This place got me out of staying in a bed bug-ridden hostel in nearby. It was the only place in…read moretown that was open late (I think it has 24-hour check-in). The owner/manager person was very friendly, despite the fact that we had to wake him up in in the middle of the night to check-in. The rooms are modest, a bit dated, but clean (the shower looked like it could've used a good scrub though). Also, breakfast was included and even though it it was a pretty modest breakfast, it was better than having to go out and find something to eat when you want to get going in the morning.

We paid $147 per night for two people, which was too much for the value received. We stayed 3…read morenights. The first off-putting thing we encountered was the sign saying "NO BOARDS/SKIS IN THE ROOMS" or a $250 fine would be assessed to our credit card. I mean, I get that maybe some careless kooks may have caused damage to rooms in the past, but most people can manage having boards/skis in their room without issue. After all, one goes there in the winter to ski or ride. It is not convenient to pack/unpack your snowboard/ski bags without it actually inside the room, especially if it's snowing. The other issue was the hot tub. It was not hot. Warm maybe, but not hot. This was due to the cover being a 1-2" cheap piece of foam versus a proper hot tub cover. Overall, the hot tub area just wasn't very inviting. The beds were pretty uncomfortable (hard) and we joked the pillows were plastic pillows b/c they had this lame plastic covering on them and then a pillow case on top, as if one would trying to protect a bed from a child peeing on it. We couldn't have paid extra for the kitchenette if knew we couldn't use it. The cookware was useless unless we wanted to whip ourselves up a cancer omelette in the morning. The Tephlon on all the pots/pans were chipping profusely. Not safe. As a result, we could not use the stove. Just the microwave and fridge, which the cheaper non-kitchenette units also had available. Also the only sink in the room was the sink in the kitchen. It's time for the kitchenettes to be updated. Positive things: Close to Red Mountain (5-10 min drive), decent shower pressure, rooms were clean enough, heaters worked well, friendly staff (as long as the owner didn't discover us sneaking our board bags inside so we could pack/unpack our stuff).

We've stayed here a couple of times and think it's just great. It's in a great location and the…read morestaff are friendly. We usually get a private double room, which has everything we need. There are shared washrooms with decent shower hours. The shower's water pressure was weak, but still did the job. There's parking, which is good. No air conditioning in the rooms and the bugs and moths seemed to like hanging around outside the window screens. We stayed upstairs - there's no elevator so make sure you're able to carry your things up a flight of stairs. Overall, a welcoming, clean, quiet place. We would stay here again. PS - we've also stayed in other hotels in Nelson, and, honestly, for the value, I prefer the Dancing Bear - especially since we spent so little time in our room.

I highly recommend this place, its central to just about everything in Nelson…read more I stayed in the 8 bed dorm rooom for the weekend, the staff was very kind and helpful.

Urine stained box springs, bare wires ( not sure if they are live) Stove is older then me, No pilot lights , Gas filled the room when I went to cook ( I did ask for a kitchenette but guess that didn't mean a functional kitchen) Bugs in the lamp shades. Total gross place to stay, I do have pictures and videos to back up claim..

We unfortunately had to leave early due to smoke from wildfires in the surrounding area. Art was very gracious about our early departure including not charging us for the day that we were not able to use. We certainly hope to visit again when the air quality is better and we can truly enjoy the beautiful view of the Columbia River.
