Wonderful staff! Rooms were clean, motel was easy to locate; perfect for our trip. Just a little drive into Salmon Arm for all amenities. A little noisy being right off Hwy 1; but that was completely expected. Would definitely stay here again.

Biggest surprise was it's not actually in Salmon Arm, but rather in Canoe. Not much for local amenities, one small pub, that's it; or backtrack 15 minutes to get back into Salmon Arm, where there's lots of restaurants etc.

The bed was nice. It is located right on the highway. Traffic was loud all night. The room doesn't get enough fresh air and smelled old, trapped in and od old cigarette smoke.
