Stayed here with a couple friends and enjoyed the cleanliness and charm of this great little place. The pool was awesome and the breakfast was still available in take away form which was super appreciated!
Would definitely stay again

Review of The Recreation Inn & Suites
Reviewed Jul 7, 2021
We stayed here for a girls trip to Kelowna, it was exactly what we needed. Check in was easy, the front desk girls both on check in and check out were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and in good order. There was extra blankets and the A/C worked great.
Two reasons I didn't put 5 stars; one was that the walls were pretty thin... there was a group of guys staying next to us. They kept it quiet all night, just having conversation but it was like they were sitting in the room with us if the A/C shut off and there was nothing to drown the noise out. Second was that there was no iron and ironing board in the room! I went to the front desk to ask if they had any, and the evening front desk guy was pretty rude about it. I think every room should have an iron and board... or at least available for every room if requested. I couldn't get one because they were "all rented already". Bummer.

Thank you for stay with us! You came up for a visit at a great time weather wise. We are glad that you found the AC and the room in good order as your housekeeping team is working extra hard to keep everything in good order.
We are sorry to hear that you weren't able to get an ironing board and the manager has been notified to buy a few more.
We hope to see you again soon! (With an iron ready should you need it!)

Just needed a clean and convenient stay and this place was perfect. Also nice to go for walks at the recreation center next door. Even though near the highway had a great sleep was not that noisy. I had everything I needed and the staff were very friendly and polite.

Very run down motel, complimentary breakfast was a green orange, a dry muffin and a granola bar in a brown paper bag. My room was filthy and loud, beside the laundry/housekeeping room, my tv did not work and there was a dead wood bug inside my pulled back sheets. The night we stayed, the nice front desk staff came to my room to try and fix the TV but couldn’t figure it out either. She apologized when seeing the condition of the filth!
The next morning when I brought this to the attention of the checkout staff (a man and a woman, whom I believe to be the owners) they were argumentative. They said statements like “the TV does work, and the housekeeper cleaned that room”. Clearly they were very defensive, but to the point where I had to tell them they were being rude and arguing with me. Literally she replied “I’m not arguing, this is not arguing”. They did not apologize once and reluctantly offered me $50 off. Horrific experience!!!
