Traveler Reviews
Things travelers liked about the Kamloops Towne Lodge:
Clean rooms
Friendly, helpful staff
Great indoor courtyard with pool, tables, and lush greenery
Pool, hot tub, and sauna
Cold beer and wine store attached to hotel
Comfortable beds (most are new Serta mattress in 2009)
Good (but not wireless) internet access
Many rooms have 42 flat screen TVs
Some rooms have indoor balconies overlooking the pool
Some travelers think the hotel dιcor is dated and there were some complaints in early 2009 when the hotel was undergoing renovations.
I think the Towne Lodge is a great option for hotels in Kamloops. It has a nice atmosphere and is close to quite a few services. If you're looking for something a little less expensive in the same area, you might want to check out the
Comfort Inn Kamloops.
