Kamloops Getaway: Canada's BEST Value Inn & Suites!

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into a review of Kamloops Getaway: Canada's BEST Value Inn & Suites! And trust me, after spending a week there, I've got MORE than a few things to say. Forget those sterile, corporate reviews you're used to – this is gonna be real. We're talking messy, honest, and maybe a little bit crazy.

First Impressions (and the Big Picture: Accessibility and Safety)

Right off the bat, let's talk about something crucial: Accessibility. And, bless their hearts, Kamloops Getaway tries. They actually list "Facilities for disabled guests." HUGE plus, right? Well, that's about as detailed as it gets. They don't tell you what they offer, just…that they offer something. So, yeah, more info needed on that front. (Insert a little internal sigh here. Accessibility is a big deal, people!)

But hey, onto the good stuff! They're clearly taking COVID seriously. Loads of "Anti-viral cleaning products", "Hand sanitizer" everywhere, and "Physical distancing" signs that are actually followed (unlike some places I've been!). They've got the whole "Daily disinfection in common areas" thing going on, and "Rooms sanitized between stays." I felt pretty darned safe. I mean, like, I wasn't running around licking doorknobs (because, ew), but I wasn't constantly on edge either. They even offer "Room sanitization opt-out available," for those who do not have COVID-19. That shows they care about their guests' preferences. Bravo!

Cleanliness and Safety – The Heart of it All

Alright, let's be real: the real test is how clean is clean? And, thankfully, Kamloops Getaway aces it. The rooms, with "Rooms sanitized between stays" and "Daily disinfection in common areas", felt spotless. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, okay? (Don't judge me!) And I found zero hairs in the bathtub! This is HUGE. They are "Hygiene certified" and uses "Professional-grade sanitizing services". The staff seems genuinely committed to keeping things squeaky. The "Staff trained in safety protocol" definitely shows.

The Room: Okay, Let's Talk My Room… (With All Its Quirks)

Okay, deep breath. My room. It wasn't a palace, but it was functional. And hey, it's Kamloops Getaway: Canada's BEST Value Inn & Suites, not the Ritz! It had "Air conditioning," which was a lifesaver because Kamloops can get hot. There was "Free Wi-Fi," which, let's face it, is essential these days. I was a little bummed that the "Internet access" didn't specify the speed. I was also a little bummed about the "Refrigerator" - but no freezer. So bring ice packs! I'm a huge fan of "Blackout curtains" and "Soundproofing" -- which helped me get some much-needed sleep.

Plus:

"Bathrobes": A nice touch! I felt fancy.
"Free bottled water": Always appreciated. Hydration is key.
"Coffee/tea maker": Crucial for my sanity. Coffee, always coffee.
"Desk": Where I may or may not have done some work (mostly online shopping in fact).
"Daily housekeeping": Kept everything tidy (thank goodness!).
"Hair dryer": Because my hair is a drama queen and needs all the help it can get.
"In-room safe box": For peace of mind.
"Ironing facilities": I'm not normally an ironer, but it's nice to have the option.
"Laptop workspace": Which I basically converted into a snack station.
"Linens": Soft and clean.
"Satellite/cable channels": Perfect for zoning out after a long day.
"Wake-up service": I actually used this a few times!
"Wi-Fi [free]": Did I mention they had Wi-Fi? It was pretty solid.

The real test? The bathroom. And it was…fine. The "Separate shower/bathtub" was a nice touch. The "Toiletries" were basic, but they were there. My only complaint? The lighting was a little dim. But hey, at least the "Mirror" was good! What a relief!

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – The Good, The Bad, and the Slightly Confusing!

Okay, this is where things get…interesting. Kamloops Getaway says they have "Restaurants" and "Restaurants" and "Poolside bar". Well, that's sort of true. They do have a "Coffee shop." The hotel has "Breakfast [buffet]". Breakfast was included, which is a major win! It was a pretty standard buffet: eggs, bacon, cereal, pastries. It was definitely, not gourmet, but hey, it filled the tummy. There was also "Breakfast takeaway service". The "Bottle of water" was nice.

They also offer "Room service [24-hour]".

