I recently was in Penticton for business and spent 5 nights here at the hotel.
The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and roomy and an
excellent location. Good price as well this time of year.

I was not expecting much as I had read a number of reviews but as it was in the
dead of winter, I must have lucked out. I was given 'the best room in the house'
according to the desk agent. The price was right too. VERY reasonable. He said I
might want a long bath. Unknowingly I said, "Oh I just do showers." It wasn't
until I went up the (very old and a bit scary elevator) and into my room that I
realized why he said that. Not only was the room huge - it had one of the
largest king sized beds I have ever seen and there was still lots of room around
it - but the bathroom was divine! It had a flat screen TV (viewable from the
bath and the sink), a separate room for the toilet and another glass-walled in
separate room for the shower and the bathtub. When I saw the size of the 3' high
and almost the same wide tub and all the whirlpool jets I understood what he
meant. And after a long drive, it was heavenly. The whirlpool jets were the most
powerful ones I've experienced outside of an actual whirlpool/jacuzzi. It was
amazing. I put the TV on and laid back and was gently pummeled for a good half
hour at least. Really did the trick.
After a very restful night on a really good, solid bed/mattress, I went into the
'shower room' again this time to have a shower. It too was amazing.... I had the
upper frontal shower had AND a huge raindrop shower head above. Plus there was a
nice big wooden bench to sit on.
This was really an excellent way to wind down my vacation and get ready for the
last leg of my trip. Excellent room. Better than excellent bathroom.
I can't remember the room number but it was on the 2nd floor almost directly
above the front desk.

The Coast Penticton is undergoing major renovations and plans an addition. I
stayed in a renovated room and they have on the whole done a very good job. The
bathroom is enormous and includes a bath/shower enclosure you could have a party
in. The windows open, a big plus for me. The bed was comfortable and the work
area adequate. I have only two complaints - the towels are hard and the chair
you use at the desk does not move up or down (it is not a desk chair - just an
ordinary chair). As an average height woman I had to put a cushion on the chair.
Back to the towels -= they are large and new, but very hard. I recently stayed
at the Coast Campbell River and they provide large towels too (in the premium
rooms) only there they are soft.
One other potential drawback - the adjacent restaurant closes at 3. However
there are other restaurants within walking distance.

Needed an affordable place to stay and usually find the Coast Hotel chain is a
good option. This hotel still needs some work - they have expansion plans in
place which will improve the hotel considerably. But if you need something with
an affordable rate then the hotel will do. First the good stuff - my room was
quiet, clean and staff was great (Jackie at the front desk will do whatever you
need to help you out). Now the rest - was told to ask for a jacuzzi room next
time (they only have 8 of those rooms and apparently they're better), Do not
expect to be staying in a high end hotel because this is not but if, and only
if, you get a good rate I can recommend this hotel. The restaurant in the hotel
was not great - only had breakfast once and it did not impress me to return.
There is a nice bar/restaurant across the street in the Sandman Hotel (Bar One)
and Denny's is located there as well.

This was our third stay at this hotel in the last few years. The last two stays
we got one of the really nice big rooms, this time we were given a very small
room with doors to the outside. We still had a great stay, but it definitely
didn't have the same feel to it. Since we were only staying one night this
wasn't a big deal. If we were to stay longer than one night I wouldn't want the
small room. It was very cramped and I don't really like having the door to my
room on the outside of the hotel. Plus there was a second outside door on the
back of the room that led out to a parking lot/alley area and was a bit creepy.
However, for the price we paid it was an excellent deal. The staff were great,
like they've always been. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The
location is great. We will stay here again!

Not that bad of a place to stay, comfortable beds and rooms, and the remodeling
is nice. However, the card locks are incredibly picky about how you slide the
card. While we were staying here, their water shut completely off. We warned the
front desk, and went out for the day. When we came back, there was water, but it
was ice cold, no hot water at all. Also, people are very loud when walking
through the halls at night, and it's slightly annoying when you're trying to get
good rest. I would have expected more for the rate we are paying here, but my
personal guess is that if this is remodeled then it is much better than before.
Probably won't be back, but it will due for this trip. |
