After we had traveled all day from Edmonton, the front desk threw a wrench into the first night of…read moreour trip. We had confirmed a room advertised as "Pet Friendly | 2 Queen Beds." We had even put in the credit card they demanded to secure the room. When we arrived, one of the woman at the front desk told us, "Cats are not allowed." As if that wasn't insulting enough, they acted as though we should have known this - even after I showed my confirmation document that included a pet. "Oh, that's only for dogs," she insisted, not nicely. "You should have read the hotel policies posted online." I have traveled around the world, and never even thought of looking up a hotel's internal policy statements. A second woman at the desk looked at me sympathetically, clearly embarrassed by her boss' behavior. I tried calling the Best Western helpline. A woman there transferred me to someone calling herself Tiffany, who put me on hold a couple of times. Finally, she came back to tell me the same thing as the front desk, even though she had initially agreed that this sounded outrageous. Naturally, I asked her to give me a good reason to ever trust Best Western again. At this point, I cannot imagine putting any part of a trip in their dishonest hands. The first woman at the reception desk finally made a few calls, upon our insistence, and found us a room at a motel in Sicamous. I did appreciate that gesture and have reviewed the other place; interested travelers can find that on my Yelp page. Meanwhile, Best Western still has their falsely advertised listing online. I just found it and will paste the screenshot below.

Careful as this is a public safety health issue. They were advised of planned power outage but due to greed, neglected to tell their guests that Sunday June 23 will be without power but they will sure take your money. After the water issue our room smelled like sewage, water was brown and front desk staff did not seem to care. I'm disgusted that we allow businesses to conduct themselves like this in this country. This is flat out abusive conduct to treat people like this as long as we can line business owners pocket. Shame on sicamous and British Columbia for lowering your standard over the years. This hotel should be assessed for public safety issues. The day our ministries take lisencing and public safety seriously, we will be safe. Don't pay until you see the room, flush the toilet, run the water, look at and smell the mattress and take a look at window sill sheets and floors. You'll need to open the door for this as the lighten serves the owners. My rating does not exist. This hotel owner is hiding due to his negligence. My true rating comes with many negatives. Look out for your safety

I ALWAYS stay at Joe's on my semi-annual trip to the coast. It is almost exactly halfway to…read moreVancouver from Calgary. I don't like to drive straight through. The rooms are large, clean and well-heated or air conditioned (depending on the season). George and Lorry are accommodating and friendly and their rate for me is wonderful. Until recently, I had my black Labrador with me on my trips. Sadly, he has died now. If you are travelling with your dog, my only suggestion is that you bring a bed for him/her because the floors are hardwood and it will be more comfortable for them. The restaurant is very good and there is a Subway across the road and Tim Horton's next door. On my last trip, I noticed they had a "FOR SALE" sign in front of the property. It appears it is no longer operating. SAD! :-(

Please refuse this room if you're handed a key for your stay. Our room beside it smelled like feces after the flood. May have been sewer back up and owner did not change or replace mattress.

So I asked her if there was a problem and her response was that they don't normally do that. We asked if it could be done anyway....she responded with a scowl and replied I guess. We also observed another diner asking to redo their sandwich, for there was mayo on it and they asked for it to be dry. The waitress argued that dry didn't mean no mayo. The waitress didn't smile at anyone. The customers were told to seat themselves and then she would bark at them to move. I have never seen such horrible service.
