Top hotels in Academy Hill
Sandman Hotel & Suites Kelowna
The staff were very friendly, I had to get my room changed as it was very dirty. The other room I got was cleaner but still not very, there was hair in the tub and stains on counters. I only stayed one night and won’t stay again.

Oasis Inn
The owners of the hotel clearly care about the property and take care of it. The rooms were very clean and well outfitted. The hotel surrounds a pretty courtyard that is blocked off from the roads with green space & a pool. I thought it was a nice little place.
