Editor's Analysis
Updated on Feb 17, 2012
Overview
The Dilworth Inn is located in beautiful Kelowna, BC fairly close to numerous golf clubs, restaurants and shopping areas. This property has a highly praised indoor pool and has been deemed a great value for the money. However, consistent complaints regarding a dated interior and thin walls left many feeling you certainly get what you pay for. This hotel averaged just under 8 out of 10 points (on a 10 point rating scale) and just over 3 out of 5 points (on 5 point rating scales).
The Good
If there was a common trend among positive reviews it was the fact that guests felt this was an excellent value for the money paid. There was no shortage of praise for the relatively low cost. This hotel features an indoor pool and hot tub, something that many reviewers on Booking.com pointed out as an excellent and well-kept amenity. The location was a hot topic on Booking.com, TripAdvisor.com and Orbitz.com as the property is conveniently located near a major shopping area as well as numerous restaurant options. According to guest reviewers on Booking.com and TripAdvisor.com the front desk staff were helpful and accommodating. While there was some complaint regarding the age of the hotel, many felt the rooms were large and clean for the most part.

The Bad
This hotel is old, dated and a bit worn down. There was no shortage of comments across every source used for this analysis that pointed out how old and tattered the rooms were. Specific mention was made to both the bathrooms and the carpets as many felt renovations were needed to bring this hotel up to date. The lack of proper soundproofing was an area of major contention for some as the walls are apparently quite thin. There were a few reviews found on both Booking.com and TripAdvisor.com that mentioned noisy pipes meant guests could hear when occupants above were in the shower. Finally, there were a handful of comments on Booking.com that mentioned the room smelled of smoke, even though this is advertised as a non-smoking facility.
I checked out the following sources for this analysis, here’s what I found...

Booking.com uses a 10 point rating scale which averaged this hotel at 7.9 out of 10 points at the time of this analysis. This source had quite a few reviews that ranged in both praises and complaints. A typical comment was that the hotel was a good value for the money, however it was somewhat outdated.

TripAdvisor.com uses a 5 point scale. Reviewers averaged this hotel at 3 out of 5 points, with the majority of guests feeling the hotel was just average (not bad, but not great). It was painted as a no frills hotel in a convenient location for shopping.

Orbitz.com did not have many reviews at the time of this analysis, however the comments were more or less in line with all other sources used. Orbitz.com guest reviews gave this hotel 3.2 points out of 5.

Expedia.com reviewers gave this hotel 3.5 out of 5 points. Reviews on this site were somewhat polarized. Guests either loved the hotel or clearly hated it. Out of the 19 reviews at the time of this analysis the hotel was given a 79% recommendation rating.

Nic k from Winnipeg, MB CA rated Dilworth Inn 7 out of 10 on August 14, 2011 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Clean, friendly, cost effective, but noisy water pipes."
"Hotel was clean and people were friendly. Seems a reasonable price. Just off the strip. It was nice to have a microwave and fridge in the room. I only say that I would not recommend this hotel because it was hard to sleep. There seemed to be water running through the pipes constantly, possibly due to showers or laundry and the noise was loud at night. This made it difficult to sleep. I did not use many of the amenities, such as the pool, fitness room or continental breakfast, so I can not speak to those. But the drink machine was broken for the 4 days I was there, which was annoying."

"Very basic."
"The cost was lower, but my towels were not replaced every day, the coffee for the pot in the suite was not replaced daily and the promised breakfast turned out to be a Costco muffin."

"A Nice Hotel With a Few Problems"
"The hotel is clean and well maintained and the staff was courteous and friendly. We found that the heavy, early morning traffic, disrupted our sleep. We went downstairs at 8:00 AM to enjoy a continental breakfast, which was to be included with the cost of the room to find that only coffee and cold cereal was available. The rolls etc. had not yet arrived. We had to go out for breakfast."

"Good Place for Basics"
"Staff was very helpful and friendly. Location was excellent for us as it was near the theatre where the opera was showing. Room was very clean and large but basic without comfortable reading chairs or a sofa. Nice, that a White Spot was next door. We may stay again."

"It was a great price and close to everything in Kelowna. One thing I noticed: there was a smell of smoke in the room, even though it is non-smoking. Perhaps wafting in from outside? I liked the White Spot next door! Staff was friendly. I only stayed one night so don't have any other comments."

"The rooms were clean and a fair size. Older decor but still nice. Great location and easy to find. If staying at this hotel, perhaps ask for an 2nd floor room as you can hear people walking around/talking when you stay in the lower rooms. Yes, I would stay there again."

"Great family spot"
"The rooms were nice tidy and clean, great price and staff were very nice. They have different size rooms ( lots of spacwe and kitchen amenities) so be clear on what you need or what they will be happy to accomadate. They also offer $5.00 coupon for meals at the resturant next door. It was great for breakfast. The kids had a great time in the pool. across the street from the Orchard mall."
