What guests think

Trans Canada Motel is an older roadside stop with mixed feedback: several guests found clean, basic rooms at a budget price, while many others reported dated facilities, maintenance problems, and inconsistent cleanliness.

Location suits drivers with easy highway access and nearby food options, but it can feel out of the way for walking and a bit far from downtown. Rooms are dated; size and comfort are acceptable for some, but noise can carry through thin walls and from nearby trains. Service ranges from friendly check-ins to reports of rudeness, unresponsiveness, unexpected charges, and unhonored rates. Expect a no-frills budget stop that works best for a quick pass-through.

Some of the in-room amenities (electrical outlets) didn't work, room had multiple smelly fridges, and general condition of property was poor (broken glass and garbage scattered onsite).

Very run down. Both our rooms needed repairs. Was charged more when we checked out. The reason he gave us was that he changed one of our rooms so we were side by side. My room didn’t have microwave, but my friends did. After increasing our rate, he told us we were lucky

The price on expedia was not honoured. The tv was so old shows were distorted hooked up to new cable box. Washroom should have been cleaned better. I would not recommended this place.

If you value cleanliness, peace and quiet, stay far away. It was out of a horror movie... Never again.... Yellow stains on sheets . No AC. Bugs everywhere. Sketchy place, very run down and dirty. Not well maintained at all.

The manager is rude, dismisses concerns, doesn’t setup room cleaning unless asked. The facilities are in poor condition, very old, dusty, grimey and not welcoming. He said he’d give me a deal on my next stay and when time came to do it, he didn’t follow through.

The front staff was rude, charged me extra claiming the reservation was under a different name because i used my mothers m/c to hold the room, yet the email i recieved for confirmation was in my name. I was then called at midnight from the same gentleman claiming we were "talki g to loud" and that if someone called him again with se complaint he would kick us out. There for the rest of my stay was spent laying on the bed with tv turned down low, unable to catch up with Fiance that i hadnt seen in over 5months. Not to mention the room was dirty!! I do NOT reccomend this motel.

The receptionist was a nice gentleman. Once we paid and got the key, we went straight to the room. The coffee maker had not been changed since last user. Toilet door when you closed it (although it could not fully closed) was so filthy with dried material on the walls (blood, feces who knows?) the toilet bowl was not properly cleaned, it was a dark green so a bit hard to see, the wall where the toilet paper was filthy and the shower curtain was moldy. The worst stay ever, the bed covers were dirty but the linen although you could see through were clean...too tired to complain....went to complain the next day but there was a note that said they did not open until 9am just to leave the key. Very disappointing stay! Never again! It is a shame as we go to Kamloops from time to time to visit relatives.

Lots of parking space. Friendly desk clerk. Older facilities but you can tell they try to keep things looking clean and tidy. Would suggest they spend some money on better shower curtains.

This is not a destination motel. It is quite old, yet clean and comfortable. I was at the Wynn in Vegas last week at $1,000 and night, and enjoyed the simplicity of this much better. Also enjoyed the coffee maker in the room. If you're passing through and just need a place to sleep and shower, this works! Ill be back again.
