The Good
The majority of reviews used for this analysis were positive and focused on the rooms, the staff and the amenities.

Many guests felt the rooms were spacious and well-appointed with a fridge and microwave or kitchenette every room. Some also thought the beds were comfortable and that the courtyard view from some rooms was pleasant. However, other guests felt the rooms were starting to show their age (see below for details).

The customer service was a highlight for many guests. Staff were described as being accommodating, friendly and personable, making guests feel as though they were at home.

Many guests appreciated the pool areas and thought the courtyard and playground were well-kept and a nice feature to have during good weather. Several guests mentioned that theses amenities were great for those travelling with kids. Many guests also liked the continental breakfast, describing it as better than your average hotel spread.

The Bad
Although the majority of reviews used for this analysis were positive, some negative comments focused on the age of the building and housekeeping.

Some thought that the rooms were beginning to show their age and were a bit worn around the edges. Guests mentioned that some rooms were dark and drab and could use updated bathroom fixtures and furniture. No elevator between the two floors was also a nuisance for some.

Some guests thought that the housekeeping was lacking. Several reviewers noted that their rooms were not ready upon check-in. Others felt that daily housekeeping was not very thorough and that some rooms could use a deep clean.

Ted from South Surrey, BC CA rated BEST WESTERN PLUS Inn at Penticton 6 out of 10 on September 29, 2005 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Paid full rate, 118.00 + taxes per day for a kitchenette that was well appointed. Had everything that you would need. Bedroom very small with queen bed and tv. Had two night tables with drawers that were unusable because of their size, next to bed. Drawers faced into bed. Carpet in main living area was filthy. Heavily stained. Tv in this area as well. Last day before check out I received a dirty, stained face cloth. I mentiond and showed this to the front desk gal (Kelly, Employee of the Month, according to her name tag)as well I mentiond the carpet stains, when checking out. Her comment was, quote "someone dropped the ball here" unquote. Her concern over the face cloth when I showed her was "what the stain was", "not how or why it ended up in my bathroom for use." No apoligy offered from her. Just, "I'll leave this here for housekeeping to look at" and "here's your invoice." Bathroom tile in shower/tub area needed to be re caulked. Heavily mildewed in tile corners and along the ceiling. Mouldings needed to be painted around base board floor area, this made the room to appear dirty. The room needed a little TLC."