The rest? Hmm. There was a "Snack bar", which sounds promising. I did not see an "Asian cuisine in restaurant". Overall, dining felt a bit limited.

Things to do (Besides Staring at the Walls!)

This is another area where Kamloops Getaway has a bit of a mixed bag.

"Fitness center": I peeked in. It looked…adequate. I’ll be honest, I didn’t actually use it. I'm on vacation, people!
"Swimming pool [outdoor]": Score! It was actually pretty nice, and the view from the "Pool with view" was decent.
"Sauna": YES! This was a definite highlight. It was clean and relaxing.
"Spa": It looked relaxing.

Services and Conveniences

"Cash withdrawal" & "Currency exchange": Useful if you're a traveler.
"Concierge": I didn’t need the concierge, but it's nice to know they're there.
"Convenience store": Perfect for grabbing snacks and essentials.
"Daily housekeeping": (Important enough to mention again!)
"Elevator": Essential, especially if you're in the "High floor" rooms.
"Facilities for disabled guests": (Again, with the asterisk, because we still need more info!)
"Free Car park [on-site]", "Car park [free of charge]": Very welcome with the free parking.
"Luggage storage": Helpful if you arrive early or leave late.
"Non-smoking rooms": A HUGE plus for anyone sensitive to smoke.
"Wi-Fi for special events": (If you're having…)

For the Kids – A Mixed Bag, Too

"Babysitting service": Good for families.
"Family/child friendly": Generally, yes, it felt like a welcoming place for kids.

Getting Around – The Practical Stuff

"Airport transfer": Convenient, especially if you're flying in.
"Taxi service": Always available.
"Car park [on-site] & Car park [free of charge]: Excellent! Especially, if you’re driving.
"Car power charging station": A bit ahead of the curve, but great for electric vehicle drivers!
"Bicycle parking": Nice for those who want to explore the area on two wheels.

My Verdict & A Compelling Offer - (Yes, it's a little messy)

So, what's the deal? Is Kamloops Getaway: Canada's BEST Value Inn & Suites! really "the best?" Well, it depends on your priorities. If you're looking for luxury, a spa experience, or gourmet food, this isn't it. But if you want a clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay, with solid amenities, and a great pool, and it won't break the bank? Then YES! It's a fantastic option.

Look, this is a no frills hotel. And I had a good time and felt safe.

Canadas Best Value Inn & Suites Kamloops Kamloops (BC) Canada

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is a Kamloops adventure, scribbled on a cocktail napkin (metaphorically, of course, unless… well, we'll see). And it's gonna get real, real fast. We're talking Canadas Best Value Inn & Suites Kamloops, BC – bless its budget-friendly heart – and all the glorious, chaotic, and probably slightly regrettable shenanigans that entails.

Day 1: Arrival, Awkward Conversations, and Questionable Pizza

1:00 PM: Arrive in Kamloops. Okay, technically, try to arrive. The drive was a MESS. Traffic from Vancouver was a stinky, slow crawl of RVs and families arguing over who gets the window seat. Seriously, the collective sigh of western Canada was felt physically.
- Anecdote: My phone battery died. Of course. So I had to resort to old-school map reading (which, let's be honest, I'm TERRIBLE at). Ended up driving past the same gas station three times. The cashier gave me the look. You know the one.
2:30 PM: Finally, we stumble, exhausted, through the doors of the Best Value Inn. The decor is…well, let's call it "functional." The air has that distinct "institutional cleaner" smell that I've come to associate with budget lodgings.
2:45 PM: Check in. The front desk clerk, bless her heart, seems to have seen a thousand arrivals just like mine - frazzled, late, and possibly slightly smelly from the car. We exchange pleasantries. I promptly forget her name.
3:00 PM: Unpack (or more accurately, dump) luggage in the surprisingly spacious room. It's got a view of… the parking lot. Hey, at least I'm not paying for the mountain view, right?
3:30 PM: Attempt to use the "free" hotel wifi. Fail. Repeatedly. This might become a running theme. Sigh.
4:00 PM: Hunger pangs hit. Desperate. We order pizza from a place called "Pizza Palace." The name doesn't inspire confidence, but hey, we're hungry.
4:45 PM: Pizza Palace pizza arrives. It's… well, it's pizza. The crust is a little cardboardy, the cheese is suspiciously generic, and the pepperoni is, unfortunately, pretty good. I hate to admit it but I ate most of it.
- Quirky Observation: The delivery guy looks like he's seen things. Real. Things. I wonder what untold pizza-related traumas he's experienced. I'm thinking dark, greasy, and possibly involving a rogue pineapple.
6:00 PM: Struggle to stay awake. The long drive, the Wi-Fi frustrations, the cardboard pizza… it's all catching up to me. Decide to watch some incredibly dated TV.
8:00 PM: Early to bed.. The comfort isn't great, but the exhaustion takes over.

