Great spot.
Its a quiet clean area. They are clearly upgrading the property which didnt have an affect on our stay. We got a newly renovated room with a living/kitchen area. The staff were very accommodating and checked in with us to make sure all was good often. The little restaurant had amazing food too. It certainly doesnt feel like you are close to the highway either. We will definitely come back if we are in this area again.

Accommodation was good. Clean room and recently renovated. Beyond that, nothing special. Probably over-priced for the type of motel. Not a 'resort'.

Absolutely amazing. Would not want to stay anywhere else while in Nelson. The owners are wonderful as is the food at their restaurant. The view from the hotel can not be beat. I’d give them 10 stars if I could .

This place is way better than we anticipated. The room was very clean with new appliance and new flooring. The bed is very comfortable either. There is a small living room with couch , dining table. You can see the lake right outside the room. It’s worth every penny we paid.

The suite had a separate bedroom and a full kitchen including plates, glasses, cups, silverware, toaster, microwave, cooking utensils, and even knives and serving utensils. Quite a nice surprise. I go to Nelson every Summer and have stayed in many of the local accommodations. This one is definitely one of my faves now.

Although an older facility, it is well maintained, very clean and excellent staff. The location is beautiful with an amazing view overlooking the lake and mountains. It is a 12 min drive from town so quiet and peaceful.
