Travelodge by Wyndham Kamloops

The rooms were okay and had been renovated recently, with a clean bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast is included, and there’s a coffee maker in the room, though they forgot to clean it. I couldn’t use the hot tub or pool, but the water was warm. Since it’s near the hospital, you should expect to hear sirens now and then. It’s right across from the hospital.

My room was huge and very clean, and instead of a breakfast bag I got a small buffet with warm eggs and a waffle iron. There was plenty of parking, and the staff were polite and friendly. It wasn’t perfect: the walls are fairly thin, the jacuzzi jets were very loud even though they worked, and parts of the hotel looked aged. But it’s a 2-star place, so that’s to be expected, honestly. Maybe it’s under new management, but I enjoyed the stay and had a very different experience from a lot of other reviewers.

The beds were hard, car alarms went off at night, and the deposit process was confusing, with staff giving contradictory information. And breakfast? A brown bag with a fruit yogurt and muffin, with no choices, like a state-funded lunch program. I’d only suggest this place to people I don’t like.

The rooms were clean, but I’d strongly advise against staying here. The pool area was filthy, with mould on the floor and a black ring around the pool. I don’t think it had ever been cleaned. The ceiling air filter blew out black fluff, the change room was disgusting, and the hot tub was really just a warm tub with no jet pressure. I wouldn’t let a dog drink from the fountain.
