Great spot to stay at if you're in the Castlegar area. The owner/manager met me at check-in, and we had a great chat. The room was as advertised, and I enjoyed my short stay. I'd definitely recommend this place.

It is an older place, however it has all the amenities. The owner/host was delightful and works really hard to maintain the building, keep it clean and offer accommodations to travellers. Overall, the great customer service and wonderful people made me return. She was very accommodating - i arrived very early and she ensured I would be able to get in fast. Really lovely.
