Not what I expected but that's not a bad thing!
It was a weird experience, in general but it was very quiet and really clean is spite of the age of everything! It was pretty cool overall tho, and the staff was quite nice as well!

Fantastic little hotel
Charming little hotel in the heart of Castlegar. The owner greeted me and got me checked in. She was very nice and personable. She offered me croissants and other baked goods for breakfast. I wish I had spent more than one night.

Great spot to stay at if you're in the Castlegar area. The owner/manager met me at check-in, and we had a great chat. The room was as advertised, and I enjoyed my short stay. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Stephen

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Despite a good price, would not stay again even if it was free. This place seemed a bit outdated from the exterior but we kept optimistic as maybe it had some unique charm/character. The inside is still quite 'vintage' which creates some interesting character, but the overall condition made it a terrible stay. The hallways had a very strange smell - like mould masked in cleaning chemicals. The room was only slightly better. The toilet and sink mainly seemed to have been kept clean, but the soap dispenser had an alarmingly large amount of dirty build-up. The shower curtain had mould all over the bottom of it. The bed covering smelled of dirty bodies and odors. The floor would sink underfoot in places, like it's rotting away. Breakfast was a few pieces of fruit, a few things in a mini-fridge to help yourself to, and a dirty coffeepot. Pretty bad time.

The owner was nice and helpful. The room was basically clean. The curtains smelled horrible when the fan was on. The breakfast was not eatable as everything could have been handled by numerous other people. The banana and yogurt were the only items that perhaps others had not handled.