Day 2: Wildlife (Sort Of), Valley Exploration… and Another Pizza

8:00 AM: Wake up. Surprisingly well-rested, considering the motel vibe. The sun is shining. The mountains are gorgeous. Okay, Kamloops, you're starting to win me over.
9:00 AM: Attempt to use the continental breakfast. The choices consist of bagels, fruit, and suspiciously sugary oatmeal. The coffee, however, is surprisingly passable.
9:30 AM: Venture out in search of the great outdoors. We decide to try to go to a nearby nature reserve.
10:00 AM: The nature reserve trip turns into a scenic drive. We drive past a golf course. I start thinking I should have learned to golf.
11:00 AM: Drive along the valley. It's stunning. We stop for pictures. I'm happy.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure awe. The vastness, the colours… it just takes your breath away. It feels like the perfect escape.
12:00 PM: Lunch. We pack our own. The hotel's microwave came in handy.
1:30 PM: Attempt to find a local hiking trail.
2:30 PM: The hiking trail we chose turns out to be much steeper than anticipated. We end up hiking 1/8 of the way up.
4:00 PM: Back at the hotel!
4:30 PM: The Wi-Fi Gods smiled upon us. I decide to spend too much time on social media.
6:00 PM: I decide, after failing to find a restaurant to our liking. I don't want to risk it again, no matter how much I want it.
6:30 PM: We contemplate ordering pizza. The Pizza Palace. It must be good.
7:30 PM: More Pizza Palace.
- Messy Structure and Rant Okay, let's get this straight: The Pizza Palace is a problem. The quality is the same as last night, but what choice do we have? Maybe I'm an optimist. Or maybe I'm just very hungry, and they deliver to the motel.
9:00 PM: Attempt to use the pool. It's… smaller than advertised. Children are everywhere. Not ideal. Decide to skip it.
9:30 PM: Attempt to watch TV. The picture is blurry. I'm going to bed.

Day 3: Departure (and a Final, Desperate Plea for Decent Coffee)

7:00 AM: Wake up. The sun is shining. The room is… surprisingly quiet.
7:15 AM: Continental breakfast. Same sad choices, but this time I try the oatmeal. Regret.
7:45 AM: Final attempt at the wifi. Still. Nothing. At. All.
8:00 AM: Pack up and leave.
9:00 AM: Drive home.
9:15 AM: Stop for coffee.

This trip was an adventure. It had its moments of beauty, moments of frustration, and moments of questionable pizza. But even with its imperfections, it was real. And sometimes, that's what makes a trip truly worth remembering. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some decent coffee.

Kamloops Getaway: The BEST Value Inn & Suites - Or Is It? Let's Dive In! (The Unofficial FAQ, AKA Real Talk Edition)

So, is this place actually a "Getaway"? Or just…a place to sleep?

Okay, let's be real. "Getaway" sets a high bar, doesn't it? I wouldn't say it's a *romantic* escape. More like… a strategic pit stop. My first time? Driving across the province, dead tired, and the sign was just… *glowing*. Like a beacon of cheap sleep! And honestly? It delivered. Clean enough room, comfy enough bed. I crashed. Survived. So, "getaway"? Maybe not. "Respite from a harrowing road trip"? Absolutely. And sometimes, that's enough, you know? Especially when your wallet's already feeling a little bruised from gas prices.

What's the deal with the "Best Value" claim? Is it REALLY a good deal?

