What guests think

Across recent reviews, Wells Gray Inn is praised for clean, renovated rooms, friendly staff, and a made-to-order hot breakfast, while several guests note the dated exterior, occasional noise or maintenance issues, and slower restaurant service during busy times.

The location is convenient for road trips and visits to Wells Gray Provincial Park, with easy highway access and nearby shops. Many rooms offer direct outdoor access or small patios, which pet owners appreciate, and parking is straightforward. Overall, expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stopover rather than a full-service resort.

Overall, it was a good stay. Room was clean, renovated recently. Theres a restaurant onsite, breakfast and dinner were both great. They did not have a hot tub like advertised but thats not a big deal. It's just an old hotel on the highway but you can't hear the traffic. I'd stay here again for sure

The staff were very nice but outside of the room, the property seems in rough shape. There was all kinds of debris around the property and from the outside, this place looks terrible, run-down. The room itself was nice, though the parking area outside the room was falling apart and full of deep puddles once it rained

This is a great option for anyone driving through Clearwater or exploring the local trails and lakes. It's conveniently located if you're continuing your road trip the next day. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks better in person! The rooms are clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities families need. Breakfast is included at the on-site diner—and it was the best one we had on our entire trip from Vancouver to Banff! (Tip: get there early to beat the morning rush—it gets busy.) The hotel follows a motel-style layout, so if you're traveling with family in separate rooms or want to stay close to your vehicle, let the staff know in advance so they can place you near each other. We didn’t, and it made unloading luggage a bit more challenging. The staff were incredibly friendly and handled a tricky situation with great care: someone in our group forgot their phone in the room, and we didn’t realize until we were in the next city. The team found it, arranged payment, and FedExed it to our home address without any hassle. Truly excellent service!

The room is great. We were in room 21, which had a door to the inner court that had a hot tub at the time I stayed here a few years ago. The hot tub area now has a table and chairs. The staff are super nice. We were only passing through, and we had to leave at 3 am and were not able to use the breakfast voucher that started at 7 am. We would definitely stay again, the tub in the bathroom is huge and deep.

This hotel is a hidden gem as the outside could turn you away. the inside is clean and updated. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast menu was an amazing way to start the day. The waitress was very pleasant. Parking at the front area was great. The back of building made you feel a bit unsure of safety. The outside of the hotel and hotel sign need updating so it feels inviting when you pull into the lot.

Convenient location, reasonable price. Helpful front desk found us a downstairs room. (Bad knees, lots of luggage, no elevator.) Surprisingly quiet with the property being right by the highway (inside room faced courtyard). “Back Forty” restaurant had really good breakfast (not included). Had pool but no one told us where it was, and didn’t look. No “map” of the property even at front desk. Outside needs a paint job, but don’t let that deter you—renovated interior. Room mostly clean, but some spots (including from toothpaste or floss) on mirrors, tv frame, light switch and door frame in bathroom. Toilet, tub, shower curtain and sink looked quite clean. Materials in bedside table including laminated list of phone numbers, were grimy, interior of fridge had crumbs in every drawer. I questioned remotes and in room coffee-maker because of that. Housekeeping staff had probably gone home (?) so I didn’t ask for a touchup or another room. Nothing major. If staying another day I’d have asked for some extra attention to those details.

He really made us feel at home and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

The hotel is dated on the outside and in the hallways, but the rooms appear to be recently renovated. I found it odd that no conditioner was provided with the room. I appreciated the full service breakfast that was included with the room. What really upset me with this hotel is that I paid with my Amex when checking in, then when I walked back out to the parking lot 10 minutes later the staff member asked if I would change my payment method so the hotel could save money (Amex has an incredible travel insurance policy, so I refused). For my one night stay, accepting Amex compared to Visa would have cost the property $1-2 extra. I’m all for supporting small businesses, but a hotel asking me to switch payment methods so they could save a buck really didn’t sit well with me. Other than that, it was an average property that was affordable compared to neighbouring options, and close to Wells Gray.

It’s a motel, so not luxury, but the price was fantastic. The rooms were basic, but with recently updated bathrooms and clean beds, etc. Staff we encountered were lovely. The hallway outside the rooms has vinyl flooring, so was slightly noisy with people coming and going, but I had earplugs, so slept fine.
