Inexpensive hotel with decent rooms

It was a very short stay for me, arrived early evening and had to checkout at 545 to catch a bus. The manager was friendly, very accommodating and he made my stay comfortable. If you're looking for inexpensive accommodations without a lot of frills, consider giving Star Lodge a try.

Good just to have place to stay while having a long drive and cheap if you don’t expect too much for the price you pay then it’s worth it to have a nice and cozy bed to relax

8/10 Very good

Everything was great, affordable for my budget, and easy to get things around, a Canadian store for some groceries tosave some money, Domino's Starbucks, Deny's, some little malls near the hotel, if using public transportation you have it in front of hotel, if you have a car, everything is around 10 minutes. The only bad point was some reighbors were smoking and smell was getting inside the room, but that is not hotel's fault. The best, very affordable.
Fridge, microwave, bathtub, all clean.
A nice view from part of city
Parking, if you have car

The staff was amazing and so kind, especially when we did a late check in. He was beyond helpful, made sure our room was all good to go when we got there and let us know what was open food wise in case we didn’t eat dinner yet.

Nice view of the city and has a deck. King bed was nice. Clean but needed upgrading. We were concerned at first about outside appearance but it was quiet

Simplicity at its best🙏

For starters, the couple who currently owns it are super friendly and make you feel so welcomed. The rooms are a bit outdated, but they keep a very good job at keeping it clean and there's a working a c and other appliances. One recommendation is to bring your own pillow, if you're like me and like a thicker pillow what they will give you extra ones if needed. I also enjoyed that it's really close to all the amenities and to the thompson river university. Great location.

Basic Stay

Location of the Star Lodge is very good. Easily accessible with numerous eating establishments and grocery stores nearby. Basic motel with no extra ammenities. A fulltime tenant below us was making all types of noises thru the night. In my 10 years of being a Hotels.com member and staying all over the world, this is the only place that did not accept payment thru the app which was a bit startling for me at check-in when payment in full was demanded. There was some confusion over that. It was however, a decent price compared to all the other over bloated prices of other hotels during the Canada Day long weekend

Check in was good and staff were super kind, but the AC didn’t work and the room had a terrible fishy smell coming from the fridge

Building in very poor condition. It is in an attractive location and I suspect the owners are waiting for a redevelopment opportunity which I am sure will come.

View from room was nice. Too much junk around property from full time users. Couldn't pin point it but a loud noise verbrated room which woke me up during the night a couple of times. Had manager in room to listen to noise. Said was going to look into it but we left before hearing outcome. Will not be staying there again on chance the noise not located and fixed.

6/10 Good

Ok…. Kinda….

Sheets were spotless, room ok, check in bordering on rude. Never could find the included breakfast not that it was a big deal for me. Did not enjoy the pot smokers outside my door at 3am that caused the smoke to come in through the air conditioner. Nobody answered the office door at 8 am so I could drop off my key to check out. Building is generally run down but it’s the cheapest place I could find for a quick visit to Kamloops so hard to expect more.

I would never stay here again. Room smelled like smoke, there were even old cans outside a lot of the rooms for cigarette butts. Bedding must have been from the 70's - so old and threadbare. Way overpriced as well.
