If you want to find a place where there is no sleep this is the place, everything makes noises and you can hear everyone, place is very outdated place with moldy smells and old and cringy bathroom, they kick you out by 10 am, so no chance to try to recuperate from the sleepless night I would never stay here ever again!!!!

Nice Folks, quiet Stay but needs major Reno.
The people who worked there were lovely and helpful the the hotel needs to be updated and hopefully they will do so as they can afford to but the actual room was clean and tidy and the the mattress was comfortable. And it was $40 a night cheaper than anything else. The hotel was in the old downtown core of Castlegar and had several good restaurants and a pharmacy almost next door. Even though it was “downtown” it was really quite quiet. I would stay again.

Classic, large family-owned Chamelon hotel
It is worth calling the hotel directly, this is a small town and staffing hours are very thin as hotel employees juggle other jobs. However, they are super welcoming and made our check-in incredibly smooth, even at 11pm. Continental, serve-yourself breakfast was included near the front desk, where the coffee maker is located (not in the room). Downsides were the mattress (soft, I like firm), poor sound proofing I suspect, creaky floors- the building is very old. The latter could be a plus. Very fresh smell, silky sheets, newly renovated room, mini fridge for less than $100/night. So happy I chose it. Next time I would book with the hotel directly, I think the price is the same.

Fantastic little hotel
Charming little hotel in the heart of Castlegar. The owner greeted me and got me checked in. She was very nice and personable. She offered me croissants and other baked goods for breakfast. I wish I had spent more than one night.

Great spot to stay at if you're in the Castlegar area. The owner/manager met me at check-in, and we had a great chat. The room was as advertised, and I enjoyed my short stay. I'd definitely recommend this place.

2/10 Poor

Despite a good price, would not stay again even if it was free. This place seemed a bit outdated from the exterior but we kept optimistic as maybe it had some unique charm/character. The inside is still quite 'vintage' which creates some interesting character, but the overall condition made it a terrible stay. The hallways had a very strange smell - like mould masked in cleaning chemicals. The room was only slightly better. The toilet and sink mainly seemed to have been kept clean, but the soap dispenser had an alarmingly large amount of dirty build-up. The shower curtain had mould all over the bottom of it. The bed covering smelled of dirty bodies and odors. The floor would sink underfoot in places, like it's rotting away. Breakfast was a few pieces of fruit, a few things in a mini-fridge to help yourself to, and a dirty coffeepot. Pretty bad time.

4/10 Fair

The owner was nice and helpful. The room was basically clean. The curtains smelled horrible when the fan was on. The breakfast was not eatable as everything could have been handled by numerous other people. The banana and yogurt were the only items that perhaps others had not handled.
