This place was the perfect place to stop on our trip to the coast from Calgary. Very friendly staff, clean and very cozy room. Lots of parking to fit our truck and cargo trailer we were pulling. I would definitely recommend.

Bed was really comfortable. Shower was good and hot. Lots of property for my dog to roam around in. It's not fenced, so if you dog is the type that wanders off you would need to keep it on a leash

Liked clean and warm room. Frienly desk clerk on arrival. Disliked beds very hard, pillow on one bed very hard, low quality bedding, no glasses, no ice bucket or directions to get ice, no in room information pamphlets ie: tv instructions or wifi , or front desk access without going outside to knock on office door.

We were in a group of 6 and had booked 3 rooms. One person was moved as their original room that hadnt been cleaned. Then the room they were moved to had 14 ladybugs within the room. Management did deal with the ladybugs, but still. Another room had dog fur all over 1 bed. And all rooms did not have any blankets, only 2 sheets, which made for a very cold night. Over all we didnt get much rest We had to book a different hotel for our second night in Sicamous

It’s an older motel but we’ll taken care of. I was greeted by Vic, he was a very personable innkeeper. Made me feel at home. There is a sign on the office door that says, and I am paraphrasing, you may come here as a stranger but you will leave as friends. Vic made me feel that way!

Wonderfully friendly people. Felt like they were happy to see us arrive. Check in was quick & they bothered to know who they were waiting for to arrive. I said my last name & they used my first without looking it up. They are making improvements but it’s very clean & everything worked great. I think they will make it a really great place to stay with extra amenities

Great spot! The yard was a lovely addition to the property. We spent the evening on the swing chatting, in the morning we picked plums from the trees. This property has great potential for a community space, making the motel very welcoming. The host at the front desk was so friendly and full of information. I would recommend the Monashee Motel to anyone passing through Sicamous!

Thoughtful and caring. Provide extra large servings with the coffee machine complete with colourful and large mugs. Hot water already in machine and extra cream in fridge. Host asked us if we had eaten and was concerned because there weren’t any places open when we arrived. Comfortable beds and the place was Clean! Very good sound proofing on the road side and we had a wonderful sleep. You could tell that they cared about your stay Andes wanted you to have a good time. Thank you!

New owner and is the middle of updating the suites and getting the building into better quality. Kind and very accommodating while in the midst of taking over all the books and booking and the many dropped balls from the previous owner. p.s. I have stayed here during the previous owner as well and the upkeep then was horrendous.
