Compare 4 airports near Salmon Arm
For most travelers, Kamloops Airport (YKA) acts as the primary gateway to the region. It is not located in Salmon Arm, but rather in the nearby city of Kamloops, and offers the most efficient balance of travel time and accessibility for those heading to the city center. Kelowna International Airport (YLW) serves the nearby city of Kelowna; while it often features a higher volume of flights, it remains a secondary choice for Salmon Arm unless your specific route demands it. Both Penticton Regional Airport (YYF) and West Kootenay Regional Airport (YCG) are significantly further afield in their respective cities of Penticton and Castlegar. These options are generally less convenient for reaching Salmon Arm due to the extensive road travel required. When deciding, prioritize YKA for its relative proximity, or YLW if your flight availability is constrained. Always book your ground transport, particularly private shuttles or taxis, well in advance as regional services are not as frequent as in major metropolitan hubs.

Salmon Arm|1.17km from city center
The room was spacious and comfortable, and the surroundings were nice. However, there was a machine on the outside wall that looked like an exhaust system. It was very loud and ran non-stop 24 hours a day, seriously affecting my sleep. I reported this to customer service, but instead of changing rooms, they gave me some earplugs, which were of poor quality. I give it a bad review.FromUS$130

Location was perfect for me as it is within walking distance to the main attraction which is the wharf.
The spacious room which is bright with ample lighting and has a beautiful view overlooking the lake.
However the restaurant is not great for the 2 times I visited. The steak was hard and the Artic char was not fresh. When told to the waitress, she simply looked at me and said the fish is frozen.
Overall the hotel atmosphere is very pleasant and resort like.FromUS$178

When I checked in a 'security' deposit was taken from my credit card without my knowledge or my approval. I only found out because my bank always sends me a SMS message when my card is used. It's a very long time since I stayed in a hotel which requires a deposit. I checked out last week and the deposit has now been returned.
We stayed in the block behind the main building. It was a motel style room with car parking outside. The room was clean and everything worked. The beds were comfortable and there wasn't much noise from the road.
Breakfast was basic, with little choice. It felt like everything was done to keep the cost down.
Hilltop Inn is a cheap hotel. You get what you pay for. I will probably dig a little deeper next time I stay in Salmon Arm and stay across the road at the Fairfield.Good111 Reviews

Although this is a hotel under the Travelodge brand, it turns out to be more like a basic motel. The actual condition is quite different from the photos shown.
First of all, the room facilities are outdated. The lighting is inconsistent, with both warm and cool tones due to mismatched light bulbs. The window-type air conditioner produces a lot of noise. The TV couldn’t receive any signal, and the cleanliness was below expectations. Only about a quarter of the showerhead was functioning properly, and the fridge did not have a freezer compartment. The breakfast is just better than nothing.
The only positive aspect was the friendly attitude of the front desk staff. Overall, considering the price, it was not worth the value.FromUS$83

Great place to spend the evening while travelling through. I liked the idea of the indoor swimming pool to unwind after a long drive, but there was LOTS of families staying in the hotel and LOTS of kids so that didnt happen. But for the price, the room was great!FromUS$120

It was in line with expectations and the location was easy to find. The breakfast was nutritious enough, but the variety certainly couldn't be compared with that of a five-star hotel. Home-cooked food would be more comfortable. My friend is also coming to visit, so I will recommend it to my friends.FromUS$116

Adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway so getting back on our drive from Banff to Vancouver was very convenient. Salmon Arm is about halfway to Vancouver or Banff and this makes the motel a perfect overnight stop.
The bedroom is separated by a wall from the dining table, fridge and coffee maker. The bathroom is very clean and you can park in front of your own room.
Checking in and out took no time at all.
The owners are very friendly. FromUS$72
