Empire Motel

The front staff was very friendly and helpful. The upgrades to the rooms and property are very good. Clean and simple accommodation with easy access to Skaha beach area. Quiet street. Really enjoyed our stay.

great location

We stayed at the Empire Hotel on our mother/daughter getaway and it was absolutely wonderful!! Estelle is so great and you feel like you are at a home away from home with her. Cleanliness is super important to me and everything was soooo clean! They even do a room refresh daily which was so nice to come back to after a day at the beach. The beds were comfy (I did bring extra comforter but they probably have if you ask for more blankets) The courtyard is also such a great bonus! The pool is well kept with lots of nice lounge chairs and umbrellas, ping pong table which was so fun, and few gazebos with tables for having outdoor meals and quite a few nice big bbqs which we used to cook up some delicious steaks! *They provide tongs and bbq brush just byob utensils and dishes. This is the perfect spot for families! Cooking while they swim and run around the grassy area. Estelle has some beautiful flower gardens too- it’s just such a charming little area! They provide pool towels too. The shower is great also- and there is a tub in case you want a soak. Something extra we loved is the wood hooks all around the room! You can hang so many things on so it frees up so much floor space - what a great idea! We are use to staying in big hotel chains but the Empire motel has changed us- we 100% recommend and WILL be back!!

Perfect location for us being south of town, walking distance to Skaha Lake and also great for short drive to the Southern Okanagan’s vineyards and orchards. Welcoming hosts took care of all of our needs and made us feel at home. Fabulous pool and recreational areas for guests
