When I walked into the hotel after a long drive from Vancouver, I was greeted by a very cheerful Marie. I told her that we had a long drive and my husband was a bit cranky and asked if there's a chance of checking in early. Check-in time is 4 but she found us a room and we were able to check in right away at 2:30. Our double room was comfortable and clean.

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

Stay was good. The 3 stairs coming from the lobby made it difficult to use a luggage cart, other then that it was good

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.

Nice stay. Nice staff.
The front desk was very accommodating. We git there early and they had no problem checking us in early. The only disadvantage was they were doing construction on the second floor so you had to work your way around the construction to get to the elevator.

Our hotels.com reservation did not populate on the hotel’s system until after about 2 hours after our arrival. We gave up waiting & booked at the hotel. Luckily the hotel cancelled their reservation later & used our hotels.com reservation. It was a hassle. There is no number to call at hotels.com. The virtual assistant was not helpful.

A Perfect Experience.
A storm delayed check in but the front desk lady Joy, was super pleasant and professional and made everything a breeze when it all got up and running. She was the rainbow at the end of the storm and we got into our room with a complimentary breakfast upgrade. The room was perfect and comfortable, clean and a perfect nights stay. Max, our dog accompanied us and loved the treats they gave us- he never eats the treats so that too was a win. Thank you for an amazing stay. We will be back and I will recommend your hotel to everyone I know!
