Excellent value for money. Ideal for overnight stops when on long distance travelling. Only downside was the noise of the trains and dog hair on the carpet. The rest of the room was extremely clean.

Checked this place out today and wow talk about impressive! I was looking for a place to swim today and this place stood out. To my surprize was just how gigantic it was!!! This place not only has an Olympic sized swimming pool but it also has a waterslide, several diving boards, a super hot steam room, 2 gyms, indoor and outdoor track, huge gymnastics room, 3 basket ball courts and more. If your ever in Kamloops I strongly recommend you check this out. They have day passes, monthly passes, and yearly plans. Now if it wasn't so hard to get to lol! I am living downtown and had to climb up a huge hill/mountain to get here as its way way way up top. I was so sweaty and exhausted from trying to walk there that the pool never felt so good. Ahhhhh!
