Place was clean and cozy. Only issue is the windows need a sheer covering for when you want the windows open but don’t want people looking in as they walk by.

NOT A RESORT
This place was very disappointing from a vacation stand point. This is not a resort hotel in the least - no restaurant, crossing a very busy street to lake beach, no amenities, two lights in the room, no clock, very small bathroom with damaged sink, ventilation in bathroom not good, very small TV, no one in the office, communications via phone or text only. Over priced for what you get for room and services. The only thing good was the bed comfort.

The motel is old and largely has not been updated, except for the bathroom, which is ok. The worst is that it is poorly furnished. The impression is that the owners are waiting to be purchased by a developer.

n room, good size even with king size bed. My only issue was the lack of light, a floor lamp might help that. Maybe add a picture to the wall as well. Can’t beat the location and the proximity to the beach and several restaurants next door and along the beach front. Would stay again.

Okanagan Lake Resort - Location and Clean!
Very clean facility. It is older and somewhat worn, as you would expect. The location is perfect!! Steps from the beach and great food. The convenience of the location is excellent. Not having to fight for parking along the beach to amazing. Great value for the price. Friendly staff.

Beachfront; appeared recently renovated and painted; sparce regarding furniture; another 1 -2 chairs would have been nice; NEEDS bathroom & kitchen fans and over kitchen sink lighting; great access to laundry facilities; needs complimentary ice machine on premises; a few more kitchen utensils would have been nice, including non stick frypan; designated parking would be appreciated!! Especially with the current rental rate!

Good Time
My son and I stayed just for one night to attend a show in Penticton. We had a very comfortable stay. The check in and out was easy. It was lovely for 1 night and would probably be a fun place to stay in the Summer. Just really easy going, quiet and clean.

Functional comfortable rooms. Kitchenette is quite small but works with all utensils cooking and cups/plates. Would like to have wine glasses to enjoy the okanagan wines. Would also like to see some artwork on the walls as it felt a bit too austere and could have a bit more pizazz. The location cannot be beat with beach across street and numerous restaurants close by.

The Okanagan Lakefront Resort was so poor we left and drove home after staying in the room for 20 minutes, after having to ‘self-check in’ which I am sure was due to the condition of the place. The building is in terrible shape – the stairs to the second-floor room have exposed plywood on them, with a piece holding a very insecure stair rail that was dangerous. The room was terribly dated, with no screens for the windows, and smelled so badly of strong cleaners we started to get headaches within a few minutes. There was a length of dental floss left on the bathroom floor, and the decorating was basically from the 70’s, as was the furniture, we were deeply upset and felt ripped off. We ended up leaving and driving home, arriving at 130am. I really feel the pictures and descriptors misrepresent the Okanagan Lakefront Resort. This is a dive quite frankly and not worthy of the name or price, which was the most expensive available to me for our general criteria on the Expedia site.

Just ok Room itself though is clean and quaint Check in was weird though as was told straight out if there was any thought of drug use the owner just just storm into room. That was a very first Not sure how or why this is called a resort as no hot tub and no amenities Just $125 to sleep over

Thank you for your constructive criticism. We will take what you mentioned into heart and strive to improve for you and future guests. The 'Resort' title can confuse some though we do state what we have, amenity wise, clearly. The Hospitality Association do have strict regulations and check lists for us before we can use the name 'Resort' in our names. So we are within that checklist to do so. We will definitely strive to improve our guests stays always.

Ironman trip!
I primarily looked for a place for the Ironman event weekend that can give me and my family a decent place to stay for 5 nights. And my judgment is....it was superb! It was roomy, we have our own kitchen, quiet, parking is just in front of our room, lake is 62 steps away, service was good, restaurants are walking distance and it was close to where the Ironman finish line/village. I slept well, rest well and became an Ironman for the first time! So if those are a factors for your next Ironman trip in Penticton,BC then it’s been said and done. Happy trip!

Clean and friendly, but not a "Resort"
Don't be fooled to think you're going to the Penticton Lakeside resort (ahem like I was), this is an old school beach strip motel from the 60s. The word resort should be removed as it's clearly intended to confuse people. On the positive side, the owner and staff are very present and keep the place in good shape, and ensure the partiers stick to the rules. The rooms are clean and in good shape. The air conditioning is really loud however, with no setting to just leave the Fan on at all times - not great for light sleepers.
