We really had a great stay at Empire Motel. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The pool was clean and fun for the kids. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating areas and BBQs. Absolutely will go back and have already started recommending Empire Motel to family and friends. You could really tell the owners and staff worked hard at keeping everything clean and cared for!! We had a family suite and it was perfect for our family of four. Looking forward to staying there again.

Fantastic Service
This is a nice little no-frills motel. It has a pool and a bunch of barbecues. The rooms are clean and comfortable. What makes this hotel special is the attention from the owner. I felt like I had a relative taking care of me. Estelle checked on me to make sure the room was great, gave me restaurant advice and helped me pick a route for the next leg of my trip. I’ll be back.

Friendly and very welcoming staff. We were in Penticton for the Gran Fondo race and it was the perfect stay for the weekend. The room was exceptionally clean, quiet, and spacious with a full kitchen. It was a short walk or drive to all amenities. It was a short drive to the race start or a 15 minute ride to the start. Lake was super close too. Pool was lovely especially with the heat in the Okanagan. It is obvious the owner is attentive to guests enjoying their stay. Highly recommend this adorable motel.
