10/10 Exceptional

Estelle is a gem! Kind, friendly, helpful — interacting with her was a highlight of our stay! The room had been updated in the last couple of years, the beds and pillows were comfortable, everything was clean, the water was hot and the AC was cold. We didn’t have time to utilize the pool, BBQs or gazebos, but everything looked well maintained. Bakery, pizza, Japanese food, liquor and convenience store all right across the street, and less than five minute walk to Skaha beach. It was also very close to the family we were visiting. The Empire was a good value, great location and I would gladly stay here again.

Had a great stay at this motel. Room is clean, my only complaint was the shower can be slippery, but that's why they provide the anti slip mat to use.
