Once I walked in the room it was extremely warm. I couldn't get the TV to work, the fridge door was left open so couldn't keep anything cold. Also there was a tissue in the peep hole.

The housing-crisis caused me to book a stay at the Hotel, and I think there was a misunderstanding from the beginning as to what type of clientele the Management Team is comfortable with, because of the information at their media. It seems there are clientele booked there who may be men with life-challenges, and I came to understand that my being there was making the other Guests, and perhaps the Manager's wife, feel uncomfortable, something I didn't know would happen before I booked. I have no proof to say any of this.

I liked that the Room was pretty peaceful, overall. The Room's Furniture appears to have been well-maintained throughout the years. I had a really good view of the city of Kamloops, BC. It is a nice, older Hotel.

It was dirty, run down, smelled of urine and smoke. It was advertised as 3 star and it was NOT. It felt unsafe.

They gave us our money back when we told them we would not be spending the night.

The clientele seemed rather sketchy

Nothing as our booked room was gone when we got there

Their "included" breakfast options could have been better, such as toast but no butter; cereal but no milk, but they did have jam, at least for the "dry" toast. I would have appreciated their muffins option to be from a real bakery instead of those packaged store bought ones too, so passed on these.

Overall, the right location for me to attend the Pow Wow just down the hill and over the bridge. Great corner room overlooking down the hill to the city and the Pow Wow grounds just over the bridge. Quiet and clean.

There were no fixings for the first morning coffee. An oversight this one time, I believe .

The owners were so friendly and personable. Very respectful and engaged in my wants.

Anything, the owner of the lodge was very rude. I called him ahead of time and told him that I am coming with a pet and asked him for the total amount he will charge he told me $235 for both the days but when I arrived there he asked for pet deposit which he didn’t tell me before. His lodge is just concrete and there is no pet relaxation place. As soon as I confronted him about the increased charges he asked me to go find some place else.

No coffee maker! But did have a fridge and microwave.

Nice room , good value, had a patio with a view which is unusual for the price. Also appreciated the central location.

There was some confusion about the pet policy but staff was kind and accommodating.

Sraff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had everything I needed. Quiet area.

Utterly disgusted with this place because I was turned down at nearly 3am as a young solo female, who had booked a room and had proof, but got turned away at the door to be told 'we don't do late check ins, and we don't have a room for you'. The man at reception was totally inconsiderate and couldn't have cared less that I had no where else to go. I had given a notification of a later check in due to a flight delay and had no response from that. Do not book this place. I waited in the stairway of another hotel till 6am waiting to go to the Starbucks. I felt totally homeless it was a horrible experience.

Hello! I'd like to be able to stay at the Kamloops Star Lodge Motel on a long-term basis, maybe for about three months, and doing this periodically, when I need to return to Kamloops, which is my hometown. But I just don't know how to get that procedure going! Would you happen to be able to provide not just the Motel Managers, but potential Guests, at the booking.com website, how extended-stays can be arranged? By the way: I was in Kelowna, BC, recently, dropped in to a really nice-looking Hotel, and asked about doing an extended-stay there. The nice lady behind the Counter indicated that it was a "prestige-" establishment, and I interpreted that to mean that the Hotel catered to wealthy clientele who tend to live full-time at their regular homes, and don't need to create a Tenancy at a temporary stay-place, like a Hotel. I thought her use of the word, "prestige," was kind of interesting, and maybe helpful, too :)

Hello! Things I liked about the Kamloops Star Lodge Motel include its good location: This Motel has a superlative view of the skyline, and the city of Kamloops, BC! Moreover, the older architecture of the building, which include vintage touches such as a stick-like, wooden barrier on the Upper Level, leant to an eclectic and "old west-" ambience. (Now, if only I had the ability to install "saloon-style" partition-doors in my suite....)

Arrived at nearly 11pm on a snowy night and the owner, who was drunk and belligerent, decided not to honour my reservation because he wanted to get paid more. Wasted an hour trying to get booking.com to cancel the reservation for free. They actually called the owner while I was in the room and he was extremely rude to them. I ended up staying nearby for twice the price. I have NEVER heard of a place demanding more money just to check in. Do not take a chance on this run-down, sketchy place.

I showed up for my stay and the front desk clerk was so confused he couldn’t find my reservation and would not check me in said I didn’t have a reservation. I left and found a room down the street

Staff lightly knocked on our door as I napped and my wife was in the bathroom. I woke up to my wife yelling at the cleaning lady who just let herself in and tried to re-enter after being asked to leave. Knowing she was wrong she suddenly accused us of smoking weed in the room. We were surrounded by low income addict tenants who definitely smoke weed in their rooms. After she left the husband came up and asked us to leave claiming we smoked weed in the room. I diffused the situation only because I didn't want to lose the money we paid and have to pay again somewhere else. The breakfast was dried out muffins and juice boxes which we did not eat. I had to wash out the AC filter on arrival as it was two inches thick with black crud. On day two they came in while we were out and inexplicably took away all but one of our clean towels. They were later replaced with stained unpleasant smelling towels. Between all that and the excessive price for run down rooms in a motel halfway house, not recommended and won't stay there ever again.

The location is excellent. Thats about the only upside to this landfill of a motel.
