Staff is great. I didn’t look that closely when I was booking. This is a great little 2 star motel, if you like 2 star motels. It is dated. Someone is feeding pigeons so there are fifty pigeons hanging around. Parking isn’t very good. Narrow spots and not many. Location is good. So it’s a great little two star motel! Probably won’t find better. Price is decent.

For a place to rest your head in comfort, it is superb. Super clean, comfortable, surprisingly quiet considering it is on the highway through Vernon. The upstairs is very secure as there is a key-code lock on the door to the stairway. It is a hair awkward to get in and out of, but it is our go-to place when we need to spend a night or two in Vernon.

Staff have taken the time to update the rooms and property overall. Check-in was easy and they had the room on the lower floor as requested. This is a property I think most would over look but that would be their mistake. Room was clean and updated. Nice also that they have worked out discounts for the nearby restaurants too. Parking lot was a bit crowded but there was also street parking nearby. We will be keeping this place on our list should we need another stay in Vernon.

Simple budget accommodation. Friendly staff, easy parking, conveniently located on main road. Lots of traffic noise - to be expected. Pillows could use an upgrade. Room complete with fridge, microwave, desk and TV, heat and aircon as well. Right across the road from Boston pizza.

So the property like many motels in the valley is old but it’s been maintained and updated and for the price cannot be beaten. I think the staff and I assume the owners are supper dedicated to making the business a success. The lady who checked us in was kind and accommodating and the man actually took us to our room and explained everything, advised us where to park our truck advised us to cover things up inside the truck (there are a lot of transients in the Okanagon Valley so I get it) which he followed up with we have not had a problem, so in my mind he was going the extra mile to make sure he did everything possible so the stay would be good even for things outside his control. I wish them all the success in their business if they are the owners, if they are the staff I hope management recognizes them as the key to the success of the place and why they a high 8 rating.

This was a throwback to our family road trips when I was a kid, except the room was super clean and the proprietors are super nice. Also, the room was spacious with a kitchenette and dining area. The familiar hum and occasional rattle of the air conditioner - the original white noise machine! - kept the room comfortable on a hot and smoky day.

The property is in good condition for its age, the front desk staff was very nice and take you to the room to show it to you, if you have sensitivity to cleaners and perfume type things don't go here. The rooms appear clean but to give that added sense of cleanliness they spray a scented liquid all over the rooms and the sheets and bedding have a very intense smell of this as well.

The staff is very nice and accommodating, that is definitely the most standout aspect of this motel. The weakest point is the condition of the linens/sheets/towels. There are many stains on the linens which is very off-putting as guests can't know what those stains are from, and these come into direct contact with the body and can't be avoided. Please consider bleaching all the fabrics, replacing the fabrics or using industrial laundering service. The area of the motel is very noisy with traffic, I know there is not much you can do about that. But maybe you can put a bit of foam sound insulation around the doors or something, which could help. Other than that, the rooms are very clean and you can see the management tries their best. Wishing Silver Star Motel continued success.

The staff were excellent. Kind, helpful and accommodating. The bathroom floor had not been mopped and was quite dirty during my stay but that was minor to me. Good value - much more affordable than other hotels/motels in the area. Good location. I felt safe staying there with my young baby.

The room was quite clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. However, I noticed a lot of stains on the towels and some on the bedsheets/blankets/pillowcases. This makes me a bit uncomfortable because I don't know what those stains are from and these things directly touch your body. That is the only major flaw I noticed. Other than that the traffic from the road is a bit loud, but I know that is hard to control.

Property, although dated appeared to be well maintained and clean. The shower head was phenomenal. However, I did not have a good night’s rest. The window style air conditioner was very noisy and when I shut it off and opened the windows, the traffic noise was just as bad all night long.

Didnt get past check in. Lobby was dark, cramped, overheateted with an air conditioner that wasnt working properly. The check in clerk was hard to understand never mind the addition of the glass partition. Then he wanted to rn my card mor than once, with a damage deposit fit for a 70s Rock Star. I got irritated with the situation as i felt my questions were not being answered. Then he declined my stay there. That was ok by me.

The hotel was older and worn. Everything was clean. It's located on a very busy street with lots of truck traffic and emergency vehicles with sirens. I got the sense that a lot of the previous tenants have damaged the property because they charged me a $300 deposit and showed me how to operate everything in my room that could possibly cause damage.

I picked it from Expedia as it was very reasonable and had decent reviews. However, on check-in, I was advised that they required a damage deposit in addition to the room fee. Now, I am 81 years old and have never been asked for one before, so I found this upsetting. The representative said that the requirement was in the 'fine print' in the Expedia information. I subsequently looked, and found, as I had thought, there is absolutely no mention of it. The facility is dated and the room spartan, but was very clean, and the bed very comfortable. For what I wanted - just a place to sleep for the night to avoid driving home in a winter storm - I found the room just fine, and would recommend the place for anyone with a similar basic need. If they continue to want a damage deposit, they should ensure that it is noted in Expedia and others, if they wish to avoid my kind of initial reaction in future.

I love how reasonably the prices and how nice the staff were. I could get out and walk to several restaurants and downtown was only a few minutes past that. My only issues are with Vernon itself--given they don't ration much for crosswalks and sidewalks on the main road. Also, a house behind the hotel had a party until 3:00 am one night, which kept me up, but that wasn't the hotel's fault.

The lady at the office was really pleasant to deal with and seemed very willing to go above and beyond to make customers happy. Because the motel is right on the main highway it was a little loud but not to the point where sleeping was affected. I would recommend this motel to anyone as I was totally pleased with my stay. Also it was a good location for access to restaurants or grocery stores.
