Top 10 Thompson Rivers University Hotels

We were blown away by the quality of service at the delta hotel in kamloops. The staff were friendly and efficient, everything went smoothly starting with our checkin, the front desk agent made the gesture to congratulate us on our engagement. The pool area was spotless and well maintained. We were also impressed with the food at Cordo restaurant, coming from Vancouver we have no shortage of great restaurants, and I would say that cordo is very on par with the dining experience in Vancouver. The menu selection was fantastic and cocktails were also very thoughtful. Make sure to check out stills distillery while staying at the hotel for some tapas and cool drinks. Thanks Delta Kamloops, we will be back!

While there is still some renovating going on (the pool area hasn't been finished), this friendly hotel, just off the highway, offers great value with fantastic, newly-renovated rooms. The decor of the room I stayed in (king size bed) was peaceful and modern with great tv service. Close to a couple of restaurants and a popular coffee shop just a few minutes walk (you can also get free coffee in the lobby) away, the hotel was a great find and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it any traveler.

This was our allocated hotel on our overnight stop with the Rocky Mountaineer train, but I think we would have very happily chosen this for ourselves! Modern and clean, our room was vast, with a separate lounge/work area, large comfortable bed with plenty of pillows, fridge, microwave and coffee make (but no kettle) and good storage for a few days if you needed it. The bathroom was large, with a shallow Bath under the very good shower (only overhead at about a 45 degree angle, but excellent pressure and temperature made it easy to use anyway). The provided toiletries were mostly in fixed refillable bottles on the wall - great to see less plastic waste. Lots of towels provided! There was also a complimentary breakfast, the first we had seen during our Canada trip, although we were unable to use it due to eating on the train!

Originally booked another hotel. Our order was cancelled due to a mistake by the agent. We were unable to check in after arriving at the hotel. We immediately contacted Ctrip customer service. The customer service was very serious and responsible, and immediately helped me understand the reason. We waited a long time to help us to book this hotel of the same class. The room difference was borne by Ctrip. We completed the check-in at BEST WESTERN PLUS within 5 minutes. Although there are some twists and turns, Ctrip still has a quick response, fast processing and Ctrip is reliable. Let's talk about this hotel. The facilities are good, two large beds, the room is large, about 30 square meters, and there is a sofa bed, a coffee table, desk, swivel chair, high cabinet, microwave, refrigerator and so on. There are shampoos, conditioners and shower gels. Like other foreign hotels, please bring your own toothbrush, toothbrush and slippers. On the first floor of the hotel there is a breakfast room, a standard buffet Western breakfast, bread, eggs, quiche, yogurt, bacon, drinks, etc. All guests have meals. The service staff was polite and friendly. There are parking lots in front of and behind the hotel, free parking. Turn right out of the hotel, cross the intersection, and opposite is Canada Superstore, which has everything in it and is very convenient. Next to the supermarket is WENDY, burger fries, and it tastes great. The hotel is very close to TRU, less than 10 minutes walk, it is the first choice for our parents who send their children to school. Will live here again.

This was our first stay at this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised about the age and condition of the hotel. It is reasonably new and has a large airy lobby with multiple sitting areas (which was empty when we were there). We stayed at the tail-end (we hope) of the pandemic for a chance to try out this hotel when it wasn't too busy or too expensive. There are two Holiday Inns in Kamloops, so watch the address. This is the one on the North Shore (across the Thompson River from downtown). There is another that is close to Hwy 1 & Hwy 5 on the way into town from Vancouver. There is a White Spot Restaurant on site where we ate dinner & breakfast. I will review it separately, but the food was excellent, prices were mid-range to a bit expensive (breakfast $15-$20, dinner $15-$30). Breakfast is NOT included with your room cost at this hotel. Both hotel and restaurant followed all COVID protocols in place at the time, even having sanitized pens available for check-in. The hotel and room were very clean. We were comfortable & and slept well. The only glitch was that on check-in, we were told that the accessible room we had reserved wasn't available. They had reassigned us to a regular room, thinking that we didn't really need the accessible room. When I asked, the cheaper rate of ”any room available when you check in” was granted, rather than the more expensive rate we had booked online to be able to choose a specific room. Another time, as well as booking online, I will phone the hotel to confirm that the room type we have booked is available. We found out that this hotel has only one accessible room, so don't expect to stay in it at a busy time unless you book well ahead. We were able to tour this room before we left town and found that it would meet our needs in the future. It has a very nice roll-in shower. Light switches are also lower than usual, but the rest of the room was very similar to the regular room with one king-sized bed that we were assigned. If it wasn't for the check-in glitch, I would give this hotel a rating of 5. We will likely stay again and would recommend it to visitors to Kamloops, especially if you want to be on the North Shore. It would be a very nice option not too far from the airport, if that is important to you.

I have been meaning to write this review for several months. Back in mid-June my spouse and i were in a horrific car accident just outside of Kamloops. We left the Hospital around midnight, and we were able to secure a room especially since it was a weekend. We left the hospital with nothing. Our car was destroyed, and our clothes were cut off us in the emergency room. We walked out the hospital with donation clothes and in horrible pain. The hotel staff were incredible, due to our accident they reduced the nightly rate and helped us with providing essentials for the bathroom. The front desk staff went above and beyond to check to see how we were recovering and if we needed anything. I would like to express my sincere thank you to the Sandman Hotel Kamloops Front Desk staff, cleaning staff and Hotel management for helping us in just a horrible time.

So we stayed as part of our Rocky Mountaineer tour through western Canada. So in its self the hotel is ok room was clean with air con bathroom a tad small. Best thing where the hotel staff who where really helpful. Not sure however that it’s of a standard that the Rocky Mountaineer trip suggests it should be. Kamloops itself is a bit of a one horse town and we where glad it was just a one night stay.

The room is very well equipped, there is a massage shower room very comfortable, there is a rabbit in the hotel yard, quiet

The room is facing the street and the noise is loud at night. The small refrigerator drip is also very noisy. Breakfast is quite simple, count as basic breakfast. You can park for free, pay attention to the area, the front desk will register the license plate number, and put a strip on the dashboard. The traffic is full. There are 7-11 blocks per block, and there are not many things.

I have always liked the Accent Inn chain and have stayed with them many times, mainly in Kelowna. The staff are invariably helpful and friendly and the hotels are generally comfortable. But they are not especially suitable if you are working. There was a desk in Room 207 in Kamloops but not a desk chair - the chair was sort of like a modest dining room chair. You couldn't adjust anything on the chair and because it was not on wheels it was difficult to move around on the carpet. The lighting is too dim, partly because 2 lamps in the room didn't work. I couldn't use the one on the desk itself because I had to use the outlet for my laptop. And note - I had to crawl under the desk to plug my laptop in. There is track lighting on the ceiling aimed at the desk surface but it does not cast enough light. Although check-in is posted as 4 I was not able to get into my room until almost 5. The next morning - no caf coffee only decaf. That was rectified on my second morning.
