Perfect for the price
Extremely kind and approachable staff. Comfortable beds. Very good value for the price. Only nitpick is that the water pressure in the shower was rather weak

Nice Folks, quiet Stay but needs major Reno.
The people who worked there were lovely and helpful the the hotel needs to be updated and hopefully they will do so as they can afford to but the actual room was clean and tidy and the the mattress was comfortable. And it was $40 a night cheaper than anything else. The hotel was in the old downtown core of Castlegar and had several good restaurants and a pharmacy almost next door. Even though it was “downtown” it was really quite quiet. I would stay again.

If you want to find a place where there is no sleep this is the place, everything makes noises and you can hear everyone, place is very outdated place with moldy smells and old and cringy bathroom, they kick you out by 10 am, so no chance to try to recuperate from the sleepless night I would never stay here ever again!!!!

Not what I expected but that's not a bad thing!
It was a weird experience, in general but it was very quiet and really clean is spite of the age of everything! It was pretty cool overall tho, and the staff was quite nice as well!

Great spot to stay at if you're in the Castlegar area. The owner/manager met me at check-in, and we had a great chat. The room was as advertised, and I enjoyed my short stay. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic little hotel
Charming little hotel in the heart of Castlegar. The owner greeted me and got me checked in. She was very nice and personable. She offered me croissants and other baked goods for breakfast. I wish I had spent more than one night.
