Ridgeview Motor Inn

The rooms could use a bit of refreshing, but ours was very clean and everything worked just fine. Very quiet location with flowers and other nice touches that made the place look attractive and well-cared-for. The breakfast room is nicely renovated. Breakfast choices were a bit limited-- I remember muffins, bagels, bread, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, plus coffee and tea-- and the fridge and sink were not very clean. Overall, we would recommend, and would stay here again.

The property is dated, but they are trying to fix things up. The outside looks like a construction site.

Front desk staff very helpful and friendly. Hospitality room a pleasant surprise - a large room open 24/7, large round tables, lounge end with a fireplace at one end, and the breakfast area at the other. Good place for a game of cards in the evening, chatting with other guests. Place could use more staff for deep cleaning and maintenance. Nice and quiet.

good simple accommodations, extra value with well stocked hospitality room.

The owners have been working on upgrading this property and it’s much more comfortable than in years past. This hotel is about the only option in town but the staff is great, accommodating, and really try. Continental breakfast is above average and nice for those early mornings.

My room was clean, well lit, with a lovely view of a grove of trees. The Hospitality Room, where the breakfast is available, is open all day, so I was able to toast some of my bread and make sandwiches. The flowers around the outdoor seating area are beautiful. This is a "working person" motel, with space to park rigs/boats, fish cleaning station, and ease of access. The staff person is friendly, helpful, and cheerful.

Pretty rough. Linens and furnishings were really old and thrift store quality. Floor was sticky. Breakfast was self serve using shared jam and peanut butter containers and dishes were not clean. Furnishings were sticky. No room service tidying during stay. One room had no soap or shampoo in containers. Stairs are uneven and tripping hazard.

We stayed 2 nights in order to take a boat trip nearby. The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was very nice. Unfortunately we arrived during a rare heat wave, so would have preferred a/c to the fan that was provided. It would not have been a problem on the other 363 days of the year. The owner is building a deck and lounging area, and is installing a/c soon. We look forward to returning to the Ridgeview and exploring more of its beautiful surroundings.

We stayed at the Ridgeview Motor Inn in 2023 and 2024. We noticed a lot of improvements between our first and second visit. The area in general looks much cleaner and there were lots of flowers which is a nice touch. The buildings are old but it looks like they are continually improving the facilities. This is not a five star resort but is a perfect stop for travelers and fishermen. It would be nice if they had something more than a countertop ice machine.

The facilities were dirty and the surrounding area messy. At least the rooms were air-conditioned. The breakfast service was minimal, but adequate. Adequate parking for a truck and trailer.

Pros: the property is in a pretty area. The beds were clean and comfortable. It seemed to be the only place to stay in the small town at that time (another place is opening soon). The hospitality room for tea/coffee and toast was nice to have access to. The other guests were lovely. The one staff member I met was pleasant. Cons: the hotel is either short staffed for cleaners or the people who clean don't know how. My feet were black minutes after taking my shoes off in my room. I could almost write "please clean me" in the bottom rim of the tub that needed a SCRUB, not a light misting if that was done. There was a line behind the bathroom door as though nobody had cleaned the floor behind the door for a very long time (I checked, it wasn't stain, it was dirt). The room had a cheap plug-in overpowering deodorizer that I was thankful my sister found, because it was SO strong I could barely breath. We put it outside and aired out the room. And the hospitality room floor had also not been cleaned as evidenced by the old tea/coffee drips that could easily be wiped up. Luckily we took it with a grain of salt and were happy to have a place to stay in the small town. But I've travelled with picky people and they may have had an issue. Also, the price for what we received was about double what I'd expect, but to be fair, it's a quiet town in the winter, and I'm sure they need to make up for that in the summer to keep the hotel open, which we were thankful to have.

The first room we were given smelled mouldy so we asked for another room. the second room had the heater on full blast so we opened the windows to air it out. We didnt realize until after that the bathroom smelled like sewage. There were extension cords on the floor for the heater and air conditioner. Our cooler leaked water and when we wiped it off the floor, the white towel turned black from how dirty the floor was. There were also stains on the sheets. Last but not least, on the second night a couple of men started banging on our door at 3:30 am and it took a couple minutes out shouting through the door to make them go away. Safe to say we wont be back.

Clean and a good price.

What a pleasant surprise! It's an old motel but our room was completely renovated and was sparkling clean.

The room was very dirty and the floor in the bathroom was unclean as well. The friends in the room next to us were bit all night by what we think were bed bugs.

Everything was okay except to floors and cable. Tv was a decoration. Floors were not cleaned at all

Our assigned room was not clean and make up have to move to a different room?

Pretty rough. Linens and furnishings were really old and thrift store quality. Floor was sticky. Breakfast was self serve using shared jam and peanut butter containers and dishes were not clean. Furnishings were sticky. No room service tidying during stay. One room had no soap or shampoo in containers. Stairs are uneven and tripping hazard.

Due to lack of staff I'm assuming, the room was not cleaned properly, dirt on the floors, no hot water in the shower, the jetted tub in our room still had hair in the jets, did not use. Saw that the margarine peanut butter containers had been open all day in the heat. Had friends staying there also their bathroom floor was sticky.

