Hubby and I had a great three day/night trip to Penticton and a lovely stay at the Kettle Valley Beach Resort. The renovation to this lakefront motel was stylish and functional - this is, hands down, the best motel on Lakeshore Drive! We stayed in a Queen standard room, which was exactly what we needed for our quick visit. We parked right outside our room and walked everywhere - the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, the liquor store. The only time we drove was the one day we went to visit wineries in Naramata. Walk score: 100! The room was super clean. Loved the laid-back, coastal vibe of the decor. There were wood floors, a cute rug, a large print of the Okanagan lakefront from the 50s/60s. The room had a desk and chair, mini fridge, coffee maker. The sink was in the room, toilet and tub were in a very small, separate space. There was hanging space in the closet but no drawers so we only unpacked stuff that could be hung, otherwise we just kept things in our bags. There is one luggage rack provided but we had two pieces of luggage so we used the chair to keep the other bag off the floor. Not a big deal for a short trip. We had a raised patio outside our door which was quite spacious. We used it every afternoon/evening to drink wine and enjoy the fresh air. Our only wish for the space was the motel to update the hot water supply. They do explain that the water needs to be run for 3-5 minutes to get hot water but it is such a waste of good, clean water and it does get hot (literally after 5 minutes), but it’s quite wasteful. The motel also provides a lot of “extras” that we found super convenient. They have beach towels, bags of ice for your coolers, two barbecues, picnic tables, covered seating and a fire pit. Who needs a pool when the lake is right there? Not us! But if you prefer a pool, just know there isn’t one. The staff is fantastic. We never saw them in person but they were always checking in with us and quick to respond to texts. Thanks to Shelly and Kendra! We HIGHLY recommend the Kettle Valley Beach Resort. 👍🏽👍🏽🏖
