Overflowing recycling bins, housekeeping implements, bins out in the open in the swimming pool area. - All in all, a squalid environment and utter lack of aesthetic sense, and an eyesore. Conclusion: Not worth the price, and not recommended.

Very good but could be better. We stayed in the newer section so the room still had a new smell, which was OK. However, there are a few things that could make it better. The lighting is not well placed. The room is light enough with the lights on but the lights do not provide a good reading light for everyone as they are placed between the beds. Also the light switch is not convenient. They need some additional lights that are easier to use. We were concerned about the safety of the bathtub/shower as the tub is unusually high and there are no handholds anywhere to assist with getting in and out. While breakfast in included, it is very basic, consisting of cereals, toast, muffins, danishes, and hard boiled eggs, but it was enough. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Never again. The rooms were freshly updated, clean, and the beds comfy but the rooms were ice cold and took forever to heat up. I could see my breath after 4 hours in the room with the heat on full. Our family of four wound up cuddling in one bed for the night. The ice cold floors never did warm up. The road noise was also very bad. We came here because the price online was advertised as $89/night but when we arrived we were told that price is for a room with one single bed. The actual cost for a room with 2 queen beds was $140 a night. For comparison: The Best Western down the street was $130/ night for a room with 2 queens and included breakfast. I checked in the middle of the night but we decided to stick it out.

While the motel is located fairly close to the lake, I couldn't actually SEE the lake, as the name suggests. After booking on *******, my friends and I weren't having a lot of luck getting a hold of the motel, as they never seem to answer the phone, return phone messages, or respond to our email questions. When we arrived, no wonder. Rarely is the office door unlocked with anyone manning the front desk. My friend was able to check in when he arrived there ahead of us, but was asked to pay in advance for the duration of our stay. Normally, you settle up at check-out. Our rooms were admittedly very clean inside, however there is little to no maid-service until after you check out by simply depositing your key into an outside drop box. It would be nice to have the bedding changed for us daily, fresh towels, and replenished supplies like toilet paper. Part of the reason you stay at a motel on vacation is to be pampered, not to do the work yourself. A sign told us if we wanted fresh towels to drop the used ones into a laundry basket, leave the basket outside our room, and new towels would be exchanged for them. Inside a dirty laundry basket? Eww! We were expected to take our own cans and recyclables downstairs to a sorting area outside the office. Our room had a coffee maker, but no coffee or filters. My friend's room had a malfunctioning toilet. Overall, there seems to be a trend nowadays where the price of accommodations has skyrocketed to all-time highs, while the level of service has plummeted...so you're paying more, and getting less. Not sure why the demand is still high and this should be acceptable.

I booked this motel based on the positive reviews, but was sorely disappointed. First, the positives: motel is right on the lake, location is wonderful; the room itself has obviously been refreshed-bathroom is clean, kitchen well stocked. Unfortunately, the air-conditioner is old and LOUD. It was located in the living area and did not cool down the bedroom AT ALL. We kept the window open in an effort to get some cool air in the bedroom, but ended up being kept awake by the loud partying in the room beside and below us. The windows are absolutely covered in cobwebs, old and new. The common areas are tired and dirty; we stayed two nights and crumpled cans and boxes in the stairwell and hallway were never picked up. To top it off, the motel charges you if you don't take out your own garbage from the room and put it in the bins by the front office upon check-out. I could maybe accept this if the motel put any effort into cleaning up the premises, but demanding guests clean up their own room when they can't do the bare minimum is unacceptable. I have worked and stayed in basic motels before, but this was definitely the worst experience. For $250/night, you can do better.
