the hotel was by the railroad junction terminal. The rooms having the city view were exposed to the trains rumbling by at all times of the day and night. To mitigate the noise, management provides 1. earplugs, 2. white noise generators. if you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. My buddy had the room on the 6th floor and he said he could feel the vibrations when the trains were passing by.

Got put in a pet friendly room, but I dont have a pet. "City view" is more of a 'railway' view.. room comes with earplugs and white noise machine, not joking.

Didn’t realize when I booked it that it wasn’t just off the highway. That’s my error for not checking location on a map. The underground parking is where they make you park, but it’s open access to anyone and unmonitored and plenty of reviews and even signs on the underground lot mention not to leave anything in the car. I didn’t feel safe leaving my car there but there was no other choice. Got locked out of my room, the keycard would make the noise that the door was unlocked, but then the door would not open. Went down to front desk and got keycards re-keyed. Back to the fourth floor to my door, and keycards still did not work. It made the sound, but door didn’t budge. Went back down to front desk. They accused me of closing the latch (how can you do that from the outside? - just how would I have done that!????). They said maintenance would meet me at the door. All maintenance did was jiggle the door know and say “sometimes you gotta use force and jiggle the knob upwards, that’s all”. Made me feel like I was a huge inconvenience for not using body force to push door open and having the savy-ness to jiggle the doorknob upwards and not downwards like what is normal. Okay, if that’s so obvious and All staff knows this, why don’t you inform the guests when they say the keycards don’t work? While the hotel was great, and I highly recommend other signature locations, I would never say at this specific location again.

City view rooms overlook railway. Very noisy which is not mentioned on their website. Trains can run all night. Given this hotel is not a cheap option it should be mentioned ahead of time. Providing a whit noise machine and ear plugs is not a solution especially for light sleepers. Rooms were comfortable but fittings and furniture showed their age. common areas were not well cleaned. Convenient location.

The front desk staff that checked us in was not friendly or patience. The pool and hot tub were very dirty and never cleaned the whole time we were there and there was never any towels. There is a train out front and got stuck every time which was very inconvenient for getting to sporting events. We would r stay there again.

I am sorry to have to leave a bad review because the staff were friendly, however, our room on the 5th floor was directly over the trains that ran the entire night. We booked for 2 nights and were not able to sleep. Given the location, noise-cancelling headphones should be provided for these rooms. Also, our white comforter on the bed was blood-stained and brown (dirty neck sweat?) around the edge where one would tuck in. Last, as a matter of preference, I found the lighting too dim, especially in the bathroom trying to get ready for the event that brought us to Kamloops.

The property isn't maintained well. The wall paper was coming off the walls and the fixtures were out dated and rusty. The room was small and cramped, it was basically a hallway with a bed at the end of it. The staff don't monitor the property well enough to the point a person was able to come in and set the fire alarm off early in the morning. There was no apology from the hotel for the incident so the customer service is lack luster. There was also a lot of garbage left outside of the rooms that made the place look dirty and messy. Definitely won't be staying here again because its not worth the price point.

Hello Kaitlin, We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by the fire alarm, for safety reasons pull stations must be accessible in case of an emergency, this incident was unexpected, and we must handle all alarms with the highest regard for emergency. We are happy that it was just a false alarm, and again, apologize for the disturbance. I will speak with the agents at the desk during this time and deal with their lack of concern internally as we do pride ourselves in customer service and it seems we fell short on this day. Your feedback is very important to us, and we do appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

Noise from hallway and downtown was too loud, what made it more offensive was that for an extra charge we were offered a more quiet option right at the front desk as we're checking in.
