Sahara Courtyard Inn - Penticton, British Columbia

Baptiste-CH

Week end prolongé en Colombie britannique oblige, les hôtels de Penticton étaient totalement pleins. Nous nous sommes résolus à prendre celui-ci, le seul avec des disponibilités...et pour cause! Aussi cher qu’un bel hôtel (220$ ttc la nuit!) ce motel est pour ainsi dire la caricature du motel nord américain. Bruyant, emplis de clients au mieux inintéressants, au pire tout droit sorti du dernier épisode de “narcos” rien n’était à la hauteur: l’accueil? Un jeune homme - visiblement le fils du propriétaire-arrive à la réception visiblement exaspéré de devoir interrompre sa partie de PlayStation- et nous jette les papiers à remplir à la figure avant de s’empresser de disparaître pour continuer sa partie pendant que nous remplissons les papiers. La chambre? Pouvant accueillir 4 personnes, la fenêtre donne sur le pallier et tout un chacun peut nous y admirer. Le lit? Le matelas, pourtant particulièrement épais est parvenu -chose singulière!- a rendre nos deux dos douloureux! A cela s’ajoute un oreiller “décoratif” plein de taches blanches pour le moins suspectes ! La salle de bains? Assez neuve il est vrai, mais les échantillons de shampoings étaient...réutilisés! Bref, à moins d’être contraints et forcés, passez votre chemin voire partez en courant!!

Images trompeuse, la majorité de la clientèle est peu recommandable. J'avais malheureusement donné ma carte de crédit et j'ai perdu 3 nuits dans cette dompe car j'ai transféré dans un autre Hotel, le Ramada inn tout juste de l'autre côté de la rue ou c'était wow! NE RÉSERVEZ PAS LÀ un point c'est tout! Bonnes vacances car Penticton très agréable d'y être

Great place for a group vacation. Good money-value rate. Dog friendly. Workers were nice and helpful, especially Raj. The family rooms were very convinient, with a kitchen, and were cleaned when we requested. The kids loved the pool and there's a nice space with tables to sit outdoor and enjoy BBQ. Walking distance to river and lake. Highly recommend.

A group of 6 couples stayed at the Sahara Courtyard in Penticton this past long weekend. The rooms were spacious, very clean and updated. Our room had a full size fridge which was perfect for storing beverages 🙂 The courtyard has a large L-Shaped pool with large patio tables and chairs. This was a perfect gathering spot for our group. Raj was most gracious in helping with our reservations and any incidentals we needed. We were so impressed that we have booked for next year ! Thank you for great memories. I would recommend this place especially if you want to get away a bit from the noise of Lakeshore Drive. PS: Timmy's is right across the road! |Donna S|Thompson Valley Miata Club

Well at first I wasn't sure when I drove up, I have had a bad perception of places like this but didn't really get that vibe. The room was nice for the money, well kept for the most part and the man at the front desk was great!! He made me feel welcome and was very helpful! We got the 2 queen suite with the kitchen for the family, which would have been more for a 2 queen with just the bathroom at the next place up. There were cheaper places but I chose the middle and was very happy!

We only stayed here for a night but it was still an overall great stay. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with enough amenities to accommodate all of us. We had two room with 7 guests and a dog and were all pleased with the spacious and calm environment. There is a gas station and a Tim’s just a short walk away allowing for a great breakfast specially if you’re on a road trip and don’t have too much time. The courtyard was great and allowed for us to play card games and w got the scenic and aesthetic feel. It was unfortunate that the courtyard closed at 11pm as it was a highlight of the stay but also understandable.

The only setback was the pool. We went for a swim at around 8pm and there was a lot of dirt in the pool. This included dead bugs and hair which caused an unappealing effect and we did not want to stay in the pool for long. It was the end of the night but the pool should be maintained a bit more.

Bussiness trip and only needed 1 night. Our room was very clean. Basics like microwave,coffee maker and TV + AC all in great working condition. Salt pool was nice and cool after a hot days work. Close to many different restaurants and canabis/liquor store. Walking distance to channel float or lake beaches. For the price, the location alone is worth it. Had zero issues. Even have enough room for my big moving truck to park so it can be safe.

Good experience! We had 17 family to stay and they made it work. Beds were clean and comfortable. Pool was great for the kids. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Would definitely visit again. Good accommodation for the price. Convenient fast foods nearby.
