Across the reviews for Residence & Conference Centre - Kelowna, guests consistently describe a clean, modern, no-frills stay with friendly staff and a convenient location, while noting basic rooms that include kitchens but lack utensils or cookware.
Many also describe it as good value and a practical base for exploring the city. Recurring drawbacks include no TV, limited in-room coffee or kettle options, uncomfortable double beds, and AC that can be loud or hard to control; a few guests also faced minor maintenance issues or noise.

I found it good because it is all new apartments and decently located. However it is not exactly equipped to be thought of a hotel. There were NO utensils whatsoever in the otherwise nicely equipped kitchen. No coffee maker or anything. That was a big let down. The bed was made with the bottom sheet directly on the mattress insulating cover, no padding. Expect no room service. A pay coffee machine in the lobby is all. Nice common room with a pool table, fussbal and nice hangout sitting.

Good value for the stay, clean nice rooms, perfect location, really nice staff. Good laundry room. If you’re planning on cooking yourself be prepared to buy own kitchenware but other than that it is great.

It's a decent place to stay, esp. for this price point. Rooms are small, and to emphasize what they tell you, the kitchen doesn't have any plates, cutlery or pots. It is a "full" kitchen in the sense that there is a fridge, range and oven but absolutely nothing else. The small reading desk has no lamp. The facility is new, but there is no gym or other amenities. It's main purpose is for Okanagan College students during the school year.

Just bring your dishes and pots (not provided) if you are in the mood to eat in your room. Highly recommended, we will come back!!!

Not bad, but could be better. The good: The building and rooms are new, nice and clean. Full kitchen with a fridge, stove, and microwave is useful if you are planning to prepare the food yourself. You just need all your own utensils and kitchenware. The bad: The double-bed is mentioned in the description, and that's correct, but it's obviously too narrow for two people. No option for at least queen-size one. The description doesn't mention a TV, and there is no one. It's usually a default feature in every hotel and even a motel, but not here. No kettle or coffee-machine. Again, it's not supposed to be there, but would be nice to have. The ugly: There were no shampoo in the bathroom, though it's supposed to be provided. The microwave constantly stopped working due to a tripping electric breaker. The air conditioning unit is extremely loud, and there is no obvious way to turn it off on the control panel, which is really annoying during the night. Just the fact that everything is new and clean partially compensates for the drawbacks, otherwise the rating would be lower.

This was by far the worst bed I ever slept, and I’m normally okay even sleeping on the floor. All the bed sheets and cover were polyester which made my wife and I feel extremely hot all night and it was very uncomfortable for sleeping. Additionally it’s a central controlled ac and we couldn’t change the temperature at all. Sometimes the room would be 24 and the AC would not turn on, now add the polyester on top of it. Plus, the ac sometimes would turn on and the middle of the night the AC would turn off and make a very loud noise, which for a light sleep like was a nightmare. All the bedding items were probably bought from Amazon, you could see Amazon logos everywhere, the pillow was very uncomfortable, the mattress small, and the windows are very funny… don’t come out of the shower naked because the entire parking lot might see you if you don’t have the curtains down. The good parts: - Very big room, and it’s nice to have the oven and fridge. - Good WiFi - Friendly staff - Safe location and close to everything

Noisy neighbors early in the AM. Sounded like kids jumping or running from 6 AM Sunday morning for a couple hours. Thin pillows and towels. Asked for more pillows and there wasn't any. No TV. No dishes or utensils, so the kitchen wasn't useful. No directions to get in the place, No signage.

Rental is listed as a hotel but it isn't. Photos show a full kitchen yet nothing is provided except empty drawers and cupboards. No cups, glasses, plates, pots, pans, utensils, kitchen towels - nothing. No kettle or coffee maker. Room has no clock, no radio, and get this - NO TV. Even the dumpiest of motels have a TV. Bathroom came with one partially used roll of Dollar Store toilet paper. So, if you don't mind sitting on a couch, staring at a blank wall and at appliances that you can't use...this place is for you. Otherwise, svoid

The kitchen doesnt have anything in it. No dishes or pots etc. We would stay here again. Great pricing.

I stayed at this place for 7 nights. I was on the 3rd floor . The bathroom smelled like a sewer and the microwave wasn’t working.the windows are not insulated and there was students partying outside until early morning. I had to request the staff to change my room. They changed it on the 3rd night and although that room had no sewer smell there was zero views. I was looking on top of the roof. I paid so much money and the experience was terrible. The staff did not even ask to provide me a refund for the affected nights. That was really bad.

