Beautiful location, 30 minutes away from anything in Kamloops, misleading advertisement, they said breakfast was included. Then when we arrived, they told us that breakfast was not included, and it was only coffee and a muffin.

Meticulously clean room w/ a SUPER comfy bed. Friendly staff. SUPER worth the drive (from Kamloops) for a peaceful & quiet stay during the 'off-season' when the golf course next door is closed! I will be keeping the conference venue (& their catering services) in mind for future workshops/retreats.

We really enjoyed our stay! The late night receptionist greeted us so warmly, what a treat! She offered us a microwave and mini fridge without us even asking for it and brought it to our room which we put to good use. Her beaming smile was a joy. The lady at our check out was every bit as friendly and courteous, so nice to be treated that way. The room was charming and comfortable and our dog loved the huge grounds! Hope to visit again!

Unsafe, Poorly Managed, and Disappointing for the Price

I stayed at the South Thompson Inn and Conference Centre while travelling for work and had a very upsetting experience. One evening, before 8 p.m., I returned to find the main door locked. No one had told me I needed a code to get back in, and the code was printed in tiny text on the corner of the envelope that held my room key — something easy to miss.

I was left outside alone in the dark and cold with no car, repeatedly calling every number provided. I called the emergency line around 15 times, plus the manager, property manager, housekeeping, and even the chef. No one answered. I left multiple messages. I was scared and completely unsupported, in the cold and dark. Eventually, someone called me later that night to see if I got inside.

Management only refunded half a night and didn't even check in with me the next day — which doesn’t come close to compensating for the stress or safety concern. For the price point and isolation of the location, this is unacceptable.

Other issues included:

No real breakfast (just a granola bar or fruit cup) despite being far from any stores or restaurants.

No feminine hygiene products available in the public washrooms.

Outdated rooms with shared balconies that lack privacy.

If I hadn’t had a coworker there to help, I would have been stranded. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves their communication, emergency procedures, and guest safety protocols.

Sadly both the restaurant and bar were not open, which was not ideal, for a location with no options nearby. We were travelling with a pet, so I took care to book a room that indicated it was pet friendly... but upon booking I was told I booked a non pet friendly room. The staff handled the situation well, kudos to the fellow on the desk. I would suggest an update to the website to avoid any confusion in the future about pets and restauants. The resort is worth another chance... the \"guest ranch\" looks pretty amazing. Cheers!

A very rustic but beautiful property that was the highlight of our trip. Wish we could have stayed another night.
The rooms are all tastefully decorated. Definitely a change from your normal run of the mill hotel room. Loved the verandah seating outside our room with a view of the property and mountains.
Our kids enjoyed visiting the very friendly horses on the property and feeding them apples off the trees!
You can walk to Rivershore Golf Course right next door.

We only stayed one night as a stop off, but all the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Especially Corey behind the bar. Room was very clean and very comfortable, quaint but perfectly adequate for our needs. Location was ideal for what we needed and was quiet, again, what we needed would recommend to anyone as a stop over on the way to/from the Rockies.

This property is quite lovely albeit somewhat dated, but that is part of its charm. The rural setting on the banks of the South Thompson River is peaceful, and the veranda areas along the front and back of the Inn are perfect for settling in with a good book and a glass of wine. I’ll be back, a great place for a quiet break.

The property is in dire need of a refurbishment. The hallway carpets were very worn and stained. The pillows on bed were 4 squares, never seen pillows like that in my life. Paying over $400 a night for a 2 star hotel 25 minutes from town is outrageous.

There is not much to do in Kamloops, but I will definitely go back just to stay in this hotel. It's perfectly maintained, ample spaces, peaceful, the rooms are very pleasant, not cookie cutter and the food beyond expectations. The service is utstanding, even Tanya, from the front desk, wrote us a note in Spanish just to make us feel welcomed. Looking forward to go back.

