One review for The Lakeside Resort Penticton
All Reviews
Another first to review - yelp needs more folks from the BC Interior!
I was a bit apprehensive coming here due to the negative comments on TripAdvisor. I was worried for no reason!
I booked into a business class room which I totally recommend - it was $189/night on the long weekend. It's about 40 dollars more a night from the standard and totally worth it. I had a king room with a lake view. Wi-fi internet is free in the business room ($5 fee if in a regular room). Business rooms also have the king bed option, complimentary bottled water and turn down service which includes a cookie and apple before you go to bed - how can you go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie?? Complimentary breakfast also included at the Hooded Merganser resto on site - lovely water views. The extras are totally worth the additional money IMHO.
I didn't use the pool or amenities so can't comment on those.
Tripadvisor has a lot of negative noise reviews so I don't know if I just lucked out or if it's only a problem during grad season. No issue with noise for me (well, the heating unit is a bit noisy but most of the older hotels are) and smooth check-in and check-out. I came in at the same time as the pilots from my flight and this is the hotel they use as well - the check-in person said that they are always booked in the "quiet" part of the hotel, so might be worth asking for if you're staying on a party night.
Only downside for me is the bed - the mattress isn't that great but I've definitely slept in worse. Overall a nice stay.