This one? This is where they *shine*, folks. The "Best Value" part? Totally legit, in my experience. I mean, compared to some of those soulless chains that charge an arm and a leg for a barely-there breakfast and a view of the parking lot? Yeah, Getaway's prices are usually pretty darn good. I booked a room once last minute because my car broke down (story for another time, let's just say it involved a very grumpy mechanic and a lot of roadside phone calls). The price? Saved me from a full-blown nervous breakdown. So, yeah, value? They've got it. Just... don't expect a Michelin star breakfast. We'll get to that later.

The Breakfast… is it actually breakfast? Or just…a suggestion?

Okay, the breakfast. *Deep breath*. Alright, so, it's… functional. Think instant oatmeal, maybe some sad-looking muffins, and the coffee you can practically see through. I'm not going to lie, the coffee's a gamble. Sometimes it's tolerable. Other times? It's the fuel of questionable decisions. Once, I swear, I saw a rogue bagel lurking, but it vanished before I could get close. It's not the Ritz, let's just say that. But! (Here's the silver lining) It *is* free, and hey, you're not starving. Pack some protein bars and you'll be fine. Maybe bring your own coffee. Or… just embrace the chaos. It adds to the charm, right? (I'm trying to be positive here).

What's the vibe of the place? Is it… clean?

Alright, the vibe? It's that classic "roadside inn" vibe. Think… a little bit of wear and tear, but generally speaking, clean. My experiences have been mostly positive. I've always found the rooms to be tidy, and the staff is usually friendly (more on the staff later). It's not a luxury resort, okay? But it's a comfortable place to crash. You're not going to find any fancy chandeliers or spa treatments. But you're also not going to be horrified. It's… solid. I'd give the cleanliness a solid 7/10. Which, for the price, is pretty damn good.

The Staff! What are they like? Are they helpful?

Okay, the staff. This one is a mixed bag, like some of the hotel reviews. I've encountered everything from the super-friendly, genuinely helpful folks who treat you like family, to… well, the more *reserved*. Generally, they're okay. They're definitely not the kind of staff who hover. Sometimes, getting a morning coffee refill requires strategic maneuvering and a well-timed "excuse me!” But hey, they always eventually get around to it. You can tell that they are working hard, as the hotel is almost always busy. They are not the kind of staff who will go the extra mile every time, but they are generally pretty good.

Are there any amenities? A pool? A gym?

Okay, let's be realistic. "Amenities" is a loose term here. There *might* be a pool. (I honestly can't remember, haven't used it). Expect a basic pool at best. The focus is on value, remember? So, don't go expecting a lazy river and a swim-up bar. Gym? Probably not. Maybe a vending machine with questionable snacks. Look, this isn't the Four Seasons. It's about the basics. A place to sleep. A place to shower (hopefully with hot water!). A place to park your car without worrying about astronomical fees. And in that, it delivers.

Parking: Is it a nightmare? (And the WiFi?)

Parking? Generally, no issues. Plenty of spots, which is a huge plus. No valet service, but hey, you're saving money! WiFi? Okay, so, the WiFi... Brace yourself. It's… variable. Sometimes blazing fast. Other times, it's like trying to send smoke signals. Bring a good book, just in case. I have lost many hours attempting to use the hotel's wifi. Maybe it is a test used by the hotel for those who take too long to get out of their rooms.

Okay, let's say I DID have a bad experience. What's the recourse?

Alright, let's be honest, not every experience is perfect. I can't promise sunshine and rainbows every time, but I can relate a story. Once -- and *only* once -- the AC in my room was a bit… dramatic. It sounded like a jet engine trying to take off. So I went to the front desk, they were super friendly about it and gave me a new room! Also, it was at like 2 am, so yeah, I was tired! But yeah. I'd say it's worth a shot to talk to the front desk; they will probably help!

Would you recommend Kamloops Getaway?

Okay, the big question. For me? Yes. With caveats. If you are looking for a cheap night, a place to sleep while passing through, or, or just a no-frills crash pad, *absolutely* yes. If you're expecting luxury? Nope. Go elsewhere. Know that itYour Stay Hub
