Review from Lady G.
Okanagan Lake, BC
1/14/2011
As good as it gets here in the Okanagan.
The hotel is clean, safe, centrally located, within walking distance to the beach and the best 'downtown' shopping in Penticton.
I would say that you may want to ask if your room is situated anywhere near or above the bar/club at the hotel... if so, it won't be a comfortable sleep for you.
The hotel has a nice breakfast place (indoor and a patio) on the north side of the hotel. Also, you are a very short walk to the restaurant called the Hooded Meganser. You can have breakfast, lunch or dinner there (and order in.) It is probably Penticton's best restaurant.
The Lakeside is right near the Penticton Farmer's Market (on Saturdays before noon.) This is the best farmer's market in the whole Okanagan!! You shouldn't miss it! -
Review from alison t.
Mission, BC

Two stays - two different experiences.
First stay - they asked us to take a "lakeview room". That means over the bar, for those keeping score. Even with the patio door closed, no sleep happened, and not for a good reason. There was no phonebook or guestbook in the room (for room service).
Second stay - like staying at a completely different hotel. Cookie and apple turndown service.
Bonus: casino :) incredible lake view breakfast at the onsite restaurant (included in our package) :) -

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.
