The condo room we had was a little tired, but very clean. Our A/C was not working properly and was swapped out with a new unit within hours…thx Huey!
The beach is beautiful and parking is better than many other hotels on the strip. Have stayed here in multiple occasions and will be back

A lovely surprise, right on the shore of the lake. Easy walking distance into town, the kitchenette was great. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves on the beach was fantastic.

We stayed one night. The check in went smoothly, the room was clean, the bed was good, and it was not noisy. The room was not fancy, but it was good for us.

We were only there for one night as we were on a road trip. We never did see any staff as the office was almost always closed but they did have our check-in ready for us and we were able to text when we left. The best thing about Richter Pass is the location! We loved having the private beach access which we enjoyed and we were able to walk to a restaurant in the evening about a kilometer away for dinner. It was nice to take a break from driving. The room was very clean and roomy. The only room complaint is that exterior lights are left on all night and the room does not have room darkening curtains or blinds. We also couldn't find any access to ice. It might have been somewhere but since we didn't actually see any staff we couldn't ask. We would stay again if room darkening curtains were installed or the lights were turned off by 11 pm.

Professional helpful staff. Our room was clean. They were renovating several rooms, so the area was a bit messy. Needed a bit of TLC outside.

We turned into the first entrance to the Richter Pass resort heading east from Osoyoos and wondered if we'd made a terrible mistake. The dumpsters and junk gave a poor first impression. But once we settled in we quickly came to appreciate the place. The accommodations are basic but for the price, but the beach is great and, especially when compared to neighbouring properties, it is excellent value. One of the best things about our stay here is how friendly all the other guests were, especially around the shared barbecues and outside tables by the lake. There were folks here who clearly have been visiting regularly for many years (I heard one lady say almost 50 years) and I can see why. It's down-to-earth, old-school and unpretentious in the best possible way.
I just wish they could dim the lights on the balconies overnight!

The room was clean and well laid out. I liked the murals painted on the dividers for the lower floor rooms. Probably the lowest price motel in Osoyoos and being right on the beach is a definite plus. The beach is nice and we'll kept. A great bargain and will stay there again.
The only negatives are - the ony plugs available are in the bathroom. Nowhere to hang up clothes which didn't matter to me but might matter to someone else. And every time we turned the TV on we had to change the input on the TV itself.
