Needed a cheap-ish overnight stay, this seemed like the best option and was fine for what it was. Decent, spacious room with a decent bathroom as well. Beds were fine too

We were put in a room in the back. Quite a sketchy area. We were denied a refund but offered another room that was OK

Riverside Motel is an excellent place to stay. It is close to the beach at Okanagan Lake, close to coffee shops, and the canal. I did not feel unsafe at the hotel, it was just some of the clients were using substances, and that made me feel uncomfortable. The rooms are super clean, and the water pressure in the bathroom is spectacular!!! I do have to say that our room was quite large, for being a standard room, but the TV was very small for the size of the room. I would definitely stay there again.

Dog poo on walkway outside our room, desk lady who showed us room just stepped over it and it was still there later that day. Room old, dingy, silverfish bugs in tub. Blanket on bed very worn, white towels and cloths had stains. Weather stripping around door pealing off. Obviously lots of longer term tenants? RV’s parked around with extension cords plugged in to outlets. Listened to people arguing for hours. Not sound proof in any way. They should separate where put longer term people and guests who stay for a night? Also parked boat blocking entrance to get through to park at back rooms. Got no sleep, considered driving home the 2 hours in the middle of the night. Ugg.

Could have included a microwave oven. Apart from that everything was great.

I went to check in and they had no record of my booking through Hotels.com. This was fine as she was able to accommodate us still. What wasn't fine is that it took her almost an hour to check us in because of it. The hotel was dead and we were in a rush but she didn't care. Then proceeded to take another 20 minutes to walk around to find a clean room for us. Our stay was okay, nothing horrible, but then they charged me twice! I'm currently disputing this with my credit card company, which will take about a month unfortunately, but I've been calling and texting the hotel owner as well as the front desk person and they refuse to refund the second charge.....just hoping that I'll get bored and suck it up. So if you decide to stay, be prepared for them to try and scam you. And don't expect Hotels.com to help as they won't do anything either.

The Riverside is an older motel steps from Okanagan Lake that has been nicely updated. It is clean and the rooms are a decent size. There are restaurants within a few blocks and Main Street is a mile away.

It was decent & clean. Some refurbishment has been done. It’s your typical penticton motel.

2 friends and I stayed in a room with "2 queen beds" as soon as I walked in i noticed the beds are half the size of a queen. I mentioned it to the front desk and they moved us to a new room, which had the same sized beds. Looking at their photos, all queen rooms have these tiny beds.
The stay was good other than that, but they are falsely advertising the size of their beds. Barely big enough to share with another person.

When we arrived didn’t get what we paid for , when confronted front desk said this was the last room available.
So took it ,first the one lock didn’t work , then the microwave was broken , fridge not even plugged in, no coffee in the room
Yes they did change out microwave thankful for that just thought it wasn’t best customer service and no discount offered
The room was updated with flooring and bed so enjoyed that

Great place for a quick stay after a concert. Walkable to shops, restaurants, beach. The units are older but have been nicely renovated with new flooring and paint. Bed was super comfortable!

The Riverside is an older motel but has been nicely updated and modernized. The beds were comfortable and the room had a new look.

The staff were very friendly and the new upgrades include vinyl plank flooring, new beds and bedding. The tub area was not inviting. At least the floors will be clean and the bed comfortable and clean. Need to move out some furniture as it's old and unecessary. I would recommend this stay for the price which was excellent.

A great place to stay with a family. It was a bit dated furniture in the living room area, but the beds were very comfortable and newer.
It had everything you needed to feel comfortable.

Daily change of towels and room cleaning. Friendly staff. Good parking, close to the lake and main highway.
Although we rented a kitchenette there was no indoor table and chairs (there was one 'easy chair'). There were outdoor facilities by the pool but it was too cool to use these.
4.0
We loved the location of this property. The pool and outside areas were very clean and had great outdoor seating. Bed was comfy. My only recommendation would be to replace the tile in the bathrooms. Our bathroom was not perfectly cleaned on our arrival. I am sure house keeping would have addressed this but our stay was short so we didn’t bother to notify them of this issue.
3.0
Plenty of room space. There were no linens to dry the dishes that we washed before we left. We also did not think that the glassware was clean before we had used it. Also, there was no stopper for the kitchen sink. Front desk fellow was very nice whenever we had questions.

Was close to everything, the only hiccup was disrespect by a couple of drunken patrons from Kamloops who had been drinking and spending their day in the pool.
