I loved the location and the walkability to stores and cute shops! Unfortunately the room was not very clean (dirty floors and coffee maker etc) but the bed sheets were clean and the beds comfy!

The hotel rates 2 stars on Google - 1 for good wi-fi, the other for having a full size refrigerator in room. The 3 it is missing are for: the lack of any hot water...at all!!; the coffee pot with a lid that didn't match the spout, so you had to pour sideways like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland; the last for ambience. Dim and dark in the rooms.

Dear Tamara,Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the hot water issue, it might be due to your room's distance from our hot water storage, requiring a longer time for the hot water to reach you. We suggest letting the water run for a bit before use. We'll address the mismatched coffee pot lid and enhance room lighting to improve your stay.We value your feedback and are committed to improvement. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Took me a while to figure out how to turn the shower head on, you will have to pull down the hidden nozzle under the faucet, never seen anything like that in the US, could be a Canadian thing?

The Canterbury Inn was a great place to stay for the weekend. It was clean and quiet and had all amenities needed for a few night stay. It is simple, but definitely fit the bill for a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Invermere.

We have come here many times and what we like best is that it’s within walking distance to downtown and our favourite restaurant, The Station Pub. There are few hotels in Invermere. It’s a good price, owners are sweet. It’s an old place but was happy to see they exchanged the rugs for hard flooring. The rug in front of door could be bigger but that’s minor. Not the place for people who like newer, fresh and modern rooms.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for sharing your experiences with us! We're thrilled to know our location and the value we offer contribute positively to your stays. It's great to hear you've noticed the updates like our new hard flooring. We appreciate your suggestion about the rug and will certainly consider it. Thank you for highlighting what makes us special, and we look forward to your next visit!

Meh, a motel, dont expect too much
Hot water was non-existent. Wasnt able to take a shower. Went to the hot springs and took a shower there instead. Front desk person, was nice and was clear about it the hot water issue . Its a motel, so dont expect too much. Beds were iron and springs. Mattress thin. Heater didnt work either. So wore my jacket . Close to several restaurants which is nice. And close to the ski resort. Bathtub had spiders crawling around. Was there when i entered the room and when i checked out.

They don’t clean your room or restock necessities during your stay. Anything needed has to be asked for at the front desk. ie coffee, towels, toilet paper, etc…..

Response from Tracy ~ Motel Manager on 31 Oct 2023
Thank you for your feedback Antonio, and sorry to hear this is how you felt. We always tell guests at check in, that if they need anything else, to not hesitate to let us know. Therefore, we were unaware that you needed extra supplies...if we didn't hear from you during your stay. We do not enter the guests rooms without their permission here.

Signs of previous users smoking in-suite (used shower cap covering smoke detector), the suite was in poor repair (toilet loose and banging on the floor), and the bed was worse than a hostel. They acknowledge they are the cheapest hotel in town and use it as an excuse to run slack. Lesson learnt spend my money somewhere actually worth $200 a night
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023
Response from Motel Manager on 4 Sep 2023
Sad to hear this. It was obvious the moment you stepped into the office at check-in, that you were a heavy smoker....the smell was so strong, which is why staff directed you towards the picnic table area to smoke when here. We also do not supply any shower caps in the motel. Our housekeepers cleaned that room, on the morning of your arrival and did not detect any smoke from the previous guests, nor did they see any cap on the smoke alarm. So therefore, it is your word against theirs.. As for the other issues, we appreciate you bringing the toilet problem to our attention, it will be a simple fix, so apologies for that inconvenience. We will also aim to improve on the mattress quality. Our peak Summer rates (before 15% taxes are added) are based on many factors, including location, especially with it being over a long holiday weekend, and within a 10 minute walk to the beach. They have since gone down this week for Fall Season.

The room was clean, but was about as basic as you can get. The bathroom didn't have a towel bar, no chair, No table. No matter how much a room costs. There are some things that every room should have.

Thank you for the feedback Sarando, and sorry to disappoint. Had you booked our Standard Queen room, you would of had a table to sit at. The Basic Queen room type that you selected, has limited items and is cheaper in price for those reasons.

This property is middle of town. Good location. But facilities is very old. the room smelled. Internet connection was poor. If the price is around $90, it’s OK. But Not worth paying $230 for a room.
Response from Tracy ~ Motel Manager on 4 Sep 2023
Sorry to hear this Hitomi. Your family stayed with us during our peak summer time, and these rates are reflected upon the motel (as you already said) being within a 10 minute walk to the beach/lake, as well as all the shops & restaurants. Sadly we cannot control the BC Taxes that are added to the regular room rate :)
