This is very character hotel with lots of interesting artifacts collected by the ownwer over years, this is not typical hotel with a hotel service etc. If you are looking for a comfortable star service this is not a right place for you but if you are up to some adventure/or something memorable you will find it there.

Kootenay classic. Rustic charm and great people running the place.

Gilles was great checking us in and showing us around. The history in this place is worth the stay alone. Dave your pictures for your friends and family and not social media. This is a word of mouth place that needs to be seen to believed. Can’t wait to get back

10/10 Exceptional

The manager was super friendly and easy going. Our room was upgraded at reception and was perfect for us, even travelling with two dogs. The price was reasonable and the area is nice and quiet with access to the Trans Canada trail nearby to walk the dogs. The artwork is the coolest pet. A very unique place out of the way. I would stay there again and recommend to others.

Friendly staffs! Really old building with small rooms. The place was totally crazy because it was decorated with abundant amount of paintings and arts. It was really interesting. Great place to stay when you need a break from driving.

4/10 Fair

When we last saw this hotel 14 years ago, it was very well-kept with a nice restaurant serving delicious food & drinks, and unique rooms with interesting artwork abounding. We came back this time to find the restaurant no longer in operation. The rooms are still unique, but the towels are old and thread-bare. The room was clean, but the ‘breakfast room’ and TV rooms were very dirty. The outside areas of the hotel have garbage all around. We should have stayed 14 years ago.

6/10 Good

Very interesting and historic old building with lots of old paintings anf artifacts in every room. The place was almost completely dead though on a midweek in July. Restaurant wasn't open and there were no other restaurants in this tiny town. The bar was closed when I attempted to enter at 8pm. The hotel room was basic but clean but I was disappointed by how quiet and empty it was.

All rooms are upstairs. The outer door is not secured with a lock but the rooms have new, secure locks.
Shirlee, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It is interesting experience for sure. However, the general Hotel condition is not great. Most importantly, the towels and bed sheets are dirty, everything is covered with dust.
Vyacheslav, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked that it is a historic old building and that it has an art gallery in it - lots of interesting art everywhere. Proprietor was pleasant, helpful and welcoming. As it is such an old building there are a lot of stairs to walk up and carry belongings, no elevator. I did not mind that but would not recommend to anyone unable to manage stairs.
Carole, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There were cobwebs on the walls everywhere even in our room. While the bed was clean, the restaurant was closed and there was nothing available for the continental breakfast in the morning … we looked twice to see if there was anything available.