Our room was very clean, lots of hot water and the gentleman that checked us in was very nice. Good wifi as well

Air conditioner out of order. Lucky we didn't need it. TV not working but an employee did replace the controllers. A complex system to operate. Finally got it going. Cheaper than the Wyndham but would be worth the few a few extra $ to stay there.

Quiet, friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable

What a pleasant surprise! It's an old motel but our room was completely renovated and was sparkling clean.

Such a value find! The room had beautiful view of mountains. The motel albeit being a bit old, was wonderful and clean. The staff were very accommodating. Check-in closes at midnight, but we were unsure if we would arrive by then. I called the place earlier in the evening and informed them about this. They sent us detailed instructions on how to check in ourselves. They also told me to call them anytime if I needed help. Free breakfast was also a nice bonus

Our room had seen better years

Accommodations were just okay, pillows were great, bed not so much.

Tv, no cable, no remote Beds are really uncomfortable

Everything was okay except to floors and cable. Tv was a decoration. Floors were not cleaned at all

The only thing I would complain about was there was only 2 pillows on the bed, so my girlfriend and I had 1 each. They were thin and not enough support, 2 pillows each would have been nice.

Quick last minute decision. Front desk guy was awesome. Love this place for the $$

Easiest checkin, and friendliest service.

Great motel in Gold River. Very friendly staff. Met the owner, and the manager. They wanted to make sure we were happy. Great location next to a very nice pub with great food, a minute walk to tourist info and EV chargers, plus great trails for walking the dog. Very much enjoyed two nights here.

It is 5 min walk to the entrance of scout lake and other hiking trails. Lots of exploring in the area, the room was a good place to exllore from and a bed at the end of the night. Many items in the room were just held together. The shower sprayed everywhere, had to have a bath instead, but the bathtub needed cleaning first, which i did. The manager charged more for a 3rd night even after I spoke with the owner who was in vancouver. Ended up paying more for my 3rd night than the first 2, in a basically empty hotel. Which bummed me out. The office was still locked at 10:30am because the manager was still sleeping. Next time i'll camp.

For the price, this works out very well. Very friendly and accommodating and good communication.

Front desk receptionist was great. Listened on our issues and acted on it. Very loud guests downstairs that we had to phone reception to deal with. Continental breakfast was a farce. Rooms need refurbished.

Needs a few improvements. The bed could be upgraded. Drapes too long for location above space heater. Staff was friendly and helpful!

Great service!

Very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful surroundings

Nice and quiet ! There's a small creek at the side of the room and that's the only sounds I could hear , " a gurgling brook " , just perfect !

It was nice and quiet.

Great location

Perfect base to enjoy the outdoor activities that the area has to offer.

Well worth the cost to stay in such a beautiful area.

Gold River has a super remote location, right in the middle of fantastic mountains. The motel has a mountain movie-like ambience for its setting. Very basic motel, cheap and cheery.

This hotel is such a gem! Clean, well kept rooms, and amazing Indian food next door.

The motel was just what we needed for a quick get-away. Not 5 star but it met our needs😊. And the flower boxes and hanging boxes were awesome…nice hospitality room

Not great service, the room was pretty minimal and the opposite of what anyone in North America would call “fancy”. The cleaner didn’t have our room ready so we took another. The ice machine was out of order and the hospitality room had one of those that put out abut a half of a normal ice cube tray every 20 minutes. The breakfast was fine but no spoons? I wanted oatmeal….. for $190 CAD a night, it wasn’t worth it. Waiting for the Chalet to open back up.

We liked the continental breakfast

The owners have been working on upgrading this property and it’s much more comfortable than in years past. This hotel is about the only option in town but the staff is great, accommodating, and really try. Continental breakfast is above average and nice for those early mornings.

Bed was comfortable although I'd say a double not a queen and they have those awful old-fashioned bedspreads. Room was comfortable temp/warm. Shower was good temp, water pressure good. Coffee pot was dirty, towels were stained, room smelled like dirty feet upon first entering. Breakfast in morning offered minimal options and was offered in full sizes for everyone to share, ex., there was yogurt but you had to scoop it out of the container. Same for cereal, etc. Margarine container was disgusting. Whole breakfast layout was just bad. Coffee was ok and I did risk getting a glass of apple juice from the fridge but I do say risk. Pub is walking up the hill for food which is good although we waited for an hour due to lack of staff they said. Smoking outside rooms is tolerated so our neighbours were smoking and it was entering our room. Couldn't open window thru night because of this. Property is run down and neglected. All in all, I'd try to stay somewhere else but there really isn't anywhere else. I'm just glad I got a good night's sleep.

My room was clean, well lit, with a lovely view of a grove of trees. The Hospitality Room, where the breakfast is available, is open all day, so I was able to toast some of my bread and make sandwiches. The flowers around the outdoor seating area are beautiful. This is a "working person" motel, with space to park rigs/boats, fish cleaning station, and ease of access. The staff person is friendly, helpful, and cheerful.

Pretty rough. Linens and furnishings were really old and thrift store quality. Floor was sticky. Breakfast was self serve using shared jam and peanut butter containers and dishes were not clean. Furnishings were sticky. No room service tidying during stay. One room had no soap or shampoo in containers. Stairs are uneven and tripping hazard.
