A great stay that is affordable and no frills as advertised. A pass to the fitness centre would be a great value add instead of having to pay a day fee. There is nothing open for food options on weekends so needed to go out first thing each morning for a coffee. Planned to use the cooking lounge but unfortunately our’s was taken over by a large group so there was no way we could utilize it either night. No fault of facility just how it rolls sometimes. Appreciate the free parking! Thanks UBCO.

Excellent Kelowna hotel
Had several bookings over the summer in Kelowna while exploring the Okanagan and always had a pleasant experience at UBCO. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Basic but good hotel that is well run. All the staff are eager to help guests feel welcomed from housekeeping to front desk. Rooms are basic but clean and some have great mountain views. It’s quiet and safe. Probably the best value you can find during summer in Kelowna.

Excellent views from room. Basic but clean rooms
Excellent hotel in Kelowna during the summer. Well equipped but basic rooms with mountain views for some of their studio rooms. Friendly service. Great value. And regular bus service straight to downtown Kelowna and across. You don’t need a car. While few dining options on campus, delivery is plentiful. 24 hr front desk and friendly staff.

Safe and convenient location. Friendly staff.
Had a pleasant stay at UBCO over the summer in several bookings. The campus is safe and convenient to explore Kelowna and Lake county. It’s convenient even without a car. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and probably one of few options in Kelowna that has studio rooms. Basic but good. Great value as well.

The stay was great, my mom was amazed. The only thing that could be improved is the show, very limited space, making it more challenging to complete a shower. We'll come back next year anyway.

I was picking up some people at the airport who were on a late flight so i decided to spend one night in Kelowna. For three people the student residency rooms were cheaper than nearby hotels. As a very basic place to sleep for one night, it was ok.

It's quiet from the city's hussle. You need a car to go around. Campus is good and quiet. Rooms were clean. It's just that if they could provide basic toiletries like toothpaste and body wash it would be awesome.
