Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott West Kelowna
Pool and hot tub are very nice, especially if you have kids. The fitness room was great, all you need for a solid workout and it’s open 24/7. Only had breakfast once, average options but over all, quite nice. Room was spacious, A/C worked perfectly, modern smart tv, big shower, not the best pressure ...
