We stayed twice in one week at Saddle Mountain Lodge and both times were awesome. Everything went smoothly and the staff were great, Sina remembered me when I checked in the second time. We loved the rustic feel and will definitely be coming back.

Our stay at the motel was great. A very short walk around and to the lake. The area was kept very clean, view of mountains beautiful. You have to stop in at the restaurant as the food and staff were great .

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:)

Pretty old style unit. No air con, lots of peeling paint. Double bed is small and soft so difficult for two people to sleep in. Check in is across the road - this is not clear in the instructions. Great coffee provided 👍

The Saddle Mountain motel is our trusted "go to" place whenever we're travelling West to East or East to West.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The only positives are that the room was visibly clean and you can park your car right in front of your room. Other than that, it was a very disappointing experience. The room was tiny and uncomfortable - one of those places where you feel like you’d rather sleep in your clothes. Some of the furniture was bizarrely mismatched, with parts from completely different designs. Even the bathroom had signs of poor maintenance: instead of a hook on the bathroom door, there was only the base of the hook left. The light in the table lamp was flickering as well. The walls are clearly not soundproof - you can hear the bathrooms being used in the adjacent rooms. There were also some strange people smoking right outside our room, which made the whole experience even less pleasant. And to top it all off, there is a junkyard directly in front of the motel. I truly regret deciding to stop here on the way from Edmonton to Vernon. Next time, I’ll drive straight through rather than stay here again.

The room was fine equipped with microwave fridge and coffee tea. The place was very clean the bedding comfortable.. however, at this moment in time, I would not recommend staying anywhere in blue River. There was literally nowhere to get food other than a burger bar.. two restaurants were not open for the season yet, one had closed due to roofing issues. I could not recommend saddle Mountain Lodge to any visitor at this time because of the foregoing.
