We were referred here by the desk clerk at the Best Western hotel which was full. When we arrived at the Coast Fraser Inn, Connie at the front desk was so kind and she cheerfully checked us in.
The room was so much nicer than we expected for the reasonable nightly rate! It had a view of the small Williams Lake community and was very clean. There was a coffee pot, tea selection, corkscrew, wine... more

No

Great beds and friendly staff.\n\nThe breakfast.

Marvellous beds.\n\nNo Restaurant nearby

We found childrens toys around the beds so figured the cleaning staff take short cuts.

Had not stayed at this hotel before and made a reservation based on what I saw on their web site. When I got to the hotel, the parking lot was very busy and the front desk clerk finally found my reservation and checked me in.

When I opened the door to my room it smelled like stale smoke, but I know this is a non-smoking hotel. The room in not a bad size. Nice size LG screen, good-sized... more

handy location

This hotel shares its building with a Boston Pizza and there is a Beer and wine store within walking distance - hotel is clean and the employees friendly - only drawback was that the carpet in our room was wrinkled in a spot that we had to keep walking over - but I am sure that they will fix that... more

Average stay

This was one in a series of accommodation we organized tour through BC Ferries. We were a little concerned when we saw it located on the highway, but were given a room on the quiet side overlooking town, and it was very quiet. The other side might have been different given the steep hill and heavy traffic. Nevertheless the room... more

Best hotel in williams lake

Stayed here the past weekend and wasn't disappointed. Been staying at the best western last couple trips but decided to change because there service was horrible. Right when you walk through the door of this hotel they greet you with a smile and make you feel like your at home. The rooms were clean, price was fair compared to other... more

Not a fan

I had bad check out service at the Best Western so I stayed at Coast under the recommendation of a friend that it was good for a $100. I checked in, staff were nice, but the price was 129+ tax , step into the elevator and it's gross, and run down. At least spend $20 and replace the carpet. Not... more

Best" in town

Basic hotel. Clean. Overpriced...just because there are not too many other options. Nice throwback to the 80's. Breakfast included, but rather dull and monotonous. This hotel does not have a proper kitchen and it shows. I have been to many much smaller properties around the world and a good, on the spot made breakfast makes one forget about other things...not... more

Staff double booked my room

I had made reservation over the phone a month before my visit to williams lake. I arrived in afternoon to find out someone was already in the room I had rented. I waited at the front desk for over an hour waiting to get another room. The staff seem confused and made this very awkward. I was ok with what... more

Friendly, professional staff

The hotel staff are very nice and professional. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and had lots of variety. The hotel itself, while clean and relatively comfortable, is getting a bit long in the tooth. Beautiful flat screen TV and complimentary wireless internet in the guest rooms are really appreciated. My room had an odd odour to it so I kept... more

A very pleasant stay and pet friendly

Stayed in February 2014 and found the hotel staff to be very friendly and accommodating to our kitty who is pretty much a part of the family. Room was well laid out and very close to Boston Pizza. Room stayed fairly warm considering how cold it was outside this particular weekend. Breakfast was included in the room stay and seemed... more

A pleasant stay

Greeted pleasantly and professionally by Victoria made our stay feel so homey.
The beds were so inviting and comfortable.
The room had a great decor and I was welcomed to roominess and warmth.
The bathroom and shower were very clean and I had a great shower.
Boston Pizza is attached to the hotel and with its clientele, parking was at... more

good clean place to stay

the room was clean and well kept. bed was comfortable and cable service was adequate. Morning breakfast was always good, only downside was the heater/cooler unit in the room- the fan never stopped running 24/7

Not a bad place to stay overall

We stayed here for a weekend for my son's hockey tournament in Williams Lake. The hotel was perfect for our needs, weas clean, quiet and a good location. There is a Boston Pizza on site for lunch and supper, and the hotel includes a nice breakfast in the room price. The only complaint we heard from all the rooms we... more

I liked this one

The hotel has easy access and a friendly welcome when you arrive. The view from the room was quite extensive and interesting. The room was a bit on the older side but it was clean & the bedding was good.

Hotel north of Williams Lake

The room was clean and average. I stay at this hotel ever time I go to Williams Lake for business. The heating unit is noisy, but it does not take long to heat up the room.
The Boston Pizza restaurant, pub and breakfast room make it convenient to stay at this hotel.

Not worth it

You think when you come to a chain like Coast hotels you would get at least a decent place to stay. It was horribly dirty. There was garbage behind the bed. Everything was sticky, or dusty. Inside the tv stand was dusty. The floor was gross. The chambermaid put a pillow back on our bed that we had accidentally gotten... more

Good value

The Coast Fraser Inn in Williams Lake provides good value and a comfortable stay. the rooms are clean and well maintained with really good beds. The staff are always accommodating. Having the hotel attached by a hallway to Boston Pizza is very handy - no need to go outdoors in bad weather, or worry about having a drink with dinner... more

its okay....a few too many little things added up

Stayed at this hotel for work for two nights. Was told by a "local" it had been renovated about 3 years ago. The GOOD first: my room was clean and bed comfortable. Room was quiet. Front desk staff (young lady - forget her name) was cheery, efficient and helpful. Location very good; though on highway 97 it was quiet but... more

Room quiet and clean

The room was quiet and clean. There was a musty old smoke smell that was off putting. Not sure if the room was previously smoking. They use eco friendly soaps and shampoos instead of silly small shampoos etc. So that was nice to see in a larger hotel.

