    Better than a hotel

    The coffee could have been tastier. But that is a personal thing.

    This was the best motel I have ever stayed in. The staff were exceptional. The room was perfect. The most comfortable bed ever, lovely sheets. Coffee maker, fridge, microwave. So many towels it was better than a hotel. No joke, The Cactus Tree Inn should not be driven past. And it was the best value in the whole of BC. It is clear that the people running this place care. The details show that. Make this your choice you will not regret it. I stayed an extra night rather than take a risk down the road with anything else. 10/10

    It was ok, nice to support a family but for the money I would stay at the Coast next time

    It needs an update, pool wasn’t open but area around the pool is really tight. Check in hours are limited but apparently you can check in online as doors have codes not keys Cost was high for what you get. Coast would have been only $30 more and included breakfast. Would have been a much nicer place to stay.

    It is run by a family who lives on site, so we were happy to support them. It was clean, on the main street but quiet. Had a kitchenette that we didn’t need but was nice for longer stays. Good shower

    There were parts of the room where some cleaning was needed; splashes here and there which were missed. I leaned back in the tub and it was gritty.... It was very, very noisy every night and early in the morning. Both with people outside getting together and being loud, and with the walls being paper thing. I could hear someone sneeze (Literally) in the other room. I had hoped for a peaceful rest, and I did not get it. I woke up wondering if someone was in my room...at 1 in the morning.

    I liked that I could walk down the street to get coffee and a muffin. I liked the lighting and that the bed only featured sheets, not blanket. I liked soaking in a tub. I liked the key pad entry. I never met staff as I did everything by text, which wasn't a bad thing, I just cannot comment on staff since I never met anyone.

    It was very dirty. Hotplate liners were full of black dirt, toaster still full of crumbs. Fridges in bad need of defrosting. No maintenance has been done for a long time by the look of the inside the rooms and outside in the grounds, not even the gardens were attended to. Bbq was filthy, rubbish stored out in the open near the bbq facility which attracted flies. The cleanliness in the rooms was extremely poor. The sheets were paper thin and the pillows were more like cushions, the bedspreads reminded me of the 70s. One of the 3 rooms we booked did not have any kettle, toaster,cups etc fortunately we carry our own crockery and cutlery. Had we not paid for 2 nights we would have definitely found an alternative.The male owner/manager was very chatty but the female was not and it felt like she couldn't wait for us to get out of the office. The price charged did not reflect the quality of the rooms. Definitely not value for money. I also stated I would pay when I arrived but when we got there the receptionist had already taken the payment and didn't seem to care. There are lots of other motels in Oliver or move on to Oosyoos.

    The staff at front desk wouldn't acknowledge any of my issues. When I mentioned how dirty the room was, she told me that she has never heard that before. Any other issues I stated, were equally cancelled out by her response. She just didn't care.

    The bathroom door was brushing against the toilet upon closing or opening. 😳 It was paper thin walls - everything and everyone can be heard. The smoke alarm in one of the suites kept getting triggered too.

    The location. It is located near a plaza , restaurants, gas stations, etc. 👌🏽

    Run down. front desks front door was literally coming apart and couldn’t even open or close properly. Toilet in room was absolutely filthy. They either need to use CLR and replace their extremely stained or dirty toilet seat. Bathtub had dirty rings. Metal rack is hazardous and juts out into the very narrow space between bed and bathroom. And really shouldn’t be in such a narrow space.

    location and front desk clerk. after that. it slid rapidly downhill
