Please keep in mind when you read this review that we are accustomed to staying in budget motels/hotels. When we are on vacation we only sleep in our room for a few hours and that is all. No need for anything fancy, clean is about my only must have.
That being said. This has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. The only other place I think we have enjoyed as much as this was a very quaint old hotel we found many years ago in the Catskill Mountains in New York state. This place offers everything. It is SUPER CLEAN. In fact, it is probably as clean as my own home. It is SUPER QUIET at night. It is a very short car ride, or a modest walk to beautiful downtown Salmon Arm, and close to the Trans Canada #1. It is SUPER PRIVATE. You are in a loft in a detached structure with a garage underneath of you. No one is sleeping/living beside you, under you or above you. There are many thoughtful touches, such as a sensor light that comes on when you pull into the parking space. There is a mosquito screen on the door, so you can leave the door open and not get eaten alive if so desired. There are cookies, tea, filtered water etc waiting for you. I never met Earl, Ruth is very courteous, but leaves you alone (which I like). There are very few flaws to this accommodation. If I was to be nit-picky, I would like to see more windows. We love a very cool room to sleep in and nights in Salmon Arm tend to get nice and chilly, so more windows and a box fan would be amazing, however there is air conditioning. Also the shower head is too low. Gee, I’m really having to dig deep to find the cons here. I really loved my stay here. I will DEFINITELY return if this place is still offered next time I visit Salmon Arm.