Good except the breakfast

This is a older hotel but it's been updated/maintained very well. Check in was quick. Room was large. Hotel is located just off highway so easy to find and convenient.
The only issue is the breakfast, the eggs that were served are mushy due to them being pre cooked. The hotel might save some money this way but I would... more

Very comfortable

We spent one night and found the Coast Fraser Inn very comfortable. When we arrived we saw that there was an expansive territorial view from the rooms in the back side of the motel, but when we asked where our room was it was in the front. So we asked if we could have a room with a view and... more

Love it! Feel right at home:D

On arrival Meagan at the front desk is kind, helpful, & knowlagable. Our room is very clean, spacious, and the decor is business executive elegant. The beds are also clean, smell fresh & are comfortable with ample pillows. This room is also quiet & the parking by the front door is stated to have 2 kinds of security detail for... more

Keep Looking for a different Hotel

Old smelly rooms and when we first went in we thought someone was in the beds because the comforters were so bumpy. They give you a long list of TV channels but they only give you a few stations. Mould in the tub drain, so forget about having a bath!

Nice hotel

Excellent service, average breakfast, very comfortable room. Newer hotel which is very clean and fresh, good air conditioning system, very comfortable beds. BP's Lounge on the lowest floor was quiet and has a nice patio to watch the sunset from.

Old school service and value...highly reccommend

We arrived at 1:00am and were given a special rate..much lower than expected!!! the rooms was modern and clean with a few little extras that most hotels don't usually provide anymore, and in the morning we enjoyed a complimentary HOT breakfast!! bacon, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit salad, yogurt, and regular pastries, bread, cereal, coffee, tea's, and juices. Staff was very... more

The staff rallied around

The hotel is right off highway 97 south. My room faced the valley and was quiet with a view to the west of the surrounding area. A Boston Pizza restaurant is attached to the hotel. The hotel has upgraded the furniture and TV, and offers free wifi. There was a problem with the new flat screen TV . However the... more

pretty good stay

stayed here overnight, and it was fine. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a nice view. Didn't have time to eat in the restaurant this trip. Breakfast is included, which was the usual basic breakfast; however, the scrambled eggs were from a package, so I would avoid them next time. The ladies that run the breakfast area are... more

Better than expected..Pet friendly

Was driving through town onvthe busiest days of the year and managed to get a dbl queen in the pet friendly section.
Rooms are nice. Pretty standard, but they are clean.. I would stay here again..My dog and cat are enjoying their stay

Brian Kinney

I have been staying at this hotel on a weekly basis for the better part of a decade. The staff have always been very helpful and courteous. The rooms are comfortable,clean and comparably priced. The front desk staff are freindly and the manager kelly always takes time to say hello and chat for a few minutes. I know most of... more

GREAT staff

As a frequent customer I cannot say enough good things about all of the staff at the coast in Williams Lake. A pat on their backs is well deserved.
Price of the rooms is VERY
high, but most of Williams Lake is overpriced.
Hard to not compare when one goes to other areas and gets better for less, up to... more

Poor service, dated rooms, expensive, poor handicap parking

Well, the maintenance man was parked in the handicapped parking spot, the 3rd time in 5 stays. My elderly client was not given her confirmed room next to the elevator, although I called and confirmed this arrangements from the USA twice. The manager never responded to my emails asking her to contact me so I could let her know about... more

Service is the best feature

Stayed here a couple of times passing through. Service at the desk is really good and Boston Pizza open late is convenient when getting late. The rooms are a little to be desired-dated and linens are low quality but when your tired and you just need a bed, it'll do.

beautiful view - great breakfast lady

we stayed at 3 other hotels in Williams Lake at other times, this time we chose the Coast Fraser and that is where we will stay when we go back to Williams Lake -- it was a little tricky to find the driveway into the parking lot but the area is well lit and we did find the way in.... more

20 consecutive nights in March (EricD

We had stayed at the Coast Fraser Inn (CFI) for 1-2 days at a time and enjoyed it. In March 2013 our daughter was due to give birth to our first grandchild in Williams Lake. Although we are members of both the Best Western Gold Crown Club and the Wyndham Rewards Club we decided to choose "The Coast" based on... more

Another Excellent Coast Hotel

You can always count on a well-run, clean hotel when you see the name “Coast Hotel” and this one was no exception. It was very well maintained, clean and the service was excellent.
It is pet friendly and we had no difficulty checking in with our Yellow Lab dog

Great place to stay

Loved this hotel! Friendly, great location- close to the arena! Clean rooms, very comfortable beds, except the pillows were very small. Would stay again- actually I am this weekend again! Very handy that the Boston Pizza is attached. Great breakfast in the morning! Best thing was the very friendly staff!

