The Saddle restaurant better resembles a staff lunchroom. I had to ask if I was in a restaurant because it didn’t look like one. Food was meh!

This motel is located in blue River British Columbia. It is in fact owned by a very nice helicopter skiing company that has a resort just across the highway. The room was clean. The check-in was excellent so many expectations. What was really good was in the middle of this little town. The restaurant is in this hotel and the food was good.

I liked were we stayed but got a little mixed up where to check in. The lobby for check in was across the highway. I did not realize this, I was tired after driving for the day but was directed to the proper place by friendly helpful staff at the restaurant.

I had stayed at the same property approximately 10 days ago. This time the motel unit showed more of its age. Still clean but inferior to the unit I had before. I had a great dinner t the adjacent restaurant. Highly recommended.

Pretty old style unit. No air con, lots of peeling paint. Double bed is small and soft so difficult for two people to sleep in. Check in is across the road - this is not clear in the instructions. Great coffee provided 👍

Location was close to the highway however no actual staff. You have to check in across the highway and signage and directions were lacking. This is a shared multimillion property. WW Adding one full time staff at the property would have made this a excellent stay.
