Chilcotin, British Columbia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Breakfast was 3 out of 5."

"The facilities are new, well maintained. Clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is simple but more than adequate."

"Smoke / fire alarm went off in the room at 11:30pm while my fiancé and I were dead asleep. Staff were not helpful about the situation and upon check out the next morning when I explained this happened and was not happy about it the staff just stared at me without any initiative to remedy the horrible night. Staff said a manager would call me after I pressed about not being happy with my stay, however, a manager never reached out. Heard from family in the area that this has happened at the best Western to others they knew. I will be avoiding this place in the future."

"Was charged for a stay and never actaully checked in or stayed there"

"Good hotel at a fair price. We stayed one Sunday night, arriving about 16:30. Reception was friendly and quick. We had a third floor room with 2 doubles, city view. It was nicely appointed but missing a desk chair. When I phoned the front desk, she noted it but queried if I wanted one. I said yes (as it provides the only seat in the room). Kinda felt like I was imposing on housekeeping to get me one?! The bathroom had no tub, but a first class shower stall. The beds were very comfy. The room temperature control of the under- window air con unit worked very well. The unit wasn't too noisy, as some can be. Breakfast was good with lots of options. Check out was seamless. We recommend this hotel for a good stay in Kamloops."

"Easy check in from desk clerk was friendly"

"Shower was broken had change rooms (find this out at midnight) little compensation The format billing is put through on credit card. Just plain maddening."

"Exactly as advertised and matches or slightly exceeds pricepoint expectations! Not intended to be luxurious but felt well maintained and clean! The continental breakfast was modest and simple but for the price point was decent enough. Had affiliate Indian restaurant right next door that was good. Hotel had limited amenities save for outdoor pool but due to weather was not opened yet but all consistent with price point. Great option for people looking for cost-effective options and no need for frills. Lastly, the staff were pleasant and courteous. In fact the two gentlemen that helped us were excellent!"

"Good stop on your way through town. Older motel, but clean and some updates. Staff are organized and kind. Beds comfortable."