Great Stay

We had been staying at a brand new hotel in town, and had been disappointed a few times. This hotel addressed all of our concerns...no light shining through the large gaps in the door to the hall, quiet, blessed quiet, comfortable bed and bedding, clean, even the in room coffee was good (although I don't care for heiffer dust). Staff... more

Satisfied

We spent two nights here and requested a quiet room as there were a lot of young families there for a hockey tournament. We were given a recently renovated superior suite for the same price a normal room with 2 queen beds or a king. It was well maintained, clean and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. The onsite Boston... more

Average, Comfortable Stay

Clean and comfortable rooms with complimentary wireless Internet that worked well.
The evening front desk staff was awesome… very accommodating and friendly, the day staff not so much.
Breakfast was "so-so" - as expected for a complimentary breakfast.
Overall a good hotel for Williams Lake… I would stay again.

Average but as expected for Williams Lake

The rooms are old and the bed was too soft. I was expecting a simple room and that is what they have. Simple but decent buffet breakfast in the morning. Below average gym. But this is Williams Lake and you dont go there expecting high end hotels.

Nice hotel with good breakfast

Big clean rooms with big and comfortable beds. The bathroom is clean but the colour of the bathtube turned from white to yellow-grew. It's because it is a little bit older, but it is clean. Breakfast comes with toast, fresh fruits, cereals, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages. Yoghurt is also available. Nice hotel.

Williams Lake Surprise

Very good front desk staffing at this hotel. Easy to access from the highway. Centeral to Williams Lake area. Boston Pizza in the same complex for a quick bite and small drink. As compared to the other hotels in the area this a good deal.

Good place for a one night stop

Pleasantly surprised by how modern this place looked - after staying at a couple of "inns" on our journey to and from Alaska, was not expecting this level of facility! Room spacious, comfortable, and clean. Attached to a Boston Pizza, so food and bar was nice and close. Breakfast was typical fare for a free breakfast - plenty to get... more

Moving to Alaska-day2

This place was good, not great. The staff was very good, helpful, and friendly. The room was a bit dingy, but adequately clean. Beds were average in comfort. We had dogs with us, and this was the last good place to stay on the journey to Alaska. The Boston Pizza restaurant was very good, we had take out in our... more

Good place to stay in Williams Lake

Very nice place to stay in Williams Lake. Clean. Very good beds, large rooms, flat screen tv, free wi-fi, lounge chair in room, fridge, coffee maker. Nice, clean bathroom Excellent breakfast with hot eggs and bacon, cold cereals, toast, fruit and yogart. Boston Pizza on site. Staff is friendly and courteous.

Pleasant place to stay

My room was on the top floor and I had quite a good view of the valley and lake. The room was good sized, very clean and comfortable, well equipped with fridge & coffee maker. There is a small spa tub in the fitness room and it was good to relax at the end of a busy day. My only... more

Very Good

I have stayed here a many times, and everything is usually great! I do enjoying having the larger reusable bottles of lotion and soap as it is much more environmentally friendly...but I certainly do not like the 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner. Perhaps some people don't see a difference, but those who have long hair know it is very hard... more

Convenient and pet friendly

Williams Lake was not a destination but a stopping point. Arrived after 8pm and happy to see Boston Pizza (in hotel) was still open to grab a late bite. Rooms were very average, nothing special but certainly adequate. Pet fee was $10 per night. Breakfast in the morning was better than average. Nice fruit salad, yogurt, usual breakfast cereals, make... more

Good Effort but

Only spent one night and was comfortable enough. The property tries to be higher end but it is old and cosmetically updated. Rooms do have flat screen TV’s and fairly nice furniture. Linens were fine but the mattress felt older. No soap bars in the bathroom but large bottles of soap, lotion and shampoo were provided. There was a small... more

Enough With the Teams

I understand that this town is a small town and that there are only so many places to stay, but this hotel has to understand that people can only take so much. I stayed there while a hockey team was there. The poor girl at the Front Desk (didn't get her name, as she didn't have a name tag and... more

Best hotel in Williams Lake

I travel to Willams Lake for work periodically and have stayed at other places in the area. I've found the Coast Fraser Inn to be the best bargain for room quality, service and value.
It's an older hotel that was recently renovated nicely.
They offer a free light breakfast (eggs, toast, breakfast and bacon). It's also a bonus that it... more

Best Hotel in the Cariboo

We are very picky about the cleanliness of a room, plus to relax in comfort. The Coast Fraser Inn exceeded all expectations. The service and the help of the staff was second to none. We were to stay only one night and move down the Cariboo to another hotel, but our stay was so good that we stayed a second... more
