Central Okanagan Hotels with Free Parking.

I spontaneously decided to stay a night to check out the UBCO campus. The location is super convenient, really easy to find by car, and very close to the university – definitely my top choice for visiting the campus. The room facilities were pretty standard, which is what you expect from a chain hotel; they always have a certain standard and guarantee.

The two-bedroom apartment actually has three bedrooms, which is fantastic! The balcony view is amazing, reminiscent of Qiandao Lake. Parking is reasonable. Access control is very secure. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, a washer, and a dryer. It's perfect for family trips. The swimming pool is actually quite small, but the view is amazing. The weather was still a bit cool at this time of year, so the hot tub was very comfortable after the sun went out! The only downside was the hotel's housekeeping service. They wouldn't come in to clean if they saw personal belongings on the bed and the door was closed, but they did leave a small note explaining and apologizing. This was understandable.

The hotel was extremely busy, as it was a holiday weekend. The state of the hotel definitely showed an increase in volume and turnover. Our room, the entranceway, and the bathroom floor had white marks all over it. At first, it looked like a child walked into paint and then ran in and out of the room. However, with the smallest of elbow grease, I was able to remove most of the marks from the bathroom. In doing so, it looked more like dried oatmeal, but I couldn't be sure. My point is that it was impossible not to notice this mess and that someone made a conscious decision to leave it in this manner. They did this, knowing that it was a long weekend and that guests would be paying in some cases double what they normally would pay. At these prices, with taxes,fees, etc, we were over a grand for 2 nights. At these prices, you do expect the rooms to be in pristine condition. We had spoken to a staff member delivering towels to a nèar by room. He informed us that he would speak to his supervisor and that someone would be up shortly. At this point, it was late and we were at the end of a solid week of moving. We needed sleep more than anything. To the best of our knowledge, no one tried to reach us in regard to this issue. This is a beautiful hotel. However, more needs to be done to keep it that way.

Great location, right in the city center/next to the highway, close to supermarkets and restaurants. It's a 7-minute drive to the lakeside beach and 20 minutes to City Park. Excellent value for money, includes free parking, WiFi, and a 24-hour front desk. The rooms are new, renovated in 2024–2025, with a simple and modern design. The bedding is comfortable, and a mini-fridge and coffee maker are provided. Friendly service, with a warm front desk staff and quick check-in/check-out. It's also pet-friendly. Practical breakfast: No free breakfast, but they provide vouchers for the adjacent Ricky’s restaurant (can be exchanged for pancakes/bacon/eggs). You can upgrade your breakfast for an extra charge; I tried the BC Benny, and it was quite good. Facilities include a seasonal outdoor pool, a small gym, and a self-service laundry room. A nice little touch: They put a rubber ducky in the bathroom, which adds a fun brand personality. The downside is the motel-style layout: external corridor access means less privacy. There's only one elevator, so for lower floors, taking the stairs is recommended. Noise issue: Rooms facing the street experience noticeable noise from highway traffic. It's advisable to request a room away from Harvey Ave when checking in. There's no elevator access to the 2nd and 3rd floors, which can be challenging if you have a lot of luggage.

”An absolute gem in Kelowna! The Hyatt Place offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and exceptional service. Our room was immaculate and spacious, featuring their signature Cozy Corner sofa that made relaxing after a day of exploring so easy. The standout for us was the breakfast buffet—easily one of the best we've had at any hotel, with a fantastic variety of fresh options. We also loved the rooftop lounge for evening drinks and the clean, well-maintained indoor pool and hot tub. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier stay with great value!”.

We had late check-in due to our flight coming in late. The girl at the front counter was very kind and helpful. We appreciated being able to get up in the morning and have great choices for breakfast! We've stayed here before, and we'll definitely stay here again!

I stayed at Recreation Inn during my recent trip to Kelowna, and overall, it was a decent experience for the price. The standout for me was the Saturday breakfast – simple but on point. It was served buffet-style with a good mix of egg muffins, fruit, bread, and juice. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, making for a nice start to the day. The room itself was clean and had all the basic amenities I needed, but I have to admit, the condition of the room felt quite dated. The furniture and decor could really use an upgrade, and there was an unpleasant musty odor in the room that lingered throughout my stay, which definitely affected my comfort. The staff were polite and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth. The location is convenient, close to some restaurants and not far from the lake, which was a bonus. If you’re looking for a basic place to crash for a night or two and don’t mind a bit of an older vibe, it could work. But if you’re sensitive to smell or looking for something modern and more refreshed, this might not be the best fit.

The Dilworth Inn is an older hotel and our room appeared dated. The fixtures and fittings were old fashioned and the carpet was well worn. Having said that, it was clean and comfortable. Everything worked and there was a modern TV. There is a pool but it was unavailable during our stay. The hotel is a long way from downtown Kelowna and the lake front. It isn't really walkable and car parking can be expensive downtime. We paid $25.60 for 3 hours near the Japanese garden...ouch! There was plenty of choice for breakfast but all cutlery and crockery, mugs and glasses were disposable, which seemed very wasteful. Maybe that's how they are able to offer attractive room rates. All in all, not a bad choice for people on a budget.

Hotel is a good value The new tubs are so slippery I’m surprised that there have not been several accidents no mats on the tubs but was surprised to see a sign on front offering a mat if requested -that’s a safety issue to me

Overall, my stay was nice and it was a good experience, the Barbecue stove was very good and the location is very convenient too, but the air vent was very dirty and has a heavy smoke smell, the outdoor pool was pretty dirty too..
