Hotels near Sandy Acres Berry Farm in Salmon Arm

Originally I looked forward to writing this review thinking I had found a great little hotel with big clean rooms, friendly staff and an even better price but I was very wrong. Check in went smooth the woman was friendly and answered all my questions only thing I want to mention is we were told absolutely no cooking in the room or we would be charged and there was a $100 deposit taken. We were only given one physical key instead of cards but no big deal. As a friend unloaded the vehicle with us a staff member came out very concerned there was a third guest that had not been charged for. After assuring her he was only helping unload the bags she returned to the office. Once in the room (102) we were pleasantly surprised to see the size of it however the layout was a little odd. The bathroom was positioned off the back bedroom so you had to pass by the bed to use which could be inconvenient had someone been trying to sleep. While there was plenty of open space in the rooms the table could have been a little larger but it did what it needed to. It had the usual amenities like microwave, coffee pot and a full size fridge which was nice. The heat in the room was uncontrollable and extremely high, we closed off the floor registers and opened up the back windows which made it tolerable. The only complaint to say about the room was the lack of a bedroom door, the privacy would be nice and also a bathroom fan is generally good. Highway noise was less noticeable than expected and the beds were decent so we both slept well. Now next morning I went over to front desk at about 10am and informed the woman that we would like to extend one night and would be over to pay for the extra night, she insisted it had to be paid by 11:30am. At 11:26am (Telus cell phone time) a staff member began banging on the door raising his voice telling us to get out of the room. We were very confused as we had just got shoes on to go pay for the extra night. Once the door opened up it was clear we were not going to be paying another night. We tried our best to explain we were walking to the office but the staff did not want to hear it or care. Repeatedly we were told to get out of the room, even as we showed cash in hand to cover the room charge and apologized for cutting it down to the last minute. Finally we couldn’t take it any longer and closed the door (11:31am) thinking maybe someone else who worked there would come and correct this staff members behavior but unfortunately that didn’t happen. We sat confused and wondering how things turned this way so quickly and decided to offer one last time to pay for the extra night, we even pointed out that it would be quicker to pay the extra than it would be to pack up the room but they wanted nothing to do with us. We packed up as quickly as possible and left the room in great condition with no damage, no big mess and nothing missing. We then went to the front desk to ask for the $100 deposit to be returned that was taken off a debit

We stayed for two nights in an obviously new Hotel--but who cares about new when there is ZERO regard for Customer service. We both have Titanium Status with Marriott and so I asked if there was any breakfast offered for Elite members. The Check-in Agent says ”there's Breakfast right over there--doesn't matter who you are” And jerked his thumb over his shoulder. I asked if we could get an upgraded room--He says ”it's the long weekend--and looked at me like I had just fell off the Turnip truck. I then asked if we could get a late check out because of my arm burns it takes a while to dress them each day. He says ”what time?' 2:00 pm please No I can only do 1:00pm-It's the long weekend” I said yes but the long weekend will be over when we checkout”. He says ”that's all I can do”. Ok then . When we got to our room there was no water bottles and the outside temp at that time was 36',so I went down and asked a different Agent if we could have a couple bottles of water ,in his defence he was just about to point over and say yes when a different Agent looked over his shoulder and said ”Check and see if they took the 1000 points” He then says ”you took the 1000 points so you have to pay for water” I said really? REALLY? And said no thanks I'll drive downtown and buy my @#$%& water. These people, starting with the Manager should drive one hour back to Kamloops and take a lesson in CUSTOMER SERVICE from the DELTA Hotel there. We had just spent the previous night there and the difference is in my review of that hotel. We like everybody who eventually gains ELITE Status earned it by spending our money but mark my words it will not be at this hotel. And please do not reply with your standard form letter. i don't want to read it. Instead--train your Staff.

Returning from Vancouver to Vancouver, I planned to stay at kamloops because the snowy night road was too unsafe and I found this hotel in Ctrip. The accident is that the hotel is really good value for money, giving us a very good experience. The room in the twin room is oversized and the beds are king size, which is a bit of a surprise.

The hotel is in a quiet location and the rates are reasonable. Internet is good and breakfast is ok. Cleanliness/housekeeping seem to be on point as well. Would definitely recommend this location for those who need to stay in the area.

We called to request early check in since we were ahead of schedule and front desk said we could check in at 130. Upon arrival she stated it still wasn’t done but she’d switch it around and give us the “emergency room” instead as ours wasn’t ready, which was so appreciated. We entered the room and there was finger prints and sticky mess on the microwave and fridge door, the bottom drawer of the oven was hanging and there was left over garbage in the garbage bag in the kitchen. The coffee table opens and my daughter found someone’s travel neck pillow and a Gatorade label left behind. I called and asked someone to come and reclean the room and they said housekeeping was gone for the day but they’d be by in the morning. The next day she dropped a toy behind the couch so I pulled it out and the amount of dust, dirt, a loonie and someone’s ear plugs confirmed no one had cleaned under there in many of stays. We checked out shortly after that as I was quite grossed out, the lady at the front was unfriendly and didn’t smile once and I decided it wasn’t worth my while to even complain. I did laugh at the sign at the front desk which speaks to their “top to bottom sanitization with the same products used in health care facilities” to prevent spread of the virus. This room was hardly even cleaned, let alone sanitized. The hot tub was broken, there was only one pool towel for the 10 people that were out there. The freezer wasn’t cold. We were provided 2 towels for a family staying in a suite. The only highlight was that it was Vernon rib fest and we got a delicious rib dinner lol. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We stayed three nights to explore the area. Room was comfortable with parking at the door for ground floor rooms. Staff were exceptional. The ladies running the hot breakfast room did a great job and very friendly. The grounds around the motel were well kept. Tim Hortons next to parking lot. Mexican food at La Cantina was great for Burritto. Indoor pool was very good for a motel but I didn't use as it was very humid inside.

Stayed here halfway to and from Banff. It was clean and there were not many breakfast varieties. You can make your own waffles. The hotel is relatively close to the railway tracks, and you can hear the sound of the train passing by, but it did not affect sleep.

I arrived at the hotel at 3 am and called the hotel door. The front desk is like an Indian and Pakistani. The facilities are old, but they are relatively clean. Breakfast is rarely taken by itself.
