“Good room, but noisy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed only for one night while passing through. I picked this motel based on TripAdvisor reviews. The room was very clean & tidy as expected. The queen beds were great & the TV was new. The bathroom was excellent....clean & modern. The price was right as well.

However, we found the place to be fairly noisy from other guests. There is not a lot of sound proofing in this old place. We could hear other guests talking outside, & later on, we could hear every footstep in the room above our heads. (Same people) They had a late night & early morning the next day. Perhaps the soundproofing may not be a problem if you encounter more considerate neighbours.

Also the mini fridge had no freezer door, so our ice packs did not refreeze. The mirror on the wall had been removed & was leaning against the wall behind the dresser. This looked recent & was probably being worked on. These are small things that I could easily overlook in a room of this price. I would probably stay there again,

This place also has WIFI which doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. That is a plus for me.

“Good Value and Decent Quality in the middle of Kamloops”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We have stayed at Fountain Motel about 2 or 3 times. It was a recommendation from a business associate that stayed here for a number of weeks that told us about this place. The rates are great, and the lady running the place is very attentive. Clean rooms, good TV. It is a good basic motel. Why pay more?

“what you want in a motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

Since this motel isn't part of a chain, I thought I'd give my first review on trip advisor, because otherwise most people would just pass by without stopping. This place is great value and has everything you want in a motel. It is old fashioned where it doesn't matter (like the wood panelling) but clean and modern where it does, like bathroom fixtures, bed, internet reception. Just little touches were great, like a coffee mug that holds more than a splash of coffee, and the fresh baked muffins in the morning. As far as I'm concerned it's a Canadian classic.

“Excellent Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Fountain Motel after reading other reviews and found it to be exactly as advertized. Clean, quiet and a comfortable bed. Newly updated bathroom and everything was very cozy. The lady at the front counter was very pleasant and even had fresh home made muffins and juice available when we checked out the next morning. Excellent value for the money. If you're expecting something fancy, it's not that but for overnight it was perfect. Fastest internet out of all the hotels we stayed in on our trip too. We were able to watch Netflix on our laptop.
