The staff at the front desk were friendly and accommodating, we asked for a couple wine glasses and he said they should be in your room before you get there. The only arrived a couple minutes later. We had a beautiful view of the city, it was all lit up for Christmas, just gorgeous. And a cute little balcony with a couple chairs and table. There was also black out blinds which I really appreciated. The climate control was great, and not too loud when it kicked on. The room was tidy and nicely laid out. The bathroom was great with a huge mirror lining one wall. The beds were a bit stiff, but not bad, lots of pillows to choose from and the sheets were alright, a bit loud when you moved but comfortable. One really nice perk was the complementary house coats in the room, that was a nice touch. Not sure if I would want to pay the summer prices for this room, but it was great for our price in the winter.

Our go-to hotel in Penticton! We absolutely love this…read moreplace--this is our 5th stay, and it never disappoints. Always clean, up-to-date, and well taken care of. The gardens are so nice it almost makes you want to pretend you know something about plants. On-site restaurant? Yep. Tasty food just steps away. The staff are amazing--friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care if you're having a good stay (rare these days). There's a pool and hot tub, which is a win, and the beds and pillows are so comfortable it's honestly hard to leave in the morning. If I had to dig deep for a complaint, I guess I could say there's no microwave. But unless you're planning to live off popcorn and reheated pizza, you'll survive just fine. Already looking forward to stay #6!

I was woken out of a deep sleep at 7:30 am by the Front Desk clerk on Thursday morning and asked if…read moreI could consider changing rooms as a group of golfers were arriving later that day and probably wanted all of their rooms close together. Let that sink in. 7:30 am woken up while I am on vacation to be asked if I could consider moving rooms? After the initial shock of worrying that something bad had happened which could be the only reason the phone rings at 7:30 am I can state that this is the worst customer service experience in a hotel I have ever experienced. I spoke to the Manager and she said I could choose to have a good day or bad day over this. Wow. The poor customer service example starts at the top. No wonder the staff are incompetent at this hotel. Never stay at this Ramada again.

I have got to promote this great family oriented RV park. After reading all of the reviews of other…read moreparks situated in or near Penticton, we chose this one from a bad review of another park that listed this one as family friendly. We were going to be coming in pretty late, so we called to give the park hosts a heads-up. They said it wouldn't be a problem and greeted us at 9:45 in the evening. Next, they were gracious to help us get situated, assisting with our little teardrop trailer and exhibiting "excessive niceness". The next day, Pat (wife of husband-wife team hosts) laid out an impromptu scavenger hunt for our little 4-year old daughter. It made her day and ours. The park is right on the water, next door to the city park and new splash-pad, and off the main road so it is quiet. We cannot say enough nice things about this place or it's management (the hosts)!

While the exterior design of the hotel left much to be desired, this location (although small)…read moreexceeded our expectations for Night 2 of a corporate trip around the Okanagan area. The pool and hot tub were great, you could tell that the chemicals were well managed (with a pool operator also stopping in at one point). It was cool to have the space of a balcony room, although it was empty without any tables or chairs. Wasn't sure quite what to do with the space. It has been very hard to find a double queen room that was separated, it was nice to be able to have that privilege. Staff were very friendly and made a noticeable attempt to be helpful.

Far below Coast Hotels standards - this hotel probably should have been plowed into the ground…read moreseveral decades ago, a very "retro" experience. - Parking is limited, and many parking spots were unusable due to the way many patrons parked further limiting the parking space supply. - Room was scorching hot, with only an ancient absurdly noisy window type air conditioner which even at 11pm it can't seem to adequately cool the room. - Most locks apparently do not work correctly, and require you to hold the key card "just right" to open the door. If you do not know the technique, it's unlikely you'll be able to enter your room or enter through an outer door. - Miniscule 10 sq ft / 1 sq m elevator, with a door that remains open for 2-3 seconds then slams shut with a huge amount of force, and oh, by the way, watch your step because the elevator floor is not aligned with the hallway floors. - Toilet is so close to the wall you need to sit sideways on it. Staff tried hard, and the room was well appointed, but the overall building structure is very, very tired.

Is this hotel really located in little sleepy Summerland? The Summerland Waterfront Resort is a…read moregorgeous hotel with lovely accommodations. We booked a room here for a short 3 night stay and were excited to find an internet rate of $71 a night plus tax. When I arrived, I was amazed at what such a low price can get you in Summerland!! I know it's not their peak season, but wow! Our room was ready when we arrived and we were excited to find an incredibly comfortable Queen sized bed, a full kitchen with stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and a big bath tub in the very modern and pretty bathroom. The room was small and a bit cramped, but that's mainly because they try and fit so much into a small space. Our room had a gas fireplace, TV, table and chairs, full kitchen, large armoire, full bathroom, and even a balcony with chairs and table. Everything felt new, fresh and clean. Some family members stayed in the two bedroom suite which had a partial lake view. They were supposed to be in the full lake front view two bedroom suite, but the hotel messed up. We had told them that we had 3 people over the age of 85 who would be sharing a suite. When we got there, they had put us in a suite with a great view, but it had stairs to a loft and the other bedroom was a Murphy bed that you had to move a 6 person table to access. Obviously that isn't going to work for our seniors. We were quite annoyed, but the new room was nice. It wasn't quite what we had asked for, but it was very nice. The full kitchens are really convenient, especially if you are staying a while. The bath tub had very high sides, and it could have used a safety bar or handicap bar to help you in and out. I'm only 36 and of average height, but the tub sides were really high for me and when you are wet, you could slip. They have free WiFi throughout the property, just ask for the pass code when you arrive and it's the same for every hot spot. Overall, the hotel is beautiful. You are steps away from the lake, minutes from downtown Summerland and the surrounding wineries. Penticton is a short drive away and I can't imagine there is anywhere nicer in the area.

Ordered a side of sausages, which were very pedestrian. Expected breakfast to at least include a piece of toast, which it didn't. The eggs were cooked perfectly for me, and the hollandaise was typical, probably packaged mix, but still ok. What I DID NOT expect was a $25.00 bill, and $3.55 for a cup of coffee!!!???? In the end, with tip, a $30.00 breakfast. I chose there because I wanted to support an independent restaurant in my town, instead of just going across the street to Denny's. Should have gone to Denny's.

I had actually been here before about 10 years ago with my parents and also loved it then. But with a huge group of amazing friends and family it was over the top awesome. Overlooking Skaha lake and only 10 min to Penticton this place cannot be beat. It is a throwback to a simpler time. White-washed Greek villa style home with eclectic, randomly designed rooms. If you like consistency, wifi and satellite TV...please move on. This place is not for you. But, if you like to explore finding new things around every corner, enjoying the simple things in life like amazing food (the breakfasts are insanely good - i will venture to say the best breakfast buffet I have ever had!), strolls in the hills, wine and cheese in your own little corner with view, picking fresh fruit from trees (the most amazing yellow plums, apricots, pears etc), star gazing, late night hot tub and lounging by the pool... then please do not miss this place. I cannot wait to get back!!!