Be sure to ask for the door code to get back into building as they lock main doors at night. It took me over 5 min to get hold of night attendant to get back inside between 11pm - 12am. No secure wifi network. It's open and instead of prompting for a password, a message comes up saying not secure and all you send is open for others to see. Barely a 3 star accommodation yet they charge as they are 4 star. Just awful - so overpriced & nothing of value. Extremely disgusting greasy streaks and dirt on the sliding door window. Could barely see out it. Hair in ice bucket. No water station in lobby. Run down and simply ugly. Photos on website are not realistic

The South Thompson Inn has a quiet country charm that makes for a peaceful stay. We especially enjoyed the outdoor pool — a nice way to cool down at the end of a warm day. Its close proximity to the golf course was a major plus. While we were disappointed by the extra charge for the in-room fridge, the on-site restaurant served good food. Overall, a relaxing and convenient spot, especially for golfers.

We had a great check in. The employee was kind and helpful. I'm sure many years ago this boutique hotel was beautiful, but now it seems unkept and overgrown. The pool and hottub were both very dirty, hottub was unusable it was full of hair and bugs. Maybe understaffed? The hotel itself(apart from the room) felt old, dark and stuffy. The room was clean and bright, it didn't really match the rest of the hotel. Cobblestone pathway up front probably used to be nice, but now is a tripping hazard. Overgrown weeds and shrubs really take away from the properties charm. Overall it wasn't inherently bad, just needs some help. The staff was very friendly but we wouldn't stay here again.

This is a nice hotel and conference centre but it’s way off the beaten track. It takes half a hour to get there from downtown. Otherwise, the rooms were nice and individually named, the room was clean and fresh, the linens and pillows were great, the bed was good, and the bathroom was clean. We had a balcony with a great view, and we had an opportunity to have food in the restaurant and it was tasty. The only thing I didn’t like about the hotel was that the front stairs really need to be redone. There are a recipe for disaster and given the senior the average senior age of the customers, they really should consider that a priority.

This was a trip to see our Grandson graduate. We traveled with family who stayed with there family and the plan was to have a little get together around the hotel pool but the pool was out of order. We also planned on getting dressed for the occasion in our room but there was no full length mirror lighting was poor and if we opened the blinds the people next to us could walk by as the balconies connected. We had medication that needed refrigeration but there was not a fridge in the room so we had to keep filling an ice bucket. We were also a little surprised there was no continental breakfast or a house phone as we needed towels and we couldn’t phone and ask for them and when we asked a staff member out in the hallway she said she would get them but never came back.
When we went to check out there was someone from the dinning area watching the front desk so she didn’t know what to do so we just gave her our phone # if there was a problem with the check out?

The location is lovely, in the country on the river with a view of hills on one side and the river on the other. And a golf course beside it. It's a quiet location. Trains and the highway are across the river, but really not noisy.
Be aware that it's a 30 minute drive to Kamloops and there are zero stores or other amenities closer. The smaller road on the north side of the river takes a minute or two longer than using the highway, but it's a lovely drive.
The hotel itself is older and it shows a bit. For the price, you may get a nicer room with more amenities in town, but you're paying for the quiet location here. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck outside our room both in the morning and evening. But there were a few downsides as well:

- the air conditioner was a wall unit that was fairly noisy
- the walls are thin and we had enough noise from other rooms at night (TV, coughing, talking) that we turned the AC back on to drown it out
- the curtain doesn't keep the light out very much
- the bed was passable, but with a couple hollows
- the $14.95 breakfast didn't sound appealing so we skipped it.
- the restaurant has limited hours and didn't appeal either
- my wife went to use the pool but didn't go in because of floating leaves and bugs
- there is no fridge in the room, although I think you can get one for $10/night

Overall we enjoyed our stay, but felt the price was a bit steep for what we got. That said, other good hotels in town were even more expensive.

About 15-20 minutes east of Kamloops, drove into Kamloops for supper & breakfast (heading North in morning so made sense). Room 11 had some type of noise start up before midnight, enough that the couple had to change rooms. We were next door in room 13 & didn’t hear anything of substance. Never did find out what it was.
