Amazing Stay , Super Clean & Family-Friendly! We had a great time at the Empire Motel! The rooms are newly renovated and spotless, and the owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming. It’s in a great location—just a short walk to the beach, with lots of parking. We loved the pool and BBQ area, perfect for hanging out with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!

Myself and some girlfriends stayed at Empire Motel and were pleasantly surprised with how clean the rooms and the pool/bbq area were. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and in a great spot by Skaha. We will definitely stay again!

The outside picnic and barbecue area is big and wonderful. The whole place is very family oriented and quiet at night. Estelle, the owner, has a gift of hospitality and is so welcoming. The beach is only a couple of blocks away

Friendly staff! We had six people in our party and they had a two bedroom unit that worked well for us. While the motel is a bit dated in places, they have done important updates and have made it a comfortable place to stay. Only about a five minute walk from the beach!