My suggestion would be to have a coffee pot in the room as well as eating utensils for summer travellers. Thanks for making my stay a good experience.

The property has a kitchenette but no dishes, cutlery, toaster,or coffee maker were available in the room. When we asked we were told that they had nothing. Not even a glass. The staff were kind to get us an extra towel, soap, and pillows but the amenities are pretty weak. Also, the mattress was extremely soft. On the positive side, it's in a great location close to beaches and lots of restaurants and grocery stores.

Not bad, but could be better. The good: The building and rooms are new, nice and clean. Full kitchen with a fridge, stove, and microwave is useful if you are planning to prepare the food yourself. You just need all your own utensils and kitchenware. The bad: The double-bed is mentioned in the description, and that's correct, but it's obviously too narrow for two people. No option for at least queen-size one. The description doesn't mention a TV, and there is no one. It's usually a default feature in every hotel and even a motel, but not here. No kettle or coffee-machine. Again, it's not supposed to be there, but would be nice to have. The ugly: There were no shampoo in the bathroom, though it's supposed to be provided. The microwave constantly stopped working due to a tripping electric breaker. The air conditioning unit is extremely loud, and there is no obvious way to turn it off on the control panel, which is really annoying during the night. Just the fact that everything is new and clean partially compensates for the drawbacks, otherwise the rating would be lower.

The microwave constantly stopped working due to a tripping electric breaker. The air conditioning unit is extremely loud, and there is no obvious way to turn it off on the control panel, which is really annoying during the night. Just the fact that everything is new and clean partially compensates for the drawbacks, otherwise the rating would be lower.

It would’ve been nice if we had a TV in the room and a coffee pot it was more of a dorm and an actual hotel room

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. Pros: - Wonderful staff; very friendly and helpful - Quiet - Clean - Hot water in the shower - Near the beach area Cons: - We couldn’t get the aircon to work (although we also did not ask for any assistance and we could have) - No kitchen items provided (pots/pans/plates/utensils). Knowing the room had a kitchen was a primary reason we booked with this hotel. Also worthy of noting: This building is actually the student dormitory for the local college. This was not apparent when we booked. As such, it makes sense why there aren’t any kitchen items in the room. This information is not in a negative way, I just think it’s helpful for anyone to know who is interested in booking. Luckily, we stayed here during the summer holiday month, so only a couple of students were in the building.

Rental is listed as a hotel but it isn't. Photos show a full kitchen yet nothing is provided except empty drawers and cupboards. No cups, glasses, plates, pots, pans, utensils, kitchen towels - nothing. No kettle or coffee maker. Room has no clock, no radio, and get this - NO TV. Even the dumpiest of motels have a TV. Bathroom came with one partially used roll of Dollar Store toilet paper. So, if you don't mind sitting on a couch, staring at a blank wall and at appliances that you can't use...this place is for you. Otherwise, svoid

Good value for the stay, clean nice rooms, perfect location, really nice staff. Good laundry room. If you’re planning on cooking yourself be prepared to buy own kitchenware but other than that it is great.

It's a decent place to stay, esp. for this price point. Rooms are small, and to emphasize what they tell you, the kitchen doesn't have any plates, cutlery or pots. It is a "full" kitchen in the sense that there is a fridge, range and oven but absolutely nothing else. The small reading desk has no lamp. The facility is new, but there is no gym or other amenities. It's main purpose is for Okanagan College students during the school year.

This is a great location the room was clean and everything looked brand new. Even though you have a kitchen they do NOT supply any dishes, pots, pans or cutlery. We were aware so not a surprise to us. Very happy with this location, we will be sure to tell everyone.

Once I found the right building the check-in was easy. What an amazing place to stay. As a solo traveler I felt very secure. I liked how the room was setup and could envision a longer stay. At night the place was very quiet and I couldn’t hear anyone. There were no flushing sounds . I almost wish to be a student again!

Bet sheets sucked. Toilet paper so thin and a lack of it. Should have a extra roll because 1/8 of a roll is not enough. Microwave keeped kicking out the main breaker for the first day of my stay. When I first found out they have no dishes which is OK I brought my own stuff. Front desk where great and very helpful.

It was very clean! The staff were friendly and efficient! I was a little surprised that there was no TV or coffee pot. But everything else was good. 😊
