As soon as we pulled into the (ample) parking lot, we were charmed by the 1960's retro vibe of Empire Motel. The building exterior and grounds are very well kept.
Check in was a breeze and Estelle is a wonderful host.
The room was updated and very clean. The beds were comfortable. Cable tv, ice in the refrigerator, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the shower. Speaking of the shower, there is plenty of water pressure. There was plenty of storage, if you wanted to unpack and settle in.
We were only in Penticton for one night, but we'll definitely be back and could happily spend a week or more at Empire Motel.
