Ive stayed here many times due to my work and I've enjoyed every time. For the price you get a good looking clean room, a nice outdoor pool, gazebos, bbqs, ping pong table and even a kids playground for those who have kids. The motel staff has always been friendly and helpful for me whenever I've stayed here. Overall I'd... more
First, the good news. Nice big room, clean, well decorated. Good bed. Decent TV with cable (no HD). Wifi works well. Desk staff was OK, but when we asked for restaurant recommendations, he was not knowledgeable.
The bad news: The shower/tub has no grab bar except very low on the tub, and there is no rubber mat on the slippery...

I stayed here recently for 4 nights. They were very helpful and accommodating. Our ceiling fan was wobbly and making a lot of noise. They said they would fix it the next day and during the interim brought us a fan we could sit on the dresser. I asked for a late check out and they were good with that... more
We stayed here for a few nights before going up to Apex Mountain for a few days. We chose the Empire because of the rating and the fact that they had two room suites. It was clean and very quiet this time of year.
We have stayed at the Empire Motel for a number of years, while we participate in the annual Penticton Dragon Boat Festival. We are always treated well by the staff and owners. The rooms are very clean and cozy. We love the back yard area with the picnic benches and pool. I would not hesitate to recommend this motel to... more
We have been staying here for several years during the Penticton Dragonboat Festival and always have had exceptional service, very clean and comfortable rooms. The decor in each room is very attractive and not sterile like some hotels. The china coffee cups and wine glasses add that bit of extra.
This was our families first stay at the Empire Motel. It was great. Room was very clean, staff very friendly. Pool was great. The courtyard was a great place to hang in the evening and BBQ. Location was great so close to Skaha Beach. Motel provides a wagon to take your stuff to the beach. We loved it so much... more

We had a room that sleeps 6 with a kitchen. The staff were all very nice and helpful. We stayed three nights and used it as a base for Oliver to the south and Kelowna area to the north. I enjoyed reading at the nice BBQ area next to the pool in the morning before the kids woke up, with... more
We stayed here for 2 nights after camping around in Kootnay BC for days. As soon as we entered the room fresh air conditioned air welcomed us that we missed during the camping. The room was pretty clean, well-decorated with country style items, furnished TV, fridge, and hair dryer. Coffee maker and wine glasses were prepared. A bath tub is... more
We have been coming to this motel for 12 years and our now 16 and 13 year old still look forward to staying here every year. We really like that it is family friendly, clean and quaint. All of the rooms are a bit different. Our room is an efficiency with a queen and two single beds. There is a... more
Just a few minutes walk away from Skaha Beach. Nice pool and play area for the kids. BBQ available for use. Wagons and bikes available to rent. Enjoyed our stay at this motel. If you want to stay on Skaha side this is good value.
This little motel has friendly people, and good facilities. BBQs available, outdoor pool - they even provide wagons to take your kids n their stuff down to the Beach park just up the road. Near Skaha Lake Beach park. Games n books for kids on shelf in hall too. Rooms are big, nice decorating touches - china mugs for tea,... more
Cheap, beautiful, helpfull staff. Rooms are more than nice, and quiet, clean. BBQ, hanging out space... did I say the rooms were beautiful? I totally recommend this place, it's surprisingly good for the surprisingly cheap price!!
I have stayed here twice now. Excellent value. Clean and comfortable. There are facilities for BBQing and a childrens' play area. Ideal for a family. Some units have kitchen facilities. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city.
We were very impressed with the size of the room and it was very quiet, despite being on a major street. We didn't use the pool, but walked to the beach a few times. The one upgrade we'd recommend would be darker curtains - the street lights manage to shine through the gaps in the blinds. Overall, recommended.

The Empire Motel is a very clean motel with a homey feeling. It is located about a block away from the Skaha lake beach (nice beach, and lake). The staff and owners of the motel are very friendly, and accommodating. The rooms are big, and well equipped. We have stayed in two different rooms in the Empire Motel. Both rooms... more
Walking distance to the beach - Skaha
We had the suite, had separate bedroom with 2 beds plus the main bedroom with a bed.
Good value for what you pay.
Affordable. Clean rooms. Close to the lake. Easy to access from the south because it's literally really close to where HWY 97 connects with Penticton. And easy access from the north because it's close to the bypass. Also very close to the Lakeshore Rd... my favorite bike route south of Penticton.
Stayed at Empire 2 nights the beginning of Aug. Had just left a previous motel which was disgusting so upon entering our room at Empire we were so happy!! Super clean, friendly staff, great pool. No complaints at all. Had a great courtyard with lots of bbq's to use. Had a really great stay.
This adorable motel was great to stay in; it had all of the ammenities of home, including a separate bedroom for added privacy. The pool and relaxation area out back of the motel were great! Desk staff person's were very accomodating and helpful with directions, best routes. I would recommend this motel to anyone visiting the Okanagan. Whether you have... more
