APPALLING! STAY AWAY!!! I REPEAT, STAY AWAY!

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 4, 2014
This place is the last motel headed East toward Alberta so rather than head back into Salmon Arm we decided to stay. One of the notes posted to the office door said knock on room #9 - a very messy, smokey room with a DRUNK guest who says he is the new manager. He took us inside the office, behind the counter in the laundry room! and wanted us to leave our credit card number with him, NOT! We gave him cash! Isn't there a law about the type of people who collect CC numbers?!!

This is the most run-down, poorly maintained accommodation I have ever seen and should be condemned by the city! Apparently the city of Salmon Arm doesn't respect it's tourists too much! There is mouse feces in the utensil drawer, water problems, mushrooms and the walls are paper-thin! Poor Business Practices!Disgusting!
Date of stay: January 2014
Room Tip: Do yourself a favor and stay!
Trip type: Travelled on business

    This is the worst place I have ever stayed under no circumstance will they give your money back includeing bugs in the room illegal and unsafe kitchenetts a raw sewage pipe burst the smell was awful and there was no water for over 1 day so no showers or toilet flushing fungus was growing in the bathroom its right on the highway so its very loud both adults and childeren were pepper sprayed do to one unsatisfied man not being given his money back over the sewage incident. This hotel is awful and about a 5 min drive away from salmon arm it is not the cheapest place to stay even though they say it is.. In two weeks my beding and towels which were soaked after 1 day and would not dry due to the hummidity and the inabillity to leave the door open due to noise bugs and smell were changed only once,, and only at my request...Which took 7 days because the manager is lazy (has notes in the kitchen saying if you don't wash the dishes you use you'll be charged for excessive clean up) there was no one in office, nor would anyone answer any of the phone #s posted of which most did not work. Just do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this place as possible. If I could rate this place any lower I would !!!

    I stayed at the Traveller's Rest Motel on Aug 29, 2013 and found the experience quite dissatisfying. Although it is a motel and most people would say "you get what you pay for," I have to say that Ive stayed at better ones that get 5 stars.

    Now, the positive feedback:

    -Friendly manager who showed me the couple of rooms available, which looked fine at a glance

    Improvements:

    -CLEANLINESS: Bed shoes had hairs and furniture was dusty, thus, sheets need to be changed every time the room is rented and furniture needs to be dusted here in then

    Lastly, although they advertise "free internet," this one didn't work. I could probably let this one slip since you are in a mountainous zone.

    Room tip: Ask manager to show you the room and check for things like clean bed sheets

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the travellers rest. As mentioned prior, the room was very basic but the new manager was very consciousness of our needs: ensuring we had ice for drinks, clean towels and enough coffee for our early morning departure!! The room was very clean, especially the bathroom, and shower which was very important. The highway is right out front which can be noisy but with chairs to sit outside and fresh mountain air, it can't get better than that. I will definitely be stopping in to this hidden spot next time I'm in BC; I appreciate developing a relationship with the hotel manager rather than just being another tenant in a motel!!Thanks Kelly!

    Room tip: I would be specific on what you are looking for, the manager was very accommodating to our needs

    My kids and I stayed there this past week and had a great time. The room was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The new manager went out of her way to ensure we had everything we required, and her friendliness and big smile made us very happy we had chosen the Traveller.s Rest Motel. The Motel is a little older and basic, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the new management is certainly doing what it takes to make it better. I would recommend this Motel to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and friendly place to stay.

    My family and I stayed at the Travellers Rest motel this past weekend and had a great experience. Our room was clean, comfortable and very well maintained. The new management is doing an excellent job, and any inquiries we had were met with genuine concern for our comfort. This motel is working hard to pick up their reputation and I would say that are succeeding vastly. The rooms are basic, but if that's all you're looking for, this motel has my full recommendation.
