I had booked the Valhalla Inn on short notice and was pleased that they had a ground-floor room for us. Our visit was so delightful that I felt compelled to write a short review of the Inn. The Inn is bright and roomy and impeccably clean and well-maintained. The rates are very reasonable and the service is first-rate. It's centrally-located within easy walking distance of the lake, town centre, and a short drive to the internment camp. There's a gas station and convenience store kitty-corner from the Inn. Our room looked out into the back raised-garden area. We were told that a bear and her cubs had been seen in the yard the previous day scrounging apples; unfortunately, they didn't pay us a visit. However, we did see them close-up down by the lakeside later that evening. Wow! The Inn has a small bar and restaurant. The meals are home-cooked and very hearty. The lady-of-the-house made us a wonderful breakfast early the next morning (before formal opening hours) that filled us nicely for our drive home along the Crowsnest Pass. We felt so at home that we even took a selfie with our hostess to commemorate our stay. We will happily make this a regular stop on our travels through B.C.

Our server Richard was very professional, pleasant, and provided excellent customer service for the entire dining experience. The special Christmas menu offered a good variety of choices and 1 combo meal that had the traditional Xmas meal that came with soup and a slice of pumpkin pie! My meal was a solid 5 stars. I ordered a well, well done (no pink) filet mignon meal. Let me tell you, compliments to the chef. I believe his name was Chef Paul. This was a perfectly seasoned piece of butter tender well done fillet mignon and the broccolini with potatoes and wine sauce really set it off!!! The entire staff at Hume Hotel displayed the Holiday spirit and professionalism and was a joy.

Hume Hotel & Spa - Hume Restaurant (Nelson, BC) We had an…read moreexceptional Christmas dinner at the Hume Restaurant and were truly impressed from beginning to end. We arrived last minute without a reservation, and despite how busy the evening was, the team graciously found a way to squeeze us in and seat us beautifully. That alone set the tone for an outstanding experience. Our server, Richard, was absolutely wonderful--professional, kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His service elevated the entire evening, and we felt well cared for the whole time. My mom ordered a well-done filet mignon (she doesn't like any pink at all), which can be a very difficult request. Somehow, the kitchen delivered a steak that was still tender, juicy, and full of flavor. She genuinely said it was the best steak she has ever had, complicated order and all--which says everything. I ordered the steak and prawns, cooked medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We began with soup: I had the homemade borscht, which was comforting and delicious. My mom had the autumn squash soup, which was equally flavorful and well balanced. For drinks, my mom enjoyed a White Russian, and I had the non-alcoholic cranberry spritz, which was refreshing and thoughtfully crafted. Dessert was the perfect ending: Pumpkin pie for my mom Turtle cheesecake for me--absolutely decadent and memorable What made this experience even more special is that we traveled all the way from Spokane to dine here, and it exceeded every expectation. From accommodating us last minute on Christmas to the impeccable food and service, everything was exceptional. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the Hume Restaurant to anyone visiting Nelson. A truly top-tier dining experience.

Disappointing Stay - Poor Sleep Due to Constant Noise, Faulty Heater, and No Real Compensation…read more We checked into The Adventure Hotel in Nelson on January 10, 2026, and checked out the next morning after a very frustrating night. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we discovered the TV wasn't working at all, so no chance to relax and unwind as planned. The real issue was the lack of sleep. The wall-mounted heater/cooling unit produced a loud, intermittent buzzing noise that went on all night - impossible to ignore. The floors were extremely creaky; even walking to the bathroom woke up my partner every time. To top it off, around 4 a.m., someone in the room above us started moving furniture or chairs, creating even more disruptive banging. When checking out, I politely explained the issues to the front desk staff and mentioned I hadn't slept at all due to the constant noise. I was hoping for some goodwill, like a significant discount or a future credit, but all we received was a generic apology and a note that the room would be added to the repair list. They also mentioned we could have called for a room change (they had availability), but who wants to pack up in the middle of the night, move, and try to settle back in just to get a few hours of rest? We've stayed at the Hume Hotel several times and always had excellent, quiet, comfortable experiences there. We decided to try the Adventure Hotel this time for a change, but it was a big mistake. The location is central, but the noise issues made it impossible to recommend. If you're a light sleeper, I'd steer clear and stick with more reliable options like the Hume. Would not stay here again. 1/5 stars.

Sometimes it's hard to see people in the caves and I actually thought this guy was a statue. The main pool feels like Luke warm water and the cold plunge is only big enough for maybe 4 people at a time. The caves are really the most desirable place to be if you like it hot. This place was overall much smaller than I expected though. We soaked for over and hour or so and then got ready for our dinner reservations and dinner was really great! It was about $150 for four of us to eat up there in USD. We grabbed some ice cream bars from downstairs as well for dessert. I liked this place and one night was enough. We arrived around 4:30pm, had dinner at 7pm and were in bed by 9pm. The next morning was a soak and then get ready and go. Great trip and lovely customer service.
