Myself and some girlfriends stayed at Empire Motel and were pleasantly surprised with how clean the rooms and the pool/bbq area were. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and in a great spot by Skaha. We will definitely stay again!

Amazing Stay , Super Clean & Family-Friendly! We had a great time at the Empire Motel! The rooms are newly renovated and spotless, and the owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming. It’s in a great location—just a short walk to the beach, with lots of parking. We loved the pool and BBQ area, perfect for hanging out with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!

This hotel is extremely well appointed and convenient to the area. We were impressed buy the amenities available outside where there’s a large pool, numerous lounge chairs, picnic tables and multiple BBQ’s that would make this an excellent venue for a family reunion. The manager is extremely professional and friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
