This motel is located in blue River British Columbia. It is in fact owned by a very nice helicopter skiing company that has a resort just across the highway. The room was clean. The check-in was excellent so many expectations. What was really good was in the middle of this little town. The restaurant is in this hotel and the food was good.

As the place transitions, Signage would be beneficial as the “office” looks more like a realtor’s outlet. That to the side, a clean and comfortable place.

It is a beautiful area and the motel was clean. It needs some upgrading - the shower was not very good at all, no water pressure. The bed was okay but definitely worn out. A beautiful spot and with upgrades it would be an excellent place to stay.

Motel was quiet but the doors locks could be more protective.. as a single in remote area that was the only uneasy thing I could say… no front desk staff on duty and their other property across hiway closes at 8 so if there was an issue who is there to call? The rooms are older and maybe geared to men who snowmobiie in the area and the restauraunt attached was closed for season so convenience store was option.. maybe a late night pantry with frozen foods and snacks, necessities for late arrivals which are routine in Blue River would be worth a go! The rooms are tidy and clean, new flooring and super comfy beds in the suite I was in:). kitchenette well stocked but I could not find an iron. I would stay here again however I wonder if I was in one bedroom with kitchen and adjoining room was occupied how sound proof it would be. The front desk gal Emily I think her name was was super helpful when the 5 hiway into town was closed and we weren’t sure if it would open in this instance I was impressed with their flexibility and these things are also factors which bring customers back. If you have pets this is a perfect spot as no carpet and clean floors easy access to outside walking areas:)

I liked that there was a proper restaurant on site. Could use a breakfast service as well. I had an issue with the TV and the staff was quick to check it out. They couldn't fix it and moved me to a different room. They were quick and responsive. The rooms were clean and my bet was excellent. I did find both rooms a little musty, and that is with hard floors so I can't say where it came from. I would stay again.

Cute and good value, but three of the lightbulbs in lamps weren’t working and there was no hairdryer in the room. I asked for one and it was delivered quickly and at first it seemed to be working, but after it ran for a couple of minutes, it started sparking. It was later in the evening and I couldn’t be bothered to ask for another one.

The bed was comfy, check-in was confusing, the office was on the opposite side of the highway to the Motel. That wasn't mentioned before arrival. Nice scenery from the bedroom window.
