Waterfront Inn

What guests think

Waterfront Inn draws travelers for its excellent spot across from Skaha Lake’s park and beach, offering easy access to the water and walking paths, but feedback shows tradeoffs in aging rooms, variable upkeep, and some operational quirks.

Room experiences vary widely, from very small units to spacious suites with full kitchens and occasional views; common tradeoffs include thin walls and firm beds. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of cobwebs, stained or dirty linens and dishes, bathroom issues, and sporadic housekeeping, while others found rooms spotless. Service is often friendly, but off-site check-in, limited after-hours support, and occasional room-type or view mix-ups caused frustration; facilities are basic, with closed pool, hot tub, or sauna, and tight parking, though BBQ areas and pet-friendliness help. Expect a simple, beach-adjacent stay where Waterfront Inn’s location is the main draw.

Check in was easy. And patio & bbq area was very nice! Room was dated and bed was rock hard. The smoke detector battery was low and was beeping from 1am on, when I asked at check out about a bit of a refund since I wasn’t able to sleep all night and the noise was making my dog go crazy, they told me I should’ve called their emergency number which I only saw posted at their office door that was one property over and i didn’t take down at check in. So I got no resolution and wouldn’t stay there again.

Parking was an issue for a full size truck. Everyday we had to park somewhere else because the staff couldn't pass on the message that we were in someone else's spot and they were to park in ours

The property is in much better shape than the "sister" motels behind it. Very clean rooms which have been actively maintained. It is a dog friendly property which is great, and the suites on the top floor have a magical view of the park and some can even see the lake. Highly recommend for a trip to Penticton!

The website needs updating. There is NO pool and the hot tub is not functioning It is 3 properties one owner It’s a walk into the past think 70s A little over priced for the star rating. Should be at best 2 star. It was just a place to stay for a night. The non smoking room still had an aroma of old cigarettes. Nice location but needs an updating to keep up with other properties around.

We had a very nice room. The bathroom had a great makeover, but having a bit taller toilets would be a plus. The parking stalls need to be a little wider, very tight to get into. Over all, we had a great stay.

Parking lot is very cramped and difficult to manoeuvre in. Kitchen only had the barest essential amenities. No paper towel, no dish cloth, no decent tea towel. Glassware was not clean. Fridge opens wrong way. Limited access to eating establishments. No placemats or anything to eat on. Table on patio not clean. Bathtub looks very grimy - either remove the non-slip strips or at least scrub them - disgusting! We did not use the tub. Beds were acceptable for comfort. Windows dirty, blinds need maintenance also dirty. Property is quite old, dated and run down. Otherwise tolerable and ok for the price. Management was very friendly and cooperative, allowing us to cancel our 2nd night as we had a family emergency requiring us to leave early. Appreciated that. Pretty quiet for such a busy location.

I understand this is an older motel, but the cleanliness was lacking. Bathroom toilet seat looked like it had a stain on it, it actually looked like rust? but when I wet some toilet paper and wiped it, it actually wiped off! my guess it was blood? I think better cleaning especially in the bathroom is needed. Otherwise location was good right close to the beach.

There was no tissue in the room and none was available. I was offered an extra role of toilet tissue in place!? There were no glasses in the room except for 2 wine glasses and 2 coffee mugs. There was dead flies in the ceiling lamp shade, the bath and hand towels, although had been washed, were stained, which made you wonder. Tgat said, the staff and the reception were excellent. Just wished they would inspect the rooms and make sure they are properly cleaned before booking. I expected more since the price per night was not cheap.

Very very dated place. What even worst is that it was very very dirty. Dishes, utensils and pots dirty and old. No kettle Not enough utensils. Cabinets looked like they were installed in 70’s. The couch was disgusting. Had to use a blanket to sit in it. Kitchen chairs were very dirty. Blinds , windows , even sheets had some stains. Carpets were discussing. Old soap container were installed on the walls but no soap in it. Towels were overused. The only bonus is that it is close to the beach. Expensive for what it is .

The hotel is called waterfront, but I ended up with a room, not looking at the water. All the room is clean. It is very dated. The bed was awful and I did complain the hotel clerk and she said she would make a note of it. I would not recommend This place no shampoo, no hand soap nothing given out.

Very accommodating hotel. The room was comfortable and the hotel convenient. The area was lovely and we felt safe and welcomed. The only drawback was the other guests were kinda loud and since it was pleasant weather, they were outside kinda loud :). Additionally the walls were a bit thin. Overall though it was pleasant, clean and comfortable and good value for money.

This hotel sits directly across from a large park area with lots of grass and an off leash area for dogs. On the other side of the park is the beach and direct water access. The park is beautiful and well maintained so this is an excellent location. The room is large and has a separate bedroom area and a full kitchen. There is a TV in both the kitchen/living room area and another in the bedroom. I was travelling with dogs and it was very convenience for them as well. I will definitely stay here again next I am coming through Penticton.

Great location. Room was ok but walls are paper thin my partner didn't get any sleep due to the poor woman in the next room coughing all night. No towels and staff is non existent....you have to go 2 doors up to find someone and no answer on the front desk phone... When I checked in the lady was outside chatting with a bunch of people and even though we pulled up and parked right in front and I went in and out a couple of times, rang the bell and called... another guest told me she was outside smoking and that he would get her for me. I would have just left BUT non refundable.

Our stay was wonderful. Loved the Motel, Loved the location. We were however very disappointed that we booked a “lake view, GROUND floor room” 2 months in advance and at no time were notified that we would be 2nd floor. Front desk needs a better solution than “take it up with Expedia”

Awesome stay. Check in was very easy and staff were so friendly. Staff gave us helpful information on a printed sheet ie where restaurants were and where to find wifi details. Extremely accommodating with giving us a lower ground floor room. The shower was amazing. And the towels were so soft. Definitely a place to stay longer than 1 night.
