Disliked: Amenities
I had asked to have my room away from the road. They did do that for me, which I really appreciated. It doesn’t look like much of a place, but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. There was a small table and 2 chairs, along with a mini fridge and microwave. There was no closet, although there was a place with hooks and several hangers, which worked great for me. I had a single brew coffee machine, with regular and decaf coffee sugar and coffee mate. They even had a few books if you wanted to read. As I was on my way too Calgary, visiting family. Looks like I'll book a room for my trip back. The price was very reasonable. It is a about 8 to 10 km. from Salmon Arm and no real amenities around. So, eat and do any shopping before you check in.
