We had a great stay at the Bowmont Motel. The location was perfect with everything we needed nearby, and the staff provided wonderful customer service. Our room was clean and met all our basic needs, with that kitschy blast from the past vibe that was actually quite charming. The pool is fabulous and we really enjoyed it. The price was excellent value, especially for budget travelers who want a comfortable place to rest. It's not fancy, but it's exactly what we were looking for. We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Good value, basic budget motel. The location is near the lake, restaurants and the main sports/entertainment venue in Penticton. Rooms are dated and a bit tired, but mine was a good size, well-maintained and clean. I visited in off-season and arrived after hours, and there were no staff in the office, but communication was good and I was given pass code for the room. I would stay there again when next in Penticton.
