Hilltop Inn - Salmon Arm

Located just off the Trans-Canada Highway and about a 7-minute walk from McGuire Lake Park, the Podollan Inn Salmon Arm is popular with travellers who prefer a boutique-style hotel with an on-site restaurant and an outdoor pool.

The hotel consists of two buildings: one is a motel-style walk-up with smaller and cheaper rooms and the main building has an elevator servicing more upscale boutique-style rooms.

Basic motel-style rooms are air-conditioned and come with either a patio or balcony with an exterior entrance. The motel-style rooms offer the following amenities: free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a mini-fridge, a coffeemaker, a desk, iron and ironing board and a hair dryer. Standard rooms offer two double beds.

Boutique-style rooms may come with a kitchenette (includes stove-top and dishes), a sitting area with a sofabed, bathrobes, dual-head walk-in shower, soaker tub, microwave, mini-fridge and fireplace, and offer a variety of bed types.

Hotel amenities include a free-form luxury seasonal outdoor pool, one or two outdoor hot tubs, meeting/banquet space and free parking. On-site dining is offered at Table 24, which is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pets are permitted for an additional $15 per night, and the hotel offers wheelchair accessibility.

Shopping is available 5-minutes away by car at the Centenoka Park Mall, while the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre is about a 3-minute drive northeast. Shuswap Lake General Hospital is approximately a 3-minute drive northwest, and Kelowna International Airport (YLW) can be found roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes southward by car.
