A very nice, clean, large unit with a separate bedroom, and a large area with table and chairs. Bit noisy due to the highway but didn't bother me when I closed the bedroom door. It is not right donton but only a short drive away. I would be happy to stay here again

I have never in my life seen a cleaner hotel room. The rooms are small and sparsley furnished, but neat and clean, and the staff is really sweet.

I decided to book at the Happy Salmon because of all the previous reviews indicating the rooms being very clean and they were absolutely right. The rooms are very basic but very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a coffee maker, a fridge and a microwave. The bathroom was also very clean. The only negative is that my room had a strange smell in it. Not a gross or musty smell by any means but a different type of odour when I first walked in. After being in the room for a few minutes, I didn't smell it after that. When I first drove up, I thought the outside looked a bit dated so I was concerned at first but don't judge a book by it's cover because the rooms are very cute, tidy, clean, small and simple which is all I needed it for. I met Joanna at reception and she is very nice as well. She takes great pride in making the place look nice including planting flowers outside. It's about a 5 minute drive into Salmon Arm where you'll find lots of restaurants and amenities. There is definitely noise from the highway traffic but my room had a door so once it was closed, it was quiet especially at night as the traffic wasn't as busy. It really didn't bother me at all. If you need a place for a few nights, the Happy Salmon will fulfil your needs.

Super clean room, absolutely fine for a roadside motel. The soaps are not terrific, but the pillows are.

Room was clean, staff was friendly, location in right of the highway.

Not the quietest of places next to the highway, but spectacularly clean! Great value for an overnighter or two. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I appreciated the hardwood floor as opposed to a carpet. It looked well maintained! I will recommend this place to others.

Clean and nice

There was no fridge in the room other than a full size one not in use. The pillows should be replaced. Overall it was livable but very basic. Good place to stay on a budget if you just need a bed for the night.

The room was clean, bed comfortable and equipped with all the normal expectations.

A great highway stop while travelling into Salmon Arm, best price for the best quality compared to other local establishments. Very pleasant greeting, comfortable and cozy room in the back (not facing the highway!) and great amenities on offer (tv, wifi, coffee). Great for an overnight where we needed to start fresh early the next day!

Actually a very nice place. Clean, well maintained and quiet. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 rating is because it is somewhat isolated. Not much around in the way of services.

The room was clean. There was nothing about the room that was unsatisfactory. Just very plain. The beds were “ creaky”. Some new mattress would be a good idea. Otherwise I would recommend for the a lower end price

Very clean and efficient. No concerns

The motel room was clean and comfortable. Good value. There is a microwave and fridge in the room, which helps while on the road. Plenty of ammenities for a comfortable stay.

Great location to stop over on long trip as it is right on the Trans-Canada highway. May be a bit noisy if your room faces the highway. Could use extra blankets in the room as it was mid May when we stayed.

Check in was painless, parking was available, the property attendant was courteous and professional even though I arrived late in the night…

Very nice, welcoming friendly owner operator.

Pros: Nice stay, easy to find, VERY clean. Decent price. Cons: There is no plug-in, in the bathroom for electric appliances (curling iron; hair dryer etc) Be sure to pack a hair dryer as there is not one in the room. We had a kitchenette, with a small microwave and small fridge however the cupboards were empty. Make sure to pack a few pieces of cutlery, plates, cup etc.

Very neat and clean with a comfortable bed. Could not get the heat on though and it had only got to 12 C that day so the room was chilly.

Room smelled musty. It was clean but distinctly musty, enough that you could 'taste' it. I kept windows open but it did not go away.
